Photochemistry of Nucleic Acids, and its Biological Implications

Description: The series of papers that we are about to discuss is primarily concerned, not as the first part of the session title indicates, with photochemistry of nucleic acids, but, as the second part indicates, with the biological implications of the photochemistry. We know that ultraviolet acts on nucleic acids in cells, and we know a good deal about the photochemistry of this interaction in vitro. The question we ask here is, which test tube reactions are of importance to the survival of the cell?

A Simple Quasi Reference Electrode … Applications in Controlled-Potential Polarography and Voltammetry and in Chronopotentiometry

Description: The quasi reference electrode ( Q.R.E. ) is a bright platinum wire or other inert conductor immersed directly in the solution; it may have a very small area. It is used instead of a true reference electrode but must be used with potentiostatic or other circuits that prevent the drawing of cell current through the Q.R. E. When used in appropriate situations, the results obtained by use of a Q.R.E. are like those obtained with a true reference electrode except for the lack of thermodynamic meanin… more

Transition Boiling Heat Transfer Program; Sixth Quarterly Progress Report, April - June 1964

Description: Summary: Transition boiling data was taken with an improved flow loop, to explore the influence of loop characteristics on rod temperature fluctuations the transition region was found to be much smaller than for comparable conditions with a different loop. Also the amplitude, and frequency of the temperature oscillations, were significantly less than before. These results indicate that loop characteristic and flow disturbance parameters play a prominent part in governing the transition tempe… more

UO2 Pellet Thermal Conductivity From Irradiations With Central Melting

Description: Abstract: Continued irradiation experience under the AEC - Euratom, UO2 High Performance Program provided five separate and distinct sets of data on UO2 thermal conductivity. Four of these results are expressed in terms of the value of the thermal conductivity. The first two of these measurements were applicable -- strictly -- to poly crystalline UO2. Recently, three additional sets of measurements have been obtained -- all pertinent to UO2 after the formation of large columnar grains. The … more

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

Technical note on last-ditch cooling of the small Hanford reactors: Part 1, High tanks

Description: A number of tests have been performed and reports issued concerning the adequacy of the last-ditch cooling systems at the Hanford small production reactors. At the present time, re-evaluations are being made, both theoretical and experimental, by process engineers and others at th particular reactor sites. In the interest of uniformity and consistency, this report presents a means of determining the last-ditch cooling adequacy for all the small production reactors. This method includes both the… 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

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

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

Hazards review: N-Reactor 1.25% co-producer fuel element test

Description: The N-Reactor Hazard Summary Report examines the hazard from operating the N-Reactor with a uniform fuel loading enriched to 0.947% U{sup 235}. Incentives have been developed for reactor testing of a block of 49 tubes loaded with co-producer elements, i.e. elements capable of producing both weapons grade plutonium and tritium. The element utilizes an outer fuel tube enriched to 1.25% U{sup 235} with an inner target lithium-aluminum rod. Criteria have been developed to guide the evaluation of sa… more

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.

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.
