Production test IP-665-A, evaluation of hot-die-sized end bonding processes

Description: Investigations of possible operational limitations of the ALSi bonded e elements and the need for a replacement or alternate fuel fabrication process have been lender way for several years. Recently, one fuel manufacturing process, hot-die-sized diffusion bonding, has been intensely examined and irradiation testing of this new fuel type began in 1963. This production test is one additional step in evaluating the new fuel fabrication process. The objective of this test is to evaluate the effect … more

N-Reactor fuel development pp. 51 through 57, HW-80908

Description: The imminent use of pressurized water-cooled, metallic uranium fuel elements on a large scale in the N-Reactor not only represents an extrapolation from previous Hanford fuel technology, it represents the only production-scale application of this concept in this country or abroad. Provision of a supporting technology is and will continue to be a major activity at Hanford as only a limited amount of directly applicable R&D will be available from other sites. The major benefit to be achieved thro… more

KER-2 operating report test K-2-17, PT IP-484-D

Description: Purpose of this test was to evaluate the behavior of LiAl elements at N-Reactor operating conditions. The test was made to determine the swelling rate of the LiAl alloy, effect of irradiation on mass transport of lithium and tritium in the target assembly, and effect of Al surface treatment on transport of lithium and tritium.

New burnout correlation for annuli

Description: A number of burnout tests have been run subsequent to the publication of the burnout equations in DP-355 and DP-725. The range of variables was extended in these tests and the burnout heat flux was measured. This memorandum presents a modified empirical equation, which correlates the new data, for use in the design of fuel assemblies for the HWCTR. We expect to submit this material for a journal publication within the next quarter.

Operation of the Sodium Technology Loop for Contamination Meter Evaluations

Description: The Blake Rhometer operating range was extended from 600 to 1000 deg F and a variable-orifice plugging meter was developed. Both instruments were evaluated in the Atomic Power Development Associates Scdium Technology Loop against weighed or metered contaminants. The loop injection series included: water, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane gases; and tea bag injections of sodium carbonate, sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, and sodium monoxide. Cover gas was monitored and temp… more

N-Reactor Department Research and Development budget for FY 1966 and revision of budget for FY 1965

Description: The N-Reactor Department Research and Development Program for FY 1965, 1966, and later years is structured to achieve the following general goals. (1) Assurance of a high level of nuclear safety; (2) Assurance of achieving full plant life; (3) Reduction in operating costs for a given production rate; (4) Increase in production rate without proportionate increase in operating costs; (5) Savings in capital outlays necessary to achieve stated reductions in operating cost or increases in production… more

A Fixed Filter Paper Alpha Air Monitor

Description: An instrument has been developed for the detection of uranium dust in the atmosphere. The principle feature of this device is its ability to indicate a gross release of alpha radiation within a few minutes of its occurrence. The unit will sound an alarm when either the indicated level or the rate of increase exceeds preset values above normal background variations. (auth)
