Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at the separations facilities through December, 1966

Description: This document summarizes the amounts of radioactive contamination discharged to ground from chemical separations and laboratory facilities through December, 1966. Detailed data for individual disposal sites are presented on a month-to-month basis for the period of January through December, 1966. Previous publications of this series are listed in the bibliography and may be referred to for specific information on measurements and radioactivity totals prior to January, 1966. Several changes in cr… more

Thermal mapping of the Columbia River at Hanford using an infrared imaging system

Description: The infrared imagery data was collected September 13, 1966 from 1010--1013 o`clock, using a mercury-doped germanium detector which was filtered to respond to wave lengths of infrared radiation. The magnetic-tape recorded information was processed with a computer program to obtain quantitative evaluations of river temperature variations and to accurately define surface temperature patterns resulting from the discharge of reactor effluents into the river. The river surface-temperature information… more

Ernest Orlando Lawrence

Description: In his relatively short life of 57 years, Ernest Orlando Lawrence accomplished more than one might believe possible in a life twice as long. The important ingredients of his success were native ingenuity and basic good judgement in science, great stamina, an enthusiastic and outgoing personality, and a sense of integrity that was overwhelming. Many articles on the life and accomplishments of Ernest Lawrence have been published, and George Herbert Childs has written a book-length biography. This… more

A Technique for Delineating Subsurface Fracture Zones Resulting from High-Yield Detonations

Description: From summary: Site investigations were conducted at two locations, the sites of the DUGOUT and CHARLIE events, at the Nevada Test Site for the purpose of evaluating the dynamic in situ technique as a means of determining the boundaries of craters produced by explosive detonations.

Field evaluation of ground disposal of reactor effluent: 1301-N crib

Description: The minimum travel time of 79 days observed for /sup 3/H at the point of maximum flow along the riverbank spring-front gives a minimum decay time that can be also applied to other radioisotopes discharged to the crib. Actual travel times of isotopes discharged to the site are dependent on the interaction of the isotopes with the sediments (ion-exchange, chemical, adsorption, etc.). A travel time of 101 days observed for /sup 131/I is an indication of the dependence of actual migration rates on … more

Fabrication of fuel rods containing /sup 233/U pelletized oxide fuels (LWBR Development Program)

Description: Approximately 13 kg of U-233 were fabricated into 1 wt % UO/sub 2/-ThO/sub 2/ and 26 wt % UO/sub 2/-ZrO/sub 2/ pellets and enclosed in Zircaloy-2 cladding tubes as 1299 blanket and 377 seed rods. The U-233 contained 38 ppM of U-232, and was purified as two batches of liquid UO/sub 2/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ immediately prior to processing into powder form. All fuel rods were completed within 95 days of this initial solvent extraction of the nitrate. Overall U yield of nitrate to usable materials was … more
