Determination of Radium 226 in Mill Effluents

Description: Recent attempts at the Laboratory in determining radium-226 in effluents from mills engaged in processing uranium ores several significant sources of error were discovered that had not been previously known. In order to make this information available to interested parties at the earliest possible time, a brief description is provided.

Hazardous Material Filter Manual for the National Reactor Testing Station

Description: The Filter Advisory Committee (FAC) was established at the National Reactor Testing Station in June 1961 to review existing filter programz and problems that demanded immediate attention. Due to the absence of the use of filter technology prior to the FAC establishment the FAC recommend the purchase of testing equipment to address the storage of radioactive materials.

Materials Control Techniques in Reprocessing Enriched Uranium

Description: In operating nuclear reactors it is impossible to burn up all fissionable material contained in fuel elements due to buildup of fission product poisons, the depletion of fissionable material and radiation damage to the elements. Accountability in a liquid, liquid solvent extraction type process is described.

Processing of the Core Fuel Used Initially in the Experimental Breeder Reactor (EBR-I)

Description: A detailed description of the processing of enriched uranium from the first core of the EBR-I, together with cold runs preceding this active processing. The fuel and aluminum shipping cans were dissolved in nitric acid with mercury catalyst.

Pilot Plant Development of a Process for Separating Barium-140 from MTR Fuel

Description: Extensive full scale pilot plant studies, using unirradiated materials, of a precipitation process designed to separate 30,000 to 50,000 curie quantities of high purity barium-140 from a twenty-day-irradiated, two-day-cooled MTR fuel assembly were conducted. Centrifugation was employed to effect liquid-solid separations

Effect of First Cycle Scrub Ration Reduction on Decontamination in the "25" Process

Description: The scrub flow ratio in the first cycle of the Hexone solvent extraction process for the recovery and decontamination of uranium from aluminum-uranium alloy fuels has been reduced by a factor of 10. A minimum flow ration of scrub : feed : extractant of 1: 79 : 67 has been plant-tested. Uranium losses were unaffected, and overall fission product decontamination for three cycles was changed only slighty

Radiation Damage Problems in the ICPP Barium-140 Separation Process

Description: In the ICPP barium-140 separation process, an MTR fuel element is processed after only two days of cooling. Since the total activity present is of the order of 10(5) curies, it was necessary to investigate the extent and nature of radiation damage to process components, and to devise methods of protecting process solutions where necessary

ICPP Input Measurement Program

Description: The measurement of residual fissionable material in spent reactor fuel elements requires specialized equipment, methods and control procedures. As a result of processing a variety of fuels at ICPP an integrated measurement generation, control and interpretation system has evolved which provides highly precise measurements from which plant material balances are constructed.

Technical Progress Report for October Through December 1957: Idaho Chemical Processing Plant

Description: Aluminum-uranium alloy was processed successfully through the ICPP continuous dissolving-TBP extraction system. Process and equipment changes resulted in reduced waste volume. Recovery of uranium from a second zirconium alloy core was initiated. Separation of barium-140 was continued
