H. W. Laboratory manual: 100 Area section

Description: The purpose of this manual is to present a Hazard Breakdown of all jobs normally encountered in the laboratory work of the three sections comprising the Analytic Section, Metallurgy and Control Division of the Technical Department. A Hazard Breakdown is a careful analysis of any job in which the source of possible dangers is clearly indicated for each particular step. The analysis is prepared by individuals who are thoroughly familiar with the specific job or procedure. It is felt that if the h… more

Chemical and physical properties vs degree of concentration of uranyl nitrate-nitric acid process streams of metal conversion plant

Description: Uranium is recovered as an aqueous solution of uranyl nitrate and nitric acid in both the tributyl phosphate metal recovery process and the Redox separation process. The streams are designated as RCU and IIIEU in the respective processes. For metal recovery these streams are combined. The purpose of the nitric removal operation is to minimize equipment corrosion and to restrict contamination of the final uranium oxide with corrosion products which might be formed in the elevated temperature rea… more

Preparation and Properties of RAF Solutions : Low Acid TBP Flowsheets HW Number 4 and HW Number 5

Description: This report follows work with the purposes of determining the minimum amount of nitric acid required to dissolve slurries of stored metal waste, determining the stability of such metastable solutions as a function of their chemical compositions - primarily acidity - versus time and temperature, and to define a feed suitable for a low-acid TBP process flowsheet, and to indicate the range of variations in composition which can be tolerated for plant operation.
