An evaluation of simple iron-water radiation shields and radiation measurements within concrete-lined and -capped pits

Description: Program 3 of Operation BREN consisted in a study of the performance of biological shields composed of various arrangements of steel, water, and borated polyethylene in spherical, cubical, and parallelepipedal geometries. Studies were also made of the radiation levels within concrete-lined and -capped pits, 4 ft in dia and 8 ft deep. The principal radiation source was the ORNL Health Physics Research Reactor, an unshielded, unreflected, 90 wt % U-10 wt % Mo, cylindrical bare-metal assembly. It w… more

Precipitation of cerium sulfate

Description: Cerium sulfate purified by D2EHPA in Semiworks can be precipitated by adjusting pH to between 1 and 2 in tank 6 with 50% caustic. The solution can then be transferred through tank 1 to tank 67, where sodium bisulfate is added to make the solution 0.5M sulfate. A stoichiometric amount (mole for mole) of 50% caustic is added to just neutralize the sodium bisulfate. The precipitate is digested one hour at 60 C, then filtered.

Irradiated Fuel Age Determination Study

Description: The release of uncontrollable quantities of harmful fission products such as I{sub 131} upon processing areas. At present this is done by procedural techniques using cards, filing techniques, and cross checks. These methods are entirely independent of the characteristics of the fuel itself and are subject to failure from human error. It is therefore advantageous to find a method of determining the age of irradiated fuel after discharge from the properties of the fuel. Such a method, with its re… more

Fission product ratios of the Purex filter

Description: This report details measurements of fission product ratios which were made an various samples of the Purex canyon exhaust filter to determine the manner and time interval in which the filter became plugged vith foreign material. Results for samples from different levels within the filter bed were compared to investigate accumulation as a function of depth. Strontium-89/strontium-90, Zr-95/Ca-137, Ru-103/Ru-106, and Ce-141/Ce. Pr-144, ratios were determined. These were compared to a constant rat… more

Reactivity measurements of various target elements

Description: The amount of enriched uranium to support various type of target elements was determined in the Hanford Test Reactor. This report describes the measurement of separate and striped loadings for canned thorium oxide, bismuth, lithium-aluminum, and, in addition, bare depleted uranium. This experiment was undertaken to provide information needed to estimate the E-metal requirements in a production reactor when replacing natural uranium with target material. The amount of enriched uranium which is r… more
