Report on Carbon-14 generation and release at some of the Hanford reactors

Description: The Hanford graphite-moderated reactors have an enclosed gas circulation system to maintain control of the composition of gas atmosphere in the graphite stack. This investigation was undertaken to answer several questions concerning the generation and release of Carbon-14 in the operation of these graphite moderated reactors. The principle question was: Will an increase in the nitrogen content of the reactor atmosphere increase the release of Carbon-14 sufficiently to create a health hazard. Ot… more

Irradiation analysis, production test IP-672, HAPO 238, irradiation of impacted UO{sub 2}-PuO{sub 2} fuel rod bundles in C reactor

Description: The loss of flow is considered as far as the flow to the inlet hydraulic connector, inlet plugging and water shutoff time. A mockup revealed no vibration of the fuel element bundles and at the low temperatures present there should be no problem of corrosion. Efforts to assure safety with plutonium in the fuel elements are noted. (GHH)

Loading and operating conditions for a charge of eight enriched single tube elements, PT IP-544-A, Supplement A

Description: Supplement A, Production Test IP-544-A authorized the irradiation of 1.6 per cent enriched single tube elements in KER-1 and -2 and specified certain limitations on the operating conditions for the elements. The test required that specific operating conditions and trip settings for particular loadings would be approved by the managers of Testing, Process, and Reactor Development and Process Technology Subsections prior to charging. The purpose of this document is to provide the process the tube… more

Cratering Experience With Chemical And Nuclear Explosives

Description: Over the past 13 years a considerable body of data on explosive cratering has been developed for application to nuclear excavation projects. These data were obtained from some ten cratering programs using chemical explosives (TNT or nitromethane) and seven nuclear cratering detonations. The types of media studied have ranged from marine muck to hard, dry basalt, although most effort has been devoted to craters in NTS desert alluvium and basalt. Considerable effort has also been devoted to the s… more

Sources of radioactivity

Description: This report is a summary of Hanford releases to the atmosphere of {sup 131}I, {sup 133}Xe, {sup 135}Xe, and tritium, during the period Sept. 1961 to Dec. 1963. The {sup 131}I released from the two separations plants stacks is measured continuously. Other potential sources of radioiodine to the atmosphere are also monitored, but the release rates from these other facilities are insignificant. The release rates of tritium, {sup 133}Xe, and {sup 135}Xe are not measured. The data presented for them… more
