Conoseal Bar-X Seal Tests

Description: On the NRX-A reactors the instrument ports are sealed by a Bar-X seal. Damage to the ports, which are part of the pressure vessel, required machining on the pressure vessel. A new design, using a Marman flanged piece to house the Bar-X seal port separate from the pressure vessel, was proposed. The test program was to determine the torque required to seal and the ability of each seal to hold during thermal shock.

Production test IP-734, HAPO 309: High core temperature capsules in the KW Snout facility, Series 2

Description: The objective of the production test detailed in this report is to continue a program started under Production Test IP-690; the major change is an increase in sample enrichment. The higher enrichment is required to increase the portion of the fuel element core which is molten. This test will provide data to correlate maximum fuel temperature with post-irradiation microstructure, and data that are required to study the kinetics of fuel redistribution during the time interval between insertion of… more

Thermal shield cooling tube surveillance: B, C, D, and K Reactors

Description: The top thermal shields of the Hanford reactors were formed by placing single layers of large cast iron blocks on the top of the graphite stacks. Accumulative distortion of the graphite stack is causing several inches of variation in the elevation of the originally level top thermal shields. The integrity of the top thermal shield cooling tubes is of concern because of the high axial and bending stresses they are subjected to from the shield variations in addition to the normal service conditio… more

105-F intermediate range test hole parameters

Description: This report discusses 105 intermediate range test hole which was bored in 105-F to demonstrate reactor hole boring techniques. This test hole was then utilized to determine the performance of neutron sensitive gamma compensated ion chambers (CIC), the effectiveness of epoxy reactor shield plug designs, the compatability of the prototype.components intermediate range instrumentation, and demonstrate the performance of an intermediate range monitor system on a typical Hanford reactor application.… more

The Determination of Trace Residues on Metal Surfaces

Description: Analytical methods have been developed to characterize or identify residues removed from metal surfaces. The results are quantitative for several compounds; such as, certain hydrocarbons, inorganic chlorides, water, and amine hydrochlorides. Solvents are used directly as surface rinsing agents or to rinse cold traps used on high vacuum cleaning systems. A method of determining water in halogenated solvents in the near infrared region is also reported. A unique method of drying the reference sol… more
