Acceleration of Deuterons or Alpha Particles in the AGS

Description: The magnetic field of the AGS ring can contain particles of magnetic rigidity about 34 Bv/c. This includes not only protons of kinetic energy 33 Bev, but also 32 Bev deuterons, 64 Bev alpha particles, and conceivably heavier nuclei such as 188 Bev carbon nuclei. It will be shown in this paper that such nuclei can be injected and accelerated in the AGS if some rather small modifications are made in the injection and acceleration systems. What physics could be done with such beams? Several types … more

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, July-September 1962

Description: Aqueous zirconium fuel processing studies, directed at adapting the hydrofluoric acid process to continuous dissolution-complexing in order to increase the capacity of the ICPP process, resulted in two successful approaches to the complexing-feed adjustment step. Continuous in-line adjustment (conversion of uranium(IV) to uranium(VI) necessary for extraction) was accomplished in one minute or less at approximately 90 deg C; surges of dissolver product from the operating dissolver up to 1.9 time… more

HAPO IB Fission Product Shipping Cask Design Evaluation Report

Description: As a result of the interest in fission products for use as heat sources and/or radiation sources, in early 1960. Hanford was authorized to supply a semi-refined cerium-144 rare earth product to Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Facilities were installed for collecting this product and a cask war designed for shipping this product as a stabilized, dry powder. Since that time, numerous improvements have been made in the design of the HAPO I cask as described in Revision O of this document. In add… more

Heavy Element Isotopic Analysis of UIO$sub 2$ Fuel Irradiated in the VBWR. Report No. 1

Description: Slightly enriched UO/sub 2/ fuel, irradiated in the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor (VBWR), with exposures ranging from 100 Mwd/t to 3200 Mwd/t was analyzed for heavy element isotopic composition and compared with computed data. The primary objective of this program is to obtain improved data on the changes in nuclear characteristics with burnup of UO/sub 2/ fuel in a boiling water reactor. This information is important in both evaluating the economics of a given reactor design and also in pro… more

Phase Transformations in Calcination of Nitrates of Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Nichrome

Description: Earlier studies showed that low concentrations of boric acid inhibit the formation of alpha alumina in the fluidized calcination of aluminum nitrate wastes. Studies designed to determine the optimum concentration of boric acid and the relative effectiveness of phosphoric acid were performed by heating synthetic mixtures at moderate pressure; results indicared that they were equally effective at the same molal concentration. Differential thermal analysis of mixtures showed that the boric acid re… more

Differential Neutron Thermalization. Annual Summary Report, October 1, 1961 Through September 30, 1962

Description: Experimental and theoretical work on the interaction mechanisms by which neutrons exchange energy with H atoms involves treating neutron thermalization as neutron interactions with energy levels in the atoms. Cold moderators are presently being studied in order to optimize the source of cold neutrons. Cold neutrons are provided from an accelerator arrangement that directs electrons against a Fansteel target producing fast neutrons. Thermal neutrons, produced by moderation of fast neutrons, are … more

Draft Rift Hazards Summary Review

Description: This document presents the Westinghouse Astronuclear Laboratory contribution to the RIFT flight safety review. While the presented herein is the best data that exists at this time, it can not be considered the final data. In consideration of the extremely dynamic nature of the program , it is intended to issue periodic revisions reporting new developments in the Westinghouse program.

Fever--A One-Dimensional Few-Group Depletion Program for Reactor Analysis

Description: The one-dimensional difiusion-theory depletion program FEVER, written in FORTRAN-II for a 32,000-word computer is described. The code allows for the representation of self-shielded burnable poisons and provides methods for automatically adjusting control poisons in various regions of the reactor according to some specified sequence. No intermediate tape manipulation is required during the calculations, since all program and data storage are contained in the fast memory of the computer. Informat… more

Instrumentation studies, Status report 2 (High level rate-of-rise)

Description: The purpose of this document is to present the latest results of a continuing instrumentation study being conducted by Research and Engineering. In a previous report results of 1-and 6-node calculations, for percentage- and fixed temperature-trip instrumentation were presented. These results were used to obtain a general understanding of the problem and to assess the value of using a multinodal approach. Calculations to determine the amount of protection provided by linear rate and period instr… more

Calculated fission product release from PRTR rupture

Description: Approximately 15 minutes after shutdown on August 21, 1962, evidence of a rupture was observed in the form of high radiation levels in the containment vessel and rupture monitor indications. Discharge of a special MgO-PuO{sub 2} test element revealed a cladding break of about 1.5 inches in length and about 1/4 inch wide in the widest place, located 36 inches from the top of the fuel element as it would have been oriented in the reactor. A visual examination in Radiometallurgy revealed that appr… more

Low Temperature Polymorphic Transformations of Calcined Alumina

Description: The factors which affect the transformation of amorphous alumina to crystalline alumina in the temperature range 350 to 650/sup 0/C were studied. Amorphous alumina, with small amounts of added impurities, was heated in an atmosphere containing the oxides of nitrogen, air, and water vapor, and the amount of crystalline alumina was determined. Alpha alumina was the predominant crystalline form after heating amorphous alumina that was prepared in a fluid bed calciner. The effects of temperature, c… more

A METALLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF GAS BEHAVIOR IN URANIUM IRRADIATED WITH ALPHA PARTICLES

Description: The behavior of helium in uranium and in several uranium alloys was studied metallographically after room temperature irradiation with alpha particles in a cyclotron, followed by various heat treatments. The observed gas bubbles were classified in two classes, differing in size, concentration, and mechanism of formation. These bubbles appear to resemble those resulting from fission product gases in neutron-irradiated uranium; the findings of this study seem to be applicable to the understanding… more
