Emitted and decayed values of radionuclides in gaseous wastes discharged to the atmosphere from the separation facilities through calendar year 1972

Description: Gaseous wastes from the chemical separations processing of spent reactor fuel elements and product finishing operations have been discharged to the atmosphere since 1944. Data on plutonium, beta, iodine, and uranium emissions for the twenty-nine years are provided. The known radioactivity in gaseous wastes and estimated radioactivity in gaseous waste where prime data were not available are presented. Emission data are not included on gaseous wastes emitted from 200 Area facilities which are now… more

Radioactive debris from the Chinese nuclear test of June 17, 1974. [Measured at Richland, Washington]

Description: According to the news media, the Chinese People's Republic detonated a nuclear device estimated to have a yield between 0.2 and 1 megatons on June 17, 1974. Radioactive debris from this test was observed at the Richland, Washington laboratory on June 24, 1974, approximately seven days after this detonation. The radionuclide levels were extremely low and required 1000-minute counts on our most sensitive instruments for the measurement on air filters. After the initial observation, airborne radio… more

Users' guides for radioactivity standards

Description: A short guide to chemical and counting problems for standards that are in common use or are expected to be available is presented. The Users' Guides are prepared separately for every element, so that the user need only consult a few paragraphs. The discussions are far too brief to provide adequate information on the chemical and nuclear decay properties of the substance; the ochemistry Subcommittee, NASNRC, and Nuclear Data Sheets should be consulted for this purpose.

Improved heat transfer from radioactive waste canisters

Description: From joint meeting of the American Nuclear Society and the Atomic lndustrial Forum and Nuclear Energy Exhibition; San Francisco, California, USA (11 Nov 1973). Since the radioisotope content that can be tolerated in a canister full of radioactive waste is limited by the amount of heat which can be dissipated from the waste to the surroundings, the heat transfer characteristics of a simple cylindrical canister containing only nonmetallic radioactive wastes were compared with canisters having the… more
