Recovery of cesium, technetium, rhodium and palladium from stored waste supernates

Description: The results of our assessment of the processing methods and costs for the recovery of cesium, techneium, rhodium, and palladium from aged waste supernates are presented. Guidelines for the assessment of costs are given. Cesium can be readily absorbed from alkaline waste supernates without prior treatment using Linde AW-500, a synthetic zolite. Technetium, present in the supernate as the pertechnetate anion, together with rhodium and palladium, probably present as anionic nitrite complexes, can … more

Surveillance photography. Technical memorandum L-164

Description: The surveillance photography of underground nuclear detonations at NTS was engineered by EG&G to furnish the following information on unexpected venting: (1) establish when, with respect to zero time, the venting occurred; (2) record the point or points of emission of the venting gases; (3) show the colors, if any, of the venting gases; (4) the direction of cloud travel; and (5) dimensions and volume of the cloud as a function of time. In addition, the film records provide a color documentary f… more

Fuel failure Lot KY-928-Q D Reactor

Description: On February 13, D Reactor sustained a bumpered enriched fuel element failure in process tube 3289. The element failed in the twenty-first position from the rear of the charge and was from lot KY-928-Q. Visual examination of the failed element indicated the failure mechanism to be cleavage of the uranium core. This conclusion was substantiated in part by the appearance of ``worm tracks`` in the aluminum jacket. The fuel failure was detected approximately three hours after the reactor had resumed… more
