Comparative Costs Of Sea Disposal And Land Burial For The Radioactive Wastes Of The Lawrence Radiation Laboratory

Description: This report is a comparative cost study of radioactive waste disposal for the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (UCRL). In particular, it compares the costs of sea disposal in depths of 1000 fathoms and of 2000 fathoms off the California coast with land burial of the wastes at the Hanford Atomic Products Operation (HAPO), Richland, Washington, at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS), Idaho Falls, Idaho, or at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), Nevada. In the comparison, the cost of utilizing a comm… more

Determination of the Zr Corner of the Zr-Fe-Sn System at 0.1 and 0.2% Oxygen Levels. Final Report for December 5, 1957 - December 5, 1958

Description: This program was undertaken to supply fundamental information on the effect of adding 0.1 or 0.2% oxygen on the phase relationships in the Zr-Fe-Sn system in a limited range of dilute alloys. It is of both theoretical and practical interest to learn that oxygen stabilizes not only the g-phase in zirconium but also two intermetallic compounds ZrFe2 and the G-phase, which, chemically, appears to be Zr4Sn with about 8% Fe replacing zirconium, is shown to be stable at 1010 C, and probably also at 1… more

Induction Melting of Uranium Dioxide Powder

Description: Fused uranium dioxide has desirable characteristics for fabricating high density nuclear fuel elements by swaging. Methods of preparing dense uranium dioxide particles being investigated at HAPO include are arc fusion, and sintering and crushing of low density powder. This paper reports the results of exploratory experiments to prepare fused uranium dioxide by induction heating of low density powder in graphite crucibles.

CARBOXYLATIONS AND DECARBOXYLATIONS

Description: A brief survey of decarboxylation reactions and carboxylation reactions that are known or presumed in biological systems will be presented. While a considerable number of amino acid decarboxylations are known, their mechanisms will not be included in the present discussion but will be reserved for a later paper in the symposium. The remaining decarboxylation reactions may be subdivided into oxidative and nonoxidative decarboxylations. In most cases, these reactions are practically irreversible … more

Direct Spectrophotometric Determination of Uranium in Cyclohexane Solutions of Tri-n-Octylphosphine Oxide

Description: A method for the direct determination of uranium in a cyclohexane solution of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) is presented. The adduct, UO/sub 2/ Cl/sub 2/ x 2TOPO, that is formed when uranium(VI) is extracted from hydrochloric acid solutions by tri-n-octylphosphine oxide absorbs light in the ultraviolet region. This absorbance is measured at 230 m mu vs. a TOPO-cyclohexane solution that was contacted with hydrochloric acid of the same concentration as that in the test aliquot. The molar abso… more

EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION ON STAINLESS STEEL-CLAD UO$sup 2$ PELLETS IN HELIUM OR CARBON DIOXIDE

Description: Uranium dioxide pellets sealed in Type 316 stainless steel containers with a helium gas were irradiated in helium and in C0/sub 2/ in thermal fluxes or the order of 1 x 10/sup 13/ n/(cm/sup 2/)(sec). Cladding-surface temperatures were reportedly between 1200 and about 1800 F. The hot-cell examination performed by BMI showed that there were no obvious effects of the irradiation on the specimen tested in helium. However, the specimen irradiated in the presence of C0/sub 2/ exhibited severe claddi… more

Remote Area Scintillation Monitoring System

Description: This report was written to describe briefly several possible variations of such systems along with probable cost estimates. Previous work has been shown that the application of scintillation detectors is the simplest and most reliable means for such monitoring. By proper detector selection and measuring methods, the system can be of an approximate gamma dose-rate with gamma energy independence above about 100 Kev. The same system using detector change only is directly applicable to beta, gamma,… more

Spectrophotometric Determination of Copper in Yttrium Metal With Neocuproine

Description: The neocuproine colorimetric method was applied to the determination of copper in yttrium metal. From 5 to 80 - g of copper was determined in the presence of as much as 5OO mg of yttrium with a coefficient of variation of 2%. Copper was reduced to copper (I) with hydroxylamine and complexed with neocuproine (2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). The colored complex was extracted into chloroform and its absorbance measured, after dilution with ethanol, at 457 m - . (auth)

Uranium Cold Extrusion

Description: Several hollow uranium cores of "C" size I & E diameters were fabricated by cold extrusion (550 to 750 F) at Hunter Douglas Aluminum Corporation. Results show diameter control and reproducibility are excellent. Preferred orientation induced by this process is completely removed by a single standard beta heat treatment.

Braze Alloys v.s. Atmospheres : Final Report Project 1325

Description: Summary. At the time this project was initiated, all brazing had been confined to small retorts of ten cubic feet capacity or less. Larger assemblies were scheduled which required retorts of over 100 cubic feet capacity. Hydrogen atmospheres had given the best results, however, there was considerable reluctance to use hydrogen in these large retorts from a safety standpoint. It was thought that thru the use of PMC 2252, an argon - 2 1/2% hydrogen gas atmosphere which in non-explosive, suffici… more

Chemical Processing Department monthly report, April 1959

Description: Production of Pu from separations plants was only 58% of April commitment because of Purex difficulties. UO{sub 3} production, shipments met schedules. Pu shape production and shipments exceeded forecast by 14%. Purex HS column, repaired Oct 1958, developed another leak and was bypassed April 18, resulting in Pu and U that required reprocessing. A Palm recovery run at Purex with all- reducing flowsheet, resulted in 87% recovery and excellent decontamination of product. The prototype dual-pass s… more

An Aqua Recia Flowsheet for Uranium Dissolution

Description: Relatively long time cycles are required for the standard nitric acid dissolution of enriched uranium using safe batch size techniques for criticality control. Upwards of forty eight hours are required for the total dissolution of solid of I and E enriched slugs in nitric acid. The dissolution capacity may be increased by: (1) using a dissolver critically safe by virtue of its geometry or, (2)increasing the rate of uranium dissolution. Dilute agua regia -- a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric a… more
