(HFR-B1 experiment reporting and capsule disassembly)

Description: The traveler visited the Joint Research Centre (JRC), Petten, The Netherlands, the Forschungszentrum GmbH (KFA), Juelich, Germany; and the Zentralinstitut fuer Kernforschung (ZfK), Rossendorf, Germany, during the period January 28 through February 9. At JRC, the analysis of the experiment HFR-B1 was discussed; a new schedule for issuance of the final data report was established. Other discussions at JRC concerned the capabilities of Petten to conduct two reactor experiments being proposed under… more

Final report on program for using X-8001 aluminum alloy cladding material for Hanford fuel elements: PT-IP-43-A-84-MT, IP-80-A-91-FP and IP-2-I-99-FP

Description: Use of X-8001 Al alloy as cladding for Hanford reactors was initiated because of superior (laboratory) resistance to intergranular corrosion over that of C-64 alloy. However, since severe pitting attack was observed intermittently, an evaluation was carried out on X-8001 alloy fuel element cladding.

Multi-Phase Cr-Based Alloys for Aggressive High Temperature Environments

Description: The objective of this work is to develop and characterize a new family of Cr-based alloys for structural use in aggressive 900-1300 C corrosion environments. The potential advantages of Cr are high melting point, moderate density, and good high-temperature corrosion resistance in many environments [1]. However, these are currently negated by inadequate high-temperature strength, ambient-temperature brittleness, and susceptibility to environmental embrittlement at elevated-temperatures by rapid … more

High-temperature corrosion in power-generating systems.

Description: Several technologies are being developed to convert coal into clean fuel for use in power generation. From the standpoint of component materials in these technologies, the environments created by coal conversion and their interactions with materials are of interest. Coal is a complex and relatively dirty fuel that contains varying amounts of sulfur and a substantial fraction of noncombustible mineral constituents, commonly called ash. Corrosion of metallic and ceramic structural materials is a … more

Mercury Removal Performance of Amberlite(TM) GT-73A, Purolite(TM) S-920, Ionac(TM) SR-4 and SIR-200(TM) Resins

Description: Testing looked at the mercury removal performance of various resins: Amberlite(TM) GT-73A from Rohn and Haas, Purolite(TM) S-920 from Bro-Tech Corporation, Ionac(TM) SR-4 from Sybron Chemicals, and SIR-200(TM) from Resin Tech. Larger than explained variations from the SIR-200(TM) testing is due to one data point being one order of magnitude larger than the rest of the data. Analysis in another lab verified the accuracy of this data point. Additional studies must address the chemical stability o… more

Insulating Structural Ceramics Program, Final Report

Description: New materials and corresponding manufacturing processes are likely candidates for diesel engine components as society and customers demand lower emission engines without sacrificing power and fuel efficiency. Strategies for improving thermal efficiency directly compete with methodologies for reducing emissions, and so the technical challenge becomes an optimization of controlling parameters to achieve both goals. Approaches being considered to increase overall thermal efficiency are to insulate… more

Metallurgical evaluation of recycled stainless steel

Description: Recycled Type 304 stainless steel from both Carolina Metals Inc. (CMI) and Manufacturing Science Corporation (MSC) met all the requirements of ASTM A-240 required by Procurement Specification G-SPP-K-00005 Rev. 4. Mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of the material are adequate for service as burial boxes, overpacks, and drums. Inclusion content of both manufacturer`s material was high, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the corrosion resistance. Therefore, an evaluation of the s… more

POLYETHYLENE ENCAPSULATION.

Description: Polyethylene microencapsulation physically homogenizes and incorporates mixed waste particles within a molten polymer matrix, forming a solidified final waste form upon cooling. Each individual particle of waste is embedded within the polymer block and is surrounded by a durable, leach-resistant coating. The process has been successfully applied for the treatment of a broad range of mixed wastes, including evaporator concentrate salts, soil, sludges, incinerator ash, off-gas blowdown solutions,… more

Corrosion performance of iron aluminides in single- and multioxidant environments.

Description: Iron aluminide intermetallics are being developed for use as structural materials and/or as cladding for conventional engineering alloys. In addition to their strength advantages, these materials exhibit excellent resistance to corrosion in single- and multioxidant environments at elevated temperatures through the formation of slow-growing, adherent alumina scales. Even though these intermetallics develop protective oxide scales in single-oxidant environments, the simultaneous presence of sever… more

Project W-236A multi-function waste tank facility waste feed projections

Description: A review of Hanford Underground Waste Storage Tank Chemistry, coupled with planned remediation actions and retrieval sequences was conducted in order to predict the chemistry of the waste to be stored in the MWTF tanks. All projected waste solutions to be transferred to the MWTF tanks were found to be in compliance with current tank chemistry specifications; therefore, the waste and the tank materials of construction are expected to be compatible.
