Tests of a Vapor-Space Feed Nozzle for Calcining Aluminum Nitrate Solutions in a Fluidized Bed

Description: An investigation was conducted to determine the performance of a vapor- space feed nozzle which sprayed aluminum nitrate solution on the surface of a fluidized bed calciner. Results indicate that this type of feed system is satisfactory for calcining aqueous wastes from the processing of spent aluminum- type nuclear fueIs. Process and product control were achieved by adjusting the volumetric ratio of the air to the liquid fed to the nozzIe. The results obtained at various operating conditions a… more

Evaluation of the Blake Sodium Resistivity Meter

Description: Report issued by the APDA over an evaluation of the toroid sodium resistivity meter. Studies were conducted on carbon and oxygen contamination. As stated in the introduction, "the meter was also subjected to extensive testing in which variations in temperature, flow rate, and supply voltage were made in order to determine signal stability and effective range" (p. 5). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Automatic Foil Activity Counting Facility and Data-Reduction Program

Description: Report describing a transistorized automatic counting and recording system built for the determination of foil-activation data. Some of the convenience requirements of the system were that the output be more suitable for computer processing, automatic sensing of the type of count recorded, and ready availability of the data at all stages of processing.

Criteria of the Post-Operative Cells, E-MAD Facility

Description: The purpose of this report is to present information on the design requirements of the post-operative cells at the E-MAD facility. It contains our reference operation plan, requirements for the post-operative cells, the cell service area, the warm machine shop and the manipulator repair area. This report is based on the best information presently available. The reference operation plan will be changed, as required, to be compatible with the E-MAD final design and the final design of the reactor. more

Time behavior of a critical reactor pulsed with a large square wave source

Description: In a previous Naval Application memorandum, a discussion was given of what happens to the power level of a reactor when an instantaneous, very large neutron source is introduced. The motivation for the problem arises from the question of what happens when a nuclear bomb is detonated near a reactor powered missile. This present memorandum looks at the same problem as that which is discussed in the previous memorandum but in slightly more detail. The results obtained are essentially the same as t… more

Technical criteria and bases for a zirconium-tubed K Reactor

Description: The criteria contained in this report have been established to provide the technical bases for the design modifications involved in the K-Reactor tube replacement. The ultimate intent of these criteria is to provide the basic technical data and concepts to assure: technical feasibility and operability of the reactor system as modified; operation of the reactor and its services to minimize nuclear and radiation hazards; and appropriate lifetime of the reactor and its service facilities as modifi… more

Measured vs calculated river {Delta}T

Description: River temperature traverse data within and just the plant boundary are quite limited. For this report, traverse temperatures were calculated by first averaging the depth measurements vertically at each traverse point, and then weighing the average for the cross section by the depth at each point and the span between points. Calculated {Delta} T`s were determined by dividing the total reactor power level above the traverse line by the river flow, with the appropriate factor to obtain the correct… more

Results of production test IP-528-I, F Reactor high tank drawdown test

Description: A continued decrease in flow measured during the periodic high velocity flushes indicated that corrosion buildup in the high tank discharge lines was deceasing backup flow to the reactor. An accurate determination of the high tank flow rate to the reactor was needed to evaluate present back-up adequacy. Riser pressure and flow rate were also measured with throttled high tank discharge lines to establish the low flow and critical portion of the reactor hydraulic characteristic curve.
