14-Inch Swing Check Valve Test

Description: The check valve for the Hallam Power Reactor uses a knife-edge bearing for the flapper in place of the usual journal-type bearing. Mechanical cycling in sodium at 600 deg F was used to check operation of this bearing. A total of 309 mechanical cycles was completed with no apparent malfunctioning of the valve. Measured leskage rates were 0.46 gpm at 0.93 psig, 0.73 gpm at 3.4 psig. and 0.32 gpm at 5.9 psig. (M.C.G.)

100-K Area electrical power system load and voltage study for project CG-775. Revision

Description: The proposed increased water capacity for 100-K plants will increase the electrical load to be supplied. The load study showed that the capacity of the existing 13.8 kV system is adequate to carry the increased loads proposed for Project CG-775, while for the 5 kV system, an expanded power system is proposed. Likewise, the voltage regulation on the kV system bus will be excessive, and voltage regulators should be added.

Anion Exchange Recovery of Plutonium From Reduction Residues

Description: An anion exchange process was demonstrated for the recovery of Pu from waste produced in the reduction of Pu salts to the metal. Pu in a highiy salted 6M nitric acid solution, derived from the dissolution of slag and crucible waste, was separated from impurities by absorbing the Pu(IV) nitrate complex on the anion exchange resin and subsequentiy eluting with dilute nitric acid. A flowsheet for plant operation is presented. (auth)

Anion Exchange Recovery of Plutonium From Reduction Residues

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "An anion exchange process was demonstrated for the recovery of plutonium from waste produced in the reduction of plutonium salts to the metal. Plutonium in a highly salted 6M nitric acid solution derived from the dissolution of slag and crucible waste was separated from impurities by absorbing the Pu (IV) nitrate complex on the anion exchange resin and subsequently eluting with nitric acid. A flowsheet for plant operation is presented."

Attempts to Delineate Inborn Anemias in Mice. Progress Report and Fifth Renewal Proposal, Report Period: January 10, 1959-January 31, 1960. Renewal Period: May 1, 1960-April 30, 1961

Description: During the past year, three papers covering results of a major series of experiments on intergenotype of blood-forming tissue have appeared, demonstrating successful implantation of isologues normal cells in anemic hosts, permanently correcting their genetic defect in hematopoiesis, both with and without irradiation of the host. Heavy host irradiation was shown ineffective as preparations for implantation of homologous cells of widely different antigenic types.

Calculation of Temperature Rise in Deeply Buried Radioactive Cylinders

Description: Temperatures were calculated relative to the storage of radioactive solid waste as a function of time and radial distance for radioactive solid cylinders in infinite solid media of "average soil," "average rock," and salt. A resistance at the cylinder--infinite medium boundary was included in the form of an air space. For the range of parameters used and withia the practical limits of accuracy, the maximum temperature rise increased linearly with the heat generation rate. The fission product sp… more

The Catalysis of the Hydrogen-Oxygen Reaction by Aqueous Slurries of Thorium Oxide and Thorium-Uranium Oxide

Description: Aqueous slurries of thorium oxide and thorium oxide containing urarium were investigated for their catalytic activity for the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water. Pure thorium oxide. thorium-uranium oxide mixed crystals prepared by calcining coprecipitated oxalates, and thorium oxide with uranium oxide sorbed on the surface were used after calcining at 650, 800, and 1000 deg . The reaction rates were found to be first order with respect to hydrogen pressure and zero order with respect… more

CHANGE OF KEWB REACTOR CORES-EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANCE WITH REGARD TO ASSOCIATED HAZARDS

Description: The KEWB Facility is described, and an over-all technical evaluation is made of the hazards associated with changing from a spherical to a cylindrical core. The characteristics of the two systems, the operation and emergency procedures, a brief history of the program, a summary of the data obtained, and maximum accident analyses are given. The conclusion is that the core change does not represent an adverse change with respect to associated hazards. (T.R.H.)

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMARY REPORT FOR OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER 1959

Description: Chemical-Metallurgical Processing. A direct-cycle pyrometallurgical fuel-processing plant is being constructed in conjunction with EBR-II. The gamma- irradiation testing of the 175-watt white fluorescent mercury vapor lamp was continued to an integrated exposure of 2 x 10/sup 9/ rad. Irradiation tests of Shell APL grease were completed, and the estimated useful life of this grease in the Air and Argon Cells is 2 and 3 years, respectively. Tests of the three - types of d-c motors used in the ope… more

Chemistry Division Semiannual Report June through November1959

Description: High-energy studies of the (p, 2p) reaction in Zn{sup 68} and Fe{sup 57} are being carried out. The excitation functions for the reactions, Zn{sup 68}(p, 2p)Cu{sup 67} and Fe{sup 57} (p, 2p)Mn{sup 56} are being measured from 400 Mev to 6.2 Bev. Preliminary results are shown in Table 1. The cross sections are calculated on the basis of a 10.7-mb cross section for the Al{sup 27} (p, 3pn)Na{sup 24} reaction used to monitor the proton beam. The yield of Mn{sup 52} from proton bombardments of natura… more

Description: Further studies are reported on the analytical behavior and experimental testing of Cs/sup 137/ plaque irradiator designs. Low-level sources used for the initial experiments consisted of about 7 mc of Cs/sup 137/ aqueous solution in brass trays 20 by 20 by 1/2 in. high having wall thicknesses of 1/16 in. Calibration tests were made preliminary to radiation field mapping. (T.R. H.)
