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

N-Reactor shutdown for fuel rupture indications - tube 3361

Description: The N-Reactor was shutdown on July 7, 1964, due to fuel rupture indications on tube 3361. The rupture has been confirmed as a failure in the downstream inner fuel element in tube 3361 caused by a pin hole in the weld and braze metal. This document presents a historical record of the rupture indications observed prior to and following the shutdown. The operating history of tube 3361 is compared with an adjacent tube, with no abnormal conditions observed at any time. Reactor temperature and power… more

Laboratory studies of the use of uranium(IV) as a plutonium reductant in a Purex process

Description: This report describes laboratory-scale studies made to evaluate the feasibility of using uranium(IV)-hydrazine instead of ferrous sulfamate-sulfamic acid as the partitioning agent in the Hanford Atomic Products Operation Purex separations plant. Iron(II), in combination with sulfamic acid as a holding reductant, has been used very successfully for many years as a plutonium reductant in solvent extraction separation processes for irradiated nuclear fuels. However, the iron remains in the radioac… more

B, D, F, DR, H reactor new aluminum HCR concept: Temperature study

Description: The horizontal control rods presently installed in the older Hanford Reactors have inadequate heat transfer characteristics for present and predicted future operation of the reactors. Continued graphite stack distortion, coupled with higher graphite temperatures, has resulted in ECR failure during reactor operation, such as swelling of the outer aluminum sheaths to the extent that rod movement in the graphite channel is severely restricted. Continued graphite stack distortion will tend to furth… more

Effects of several EQ fuel loadings on aluminum process tube life

Description: Tube life estimates for the base case and the five study cases are given for 6.6 and 7.0 pH. The fuel sizes and operating conditions for each case are summarized. Information on the mixer position that gives maximum tube life for each case is shown. A tube life distribution was calculated for the base case using the outlet temperature distribution for 1197 central zone tubes at B reactor. Average tube life for the 1197 tubes war estimated to be 3.0 years (100 percent TOE) for operation at 6.6 p… more

Preliminary hazards evaluation for enriched uranium-thoria (E-Q) loading: Hanford IPD reactors

Description: The General Electric Company, as contractor to the AEC at Hanford, is proposing to modify the fuel loading of one or more of the IPD production reactors for the purpose of producing ``clean`` U-232 as a coproduct with plutonium. The isotope, U-233, with low (3-5 ppM) U-232 content, is expected to become a material with important nuclear applications. The IPD reactors are well suited to produce clean U-233. A proposal to produce 200 kg of U-233 for critical experiments for the AEC`s seed-and-bla… more
