A Review of Potential Radionuclides Produced in Weapons Detonations

Description: ABS>Estimates have been made of what the probable radionuclides produced in weapons detoriations, including fission products and neutron-induced radionuclides in air, soils, and sea water will be. The nuclear and decay properties and some metabolic or biological properties of these nuclides are tabulated where available. Estimates are made of the amounts of the radionuclides produced in weapons detonations. Some radionuclides are discussed with respect to their particular biological interest fr… more

Suggested Major Equipment for NPR Water Quality Control Labs

Description: Two water quality control labs are being provided for the the NPR. One, a "cold" lab, is located in the183 Building adjacent to the control room. Its primary purpose is to provide facilities for quality control of the output of the filter plant and the demineralizer plant. The other, a "hot" lab, is located in the 190 Building. Its primary purpose is to provide facilities for the quality control of the primary and secondary coolants, and the moderator coolant.

Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes: The Experimental Verification of the Onsager Reciprocal Relations

Description: Report discussing theories of irreversible thermodynamic processes. "The purpose of this review is to collect the presently available experimental data for a variety of quite different irreversible phenomena and to show that this evidence does indeed verify the Onsager Reciprocal Relations."

Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes: The Experimental Verification of the Onsager Reciprocal Relations

Description: In the last twenty years a thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes (TIP) has been vigorously developed which has been able to treat irreversible phenomena in a detailed way. The present macroscopic form of the theory was suggested primarily by the statistical mechanical investigations of Onsager. The presently available experimental data are collected for a variety of quite different irreversible phenomena and it is shown that this evidence does indeed verify the Onsager Reciprocal Relat… more

Process specifications for critical mass control: Purex Plant. Revision No. 2

Description: This document is Revision No. 2 of the ``Process Specifications for Critical Mass Control -- Purex Plant``. It encompasses the changes in flowsheet, equipment and plant operating philosophy that have developed since the plant startup. It supersedes Document HW-44064 (Revision No. 1). Plutonium-239 and uranium-235, either as the metals or as dissolved or solid compounds are capable of spontaneous and violent nuclear reactions. Following initial dissolution of irradiated natural uranium fuel elem… more

Quarterly Progress Report for the Period April 1, 1958 to June 30, 1958

Description: The principle progess during the second quarter of 1958 consisted of: accelerating the planning, scheduling, and coordination of the process-water and in-pile test loop irradiation programs; performing two-enrichment non-cycled core studies to determine the improvement in the radial hot channel factor over that which would apply for a uniform core; recalculating the contribution of control to the temperature coefficient using better thermal constant values and an improved method of obtaining co… more

HRT-CP: Results of Solids Dissolution Tests

Description: A dissolution cycle in the chemical plant consists of refluxing with 10.8 M H2SO4 for 4 hours followed by refluxing for a like period with 4 M acid. In each of 3 tests in which 370 gram batches of simulated corrosion product solids were subjected to two dissolution cycles using 820 excess acid more than 99.6 of the solid material was dissolved (based on the amount of undissolved material collected). In another test using one dissolution cycle and 820 excess acid 99.5 of the solids material was … more

Preliminary Internal Performance Data for a Variable-Ejector Assembly on the XJ79-GE-1 Turbojet Engine, 2, Afterburning Configurations

Description: Internal performance of an XJ79-GE-1 variable ejector was experimentally determined with the primary nozzle in two representative after-burning positions. Jet-thrust and air-handling data were obtained in quiescent air for 4 selected ejector configurations over a wide range of secondary to primary airflow ratios and primary-nozzle pressure ratios. The experimental ejector data are presented in both graphical and tabulated form.

Preliminary Report of Critical Experiments in Slab Geometry

Description: The critical parameters of aqueous UO/sub 2/F/sub 2/ solutions enriched to 90% U/sup 235/ in various arrays of interacting slab geometries have been determined for a single concentration. Critical solution heights for various configurations of three nominally 3-in. thick Al slab vessels and one 6-in. Al slab vessel were determined. (T.R.H.)

Additional Extraction and Ion Exchange Studies of Temple Mountain District Ores

Description: Uranium extraction of 95% has been obtained from samples of Temple Mountain ore by a cyclic test procedure in which the new feed was not roasted. This procedure involved acid leaching the ore, flotation and roasting of the carbonaceous material, and acid leaching the roaster calcine.

Development of an Ion Exchange Process for the Recovery of Vanadium

Description: A process for recovering vanadium from acid leach liquors by ion exchange using either columns or resin-in-pulp has been developed. The process is economically feasible, and operating techniques were developed which made the process practical from an operating standpoint. The theory, chemistry, and characteristics of the vanadium ion exchange process are fully discussed.
