Single tube meltdown incident

Description: In connection with design of rear face fittings for the plant-expansion study currently being conducted we have been asked to determine if rear face pressurization is required for safety reasons and if so, how much. Pressurization of the rear face piping would be used to provide sufficient reverse flow to prevent process tube burnout in the event of complete loss of coolant supply to a single tube by virtus of a front connector failure. Consideration of the effectiveness of rear face pressuriza… more

EN-318 evaluation of slow warm-up through special test of MC-890 type power supplies

Description: ESE-171: This EN run was made to determine if there is any relationship between the H-5 transistor electrical characteristics, the assembly processes, and slow warm-up of the MC-890 Power Supply. Included is the test data on the H-5 transistors and the results of the High Temperature Life Test (185 {degrees}F) of 380 MC-890 Power Supplies.

Cathode brazing control for GEXF

Description: As a result of repeated epidemic losses of brazed cathodes at GEXF, the engineering work necessary to determine the best brazing cycle and the controls necessary to insure reproducibility and high yields in the future was carried out by means of EN-297. Included are the procedures used and the tests made to verify the conclusions drawn and the recommendations made.

Graphite burnout, interim report on IP-25-A (PT-105-532-E)

Description: Graphite reacts with such gases as CO{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, or water vapor to form gaseous oxides of carbon. In the case of CO{sub 2}-graphite interaction, the reaction rate is not significant until about 550 C. Water oxidizes graphite, very roughly, three times faster than CO{sub 2}. Air will oxidize graphite appreciably at temperatures below 500 C. Graphite removal from Hanford reactors is very important, since graphite is used both as a structural support and a moderator for neutrons. Griggs has… more

EEN-307, Irradiation of units at low temperature test

Description: EWR-ESE-144, Fifty MC-890 type final assemblies were subjected to irradiation at low temperature test in order to determine if irradiation would reduce the frequency of high voltage breakdowns. A control lot of a like number of units was subjected to low temperature test in the same manner except without irradiation.

EEN-333, revised getter flash procedure

Description: EWR No. VTE-188--Tubes processed by flashing getters immediately prior to seal-off from vacuum systems are compared for total residual gas pressure to tubes processed by flashing getters after tubes were sealed off vacuum systems. Comparisons of residual pressures determined from current flows in the cold cathode ion gauge.

LRL background measurements program for ICBM discrimination

Description: Several proposals have been made for discriminating between Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) and decoys. Primary fundamental particles or high energy electromagnetic radiation can be scattered from or can activate the targets. The secondary radiation is observed by directional detectors that are positioned close-by and the information is transmitted to control centers on the ground. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory proposes a program for measurements of the natural space radiations. Even… more

Report on 8-inch isostatic press explosion at Site 300

Description: On 3 March 1960 at 11:30 a.m. a detonation occurred in the 8-inch isostatic press. The press and building were completely destroyed. Operating personnel were protected and no injuries resulted. Adjacent facilities were not affected. The press was housed in a temporary facility located in the southwest portion of Section 26, Site 300. The facility was situated approximately 1000 feet west of the main site road, and 1400 feet north of the county road. The press building was of frangible wood cons… more

SRP radioactive waste releases. Startup through 1959

Description: This report summarizes and documents radioactive waste released to the environs of the Savannah River Plant from startup through 1959. During this period, the quantity of beta-emitting radioisotopes released was determined by a total or ``gross`` analysis. However, advanced instrumentation and technology now permit an economical determination of most individual radionuclides. Therefore, future waste audit reports, beginning with January 1960, will record the quantity of specific radioisotopes r… more

Evaluation of reduction of I.D. defects in I and E tubing with various billet I.D.: Experiment Number U-11

Description: It has been thoroughly documented in previous Bridgeport Brass Company reports that a problem exists in the production of HAPO I and E ``O`` size slugs via the extrusion route due to an excessive number of rejects for I.D. seams. As a result of a previous short-run experiments, it was suggested that smaller I.D. billets be employed, thus reducing the reduction ratio on the I.D. It was thought that this factor may contribute to the seam formation in the extreme flow demanded of the metal. It was… more

Appendix 8, Decay of Cerium-144

Description: As part of an earlier program of investigation in this laboratory, studies were made of the gamma ray spectrum and the beta ray spectrum of cerium-144. In the present work, seme coincidence studies were made on one of the beta groups appearing in the cerium-144 decay and on the gamma rays appearing in the deexcitations from the energy levels of praseodymium-144. Sources of cerium-144 were prepared frcm carrier free radioactive cerium-144 as supplied by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The sam… more
