Generalized river model tests with heated effluent at Bonneville Hydraulics Laboratory

Description: The distribution of the heated effluents discharged by Hanford reactors to the Columbia River has been a matter of interest since the early design stage of the first reactors. The pattern of this distribution is a major factor in determining the extent to which a downstream reactor is affected by those upstream, as well as the localized effects on the ecology of the river. Pollutional characteristics of the effluents are three - heat load (or temperature increase), chemical contents and radioac… more

Transistorized Linear Pulse Amplifiers

Description: The basic investigation of transistor feedback amplifiers has proven mathematically simple and of great practical value. The behavior of single- stage commonemitier amplifiers is described and provides a building block with which cascaded feedback amplifiers can be analyzed and designed. From the results of this analysis the conditions for minimum drift for cascaded singlestages and cascaded loops have been derived. A transistorized linear amplifier, pulse-height discriminator, scaler, and high… more

Basic Studies of the Separation of Uranium Hexafluoride from Mixtures Containing Chlorine Trifluoride and Hydrogen Fluoride

Description: Processes for the conversion of uranium compounds or uranium metal to uranium hexafluoride ordinarily involve the use of a powerful fluorinating agent. Elemental fluorine is used when the scale of operations justifies the construction of a fluorine generating plant, but for smaller operation the use of the interhalogens of fluorine has definite advantages. These compounds provide a high concentration of fluorinating power at moderate temperatures and pressures and are more easily stored and tra… more

Radioactive Waste Disposal at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory

Description: One of Its Monograph Series The Industrial Atom.'' Disposal of radioactive wastes from KAPL is considered with respect to the three physical categories of waste--solid, liquid, and airborne---and the three environmental recipients ---ground, surface water, and atmosphere. Solid waste-handling includes monitoring radiation levels, segregation, collection, processing, packaging, storing if necessary, and shipping to a remote burial ground at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Liquid waste is coll… more

HRP-CP: Conclusions Concerning the Predicted Behavior of Insoluble Corrosion and Fission Products in the HRT

Description: Information available from HRP-CP development studies was summarized amd used as a basis for predicting the probable behavior of corrosion and fission product solids in the HRT and its associated chemical processing plant. Operation of the chemical plant will probably limit the HRT circulating solids concentration to between 10 and 100 ppm; quantitative predictions are uncertain due to uncertainties concerning the charaeteristics of reactor solids and the effects of rcactor geometries.

Neutron Bursts in a Ring Reactor

Description: Azimuthal propagation of disturbances in a large aunular reactor is investigated by studying the equalization of neutron bursts in a ring or simply- periodic reactor. One-velocity diffusion theory is employed to obtain convenient expressions for the time required for approximate equalization of neutron density around the ring. (auth)

Equipment Checkout Prior to Are Processing, Volatility Pilot Plant Run B-1

Description: The head-end system for the ARE salt was tested with barren salt and shown to be operable. Transfer of the final batch of salt by gravity flow from the bold tank was shown to be feasible with a redesigned feed salt freeze valve. The CRP trap was also redesigned but the remote dumping mechanism did not function properly. (auth)

HEALTH PHYSICS ASPECTS OF HANDLING URANIUM-233 FEED MATERIAL

Description: The processes of separation purification and fabrication of feed materials containing U/sup 232/, U/sup 233/, U/sup 234/, U/sup 23 and U/sup 238/ require much closer health physics supervision than do the enriched or naturally occurring mixtures of U/sup 234/, U/sup 235/, and U/sup 238/ found in natural uranium. The primary problem is the control of alpha and gamma radiation. The isotope U/sup 233/ presess only an alpha control problem; however, the daughters of U/sup 232/constitute a gamma pro… more

The Multigroup Diffusion Equations of Reactor Physics

Description: The partial differential equations of the multigroup diffusion model of reactor physics are shown to have solutions both in the time-independent and timedependent problems, and the usually assumed behavior of these solutions is shown to be mathematically valid. The method of spectral representation is developed for the multigroup diffusion operator. (auth)

A Mach 4 rocket-powered supersonic tunnel using ammonia-oxygen as working fluid

Description: From Summary: "A rocket-powered supersonic tunnel has been constructed to simulate the high heating rates encountered in hypersonic flow. A gas temperature of 4500 degrees Rankine at Mach 4 has been produced in the 15-inch test section of the tunnel. The calibration pressure data indicate reproducibility of test conditions in this facility. Physical, transport, and one-dimensional aerodynamic data from combustion products of ammonia and oxygen are included."

MIXING RATES BETWEEN THE HRT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS

Description: Transient effects of making step changes of the core dump tank concentration are studied for single-region operation of the Homogeneous Reactor Test. It is assumed that the feed and the letdown streams are only between the core high-pressure system and the core dump tanks, and that transfer of fuel to or from the blanket can only be made through the core high pressure system. Transfer rates between the HRT highpressure systems of 75 to 100 lb/min will give reasonable mixing times, about 4 hours… more
