Carbon dioxide for pH adjustment 100-K Reactors

Description: This report presents the results of a recent analysis to determine if there is a practical method for using carbon dioxide for pH adjustment at the 100-K Reactors. Carbon dioxide could be recovered from the boiler stack gas and introduced into the K Reactor process water. The approximately $240,000 installation cost would be repaid in about one year by the reduction of sulfuric acid costs. The proposed system would consist of a blower, a purification system, and a distribution system for conduc… more

Developmental Test of Snap 10A Resistance Thermometers in a Copper Block Attachment Configuration

Description: The results of the RTD calibration at temperatures of 1000°F and the thermal cycling at this elevated temperature indicated the temperature transducers may be operated in this environment without a serious compromise in the accuracy of reliability for relatively short periods of time to meet the requirements of this test endeavor. The calibration change which was observed was with the 3°F inherent uncertainty in the measurement and could not be identified as degradation.

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

Estimates of river dilution factors from upstream reactors

Description: This documents contains a table has been prepared to assist in the evaluation of hazards to occupants of the Wahluke Slope associated with radioactive liquids discharged to the river in the event of reactor accidents. Concentration ratios have been estimated for both the maximum point in the river as well as along the shoreline opposite the reactors for several locations of potential interest and for reactors in B, K, and D Areas. The shoreline concentrations apply to water up to 25 yards from … more

Fabrication of hot die sized diffusion bonded fuel elements from oil and water quenched cores for production test IP-708-A

Description: The hot die sizing (HDS) process is being considered as a replacement for the existing AlSi brazing process. Fuel cores are clad by passing a preheated core-component assembly through a die to bond the outside surface. Concurrently, the assembly is passed over a die plug to bond the internal surface. End bonding is accomplished in a following step by applying heat and pressure to the sized fuel element. Remaining fabrication steps are essentially the same as those used for AlSi brazed fuel. Ini… more
