Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report July 1959

Description: A Lucite model of a multi-stage countercurrent hydroclone solvent extraction apparatus has been constructed and tested with Amsco-water. The diffusivity of Cs 134 tracer in aqueous chloride solution was measured to check the performance of the capillary diffusivity measuring system. The experimental data from four Druhm runs showed that 1/8in. thick graphite liners are usable for reactor temperatures above the boiling point of sodium.

Trip Rerport Organic Reactor Collant Survey

Description: A preliminary report has shown the potential importance of organic reactor coolants to Hanford technology. The salient points are complete avoidance of corrosion problems and accomplishment of DPR performance with low pressure technique. The recommendation of the report that loop tests be made at Hanford is to be acted upon by Recirculation Technology Unit as soon as organic coolant material is received. To insure starting this experimental work fully abreast of the information available, a tri… more

Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel

Description: The radiation hazards associated with recycled nuclear reactor fuels will greatly complicate the handling and refabrication of these fuels. This problem is most serious with U-233 and plutonium fuels where the presence of U-232 and the heavier isotopes of plutonium contribute energetic alpha, gamma, and neutron radiations at levels many times that from isotopically pure U-233 and Pu-239. This report summarizes present knowledge of the radiation hazards associated with recycled fuel and the addi… more

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein

Description: A method was developed for the determination of osmium by measuring the absorbancy of osmium tetroxide in CHCl3. The osmium is first oxidized to the octavalent state and the osmium tetroxide which is formed is extracted selectively with CHCl3. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of OsO4 in CHCl3 has a series of absorption bands with peak absorbancies at 282. 289, 297, 304 and 312 mu, and molar absorbancy indices of 1870, 1760, 1640, 1400 and 1000, respectively. For each wavelength the optimum c… more

Zirflex Dissolution of the Annular Cladding of Simulated Power Fuel Elements

Description: The current interest in a tube-in-tube type Zircaloy-2 clad UO2 fuel element for use in the power reactors provided the incentive for a study of the dissolution of cladding from an annular space. The objectives of the study were to compare the estimated rate of dissolution in the annuli with rates on fully exposed metal. Because of an interest from the design standpoint, heat balance data from the study are reported.

The Flammability of Vapors Above Purex Systems

Description: Among the safety considerations for the Purex plant is the question of flammability limits for the diluent-air system. The present note attempts to delineate the temperature regions of concern by utilizing hydrocarbon flammability data available together with information on the vapor pressures of the systems.

327 Basin Aluminum Corrosion Test

Description: An investigation of corrosion in the 327 Building's water storage basin was made to determine whether the static storage of aluminum jacketed fuel elements could cause corrosion effects that would interfere with studies of in-pile corrosion.

Zirconium Tube Rupture from Localized Overheating

Description: Very little information and data are available on the various physical properties of Zircaloy tubing, especially the high temperature- high pressure failure aspects. As greater use is being made of the low cross-sectional properties of this material in the design and development of reactor components, it was considered desirable to determine the type of failure that would be experienced under conditions of a localized over-heating. This hot-spot could be caused by "cocked" or warped fuel elemen… more

Simulation of an Electromagnetic Nondestructive Test on an Analog Computer

Description: The purpose of this report is to show the impedance of an approximate equivalent circuit on a complex plan for various constant frequencies and different metals. The equivalent circuit represents a testing coil driven with an AC voltage and a network to represent the impedance of the metal.

Photographic Observations of the Growth of Uranium Dioxide Crystals by Vapor Deposition

Description: Photographic observations of the behavior of uranium dioxide at high temperatures are of great value in designing and evaluating fuel elements. This paper reports the growth of uranium dioxide crystals by vapor deposition during out-of-reactor and in-reactor experiments.

Metastable States of Hyperfragments and the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Λ-Hyperon

Description: "We want to point out that there is a possible method for determining the anomalous magnetic moment of the Λ from the observation of metastable states of hyperframents. There are two possible sources for the apparent difference of binding energies of a hyperfragment. One of these comes from the difference of Q values due to the decay into an excited and ground states of the residual nucleus. The other possibility will arise if there exists a metastable state of the decaying hyperfragment."

Vibration-Compacted Ceramic Fuel Elements

Description: Following is a description of what may be an invention in the art of compacting uranium dioxide (UO2) and other ceramic or cermet nuclear fuel materials for ultimate use as reactor fuel elements. Vibration of ceramic fuel materials at the resonant frequency of the metal encasing material, using high rates of acceleration, produces uniformly compacted high-density fuel elements.

Producibility of an Alloy of Columbium with One Percent Zirconium

Description: Abstract. Proven mineral resources show that niobium is the most abundant of the refractory metals and extraction capacity is adequate to meet foreseeable requirements. Approximately four tons of Nb-1% Zr alloy were melted, forged, drawn, and rolled to produce various mill forms and relatively large die impression forgings. It was demonstrated that the Nb-1% Zr alloy is readily amenable to melting, primary working, and secondary working using standard equipment available in the specialty steel … more

Temperature Effect in Homogeneous Pile

Description: Some idealized considerations of the temperature field in the homogeneous pile are given. It is crudely estimated that the effective mean temperature rise of the pile to be used in calculating the k loss is something like 3/4 the rise in temperature of the slurry in passing through the pile.
