Leach and soil column tests with stored redox sludge

Description: The leachabilities of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 239/Pu, and /sup 137/Cs from solids in Tank 108-SX were determined. Through 21 leach cycles covering a 3.5 day period, 63 volumes of leachate removed 1.4, 4.6, and 19.2% of the /sup 239/Pu, /sup 90/Sr, and /sup 137/Cs, respectively, from the 108-SX solids. With the exception of the first few leachates, the /sup 239/Pu concentrations in the leachates were less than maximum permissible concentration in drinking water for 168-h/wk exposure. A composite of the… more

Thulium-170 oxide heat source experimental and analytical radiation and shielding study

Description: Radiation dose rates from three thulium-170 oxide sources (20.7, 10.0 and 5.0 thermal watts) were measured through three thicknesses (1/4, 1/2 and 1 inch) of absorber by thermoluminescent dosimetry techniques. Absorber materials used were aluminium, stainless steel, lead, tungsten and depleted uranium. Resultant radiation doses were measured at 19 and 100 cm. Comparison of theoretical dose rates calculated by computer with measured dose rates validated the calculation technique for lead, tungst… more

Initial objectives of on-site empirical modelling of thermal plumes: A preliminary evaluation of a river-site and a lake-site thermal plume

Description: This report recommends developing a statistical model to characterize the three-dimensionall pattern of thermal plumes, It indicates the danger of drawing detailed conclusions on the basis of a small number of observations, and emphasizes the need for proper interpretation of empirical measurements, Two reports, on the discharges (1) from the Dresden Power Station into the Illinois River and (2) from Waukegan Station into-Lake Michigan are analyzed. In conclusion, a plan for interpretation of t… more

Nuclear and chemical safety analysis: Purex Plant 1970 thorium campaign

Description: The purpose of this document is to discuss the flowsheet and the related processing equipment with respect to nuclear and chemical safety. The analyses presented are based on equipment utilization and revised piping as outlined in the design criteria. Processing of thorium and uranium-233 in the Purex Plant can be accomplished within currently accepted levels of risk with respect to chemical and nuclear safety if minor instrumentation changes are made. Uranium-233 processing is limited to a rat… more

RADIOECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER Part I

Description: The use of Columbia River water as a reactor coolant and the subsequent discharge of this cooling water into the River introduces a number of radioactive elements into the river environment. These radionuclides are produced by the neutron activation of stable elements in solution in the cooling water and the sloughing off of radioactive corrosion products from the surfaces of the reactor cooling tubes. The relationships of these radioactive materials to river organisms have been studied since r… more

Proposal for a search for magnetic monopoles at NAL

Description: The discovery of a magnetic monopole would be an important experimental result. It would give a reason for the phenomenon of exact electric charge quantization that is not explained yet any other way. Schwinger's dyon theory makes monopoles even more important because they would also be the quarks, i.e., the building blocks of the hadrons. Schwinger's scheme requires the electric charge of the monopoles to be a multiple of 1/3 of the electron charge while all magnetically neutral particles must… more

Correlation of Backswamp Sediments: Atchafalaya Test Section 6, Atchafalaya Levee System, Louisiana

Description: This report describes the results of a series of tests on soil borings taken in Atchafalaya Test Section VI, a 2000-ft-long portion of the Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee System in south-central Louisiana. The samples were tested to interpret the depositional layers in the foundations soils and to determine various engineering properties.
