CALCULATIONS OF THERMAL-NEUTRON FLUX DISTRIBUTIONS IN CONCRETE-WALLED DUCTS USING AN ALBEDO MODEL WITH MONTE CARLO TECHNIQUES

Description: BS>When radiation shields are penetrated by ducts, the gamma rays resulting from the radiative capture of lowenergy neutrons in the duct walls can be principal contributors to the total dose along the duct. In order to calculate the effect of these capture gamma rays, the distribution of low-energy neutrons in the ducts must be known. This report presents calculations of low- energy neutron distributions in concrete-walled ducts by a method in which an albedo model and a Monte Carlo technique w… more

Precipitation of cerium sulfate

Description: Cerium sulfate purified by D2EHPA in Semiworks can be precipitated by adjusting pH to between 1 and 2 in tank 6 with 50% caustic. The solution can then be transferred through tank 1 to tank 67, where sodium bisulfate is added to make the solution 0.5M sulfate. A stoichiometric amount (mole for mole) of 50% caustic is added to just neutralize the sodium bisulfate. The precipitate is digested one hour at 60 C, then filtered.

Temperature calculations for a newly designed flexible HCR for the K Reactors

Description: The steadily increasing graphite stack distortion in the K Reactors has caused serious operating problems with the existing horizontal control rods. To compound the seriousness of the problems, the high level of reactor operation today and the anticipated higher level of operation in the future demands a reliable control rod system. A flexible control rod has been designed by Reactor Design, IPD, to facilitate reliable operation of the HCR system in spite of channel bowing arising from graphite… more

Fission product security problem

Description: Reference (2) requested that we review the possibilities that classified information might be revealed by isotopic composition of fission products, and suggest methods of making any such compositions. These questions have been reviewed thoroughly by Hanford Laboratories experts; their analysis confirms earlier conclusions (Reference 1). Based on current classification guides, isotopic compositions of cesium, promethium, and probably other rate earths could reveal secret information. Unless clas… more

K reactor mixer recommendation aluminum spline tubes

Description: Approximately 285 ribbed aluminum process tubes will have been installed in the central zone of each K reactor on completion of the zirconium tube replacement program. This report recommends the use of mixer fuel elements in the ribbed tube and discusses the basis for the recommendation. The recommendation is complicated by the fact that two tube designs having different dimensions will be used and the optimum mixer location for the two tube designs is different also.

SRE CORE III FUEL ELEMENTS THERMAL ANALYSIS

Description: The initial 30-Mw SRE Core III loading will contain a total of 33 fuel elements. Of these, the central 7 fuel elements are test elements and the remaining 26 are driver elements; 4 of the 7 test elements are designated as standard test elements. These elements are identical to the driver elements with the exception of the active fuel length. The remaining 3 test elements are designated as special test elements and incorporate fuel rods of smaller diameter and increased enrichment to obtain high… more

Stability of Beam in Radiofrequency System

Description: The stability of the circulating beam in a radiofrequency system with large beam loading is investigated. The results are applied to the 3-Bev electron-positron storage ring under design at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. It is found that for this type of system, in which there are no large transients, it should be possible to use most of the radiofrequency power to supply the radiation losses of the circulating beam and only dissipate a small fraction of the power in the r-f cavities.

Gamma-Ray Spectrometry of Neutron-Deficient Isotopes: Annual Progress Report, March 1964

Description: From abstract: "The objective of this program is to produce a set of pulse-height spectra representing the response of a standard gamma-ray scintillation spectrometer to radiations emitted in the decay of neutron-deficient nuclides."

The Equation Of State Of PBX 9404 And LX04-01

Description: The Chapman-Jouguet pressure and equation of state of the high explosives PBX 9404 and LX04-01 have been experimentally derived. To assure a strictly one-dimensional geometry, spheres of high explosives were used. Experimental measurements of the radius-time history of material accelerated by the explosive gases were used in conjunction with finite difference calculations of the hydrodynamic equations to obtain some previous inaccessible data on high explosives.

Measuring Rotary Table Angle Error

Description: The angle errors of a rotary table can be accurately measured by stepping off the angles with an optical caliper and computing table error from (1) the error readings at each angle measured and (2) the cumulative caliper error that will be evident when the circle is closed at 360', eliminating the necessity of adjusting the caliper to the exact setting.

N-Reactor co-product target element rupture detection study

Description: At present there seem to be some uncertainties concerning the needs of rupture detection for the co-producer programs Also in question is the method by which ruptures of the target elements should be detected and located. The purpose of this report is to discuss the waste and hazard control of tritium (H{sup 3}) (the product of the co-producer program), which will determine rupture detection needs, and to discuss methods by which rupture detection and location may be accomplished. The scope of … more

Ths Significance Of Beryllium Surface Contamination To Health

Description: Surface contamination with beryllium becomes a hazard to health only when the potential exists for resuspension in air in enough quantity and for enough time to exceed the prescribed standards for airborne exposures. There are several factors governing the rate and nature of resuspension phenomena. These factors include: the quantity and properties of the particular beryllium compound causing the contamination, the nature of the surface, activities in the vicinity, ventilation in the area which… more

Irradiation analysis, PT-IP-714: Irradiation of solid aluminum in KER-1, KER-2, KER-3, and KER-4 with process water cooling

Description: This production test authorizes the irradiation of full length charges of solid aluminum in the KER loops while on single-pass operation with process water cooling. Calculations show that the irradiations will not result in any foreseen reactor or personnel hazards and can be safely performed in the KER facilities.
