Investigation of the Technical Feasibility of Cold Extrusion for Zircaloy-2 Tubing Production. Technical Progress Report

Description: The feasibility of cold extrusion for Zircaloy-2 tube production was studied and the basic feasibility of cold extruding Zircaloy-2 was indicated. Lubrication systems, composed of a lubricant and a conversion coating, were developed and evaluated for the current application. A fluoride-phosphate base coating and a number of promising lubricants were selected for actual extrusion tests. Bars of Zircaloy-2 were successfully cold-extruded to reductions of 50, 65, and 80%. The best lubricants provi… more

Discussion on Optimization of Large Oil-Pumped Ultra-High Vacuum Systems

Description: Abstract: "Discussion is directed toward eventual optimization of the largest diffusion-pump systems. Less than 100 diffusion pump fluid molecules per cm 2/sec are possible to detect using an accumulation method. Optimization discussed demands highest possible system speed compatible with the above contamination rate. Bakeable oil diffusion pump systems, with equal orifice valve-tap units, without conventional baffling, permit theoretical through-put speeds up to 0.3 of the system orifice. The … more

High Temperature Corrosion of Some Metals and Ceramics in Fluorinating Atmospheres

Description: Abstract: The results of this investigation leave little doubt that diffusion of the fluorinating gas along the grain boundaries of the nickel fluoride film to react at the metal-scale interface is the primary mechanism of attack upon pure nickel and its more promising alloys.

Reactor, Plant Engineering short-range program in support of reactor operating continuity

Description: Reactor maintenance problems and engineering studies have identified various reactor rear face piping problems at 105-B, D, DR, F, and H. The long-range solutions to these problems are outlined in classified document HW-65269, ``Existing Reactor Rear Face Piping Review.`` These problems, however, must also be considered from the short-range view to minimize their effects on continuity of reactor operation during the interim until the permanent remedy can be accomplished. This is expected to be … more

SRP radioactive waste releases. Startup through 1959

Description: This report summarizes and documents radioactive waste released to the environs of the Savannah River Plant from startup through 1959. During this period, the quantity of beta-emitting radioisotopes released was determined by a total or ``gross`` analysis. However, advanced instrumentation and technology now permit an economical determination of most individual radionuclides. Therefore, future waste audit reports, beginning with January 1960, will record the quantity of specific radioisotopes r… more

Hydrogen-canning bath-core relationship

Description: In reviewing the data on hydrogen content in the canning baths, the solubility limit of H{sub 2} in Al-Si, and the U-H{sub 2} relationship as was suggested earlier, it appears that the surface H{sub 2} on the core should be less than 0.4 ppm to be below the H{sub 2} concentration level routinely found in the canning baths. What effect low surface H{sub 2} of about 0.4 ppm would have on braze porosity after canning is unknown. However, several years ago (about 1955) some solid cores were vacuum … more

Fission-product strontium activity

Description: The possibility was reviewed that errors in calculations might have resulted in an erroneously high theoretical strontium activity which would explain the unexpected low activity found ion the strontium recovered from Purex wastes. The new, corrected calculations (49,213 curies/T) improves the accounting from 65 to 75% of theoretical. The discrepancy still should be investigated.

Appendix: Production Test IP-353-A, rapid depressurization of a KER loop

Description: Proposed fuel element loading and operating conditions for this test are tabulated. The loading is designed to provide high tube power and near-maximum-allowable coolant outlet temperature, accompanied by low fuel surface heat fluxes. Conditions which would exist during the proposed test were compared with those during the rapid depressurization incident in KER-2 on Jan. 31, 1960.
