Plant Process Surveillance System for N Reactor systems study. Rev.1 (open access)

Plant Process Surveillance System for N Reactor systems study. Rev.1

This Systems Study is submitted in accordance with the requirements of AEC Manual Chapter 1801, and proposes the procurement and implementation of a Plant Process Surveillance System for N Reactor. The envisioned system consists of instrumentation, data acquisition equipment, a digital computer, and input/output equipment. It is intended that the system will be a tool for reliable administration of safety limits and standards, simplification of plant operation, and reduction of operating costs by replacing the tasks of shift operations personnel, an instrument technician and a process engineer.

190-DR steam turbine backup adequacy report (open access)

190-DR steam turbine backup adequacy report

Because of the questionable performance of the 190-DR steam backup system during the power outage of April 6, 1962, it is felt that a general review of the DR secondary water system capabilities and the standby status of the pumping units is warranted. This report shall briefly describe the performance of the steam backup system during the April 6 power outage and the subsequent power outage of July 10, 1962. Since the former outage, tests have been conducted on the steam pump units to determine their capabilities; the test results are presented in this report. A statement of the generally accepted criteria for secondary coolant system adequacy is included and recommendations for meeting the criteria at DR reactor are presented.

An Automatic Lithium Drifting Apparatus for Silicon and Germanium Detectors (open access)

An Automatic Lithium Drifting Apparatus for Silicon and Germanium Detectors

Drifting a thick lithium-drifted counter (silicon and germanium) is a time-consuming operation that frequently results in a poor device, owing to inadequate knowledge of progress of the drifting operation. The drifting apparatus described here automatically controls the temperature of the detector that is being drifted to maintain the leakage current at a preselected value. While drifting proceeds, a continuous measurement is made of the distance of the lithium-drifted region from the opposite face of the wafer. When the drifted region reaches 30 mil or less from the back of the wafer a meter indicates the thickness of the undrifted region and, when this thickness falls below a preselected value, the temperature of the detector is automatically reduced to room temperature. The need for constant supervision of the drifting operation is thereby eliminated, and reliance on theoretical drift-rate calculations to predict the drift-through time is avoided. The technique has been applied to the manufacture of lithium-drifted silicon detectors with excellent results. The application of the technique to lithium-drifted germanium {gamma} detectors is also discussed briefly.

Plutonium concentration and storage, engineering study for Purex L-Cell Package replacement (open access)

Plutonium concentration and storage, engineering study for Purex L-Cell Package replacement

The Purex L-Cell Package is used for organic stripping and concentrating aqueous plutonium solutions from the final Pu solvent extraction decontamination cycle. At the present time the package is used only during times when the gamma activity of the final product is too high to permit routing the solution to N Cell for final ion-exchange purification or when N Cell is inoperative. The package can be used only to concentrate and then route solutions to the PR Room for loadout into PR cans for storage prior to rework via TK-E6. In addition, operating data have shown that the present package has a low boil-off capacity which is insufficient for both current and forecasted plant production rates. At the present time, flowsheet modifications and processing rate reductions are necessary when the package is in operation. Entry into L Cell and contact maintenance are required to maintain the present package which was installed in 1956. Repairs to the package were made in 1962, and information obtained at that time indicates that extensive repairs to the present package will be required in the near future. The purpose of this report is to present the engineering study for the required modifications to the package …

100-N Decontamination Facility Design Guide.

Space has been reserved near the southeast corner of the 100-N Area for the 122-N Decontamination Facility. Previous correspondence between Burns and Roe, Inc and General Electric bae discussed various facilities which might be needed in the building. The concepts of the decontamination processes are under active development by research groups at Hanford. At present, there are several workable processes known; each one has one or more fairly serious drawbacks.
