Process specifications for critical mass control: Purex Plant. Revision No. 2

Description: This document is Revision No. 2 of the ``Process Specifications for Critical Mass Control -- Purex Plant``. It encompasses the changes in flowsheet, equipment and plant operating philosophy that have developed since the plant startup. It supersedes Document HW-44064 (Revision No. 1). Plutonium-239 and uranium-235, either as the metals or as dissolved or solid compounds are capable of spontaneous and violent nuclear reactions. Following initial dissolution of irradiated natural uranium fuel elem… more

Process Specifications for Operational Control: Purex Plant. Revision 1

Description: The Process Specifications for Operational Control of the Purex Plant(l) have been revised to define the operational control changes as a result of (a) converting the Purex Plant from three to two cycles, and (b) the use of the Plutonium Anion Exchange Unit (N-Cell) for routine plutonium concentration in place of the L-Cell Concentration Package. The flowsheets specified in Figures I-1, -2, and -3, and Table I fulfill the requirements for nuclear and chemical safety within the process as define… more

NPR design basis

Description: The design basis is composed of requirements and conditions for the design of the reactor plant (composed of the reactor and heat dissipation system). Its intent is to insure that the final product meets the economic, safety, and technical objectives of the project. The design basis is dependent on the ground rules, objectives, technical criteria, and practical design considerations. This document is being issued with the understanding that these items are not yet firmly established in all resp… more

Specifications for prototype in-core flux monitor

Description: A direct means of monitoring and indicating the neutron flux in a reactor core is required to maintain neutron-flux equilibrium and to eliminate hot spots, flux peaking and flux oscillations. This report presents operating specification for an in-core flux monitor. The specifications are based upon the recognized requirements and operating characteristics for Hanford reactors and are presents as the criteria for development, application, and evaluation of prototype in-core flux monitor systems.

Fuel element design handbook

Description: The economic development of nuclear reactors depends upon the integrated progress in the fields of reactor design, fuel element design, reactor operation, and fuel production and separation. Broad criteria, which restrict the fuel element design, are determined by the mutual consideration of the problems encountered in all the above fields. Hence, no stage of reactor design or operation is independent of the fuel element problem, nor can the fuel element designer disregard the interest of any o… more
