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

Neptunium-237 production forecasts, IPD 1964--73

Description: Neptunium-237 production has been-calculated according to the equations documented in Reference 1 for use in 1964-AEC study. cases. The assumptions made in the forecasts are as follows: Only the 947 stream is recycled. The blend enrichment for the recycle maternal is 1.2 per cent for F-Y 64 and 65. For FY 66 -73, a blend enrichment of 1.4 per cent is assumed which is better value according to the optimization model of C. W. Showalter. The 947 stream recycle time is two years.

Production test IP-695-AC thorium oxide irradiation -- K Reactors

Description: Irradiation of thorium for the production of ``clean`` U-233 at HAPO began in CY 1963. Several small-scale tests, involving from gram-size quantities up to a few elements, were successfully conducted; the results from these tests, coupled with theoretical predictions, indicated the desirability of further investigation. The objectives of this test are to (1) authorize the irradiation of about two tons of thorium oxide target elements in central zone process tubes of KE Reactor, (2) determine th… 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

Phantom Gage Dimensioning (Combined Part/Gage specifications)

Description: Abstract: This memorandum discusses a new design definition technique, requiring no standard, which pictorially shows part and gage limits on the same drawing. When functional gages, test fixtures, or optical chart gages are the selected inspection method, design, manufacturing process, and gage engineers can use these drawings directly to replace the usual standards-based drawings. In essence, this advanced technology visually describes true position dimensioning and tolerancing. It enables pr… more

Production Test IP-684-A, hot-die-sized parameters evaluation

Description: The hot-die-sized concept has been under investigation as an alternate manufacturing process for several years. Irradiation testing of the elements began in mid 1963. Some dimensional behavior problems were encountered with the fuel and a test is now being irradiated which may provide sufficient data to remedy the situation. Pre-irradiation examination of fuel elements has shown a significant dimensional change of the cores during the fabrication process, and this dimensional change is thought … more

An evaluation of the experimental determination of the effects of burnout and corrosion on spline worth

Description: Efforts have been made to experimentally evaluate and to calculate the effect of reactor environment on splines. This report follows some of these efforts and relates them to operational experience. The use of splines in the Hanford Reactors has improved the efficiency and ease of operating the reactors. With the widespread use of splines, it is important to know the effect of reactor exposure to safely and efficiently use the splines in reactor operation.
