CIVILIAN POWER REACTOR PROGRAM. PART III. CORE-PARAMETER STUDIES FOR SELECTED REACTOR TYPES

Description: A report is presented to provide a tool for evaluating the relative economic incentives for changing reactor core parameters. The cost relations are shown in terms of differential cost in lieu of total cost. A total cost for each reactor described is included so that power costs for a specified set of parameters can be obtained. A description is also included concerning 5 reactor types considered along with a discussion of the effects on power costs of varying the significant core parameters. A… more

Creep Rupture in the Presence of a Fast Neutron Flux

Description: Possible mechanisms for creep rupture during irradiation are examined. Evidence that the rupture occurs by grain boundary sliding alone, or by vacancy condensation, is compared. It is observed that vacancy condensation is the more probable mechanism, and that this mechanism predicts a reduction in creep rupture life for metals exposed to a fast neutron flux (neglecting effects of radiation annealing).

REACTOR FUEL WASTE DISPOSAL PROJECT PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON SALT CAVITIES AND SURVEY OF LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS STORAGE

Description: It is deemed feasible to store reactor fuel wastes in a salt dome cavity to a depth where the differential in pressure between the soil over-burden pressure and pressure of the fluid inside the cavity does not exceed 3000 psi, and the temperature is less than 400 deg F. Tests at pressure increments of 1000 psi were conducted on a 2" cylindrical cavity contained in a 6-in. long by 6-in. cylindrical salt core. Tests indicate that the cavity exhibited complete stability under pressures to 300… more

Scope design for conversion of Purex anion exchange prototype to a manufacturing facility

Description: This document is a HAPO report dated January 23, 1959, and describes the plutonium tail-end anion exchange system, installed in Purex as a prototype unit. Although some modifications, those considered most needed, were made to the unit, additional changes and refinements were still needed to convert the prototype to a fully acceptable manufacturing facility. This document covers the scope design of these modifications. The purpose of this document is to provide scope design criteria for a proje… more

Effect of saturation of water with dissolved corrosion product on the in-reactor corrosion rate of aluminum in deionized water: Proposal for test in 1706 KER

Description: This report discusses a proposal to measure the corrosion rate of aluminum-clad DOE elements in deionized water in one of the KER Loops at the highest obtainable surface temperatures under conditions where the bulk water adjacent to the elements is saturated with aluminum corrosion product. This will determine whether in-reactor corrosion may be reduced by controlling the aluminum concentration in the water and also provide corrosion data in deionized water at higher temperatures than is now av… more

Results of production test IP-206-CE in pile tests of boron stainless steel splines

Description: A solid spline made of 430 boron stainless steel was tested in tube 2451 at D Reactor. The test was conducted to compare the boron carbide filled hollow aluminum spline presently used with a solid steel spline which is being considered as a substitute. Usage of hollow splines has shown that a solid rugged spline would be highly desirable. Comparisons of spline radiation and reactivity effect were obtained both in-pile and in out-of-pile test facilities. Results of the production test are report… more

Production test IP-2-A: Enriched uranium conversion and stability test, Final report

Description: The purpose of this test was (1) to determine the conversion ratio of alternated enriched uranium fuel segments and lithium aluminum target slugs, and (2) to determine the stability of solid and cored enriched uranium with this type of load. The test consisted of an irradiation of two twelve-tube pile charges, each of them forming a sixteen tube square without corners. The first twelve tubes were a ``striped`` load containing solid fuel elements enriched to .95% U-235 alternated with lithium-al… more

Production test IP-229-A evaluation of the uranium-Al-Si bond at high temperature

Description: The objective of this production test is to determine the changes that occur in the uranium-Al-Si bond during irradiation at bond temperatures between 255 and 285 C. Twenty-five M-388 jacketed dip canned depleted uranium solid fuel elements will be irradiated to an exposure of 500 MWD/T in high temperature water. The location and size of unbonded areas on the fuel elements will be measured by ultrasonic mapping before and after irradiation to show the changes in bonding resulting from irradiati… more

Increased pumping capacity at 181-C scope and justification

Description: The purpose of this report is to provide scope and justification for the installation of two new 16,500 gpm, 150-foot head pumps in the 181-C building in order to furnish sufficient additional water to increase production at 105-B and to supply the entire normal export demand from B Area. A minimum of 11,000 gpm will be required to be transferred from the 183-C reservoir to the 183-B clearwell via the cross-tie line during the adverse turbidity period when the I&E program is in effect at 105-B.… more
