A Fuel Reprocessing Plant for Fast Ceramic Reactors

Description: A study was made of the adaptation of the HAPO anion exchange process to the reprocessing of Fast Ceramic Reactor (FCR) fuel using the Idaho Small Plant Concept. It is shown that the anion exchange flowsheet meets the reprocessing objectives of the FCR case and can be adequately accommodated in the Small Plant Concept. Capacities of up to 1550 Md(e) are feasible in the Small Plant and unit reprocessing costs range from 0.14 to 0.28 mills/kwh depending on the number of reactors to be processed. … more

STAINLESS STEEL WASTES. III. LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE RATE OF REMOVAL OF STAINLESS STEEL IONS BY MERCURY CATHODE ELECTROLYSIS

Description: ABS> The removal rates of iron, nickel, and chromium from synthetic stainless steel waste solutions during electrolysis over a mercury cathode were studied. The loading capacity of the mercury for the stainless steel metals was estimated on the basis of laboratory experiments to be about two% by weight. The laboratory data indicated that, at an electrode potential of --1.80 voits vs S.C.E., 85 ampere-hours per liter of waste removed essentially all of the stainless steel ions from a sulfuric ac… more

THE DISTORTED-WAVE THEORY OF DIRECT NUCLEAR REACTIONS. I. "ZERO-RANGE" FORMALISM WITHOUT SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING, AND THE CODE SALLY

Description: The distorted-wave theory of direct nuclear reactions is presented in a unified manner, in which the effects of assuming various reaction mechanisms and nuclear models appear only in certain radial form factors. The zero-range approximation is used, and spin-orbit coupling is neglected in the distorted waves. Formulas are given for transition amplitudes, cross sections, and polarizations. A description is given of the IBM-704 computer code SALLY that is based on these formulas. (auth)

Numerical results of PT IP-412-AI, B and C reactors export system test

Description: The purpose of this document is to present the numerical results of a production test of the last ditch water backup system performed at B and C reactors on December 15, 1961. The main purpose of the production test was to determine more accurately the capacity of the export system for supplying flow to a dual reactor area under several simulated emergency conditions where BPA power to all areas has been interrupted and the steam supply to one old area has been lost. In addition, the flow capac… more

Progress Report on Neutron Radiography

Description: BS> The potential advantages of neutron radiography as an inspection method are discussed along with a historical review and discussions of neutron sources and detectors. The results of the current investigation of neutron-image detectors are discussed in regard to photographic speed, relative neutron-gamma response, and resolution comparisons. Two neutron-image detecting methods are discussed. In one, the direct-exposure method, both the converter screens and the film are exposed to the neutro… more

Secondary Missiles Generated by Nuclear-Produced Blast Waves

Description: The generation of secondary missiles by blast waves was investigated in Operation Plumbbob for three nuclear detonations with estimated yields of 11, 38, and 44.5 kt. A trapping technique was used to determine the impact velocities for 17,524 missiles (stones, glass fragments, spheres, and military debris or steel fragments) which occurred in open areas, houses, and an underground shelter with an open entryway. The equivalent ideal-wave peak overpressures computed from measured blast data for t… more

Hazards Report for SM-1 Core Temperature and Flow Instrumentation (Task XIV) Covering Special Test Procedures.

Description: Abstract: Test procedures for special tests involving in-core SM-1 temperature and flow instrumentation are described (Task XIV Package Tests). These tests involve in-core steady state flow and temperature measurements, loss of flow transients, load transients, reduced primary system pressure operations and reduced element flow. The thermal and hydraulic conditions prevailing in these tests, including steady state and transient burnout rations, are developed. The effects of reduced system pres… more

Chemical Technology Division, Chemical Development Section C Progress Report for October-December 1961

Description: Recovery of Th (and U) from Granitic Rock. Recovery of Th by acid leaching ten addltlonal granite samples (36 to 82 ppm Th) from the Conway formation in N. H. ranged from about 50 to 85%, and averaged about 70%, Study of the effect of grind size on the recovery of Th from Conway and Plkes Peak granites showed no significant differences in the range minus 20 to minus 200 mesh. The Th concentration in a sized Conway granite sample was found to be much greater in the fine than in the coarse fracti… more

Summary of geology for two potential underground test sites in basaltic rocks, Nevada Test Site. Technical Letter: NTS-15

Description: The geologic map of the Paiute Ridge (Papoose Lake SW) 7 1/2-minute quadrangle shows an area of about 4 square miles on the east side of Yucca Flat that is underlain by basaltic rocks. These rocks are estimated to be as much as 1,000 feet in places and occur as a capping on a small mesa and as lopoliths, igneous masses that in cross section are saucer-shaped. This area was further studied to determine the geologic features of the basaltic rocks in order to evaluate the potential use of this are… more

CRITICALITY EXCURSION OF NOVEMBER 10, 1961

Description: A criticality excursion occurred at the Oak Ridge Critical Experiments Laboratory on November l0, l961 as enriched uranium metal, neutron reflected and moderated by hydrogen, was being assembled. It is estimated that the energy yield was between 10/sup 15/ and 10/sup 16/ fissions. There was no personnel exposure or property damage. Fission product contamination, both airborne and contained in the metal, decayed sufficiently overnight to allow unhindered continuation of the experiment. The excur… more

Summary status report internal corrosion of ribbed aluminum process tubes

Description: The increasing incidence of leaking process tubes, and the approaching end of the useful life of process tubes in the C and K Reactors, have focused attention upon the various sources of aluminum process tube leaks. Further, the replacement of large numbers of process tubes with new ones, also of aluminum, will require continued attention to these sources to make efficient use of the new tubes. One of the sources of process tube leaks is the corrosion that attacks the interior surface of the pr… more
