Defect testing of coextruded uranium-zircaloy-II clad fuel material in a 300 C out-of-reactor recirculating water loop: Interim report

Description: A major problem in the development of a pressurized water reactor coolant system for the NPS is the rupture performance of the fuel elements. As water temperatures are increased to 300 C, uranium corrosion rates increase rapidly. Swelling of the uranium fuel by corrosion could cause the process tube to burst or reduce the tube cooling water flow below acceptable limits. The desirability of slow cooling of the water to avoid thermal shocks to the reactor piping after a rupture is detected furthe… more

Gamma Rays from Inelastic Scattering of 14-Mev Neutrons on Pb²⁰⁸

Description: Abstract: "The cross section for the production of 2.61-Mev gamma rays from the Pb-208(n, n')Pb-208* reaction has been measured for five different angles from 50 to 130 degrees. The angular distribution appears to be isotropic within the precision of the experiments, and leads to an integrated cross section of 25.5 +/- 4.6 millibarns."

Expansion program 190 Building studies results

Description: It is the objective of this study to investigate preliminary expansion program requirements for process water, as supplied by 190 Building equipment; from the point of view of practical pumping, flywheel and pump suction head requirements. These requirements are to be determined at this time in such a form and accuracy as to be useful in refined estimating for budget study purposes. In order to obtain the objectives of this study at this time it has been decided to consider five different condi… more

Artificial cooling of the Columbia River by dam regulation: Part 1

Description: In early July 1958, it appeared that Columbia River temperatures at HAPO would be near 24--50{degree}C by the end of August. River temperatures were averaging 40 to 50{degree}C above 1957 figures and were 3{degree} to 4{degree} above the ten year highs. It seemed desirable to examine the problem to determine if any corrective measure could be taken, since it was apparent that production losses were imminent. The large storage of cold water behind Grand Coulee Dam, normally untapped, was a sourc… more

Redox in-line monitoring instruments information manual

Description: The in-line monitoring instruments installed in the Redox plant in the late 1950s consisted of six gamma monitors, a single channel gamma spectrometer, an alpha monitor, and a neutron counter. A gamma monitor on the steam condensate outlet line and a uranium monitor on the 2DFS stream were to be added at a later date. The first section of this information manual describes the in-line gamma monitors and gives operating instructions for them. The second section covers the alpha monitor, and the t… more

Artificial cooling of the Columbia River by dam regulation. Part 3

Description: The temperatures of the Columbia River was reduced 1 to 30 Centigrade with beneficial effects at HAPO. It is reasonable to expect that future benefits may be possible. It is desirable that the temperature of the river be controlled each year to the maximum extent possible. Instrumentation improvements requested to effect optimum savings. Records of river temperatures and flows should continue to be maintained by IPD as a necessary part of temperature optimization. Where possible, the coincident… more
