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

Extruded Ceramic Nuclear Fuel Development Program. Final Report

Description: Urania rods 6-in. long and 0.475-in. in diameter were extruded and sintered to densities exceeding 94% of the theoratical urania density. The rods dropped freely through a straight metal tube 8-in. long with an internal diameter 0.004-in. greater than the diameter of the rods. All properties of the extruded and sintered rods relevant to their use as a nuclear fuel material were at least equal to the corresponding properties of pressed and sintered urania pellets. Extruded and sintered urania ro… more

Activity Build-Up Control by High pH Coolant. A Literature Survey

Description: A survey was made of unclassified literature dealing with the control of activity build-up in pressurized water reactors by high-pH coolants. Survey results indicate that a high-pH coolant is desirable for control of induced radioactivity build-up in pressurized water reactors containing significant amounts of stainless steel and that no significant hazards are introduced by adoption of a high-pH coolant. Lithium hydroxide was found to be the most acceptable agent for coolant pH control. Strong… more

The Zirflex Decladding of Tube-in-Tube Type Fuel Elements

Description: Pilot unit Zirflex dissolutions were carried out on near prototypical tube-in-tube type elements clad in oxidized Zircaloy. The runs were made with the elements horizontal and at simulated large scale operating conditions. No significant difference was noted between the actual decladding achieved in these experiments and that which was predicted from prior studies on similarly oxidized elements with somewhat different geometries. No gas blanketing nor diffusion effects were observed. Initially,… more

A Modular, Low-Cost, Sodium-Heated Steam Generator

Description: A proposed design and development program for a potentially economical, high-performance, sodium-heated steam generator is described. The concept employs modular units grouped together to provide for any combined power level desired. Fabrication expense is shown to be reduced by the reduction in heat transfer area requirements. This reduc, tion is achieved through improved heat transfer coefficients which exist under supercritical steam conditions. The testing of two small units ( approximates … more
