105-N charge-discharge rates

Description: Figures have and can be generated that indicate a higher charge-discharge rate if required before 105-N will be comparable with existing reactors. Also, these figures show an apparent operating cost incentive to increase the charge-discharge rates proposed for 105-N. Although these figures may be true by themselves, other figures developed from the same information and stated on a basis that affords a true comparison, show that the proposed rates for 105-N are compatible with those in existing … more

Conversion ratio tables

Description: This manual provides a list of the quantities of plutonium and plutonium isotope formation. Other isotopes whose concentrations are important and included in this report are U-236 buildup, U-235 burnout, U burnout, Np-237 build-up, GVR (the Gas Volume Ratio) in coproduct target elements and equivalent gram of plutonium. These conversion tables have been calculated on the IBM 7090 digital computer using a program entitled ``FLEX-3.`` The results of the computer solutions have not been normalized… more

IPD reactor training text, declassified supplement: Chapter 2, Design and construction of the Hanford production reactors

Description: Purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of reactor construction and an understanding of important design considerations: how it is built, why it was built that way, what it is supposed to do, what the nuclear safety considerations are, and what one needs to know about its design/construction to properly operate it.

Xenon calculations for I and E fuel element

Description: This document describes in detail the calculations that are basic to the xenon problem. While much of this work appears elsewhere, herein an attempt has been made to bring it together and make it as understandable as possible. The principle purpose of this document is to calculate the equilibrium xenon poisoning for the I and E geometry fuel element and compare the results to the equilibrium xenon poisoning for the solid geometry fuel element. Further objectives are to provide an understandable… more
