200 Area processing rates

Description: Two types of ``feedstock,`` i.e. irradiated uranium and uranium from underground storage, are processed by the 200 Areas. Future operations may add irradiated thorium as a supplementary feed material. In either case, the major portion of future feedstocks is presumed to be in the form of irradiated metal, i.e. uranium and/or thorium, resulting in an almost complete dependence of the required 200 Area processing rate on reactor power levels and metal irradiation history. This document presents c… more

Hypothesis Concerning Irradiation Embrittlement of Uranium

Description: In discussion with a number of people at HAPO, KAPL and ANL a hypothesis has been evolved which appears to fit available information concerning irradiation embrittlement of uranium as well as indicate a possible solution to the problem. The purpose of this memorandum is to expound the hypothesis as an aid to those working with the problem. Since it imbodies the ideas of many people, no claim to unique authorship is implied.
