The Determination Thorium Isotopic Ratios by Radiochemical Methods

Description: >A sensitive analytical method was needed to determine the total thorium content and the Th/sup 2//sup 3//sup 0/ isotopic abundance in a number of uranium ore and mill talling samples available in the United States. A procedure was developed using absolute alpha counting to determine Th/sup 2//sup 3//sup 0/ and neutron activation analysis to determine Th/sup 2//sup 3//sup 2/. The method is highly specific with a sensitivity on the order of 10/sup -//sup 1//sup 0/ grams for either isotope and wa… more

Operating Experience With the Sodium Reactor Experiment and Its Application to the Hallam Nuclear Power Facility

Description: The Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of sodium-oooled graphitemoderated reactors for central station power. The operating experience of SRE has provided valuable data for the design of the Hallam Nuclear Power Facillty (HNPF) now under construction. Some of the difficulties found in the SRE, which HNPF will be designed to avoid, are the sodium-sodium intermediate heat exchanger (horizontal position in SRE gave trouble; a vertical position will be us… more

PYROPHORICITY OF URANIUM IN REACTOR ENVIRONMENTS

Description: Current information relative to the pyrophoricity of uranium is reviewed and aspects of this troublesome phenomenon which can support further investigation are considered. Information on metallic uranium fuel element fires, up to the present, provide an inadequate base for extrapolation to future operations because of existing uncertainty with respect to causative mechanisms and fire control techniques. Experience at Hanford reactors indicates conditions which tend to reduce the fuel element fi… more

The Physics and Mathematical Analysis for the TUT-T5 Monte Carlo Code

Description: The TUT-T5 code for the IBM-704 estimates neutron capture probabilities in a one-energy, two-dimensional, rectangular cell model, using a Monte Carlo method. The problem and its solution are described in mathematical terms. The transport equation arising from the idealized physical model used in the code is derived and the problem is stated in terms of the solution of this equation. The validity of the Monte Carlo solution is established by proving that the random variables involved are unbiase… more
