Use of reactor effluent water as steam plant boiler feed

Description: The radiological aspects of a proposal to recover some of the heat now wasted in cooling water from the Hanford reactors by using the hot water as boiler feed for the steam plants in the 100 Areas are evaluated. The radioactive material in the hot effluent water will contaminate the boiler feed water system, cause additional radiation exposure of personnel, and increase the cost of maintenance and radiation protection, but very little radioactive material will be carried over into the steam sys… more

The Reaction Between Hydrogen and Oxygen by Catalysis and the Thermal Reaction

Description: From abstract: "The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen with the aid of various catalysts (especially platinum on aluminua) has been studied, and the operating variables such as flow rates, space velocity, temperature, and gas composition have been examined rather extensively. It has been found that hydrogen and oxygen in stoichiometric proportions and mixed with either steam or helium may be made to react to the extent of 99.5% or greater at space velocities up to 30,000 hr-1, or even higher,… more

Tentative design basis new 100 Area water plant embodying a close cooling water circuit

Description: The attached document includes a plot plan, flow diagram and delineation of basic assumptions upon which the report was developed. It summarizes the work which has been accomplished to date under RDA No. DC-6 in developing a recirculating water system to serve a new reactor. In order to proceed with the work under RDA No. DC-6 it has been necessary to make certain basic assumptions relative to the primary circuit requirements of RDA No. DC-3. These assumptions are explained in the report and ar… more

Report on decreasing available acceleration of 190-B process pump turbines in order to reduce emergency steam demand

Description: As originally installed, the primary process pump turbines in 190-B were arranged to accelerate considerably upon loss of BPA electric power supply to the Process Pump House. However, the acceleration comes too late to be of value in maintaining top of riser pressure within the first second or two, and the acceleration results only in maintaining final process water pressure and flow at values higher than needed. It is desired to limit the acceleration of the turbines to a relatively small amou… more

C-431 B -- Scope document

Description: This document describes the scope of the C-431-B Reactor Production Facility. In dealing with the broad phases of the project, it includes the Sections ``A`` (Scope Modifications) of the approved Design Criteria, modified to ensure correctness to date. Location of the facility has been set as shown on the site map in HDC-2101, designated site number one. Included in Project C-431-B are the 105-C Building, including within that building facilities previously located in the 1608 Building, a conta… more

General Electric Company Hanford Works, Project C-431-A Production Facility-Section A, design report

Description: The 100-C project is to be located adjacent to the present 100-B Area. It is planned to build an addition to the present 181-B river pump house using the same elevations for pump settings, intakes, and floors as for the present pump house, thus maintaining the same suction conditions and flood protection as B Area. The 105 Building will be located on higher ground than B Area and therefore, protection against possible flood damage is assured. This report is divided into the following sections: … more

100-N temporary construction line considerations

Description: Present thinking and planning appears to be developing from the following factors as concern the 13.8 KV temporary construction power limit. 1. It is understood that the present intent is to supply 100-N operating requirements from a single stub source in the 230 KV loop. 2. The original thoughts were to obtain construction power over a 13.8 KV line from 151-D substation. 3. Construction load requirements are now less than originally planned since steam has been substituted for electrical drive… more

Savannah River Plant, Project 8980: Engineering and design history of power and electrical facilities. Volume 6

Description: This section of the Engineering-and Design History presents a comprehensive account of the planning and extensive evaluation of the problems involved in reaching basic decisions for the design and installation of power facilities at the Savannah River Plant. The problems were complicated by the urgency of Pro. viding early start-up of facilities at a time when critical material shortages were acute, combined with basic requirements for reliable operation and unusual degrees of flexibility to me… more

Power Transfer Functions of the EBWR Obtained Using a Sinusoidal Reactivity Driving Function

Description: A series of reactor frequency response measurements, relating flux or power level to a reactivity input function, were made to evaluate reactor stability for different values of power parameters. These parameters included: power level, steam pressure, and control rod position. The results were extrapolated to predict EBWR stability at higher operating powers. The experimental data may also be used to evaluate the thermodynamic and hydraulic constants. (authl

THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF SEVERAL ALLOYS IN AN HF-H$sub 2$O ATMOSPHERE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

Description: Tests indicate that of the various alloys tssted for corrosion resistance when exposed 10 an HF-HP atmosphere at 1070 F, the Cr-Ni alloys, as a group, give the best corrosion resistance where strength at high temperature is desired. Other alloys have given excellent results but the lack of strength at the higher temperatures or cost, is against their use in production equipment. (auth)

The Sodium Hydroxide-Sodium Oxide-Sodium-Sodium Hydride-Hydrogen System

Description: Sodium hydride dissolves in and reacts with molten NaOH to give an equilibrium mixture of NaH, NaOH, Na/sub 2/O, Na, and H. In the case where there is a gaseous phase (hydrogen) and only one condensed phase, the system is defined by the temperature, pressure, and one composition variable. The equilibriu, H/ sub 2/ pressure, which is a measure of the H/sub 2/ activity within the melt, was determined as a function of the composition of the condensed phase(s) at 600, 700, and 500 deg for equilibri… more

Sizes of U. S. Steam-Electric Plants

Description: At the present time, plants in the 100 to 500 Mw size range are more numerous and carry the greatest portion (over 50%) of the total steam-electric plant load in the US utillties industry. The contribution of plants of over 1,000-Mw capacity is increasing more rapidly than any other size classification and at present represents about 10% of the total capacity. By 1962 the TVA will have six plants with capacities of over 1,000-Mw. The largest steam-electric plant in the US is the TVA plant at Ki… more
