Flow loop defect-test behavior of NPR size coextruded fuel tubes

Description: Ex-reactor high temperature, high pressure recirculating water loop defect-tests have been made on SPR size coextruded fuel tubes. The behavior in terms of fuel corrosion loss and fuel shape distortion for ``pin-hole`` type defects has been determined. Effects of annular spacing on the defect-test behavior and the influence on the mechanical and metallurgical conditions of adjacent components has been observed.

Irradiation summary report: PT-IP-247-A-FP irradiation of 1.47% enriched self-supported I&E fuel elements in ribless process tubes

Description: The objective of this test was to irradiate self-supported fuel elements under conditions of severity comparable to those expected for future loadings of this geometry. From this irradiation an attempt was made to determine the resistance to corrosion of cooled cladding, the effect of supports on cladding corrosion and coolant flow patterns, resistance of ``hot-spot`` type of attack, and rupture resistance of projection fuel elements. These results are compared to rib supported control elements… more

Engineering bases for power levels and exposure November 1960--December 1961

Description: It is the purpose of this document to provide assistance to the Manufacturing Section personnel in determining their future operating plans. In general, the inter-relationship of such engineering parameters as flow, reactor orificing, rupture performance, etc. has been considered. The effect of these engineering parameters are summed up in the recommendations for ``Operating Plans`` shown graphically in this document. It is to be emphasized that these plans do not reflect operational considerat… more

Technical description of the new SS accountability program on the IBM-709

Description: The SSA 100 program will compute the buildup and decay of SS materials, (gms Pu, U-235 burnout and uranium burnout) in fuel that has been irradiated in any of the Hanford reactors. The routine input data for the program are the IBM production records supplied by the Production Forecasting and Scheduling Operation. The purpose of this program is to compute and prepare an accurate accountabilty report with a minimum of manual effort. This can either be a report for fuel discharges from the reacto… more

Electron Accelerators Requiring High Peak Power Pulse Modulators

Description: The Astron, a thermo-nuclear fusion research machine, requires the injection of high-energy electron at 5 MEV emery level +- 1/2 %, 200 amperes, 60 pulses per second, 0.3 usec pulse width. The accelerator will work by the induction principle with approximately 500 magnetic cores, each 1/2 inch thick lined up on centers. Each core will be pulsed by a single primary turn and the electrons forming the secondary will experience a voltage acceleration equivalent to the primary voltage upon passing b… more

APDAC-I, A PCTR Data Analysis Code for the IBM 709

Description: A flexible foil data processing program is described. Raw data on foil radioactivity are the basic input information required. Output may consists of relative activities, saturated activities, and/or cadmium ratio and flux spectrum data. A statistical analysis of the data is executed with the direct calculation, and errors estimated for the output data.

Analog and Digital Readout on an IBM Output Writer

Description: Abstract: A control system to provide digital printing and to plot an analog trace on an electric operated IBM model 11C Output Writer is described. The Digital mode of operation translates multidigit numbers through a set of commands to print each digit serially, then presents them to the output writer in a time sequence. The Analog mode of operation converts a d.c. input voltage to a digital number and by tab and space bar commands translates the carriage horizontally a distance proportion… more

Correction to the Debye-Huckel Theory

Description: In a recent paper, Bowers and Salpeter described a method for calculating the correlation energy of a classical one-component electron gas. The same problem has been considered by Meeron, Friedman, and Abe, using methods involving the summation of cert infinite classes of diagrams. While the relation between these theories and that of Bowers and Saltpeter is not year clear, it is interesting to note that Abe obtained an equivalent expression by approximating an integral. We have calculated the … more

Project Cowboy : Close-in Pressure Measurements with Tourmaline Crystals on Tamped Detonations

Description: In January and February, 1960, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory personnel conducted a series of experiments in Phase II of Project Cowboy in which tourmaline crystal transducers, located very close (3 to 50 feet) to tamped high explosive detonations, detected dynamic elasto-plastic stress waves generated in salt. The detonations occurred 110 feet below the 800-foot working level of the Carey Salt Mine, near Winnfield, Louisiana. These experiments were designed to measure dynamic stress conditions … more

Note on Estimating the Energies of the Arizona and Ungava Meteorite Craters

Description: In the course of the cratering studies conducted as part of the Plowshare Program, the dependence of crater dimensions on depth of burst and the scaling laws relating crater dimensions to total energy release have been derived for chemical explosions in the desert alluvium of the Nevada Test Site. The desert alluvium is a lightly cemented sand and gravel, which was chosen for study because the first nuclear cratering explosions were fired in the medium and it was of interest to compare the nucl… more

A Wrist Badge Film Dosimeter for Hand Dose Measurement

Description: The wrist badge provides a dosimeter that is useful in estimating the radiation dose to the hands and forearms. Its new shield system gives good gamma and slow neutron dose discrimination with duPont 552 film packets. The film can be evaluated using the present technique and equipment. Several attempts to develop hand dosimeters have been made. Finger rings using film have been used routinely but have not been entirely satisfactory for all situations. The wrist badge was developed to provide im… more

Scavenging as a Predisposal Treatment for NPR Decontamination Wastes

Description: A disposal method is needed for wastes generated from the decontamination of the NPR primary coolant loop. The limitations imposed by facilities design criteria for the disposal of NPR wastes preclude direct river release of the spent cleaning solutions because of the anticipated quantities of radioactive material in these wastes. The soil at a 100-N Area trench or crib should not be relied on for removing radionucleotides by ion exchange or filtration because of the high salt content of the wa… more

Process Improvement Transition Authorization #11-I Installation of Van Stone Seal Inserts - F Reactor.

Description: Continued operation of F reactor with high water collection rates during the past 12 years has resulted in numerous detrimental effects. In addition to promoting external corrosion tube leaks, water leaks have corroded the Gunbarrel to the biological shield donut assemblies and cast iron thermal shield blocks, thus preventing the majority of tubes in F reactor from unrestrained thermal expansion. Fatigue of the Van Stone flange under the resulting compression loads leads to eventual failure in … more
