NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF STAINLESS-CARBON STEEL WELDS. CORE I, SEED 2. Section 2. Test Results T-641300

Description: Results are presented which lead to the conclusion that all the welds that were radiographed appear to be satisfactory for continued use in the plant except in the 1A reactor coolant loop drain weld. The radiograph of this weld indicates the presence of a 3/8 in. transverse defect. The majority of the welds showed indications of porosity. (J.R.D.)

CHARGING AND DISCHARGING OF DEMINERALIZER RESINS. CORE I, SEED 2. Test Results (T-612085). Section 1

Description: An investigation was conducted to flush the 1BD coolant purification system demineralizer of resin and to measurc the radiation level at pornts on the resin discharge line. It was found that the system demineralizer was satisfactorily flushed of resin. It was also found that the amount removed is measured by the amount required to recharge the demineralizer. (J.R.D.)

Proposal for charging heat treatment test elements GEH-10-44 & 45

Description: The objective of this irradiation is to determine the differences in irradiation behavior; typified by dimensional changes, surface roughness, and overall distortion; resulting from elements of similar fabrication history but different beta heat treating schedule. The fuel will be the inner tube only of an NPR fuel assembly. Both elements were heated in chloride salt at 730C; one was rapidly quenched and the other air cooled to obtain a wide variation in grain size and structure and residual st… more

Diffusion of Krypton Through Uranium Carbide - Final Report

Description: This program was established to develop new information concerning the mechanism of diffusion of fission gases (krypton and xenon) through UO2 and UC. The work was to concentrated on measurements of diffusion rates in unirradiated materials in the temperature range of 1000°C to above 2000°C, these determinations being important to the projected use of refractory fuel materials in high-temperature, high-burnup reactors.

Plutonium Release Incident at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Description: A nonnuclear explosion involving an evaporator occurred in a shielded cell in the Radiochemical Processing Pilot plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Plutonium released from the processing cell contaminated areas in the pilot plant building and nearby streets and building surfaces. The explosion is considered the result of rapid reaction of nitrated organic compounds formed by the inadvertent nitration of about 14 liters of a proprietary decontaminating reagent.
