SRE CONTROL ROD SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS

Description: Data taken on radiation traverse of the Mark 1 control rod were analyzed. Future radiation levels for all SRE control and safety rods were predicted from this. The shielding necessary to ship a complete rod and that necessary to protect a person doing maintenance work on these rods were calculated. The unshielded gamma dose rate 1 cm from the surface of the most highly activated portion of the control rod was calculated to be 5.0 x 10/sup 4/ r/hr 14 days after shutdown following an extended pow… more

Purex two-cycle flowsheet. Revision No. 1

Description: Since the issuance of the Purex Phase II flowsheet a number of improvements have been suggested and additional information has been obtained. The purpose of this document is to summarize the more recent information and to bring the two-cycle chemical flowsheet up to date. Later changes will be similarly documented. The Phase II terminology has been dropped as the primary objective of the two-cycle conversion is economy rather than capacity. As mentioned in reference (1), the flowsheet has been … more

Summary Report: AEC Reference Fuel-Processing Plant

Description: From introduction: The primary purpose of this report is to record the bases chosen in setting the Commission's policy on processing charges to assure that individual charges are on a consistent basis in conformance with the policy. Secondly, it may aid reactor operators in estimating the AEC processing charges for a variety of fuels and reactor conditions. It may also be of interest to potential chemical processors by showing the approach followed in developing these charges.
