Production test 234-4, production of plutonium (IV) fluoride by direct hydrofluorination of plutonium (III) oxalate. Final report

Description: A new method for the production of plutonium (IV) fluoride, which is used for the production of metallic plutonium, is described. The method bypasses the oxidation of plutonium(III) oxalate to plutonium(IV) oxide. A production test was executed with favorable yields; the decision to replace the prior method was recommended. This report is from the Hanford Works 234-5 building, March 30, 1951.

Uranium Hexafluoride Purification

Description: An experimental batch distillation column was used to purify UF/sub 6/ containing metal impurities. The degree of purification was determined by comparing the spectrographic analyses of the UF/sub 6/ distillate material with the original feed or pot material. Results are tabulated at 95% confidence limits. (auth)

Hydrides and Metal-Hydrogen Systems. Final Report

Description: The work reported deals with the preparation and physical properties, especially thermal dissociation pressures, and densities of hydrides, hydrogen- metal systems, and mixtures of hydrides with other substances. Possible applicatlons as moderators, high-temperature neutron shields, and low-temperature shields are cited and design problems discussed. Most of the data on dissociation pressures cover ranges and compounds not hltherto explored because of experimental difficulties and the basic kno… more

The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis. XIV.

Description: It seems hardly necessary to repeat to an audience of this kind the importance of the process known as photosynthesis in the interaction and the interdependence of organisms and in the very existence of life as we know it. This process by which green plants are able to capture electromagnetic energy in the form of sunlight and transform it into stored chemical energy in the form of a wide variety of reduced (relative to carbon dioxide) carbon compounds provides the only major source of energy f… more

Refining of MgX and Other Uranium-Bearing Materials. Quarterly Progress Report

Description: Investigations on problems related to the use of MgX and other feed materials in the Plant 6 U refinery at St. Louis, Mo., have continued, with emphasis on the extraction of process feeds by neutral ether. Results of Scheibel column extraction tests wtth neutral ether on a variety of pitchblende, MgX, and V-20 soda salt feed materials indicate that the addition of Fe to complex interfering elements can reduce U losses in raffinates to lower levels than are attainable with acid ether in the abse… more

Project C-431-A Production Facility design computations on outfall structure 1900-C

Description: Project C-431-A includes the design of the C Water Plant outfall structure. This report documents design assumptions and the design of the spillway, outfall sewers, spillway chute, trash racks, walkways, stop log and trash rack slots, main sewer, and retention sewers. The spillway capacity is to be 268,000 gpm with a crest elevation at 429.0. This flow capacity is composed of flow from the 105-C Retention Basin (80,000 gpm), 105-B Retention Basin (45,000 gpm), and the 190-C Area main sewer (143… more
