A new constant monitor for ruthenium and iodine in stack gases. Status report

Description: Present methods for monitoring Ru{sup 103}, Ru{sup 106}, and I{sup 131} in stack gases involve sampling by filtration and scrubbing and analysis by chemical separation and counting or by gamma spectrometry. Filtered samples, which are ordinarily collected over a complete day, are analyzed for total ruthenium and iodine by gamma spectrometry and for the individual isotopes by chemical separation and counting. The present scrubber monitors the sampler gas for total activity. As an aid to Radiolog… more

Production Test No. 105-519-SI irradiation service request No. HAPO 108: Studies of uranium crystal structure damage using low irradiation temperatures

Description: This document discusses studies of the behavior of uranium metal as a fuel element which previously have been hampered by the lack of understanding of the nature of radiation damage to the crystal structures. With the aid of the double crystal x-ray spectrometer, samples from irradiated fuel elements which had receive total exposure of 150 MWD/T and 1,000 MWD/T were studied and gross radiation damage was not present. Although these findings are of a preliminary nature, they are well in agreemen… more

Evaluation of nickel ferrocyanide scavenging of Uranium Recovery Plant solvent extraction waste

Description: The Uranium Recovery Plant, over the life of the operation, will be required to attain maximum recovery of stored uranium and to produce aqueous waste in a volume equivalent to the volume of stored uranium waste which, after acidification, constitutes the feed stream for the process. Due to variations in the composition of the feed stream, the waste stream does not consistently have a volume equivalent to the volume of the stored metal waste. This variation volume equivalence impedes tank farm … more

Production Test 105-524-A: Washer seal and seal leakage tests for the horizontal rod. Final report

Description: Production Test 105-524-A authorized the installation of a washer seal on the ``A`` horizontal control rod at C Pile in order to determine the characteristics of this type seal when used on unlubricated rods. The most important characteristic to be observed during the test was the gas leakage rate. A qualitative study of the seal wear and radiation damage to the seal were also to be made. This document reports the conclusion of the test and discusses the results obtained.

[Discussion by R. M. Evans at a meeting held with the members of the Military Liaison Committee on February 17, 1954]

Description: Characteristics of the heavy water moderated and cooled reactor when fueled with natural uranium were compared with those of Hanford. The following topics were covered: (1) fundamental safety of the Savannah River Plant reactor and its fundamental efficiency as neutron collector; (2) many critical volumes result in a complex control system and high sensitivity of flux pattern to rod position changes; (3) due to lack of time had to sue slugs initially; (4) had to use D{sub 2}O sparingly; (5) eff… more
