Design and fabrication of target elements for PT-645-D

Description: Target elements were designed and built to fit into 1.25% U{sup 235} driver elements. These targets had an aluminum -- 0.583% lithium alloy core enriched to 63.5% in Li. The targets had a coextruded aluminum jacket as a tritium barrier and a Zircaloy jacket as a corrosion barrier to the 300 C reactor water.

Uranium burnout values

Description: Attached is the interpolated uranium burnout values for .570% through 3.000% U-235. Due to increasing interest in higher U-235 values, this document was issued to replace HW-77929 which contained values to 1.519% U-235. The source data was based on the Reactor Cost Studies burnout schedule obtained from Washington -- AEC.

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

Axial flux data for fuel measurement

Description: A survey of the PITA-18 nonpoisonous spline program was conducted in conjunction with a study to determine the best method of eliminating the variability of axial flux on the fuel performance parameter, q. The results of this survey and the conclusions reached in the rupture coefficient study were found to be inter-dependent such that both are presented in this report. The data from the PITA-18 nonpoisonous spline program, as received, is the output of the NOLA-2 computer program. One quantity … more

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

Modified tubular support patterns: Ribbed and ribless process tubes

Description: Reactor support charge designs and patterns have been numerous and varied over the past few years, the basis for acceptance of a particular support loading being determined from a consideration of fabrication costs and the hydraulic characteristics of the proposed dummy load as it applies to a particular reactor. Since the first three or four dummy pieces downstream of the fuel column (and upstream of the column in a spline tube) are discarded after the irradiation process, it is desirable to u… more

End closure of hot die size diffusion bonded fuel elements

Description: Studies initiated at Hanford in 1961 for the purpose of developing an alternate cladding process for I&D fuel elements for the eight existing production reactors indicated that the hot die sizing diffusion bonding process offered the greatest incentive. Hot die sizing was the most attractive with respect to improved fuel quality and potential reduction in fuel element unit cost when compared to the existing AlSi brazing process. Initial development work consisted of determining optimum process … more

Effects of Hanford Operations on Columbia River temperatures: Interim report No. 2

Description: A research and development project for study of the effects of reactor effluent on Columbia River water quality is being sponsored by the AEC Division of Production. Work was started in October 1962, the first effort being aimed at furnishing an immediate answer to a security question: how closely can Hanford production be estimated by measurement of river temperatures? An interim progress report gave the results of the preliminary investigation. During the calendar year 1963, the study was exp… more

241-SX tank farm waste storage

Description: Salt wastes from the Redox solvent extraction process have been routed to the 241-SX tank farm for storage since May 21, 1954. Tanks in this farm contain wastes from three types of irradiated uranium processing: (1) low (approximately 250 MWD/T) and (2) high (approximately 600 MWD/T) natural uranium; and (3) E-metal. It is estimated that approximately 1.6 Kgs of Am-Cm, 17 Kgs of Np-237, 20 Kgs of Pu and 8 tons of uranium are present in the sludges from wastes generated through 4-30-64. A total … more

PT IP-603-I, Evaluation of accidental fuel flushing potential D-DR reactors. Final report

Description: The purpose of Production Test IP-603-I described in this report was to obtain data to help determine if uranium I&E fuel can be flused from tubes set up for discharge on a valved down corssheader by raising the front riser pressure.
