Criticality safety evaluation for long term storage of FFTF fuel in interim storage casks

Description: It has been postulated that a degradation phenomenon, referred to as ``hot cell rot``, may affect irradiated FFTF mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX) fuel during dry interim storage. ``Hot cell rot`` refers to a variety of phenomena that degrade fuel pin cladding during exposure to air and inert gas environments. It is thought to be a form of caustic stress corrosion cracking or environmentally assisted cracking. Here, a criticality safety analysis was performed to address the effect of the ``h… more

45-Day safety screen results for Tank 241-C-101, auger sample 95-AUG-019

Description: One auger sample from Tank 241-C-101 was received by the 222-S Laboratory and underwent safety screening analyses--differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and total alpha analysis--in accordance with the tank characterization plan. Analytical results for the TGA on the crust sample (the uppermost portion of the auger sample) (sample number S95T000823) were less than the safety screening notification limit of 17 weight percent water. Verbal and written notifica… more

Reductions in the manufacturing cycle for the fluorination process of the 234-5 Building

Description: In the dry chemistry process of the Metal Fabrication Building, plutonium oxalate as received from the Isolation Building is converted to plutonium tetrafluoride and the fluoride is then reduced to the metal. This document discusses the oxalate-fluoride conversion which involves oxidation of the oxalate and subsequent fluorination of the oxide, utilizing anhydrous HF gas. Batch operation is practiced. The standard batch for the period covered by this report was 400 g Pu.

Authorization for use of an alternate method of processing turnings: 234-5 Building, briquetting of plutonium turnings

Description: Plutonium turnings formed in the machining operation are processed by recycling them to the reduction operation. The turnings are here combined in the radiation charge to form a button with the plutonium from the reduction of the fluoride. Occasionally an inventory of turning will accumulate, especially when a number of machined pieces are recycled to be recast. Since the amount of turnings to plutonium in plutonium fluoride considered safe for reduction is a maximum ratio of 1.35, a high turni… more

Measuring the permeability of Eleana argillite from area 17, Nevada Test Site, using the transient method

Description: Using the transient method, we determine the permeability of high-quartz Eleana argillite from the Nevada Test Site as a function of effective pressure. By comparing calculated and observed pressure decay in the upstream reservoir, we have determined the permeability of intact and fractured specimens at effective pressures ranging from 1.0 to 24.0 MPa. Over this pressure range, Eleana argillite has a low permeability (10{sup -16} to 10{sup -19} cm{sup 2}) when intact and a higher permeability (… more
