Process Improvement Transition Authorization #11-I Installation of Van Stone Seal Inserts - F Reactor.

Description: Continued operation of F reactor with high water collection rates during the past 12 years has resulted in numerous detrimental effects. In addition to promoting external corrosion tube leaks, water leaks have corroded the Gunbarrel to the biological shield donut assemblies and cast iron thermal shield blocks, thus preventing the majority of tubes in F reactor from unrestrained thermal expansion. Fatigue of the Van Stone flange under the resulting compression loads leads to eventual failure in … more

Scavenging as a Predisposal Treatment for NPR Decontamination Wastes

Description: A disposal method is needed for wastes generated from the decontamination of the NPR primary coolant loop. The limitations imposed by facilities design criteria for the disposal of NPR wastes preclude direct river release of the spent cleaning solutions because of the anticipated quantities of radioactive material in these wastes. The soil at a 100-N Area trench or crib should not be relied on for removing radionucleotides by ion exchange or filtration because of the high salt content of the wa… more

A Wrist Badge Film Dosimeter for Hand Dose Measurement

Description: The wrist badge provides a dosimeter that is useful in estimating the radiation dose to the hands and forearms. Its new shield system gives good gamma and slow neutron dose discrimination with duPont 552 film packets. The film can be evaluated using the present technique and equipment. Several attempts to develop hand dosimeters have been made. Finger rings using film have been used routinely but have not been entirely satisfactory for all situations. The wrist badge was developed to provide im… more

Hanford Test Pile

Description: The Hanford Test Pile is a heterogeneous, low power, graphite moderated natural uranium pile. The pile consists of an eighteen foot cube of graphite containing 292 charged channels in a square array with an 8-1/2-inch lattice spacing. This report describes the reactor and the operating procedures used, and presents the latest results of calibrations performed. These calibrations supersede other work which has been done on the Test Pile and contain refinements of most of the early calibrations.

Analysis of Uranium-Nicked Alloys

Description: Abstract. Methods for determination of both uranium and nickel in solutions of these metals are described. Alloys can be dissolved in nitric acid treated with citric acid to complex the uranium, and the nickel precipitated as nicked dimethylglyoxime. The uranium is reduced and titrated with standard ceric sulfate. These methods are for the determination of macro amounts of uranium and nickel with errors on the order of 0.1%.

Experimental Training Model for Closed Chest Cardiac Massage Developed at the Ames Laboratory

Description: From introduction: "This article describes a training aid that was at the Ames Laboratory in order to give the plant protection group of the Laboratory an opportunity to practice closed chest cardiac massage on a simulated model. Details of the model are given so that professional or semi-professional people who may be faced with a sudden emergency requiring immediate action may duplicate this training aid."

Some not-so-common ways of using MCS-8 I/O instructions, LEN 22269. [Intel 8008]

Description: The I/O instructions for the Intel 8008 Microprocessor have versatilities that are not apparent to most users. The Standard lament is that there are only 8/sub 10/ input instructions. The fact that there are only 24/sub 10/ output instructions is sometimes belabored, but 24 is normally considered sufficient for most microprocessor applications. This note discusses ways to expand the available number of both these instructions. 4 figures.

Temperature tests of high frequency SLIFER oscillator, LEA73-2176. [For monitoring underground nuclear detonations at Nevada Test Site]

Description: SLIFER (Short Location Indication by Frequency of Electrical Resonance) systems measure stress wave velocity in solid or liquid materials. They monitor underground nuclear detonations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). A shorted length of coaxial cable is a component in an oscillator's tank circuit. This sensor cable is inductive when less than one-fourth wavelength long at the oscillator's resonant frequency. The stress wave from a detonation crushes and shorts this sensor cable. As the … more

MObIUS (Massive Object Integrated Universal Store): A Survey Toward a More General Framework

Description: General frameworks for distributed computing are slowly evolving out of Grid, Peer Architecture, and Web Services. The following results from a summer long survey into distributing computing practices have revealed three things. One, that Legion and Cactus-G have achieved the most in terms of providing an all-purpose application environment. Two, that extending a local programming environment to operate in a highly distributed fashion can be facilitated with toolkits like Globus. Three, that bu… more

Preparation of NIF Scale Poly ((alpha)-METHYLSTYRENE) Mandrels

Description: All planned National Ignition Facility (NIF) capsule targets except machined beryllium require a plastic mandrel upon which the ablator is applied. This mandrel must at least meet if not exceed the symmetry and surface finish requirements of the final capsule. The mandrels are produced by a two-step process. In the first step a thin-walled poly({alpha}-methylstyrene)(P{alpha}MS) shell is produced using microencapsulation techniques. This shell is overcoated with 10 to 15 {micro}m of glow discha… more

A Non-Interfering Beam Radius Diagnostic Suitable For Induction Linacs

Description: High current electron induction linacs operate in a parameter regime that allows the use of a diamagnetic loop (DML) to measure the beam magnetic moment. Under certain easily met conditions the beam radius can be derived from the moment measurement. The DML has the advantage over the present methods of measuring beam radius in that it is an electrical measurement with good time resolution that does not interfere with the beam transport. I describe experiments on the LLNL accelerators, ETA-II an… more

Examples of the changes in temperature, pressure and flow following a reactor power surge

Description: While it is obvious that a power surge in a Hanford reactor will result in temperature increases of the fuel and water, it is also true that there will be changes in the coolant flow rate and the pressures in each process tube. In addition, if the power increase is of sufficient magnitude, a self-induced flow reduction will occur as a result of pressure changes due to boiling within the process tube. The relations between power, temperatures, flow and pressure following a power surge are diffic… more
