Hypothesis Concerning Irradiation Embrittlement of Uranium

Description: In discussion with a number of people at HAPO, KAPL and ANL a hypothesis has been evolved which appears to fit available information concerning irradiation embrittlement of uranium as well as indicate a possible solution to the problem. The purpose of this memorandum is to expound the hypothesis as an aid to those working with the problem. Since it imbodies the ideas of many people, no claim to unique authorship is implied.

The Adsorption and Surface Reactions of Hydrocarbons on Clean Iridium

Description: From abstract: "The adsorption of ethane, ethylene and acetylene on clean iridium in a field emission microscope has been found to cause characteristic changes in the work function of the iridium surface. Further changes, which are time and temperature dependent, result when such surfaces are heated. Flash filament experiments have shown that the changes in work function upon heating are due to desorption reactions and that the desorbed product consists principally of hydrogen. By assuming a li… more

Flash X-Ray (FXR) Accelerator Optimization - Beam-induced Voltage Simulation and TDR Measurements

Description: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is evaluating design alternatives to improve the voltage regulation in our Flash X-Ray (FXR) accelerator cell and pulse-power system. The goal is to create a more mono-energetic electron beam that will create an x-ray source with a smaller spot-size. Studying the interaction of the beam and accelerator cell will generate improved designs for high-current accelerators at Livermore and elsewhere. When an electron beam crosses the energized gap of an a… more

Iron Phosphate Glass as an Alternative Waste-Form for Hanford LAW

Description: Although the current baseline Hanford flowsheet for immobilizing low-activity waste (LAW) assumes borosilicate-based glass, opportunities exist to improve or change this baseline to reduce the current schedule and cost requirements of accomplishing the mission of site cleanup. Development of an alternative glass-forming system can lead to this goal of cost and schedule reduction through enhanced waste loading and higher plant throughput. The purpose of this project is to investigate the iron-ph… more

Irradiation summary report: PT-IP-247-A-FP irradiation of 1.47% enriched self-supported I&E fuel elements in ribless process tubes

Description: The objective of this test was to irradiate self-supported fuel elements under conditions of severity comparable to those expected for future loadings of this geometry. From this irradiation an attempt was made to determine the resistance to corrosion of cooled cladding, the effect of supports on cladding corrosion and coolant flow patterns, resistance of ``hot-spot`` type of attack, and rupture resistance of projection fuel elements. These results are compared to rib supported control elements… more

Possible water flow rates at DR and H Piles

Description: Estimated water flow rates at H Pile for various postulated conditions are given. The conditions under which the data are valid are as follows: (1) the estimated accuracy of the tube flow rates is {+-}5%, and of pile flow rates {+-}7%; (2) the pile flow rates are based upon the present tube geometry, orifice zone pattern and total flow at H Pile; (3) the flow rates should be increased about 2% if film-free slugs and tubes are considered; and (4) flow rates for enlarged fittings are based upon f… more

Production test IP-243-A-6-FP evaluation of X-8001 alloy aluminum components fabricated from cast blanks

Description: This test is designed to accomplish two primary objectives: (1) to attempt to verify ex-reactor corrosion data which indicated improved corrosion resistance of cast blank X-8001 alloy material compared with wrought blank, and (2) to attempt to verify the resistance to groove pitting type of corrosion attack previously observed on M-388 components. Ex-reactor tests of cast blank M-388 alloy in autoclaves using water as the corrosive media up to 360 C, and in flow loops up to 120 C have indicated… more

Economic evaluation of recirculation as a method of pile cooling

Description: Reductions in irradiation costs and increases in production rate have provided a continuing incentive for more efficient operation of the Hanford Piles. These improvements have been obtained by means of higher specific powers, greater water flow rates, and better water utilization. However, the extent of the improvements which can be made in this manner may be limited by such factors as tube and slug corrosion, slug stability, and graphite damage rates at higher operating temperatures. Water pu… more

Bimetallic promotion of cooperative hydrogen transfer and heteroatom removal in coal liquefaction. Final technical report, September 1, 1988--December 31, 1991

Description: The ultimate objective of this research has been to uncover novel reagents and experimental conditions for heteroatom removal and hydrogen transfer processes, which would be applicable to the liquefaction of coal under low-severity conditions. To this end, one phase of this research has investigated the cleavage of carbon-heteroatom bonds involving sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and halogen by subvalent transition-metal complexes. A second phase of the study has assessed the capability of the same tr… more

Proposal for charging GEH-10-43 NINI interim measurement test in the ETR

Description: The objective of this test is to irradiate an NPR fuel element inner tube in the ETR 3 {times} 3 Loop. the NPR fuel element is a tube in tube type. Both tubes are Zircaloy-2 clad uranium metal. The inner tube is identified by the Hanford designation NINI. In GEH-10-43 we plan to measure an NINI tube after each cycle for four cycles. An NPR inner tube with slightly larger diameter has been run in the ETR Hanford 3 {times} 3 Loop. Two NINI elements are now running in the 3 {times} 3 Loop.

Model documentation: Electricity market module, electricity finance and pricing submodule

Description: The purpose of this report is to define the objectives of the model, describe its basic approach, and provide detail on how it works. The EFP is a regulatory accounting model that projects electricity prices. The model first solves for revenue requirements by building up a rate base, calculating a return on rate base, and adding the allowed expenses. Average revenues (prices) are calculated based on assumptions regarding regulator lag and customer cost allocation methods. The model then solves … more
