Chemistry of Pu(IV) Polymer

Description: Pu(IV) polymer may form in solutions containing as much as 0.3 M acid at room temperature. At higher temperatures polymer may be formed at even higher acidities. Dilution of plutonium solutions with water can result in polymer formation due to local dilution of the acid even when the final equilibrated solution would be stable. The polymer may be destroyed in acid solutions by oxidation or reduction of the plutonium or by use of complexing agents.

The Origin and Nature of Radioactive Wastes in the Atomic Energy Program

Description: There is great uncertainty in defining the nature of radioactive wastes from power reactor fuel reprocessing since it is not yet possible to say which processing methods will be used. For this reason several approaches to the problem and the wastes associated with each are described here.

Radiation Stability of Organic Liquids. Semi-Annual Report No. 3 for 1 January to 30 June 1958

Description: When most solvents are exposed to radiation, decomposition occurs. The decomposition products may adversely affect the solvent extraction of uranium, thorium, or plutonium in a variety of ways. The research described in this report extends previous studies. The main items of interest are: (1) the roles of "radiation polymer" and dibutyl phosphoric acid in the plant problems of uranium retention and emulsification; (2) the effect of nitric acid upon the extent of radiation damage; (3) the radiat… more

Mechanisms of Surface Adsorption in Homogeneous Reactor Loops.Final Report for January 1, 1957 to June 30, 1958

Description: The work during the past six months, using radioisotopes, is summarized in detail, and earlier results are included as pertinent. Most of the research was performed in rocking autoclaves, using a uranyl sulfate solution and oxygen overpressure at 250 to 300 deg C. The conditions were chosen to simulate homogeneous reactor test conditions without elaborate apparatus and in a reproducible manner. The suspended solids and the deposits on type 347 stainless steel and Zircaloy-2 specimens were analy… more

Time Variation of Thermodynamic Parameters of a Gas in the Region of a Shock Front : Progress Report III

Description: The original goal of this investigation was to compare the thermodynamic characteristics of the gases in and behind the shock fronts in gases at initial pressures in the millimeter range and to compare these characteristics in the geometries of single and double discharges. The shock fronts were not visible, so it was not possible, at these pressures, to get visual data from the shock front itself. The parameters giving the properties of the gases were faces. Measurements made with an image con… more

Corrosion of INOR-8 and Inconel Dissolver Components of the Fluoride-Volatility Process

Description: The corrosion of INOR-8 and Inconel dissolver components used in the fluoride volatility process for the dissolution of zirconium with anhydrous HF in molten salts was investigated. Ten dissolution runs were made using simulated subassemblies formed from Zircoloy-2. The dissolver and components were made from INOR-8. Both the dissolver vessel and draft tube were examined several times during the series of runs. The solids which formed at different areas in the system were also analyzed. The res… more

Determination of Flux Levels in Neutron Detector Wells. Section II. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-242, T-641311

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the neutron flux level in a BF3 counter well during the second performance of DL-S-225. The measured activity of the irradiation brass bolt was due entirely to the radioactive decay of Zn65. The thermal neutron flux in the BF3 counter well during the second 1000 hour run was calculated to be 2.5 x 10(9) neutrons/cm2 sec.

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section III. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231, T-612394

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the radiation levels inside the concrete enclosures but outside the reactor plant containers after shutdown following plant power operation.

Leveling of Extraction Tool Crane Rails. Section I. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-246, FY-59-323

Description: The purpose of the test was to check the extraction crane rails in the area of the reactor pit for level and parallelism. The west extraction crane rail exceeded the allowed tolerance of 1/32 inch at only one location. The elevation of the north bumper was out of tolerance by 1/64 inch. The east extraction crane rail was consistently lower than the west rail by as much as 8/64 inch. The east rail was parallel with the west rail within allowable tolerances over the length tested except at one lo… more

Loss of Level in D/P Cell Reference Chambers. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-279 (RNI-23)

Description: The purpose of the test is to determine the reason for the decreases in the liquid levels of the reference chambers serving the reactor plant remote liquid level indicators. The remote gages and the local liquid level gages agreed closely for the Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Expansion Tank and the Coolant Discharge and Vent System flash tank and blow-off tank. There appeared to be no loss of water from the D/P cell reference chambers for these two systems over the period of the test. … more
