Radiological aspects of dissolving irradiated Li-Al

Description: If a metal shipment from the reactors to a chemical processing plant contained irradiated Li-Al pieces, there would be a release of tritium during processing. Two situations were analyzed -- one where a single piece is inadvertently mixed in a bucket of irradiated uranium metal pieces, and the extreme case where three buckets of Li-Al instead of uranium are sent in a regular well car shipment. One piece contains about 600 curies of H{sup 3} and three buckets of 585, pieces each would contain a … more

RADIATION SAFETY AND CONTROL AT THE OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY, 1960- 1962

Description: Activities of the radiation safety program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the period 1960-1962 are described. A reduction in the frequency of radiation accidents was observed and a training program for technical and nontechnical personnel has been formulated. Sixteen facilities were improved to ensure safe operation at a cost of approximately 388,589. A comprehensive Radiation Warning and Communication System is being installed in three phases over a period of three years ending in FY 196… more

A REVIEW OF THE ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY RADIATION EXPOSURE EXPERIENCE FOR THE YEARS 1959-1961

Description: A general analysis of the Argonne National Laboratory experience with radiation exposure of employees was made by means of machine-processed records. Distribution of employee exposures according to age, years of employment, laboratory division, job group, and sex were determined for a three-year period. A 23.6% increase in the number of employees monitored occurred from 1959 to 1961. The number of measurable exposures increased 107%. The greatest influence on the increase in measurable exposure… more

RADIOISOTOPE-FUELED POWER SUPPLIES. Lecture Presented at University of California, Los Angeles, California, UCLA Short Course, Space Power Systems, July 17-28, 1961

Description: Considerations that permit selection of a radioisotope that meets the complex requirements of the desired power supply are discussed. Methods of separation and purification of useful isotopes are outlined. Brief mention is made of the principles of direct conversion of heat to electricity. Design approaches for isotopic power units are described. A delineation of the approach to the solution of the nuclear safety problem is made, followed by predictions for the future of isotopic power. Sample … more

Relative hazard of the various radioactive materials

Description: An equation is given for the relative hazard, H, of various radionuclides under uniform working conditions. H is defined as the ratio of the average muC/cc inhaled in the working area to the maximum permissible concentration, MPC, of the radionuclide for occupational exposure. The variation of H is discussed in relation to such parameters as radioactive and biological half lives of the radionuclides, fractional retention, dilution factors, specific activity, energy, RBE, relative damage factor,… more

A FACILITY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF Pu$sup 238$

Description: A pilot plant facility for recovering Pu and unconverted neptunium from irradinted neptunium target elements was operated for 17 months at the Savannah River Laboratory. The process required that the irradiated target elements be dissolved and the solution be processed through three anion exchange cycles for removal of undesirable fission products and cations, recovery of unconverted neptunium, and concentration of the Pu/sup 238/ solution. The process equipment was enclosed in three stainless … more
