Improved Calibration Facility

Description: Aid in redesign of the calibration facility in order to: 1. Reduce the rate of exposure for calibration personnel below 1 mr/hr; 2. Reduce the rate of exposure outside of the 3745 Building; 3. Reduce the risk of breaking radium sources; 4. Improve the efficiency of calibration procedures by: a. Allowing calibration to be done faster; b. Providing several calibration ranges which can operate simultaneously in the present space allowed; c. Allowing instrument survey work to proceed while calibrat… more

Bend and Impact Tests on Porous Alundum Filter Material

Description: Porous alundum filter plate samples were received for testing to determine the effects of Redox process solutions and conditions on bend and impact properties. Alundum has been suggested as a barrier material for use in the Redox Silica Gel Absorption Column T-101. Consequently, data on possible engineering property changes caused by exposure to separation process solutions and radiation are needed to evaluate the applicability of alundum as a barrier material.

Columbia River Travel Time Measurements by Float Methods

Description: One of the problems associated with evaluating the hazards resulting from the discharge of radioactive pile coolant water into the Columbia River results from the subsequent consumption of the river water by cities downstream of Hanford. Determination of the travel time of the river water from the reactor cooling water discharge points to the first downstream cities to consume the river water (Pasco and Kennevick) is a necessary part of the hazard evaluation. Knowledge of the travel time is req… more

Corrosion of Stainless Steel and Titanium in Purex 2WW

Description: In the Purex process, nitric acid is recovered from aqueous wastes by concentration and rectification. The concentrator bottoms are relatively corrosive to stainless steels, particularly on heat-exchange surfaces. This report summarizes studies aimed at determining corrosion rates for certain candidate materials of construction (304-L, 347, 312 stain steels and A-70 titanium) for the aqueous waste concentrators. Synthetic Purex Process 2WW, representing bottoms from the low level waste concentr… more

Hanford Special X-Ray Photometer: Mark II

Description: The special x-ray photometer was designed to measure various characteristics of high-absorption materials by comparing the attenuation of an x- ray beam in passing through a sample of known size with the attenuation through a standard. A general description, discussion of elements, safety features and cautions alignment and adjustment, and operation and maintenance are presented.

Nuclear Metallurgy Lectures - Chapter 11

Description: Dimensional instability was one of the first difficulties encountered with uranium fuel elements. Early in the operation of the HAPO reactors it was found that uranium fuel elements changed shape as a result of having been irradiated. This problem of dimensional instability has been vigorously pursued up to the present day.

Radioactivity Levels of the Columbia River Below Richland, Washington for the Period January, February, March 1956

Description: In the Columbia River downstream from Richland, Washington there is a gradual decrease in the concentration of radioactive isotopes. At any one location there are fluctuations due to factors such as ditution and decay time. During this period at all locations the concentration of alpha particle emitters in water averaged below the detection limit of 3 x 10⁻⁹ μ c/gm. Beta particle emitters in water upstream of McNary Dam increased by a factor of 1.5 to 2, with averages at various locations rangi… more
