RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT. SECTION I. USE OF INTRINSIC RADIOACTIVE TRACERS FOR PROCESS CONTROL. SECTION II. RADIATION-INDUCED GRAFT-POLYMERIZATION STUDIES

Description: Research was continued in the areas of intrinsic radioactive tracers for industrial process control and the influence of structural factors in radiation- induced graft polymerization. The use of in-process isotope neutron soarces to produce short-lived radiotraces is discussed. A 10c Po--Be neutron source was obtained for exploratory experiments. The design and construction of a neutronsource storage shield and an activatioa-cell holder are underway. The effect of structural factors oii the eIf… more

THE EFFECTS OF INTERNAL HEAT GENERATION ON POT CALCINATION RATES FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTES

Description: Methods by which the radial deposition mechanism was determined in experiments with simulated waste solutions are reviewed. Based on this mechanism, an expression for the rate of solid deposition with internal heat generation was developed by a combined heat and material balance. A sample calculation for Purex waste showed that a moderate heat generation rate of 5000 Btu/hr/ft/sup 3/ would decrease the time to fill a 12-in.-dia calcination vessel from 78 to 55 hr. For the calcination stage of t… more

Calculation of Doppler Coefficient and Other Safety Parameters for a Large Fast Oxide Reactor

Description: Several safety parameters are calculated for a large, fast, Na-cooled, oxide-fueled reactor. The Doppler coefficient is studied as regards its effect on the reactivity during a power excursion, and its dependence on the neutron spectrum, on the concentrations of U/sup 238/, Pu /sup 239/ , a nd Pu/sup 240/, on spatial temperature and power distributions, and on temperature. Other parameters studied include the Na temperature coefficient of reactivity, and the reactivity insertion caused by total… more

A STUDY OF RESONANCES OF THE Z-7r SYSTEM

Description: Recently a T = 1 resonance in the {Lambda}-{pi} system called Y{sub 1} has been observed with a mass of 1385 MeV. Two types of resonances have been predicted that might relate this observation to other elementary-particle interactions: (1) P 3/2 resonances in the {Lambda}-{pi} and {Sigma}-{pi} systems predicted by global symmetry, corresponding to the (3,2/ 3/2) resonance of the {pi}-N system, (2) a spin-1/2 Y-{pi} resonance resulting from a bound state in the {bar K}-N system. The position and… more

Critical mass control specifications: Hoods 7-C and 9-B

Description: This report discusses the critical mass control specifications for Hoods 7-C and 9-B have become obsolete due to needed storage within the confines of Hood 9-C, and equipment modifications. Nuclear safety in Hood 7-C and 9-B depends almost entirely on controlling the mass and geometry of the plutonium compounds not confined by the processing equipment. Generally, the processing vessels and associated piping are designed and arranged in the hood to be critically safe at full operating capacity. … more

Error analysis of the TAI equation

Description: There is a certain tolerance of error implicit in any calculation based upon measured physical data. Occasionally, the error is explicitly recognized by attaching a plus or minus variation to the calculated quantity. More often, however, the error is simply neglected. The present analysis was performed to quantify the error implicit in a typical TAI (Trip-After-Instability) limit calculation. This error results from the precision of measurement of each of the parameters used in the calculation … more
