Transient thermal-hydraulic experiments: N-Reactor inlet connector break

Description: An N-Reactor inlet connector piping break was investigated in a laboratory study to determine the effect of this break on the affected process tube`s thermal-hydraulic performance. A full-scale mock-up of the piping between the inlet and outlet risers was used which included actual reactor valves and fittings. An electrically heated half-length section which was equivalent to the downstream half of the reactor fuel column was used to model the heat-generating portion. The simulation of the conn… more

Authorization request for potential non-compliance with the American Standard Safety Code for Elevators Dumbwaiters and Escalators

Description: A Third Party inspection of the reactor work platforms was conducted by representatives of the Travelers Insurance Company in 1958. An inspection report submitted by these representatives described hazardous conditions noted and presented a series of recommendations to improve the operational safety of the systems. Project CGI-960, ``C`` & ``D`` Work Platform Safety Improvements -- All Reactors, vas initiated to modify the platforms in compliance with the Third Party recommendations. The Americ… 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

The Concentration Dependence of Zeolitic Sorption

Description: The concentration dependence of sorption rates of selected gases on chabazite has been determined and interpreted in terms of the various rate controlling mechanisms present. Argon and several other gases exhibit concentration independent activated diffusion into the bulk of the zeolite. Freon 21 occupies only the pores or crevices of the mineral, and the rates are controlled by Knudsen or gaseous bulk diffusion, depending on the concentration range. Finally, carbon dioxide sorption rates stron… more

Production test IP-695-AC thorium oxide irradiation -- K Reactors

Description: Irradiation of thorium for the production of ``clean`` U-233 at HAPO began in CY 1963. Several small-scale tests, involving from gram-size quantities up to a few elements, were successfully conducted; the results from these tests, coupled with theoretical predictions, indicated the desirability of further investigation. The objectives of this test are to (1) authorize the irradiation of about two tons of thorium oxide target elements in central zone process tubes of KE Reactor, (2) determine th… more

EG&G Rover progress report for 1-31 January 1964. Report No. L-64

Description: This report describes EG&G activities in support of the Rover Program for the month of January, 1964. Details are discussed in succeeding sections and in the appendices with respect to the various tasks included in our scope of work. At Test Cell A., the Facility Mapping Test, EP-IV, was success- fully completed. Preparation continued for the NRX-AL program scheduled for February, 1964. At Test Cell C., a high flow acoustics test, EP- 1, was conducted. This was the last experimental plan to be … more

Reactivity measurements of various target elements

Description: The amount of enriched uranium to support various type of target elements was determined in the Hanford Test Reactor. This report describes the measurement of separate and striped loadings for canned thorium oxide, bismuth, lithium-aluminum, and, in addition, bare depleted uranium. This experiment was undertaken to provide information needed to estimate the E-metal requirements in a production reactor when replacing natural uranium with target material. The amount of enriched uranium which is r… more
