Sodium-fire control by space isolation with nitrogen flooding: FFTF proof test F2

Description: Sodium fire protection by space isolation with nitrogen flooding was evaluated by performing a large-scale sodium fire test within a mockup of an FFTF secondary sodium system pipeway. The full scale (3350 ft/sup 3/) mockup was initially filled with air and its leak tightness set to correspond to that expected in an actual FFTF pipeway. The basis for specifying the rate of nitrogen flood gas is discussed ad the experimental verification provided. Nitrogen flooding was activated 15 minutes after … more

Ex-vessel core catcher design requirements and preliminary concepts evaluation. [LMFBR]

Description: As part of the overall study of the consequences of a hypothetical failure to scram following loss of pumping power, design requirements and preliminary concepts evaluation of an ex-vessel core catcher (EVCC) were performed. EVCC is the term applied to a class of devices whose primary objective is to provide a stable subcritical and coolable configuration within containment following a postulated accident in which it is assumed that core debris has penetrated the Reactor Vessel and Guard Vessel… more

Concept and preliminary design of double tubesheet connector region for design and steady-state conditions. [LMFBR]

Description: In this analysis the structural integrity of the double tubesheet connector for the LMFBR demonstration plant steam generator is investigated for design and steady state conditions. Although the evaporator and superheater are to be interchangeable, only the steam outlet end of the evaporator is investigated. This was selected because the mean temperature differences between the tubesheets, tubes and connector are largest here at steady state, thus yielding the highest thermal loads. Combined wi… more

Radioactive zinc ( sup 65 Zn), zinc, cadmium, and mercury in the Pacific Hake, Merluccius productus (Ayres), off the West Coast of the United States

Description: The Pacific Hake, Merluccius productus (Ayers) was used to monitor the waters off Puget Sound and the West Coast of the US for zinc(Zn), cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg) and {sup 65}Zn. The Columbia River is not the source of Zn, Cd or Hg contamination, but is the source of {sup 65}Zn, with the concentration in the Hake reflecting the position of the Columbia River plume. Zn and Cd accumulation in the Hake were fit to the equation Y=B{sub 1}+B{sub 2}e{sup B}{sub 3}X where Y is the concentration of the … more

Missing Mass Spectra from p p ---> p X from 9-GeV/c to 300-GeV/c

Description: Missing mass spectra were obtained by measuring recoil protons from the reaction p + p {yields} p + X in the Jacobian peak region at |t| = 0.175 and 0.25 (GeV/c){sup 2}. The incident momentum range from 9 to 300 GeV/c was covered continuously by taking data during the acceleration ramp of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory machine. Our missing mass range varied from 1.5 to 8.5 GeV and we observed the well known N*(1688) and N*(2l90) but no significant structures at higher mass.

Experimental Observation of mu+ mu- Pairs Produced by Very High Energy Neutrinos

Description: The authors have observed two events induced by high energy (> 150 GeV) neutrinos in which two highly penetrating particles (muons) of opposite sign are produced. Both events have a large inelasticity and a massive {mu}-hadron system.

The Reaction pi- p ---> pi- pi+ pi- p at 100-GeV/c

Description: The reaction {pi}{sup -}p {yields} {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} p at 100 GeV/c has been analyzed in terms of effective mass and rapidity variables. It is found to be dominated by two well-separated processes, i.e. the diffractive dissociation of the pion and that of the proton. the Diffractive nature of these processes is confirmed by the weak energy dependence of the cross section for the reaction, which falls like p{sub LAB}{sup -0.25} between 5 and 200 GeV/c. A small class of events is … more

Fractional airborne release of strontium during the combustion of 30 percent normal tributyl phosphate in a kerosine-type diluent

Description: Engineering scale experiments were performed to determine the fractional airborne release of strontium during a fire involving a contaminated, flammable solvent. Earlier laboratory scale experiments using radioactive materials indicated that this release would be one percent or less. Twenty-five grams of strontium as strontium nitrate was added to 150 liters of 30% normal tributyl phosphate in a kerosine diluent, which was then burned in the ARHCO 224-T Fire Test Facility. Temperatures of 1000/… more

Description: Neutron total and elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections of /sup 92/Mo, /sup 96/Mo, /sup 98/Mo and /sup 100/Mo were measured. Neutron total cross sections were determined at intervals of less than or equal to 10 keV from 1.6 to 5.5 MeV with resolutions of approximately 10 keV. Neutron elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections were measured from 1.8 to 4.0 MeV at intervals of 0.2 MeV. Neutron groups corresponding to the excitation of forty states were identified. The experimental … more

A Summary Review of Mound Laboratory's Experience in D & D of Radioactive Facilities 1949-1973

Description: The objective of Mound Laboratory's Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) projects has been the effective termination of radioactive material processing facilities with no significant personnel exposures or environmental releases. This objective must be met with available resources and manpower. Mound has effectively decontaminated and/or decommissioned four major facilities in the 1949 through 1973 time period. Many minor areas were also decontaminated and/or decommissioned during this per… more

Techniques and Facilities for Handling and Packaging Tritiated Liquid Wastes for Burial

Description: Methods and facilities have been developed for the collection, storage, measurement, assay, solidification, and packaging of tritiated liquid wastes (concentrations up to 5 Ci/ml) for disposal by land burial. Tritium losses to the environment from these operations are less than 1 ppm. All operations are performed in an inert gas-purged glovebox system vented to an effluent removal system which permits nearly complete removal of tritium from the exhaust gases prior to their dischardge to the env… more
