Old pile HCR operating temperatures

Description: A study was made to determine operating temperatures of old pile HCR sheaths. The calculations were performed with the aid of a FORTRAN coded program for the IBM 7090. The difficulty of determining the correct value for the contact coefficient between the HCR and the graphite channel at any point in the channel length resulted in performing the calculations in a parametric style. The independent system parameters were varied during the calculations. These parameters are diametral spacing betwee… more

Distribution coefficient data and preliminary estimates of movement of radionuclides, Tatum salt dome, Lamar County, Mississippi. Technical letter: Dribble 31

Description: Estimates are made relating radionuclide movement to ground water velocity as part of the safety program for a proposed experiment to detonate nuclear devices within the Tatum salt dome. The estimates are based on distribution coefficients obtained from laboratory studies. Core samples obtained from hydrologic test well HT-3, Tatum salt dome, Lamar County, Mississippi, were equilibrated with radionuclides in solutions simulating aquifer waters found in the area. The combinations of Cenozoic san… more

Investigation of Vapor Volume Fraction and Slip Velocity Under the Euratom Program. Quarterly Progress Report, July 1-September 30, 1963

Description: A literature survey was performed in order to provide an adequate basis for selecting models for comparison with the data. A computer program was written that allows calculation of void profiles based on an exponential model. A variable exponent is input data for the program, which also computes an integrated average void fraction. After the test section installation was completed, shakedown tests were performed to assure that all equipment was operating properly. All water and all air referenc… more

Calculations on close-coupled processing for Pu-238 recovery

Description: Irradiation of Np-237 in Hanford reactors and recovery of the Pu-238 product in a close-coupled separations plant is currently of interest. Such a concept has the potential of increasing in Pu-238 production rates. The results of initial calculations on the subject are presented herein to aid further study and evaluation. Much of the information is presented in terms of the aqueous target system proposed in earlier work (i.e., irradiation and processing of an aqueous neptunium solution). Howeve… more

Process Simulation on a Digital Computer Using Analog Methods

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "A system has been developed to program a digital computer in much the same manner as an analog computer is programmed. Properties of a general purpose analog computer and a digital differential analyzer are combined to yield a program which employs, as input, standard data cards prepared from a diagram analogous to an analog computer diagram. The capacity of the system is much greater than that of most analog computers, making it applicable to large simulation… more

Spectrophotometric Determination of Perchlorate

Description: Technical report. Form Abstract : "Perchlorate is extracted from aqueous solution by n-butyronitrile as ferrous 1,10-phenanthroline perchlorate. The amount of perchlorate is calculated from spectrophotometric measurement of the absorbance of the extract. Moderate to large amounts of chloride, sulfate, or nitrate cause little or no interference. Chlorate is slightly extracted but the interference can be corrected."

LOW-RADIOACTIVITY-LEVEL WASTE TREATMENT. PART I. LABORATORY DEVELOPMENT OF A SCAVENGING-PRECIPITATION ION-EXCHANGE PROCESS FOR DECONTAMINATION OF PROCESS WATER WASTES

Description: A scavenging-precipitation ion-exchange process using phenolic resins was developed to decontaminate lowradioactivity-level process water waste prior to discharge to the environment. In laboratory and small engineeringscale tests, greater than 99.9% of the cesium and strontium, the principal biological hazards were removed from ORNL low-level waste, and the total activity level was lowered to less than the maximum permissible concentration recommended for populations in the neighborhood of atom… more

NEPTUNIUM RECOVERY AND PURIFICATION AT HANFORD

Description: From American Chemical Society Production Technology of Np-237 and Pu- 238, Denver, Jan. 1964. Neptunium is routinely recovered from irradiated fuel elements at Hanford's two main separation plants. Initial development tests were started in the Purex plant in 1958, then in the Redox plant in 1959, and recently culminated in the installation of new production systems in both plants for improved recoveries. Both recovery flowsheets employ solvent extraction techniques based on the relative extrac… more

Total Neutron Average Cross Sections in the KeV Region and the Optical Model

Description: The average total neutron cross sections for Nb, Mo, Rh, Ag, Cd, and In are measured at 10 to 100 kev, and the values obtained are used to calculate the optical-model parameters of the nuclei. The neutron energies used fall in the region of the P-wave giant resonances in these nuclei. (T.F.H.) 45Z6 The problem of the evolution of the amounts of nuclides during radioactive transformations is resolved according to the classical laws of radioactivity by using systematics in which the nuclides and … more

NOTES ON THE LIQUID-METAL BOILING PHENOMENON

Description: A brief review of boiling for ordinary fluids with emphasis on the wall superheat required for bubble initation from different surfaces at varying pressures is presented. Calculations based on an equation valid for normal fluids indicate that superheats from two to eight times that for water are required to initiate a vapor bubble in some of the alkali metals. The high superheat and the high thermal conductivity peculiar to liquid metals are combined to explain the unstable liquid-metal boiling… more
