Technical description of the new SS accountability program on the IBM-709 (open access)

Technical description of the new SS accountability program on the IBM-709

The SSA 100 program will compute the buildup and decay of SS materials, (gms Pu, U-235 burnout and uranium burnout) in fuel that has been irradiated in any of the Hanford reactors. The routine input data for the program are the IBM production records supplied by the Production Forecasting and Scheduling Operation. The purpose of this program is to compute and prepare an accurate accountabilty report with a minimum of manual effort. This can either be a report for fuel discharges from the reactors or a report of the entire month end reactor inventory. It is not the purpose of this report to describe in detail the data processing techniques used to provide the accountability reports, this will be left to the discretion of the SS Accountability Operation and the programer. The purpose of this report is to present (1) the technical methods that are fundamental to the program, (2) the necessary instructions that are necessary to make changes or include additional fuel data on the data tape and (3) the necessary instructions such that buildup and decay data can be obtained for fuel elements on a non-routine basis.

Technical bases for C-pile overbore test (open access)

Technical bases for C-pile overbore test

The production gains and economic evaluation of overboring has been extensively treated. In this document, the justification for a trial attempt at overboring C-Reactor was given. The overboring test, covered by two production tests (one or overboring and one for fuel irradiation), requires the integration of efforts of Equipment Development, Process and Reactor Development, Process Technology, Manufacturing, and the Fuels Preparation Department. In view of this, it appears prudent to collect in one place the current design numbers with a word of explanation regarding their derivation. To this end, this document is dedicated.

A Transistorized Reactivity Measurement System (open access)

A Transistorized Reactivity Measurement System

An all-transistor system has been developed to be used in measuring the reactivity of the reactor in the Sandia Engineering Reactor Facility. In operation, the system triggers a pulsed neutron source (PNS) in the reactor and counts the resulting neutron flux, thus giving a measure of the time constant of the reactor. The counting is done in eleven time-sequenced counting channels. The reactor time constant is a measure of the reactor reactivity.

Idaho Chemical Processing Plant Technical Progress Report for January- March 1960 (open access)

Idaho Chemical Processing Plant Technical Progress Report for January- March 1960

9 > ? ( ing schedule included MTR, ETR, and other aluminum-type fuels that were processed through the TBP headend at 75 to 100% of flowsheet rates and through the Hexone second and third cycle extraction system at up to l5O% of flowsheet values, achieving an over-all recovery of 99.60%. In carrying out basic studies on aqueous zirconium processing, results obtained during the potentiometric titration of zirconium-fluoride-nitric acid solutions with sodium hydroxide were explained by a mechanism in which the untitrated zirconium fluoride species is converted to a fluozirconate and further hydrolysis proceeds via a fluozirconate route. A modified Zirflex flowsheet for processing 2.5% U-Zr alloy fuels is proposed as a result of bench scale dissolution studies on unirradiated PWR plates that showed that dissolver solutions could be stabilized by adding aluminum nitrate and nitric acid. that higher ammonium fluoride concentrations increased the dissolution rate, that higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations lowered the dissolution rate and decreased solution stability, and that ammonia removal by boiling with or without air sparging had little effect on the reaction. Density curves for Zirflex solutions are reported. First tests of the pilot plant for continuous dissolution of zirconium-type elements have indicated that the dissolution rate …

A Transport Calculation of the HFIR Beam Hole Currents (open access)

A Transport Calculation of the HFIR Beam Hole Currents

An estimate was made of the beam hole currents to be expected from both the radial and tangential beam holes in the present HFIR design. The angular fluxes required for these calculation were determined by an 18-group, S8 transport calculation (SNG reactor code). Both type beam holes produced thermal neutron currents of 7.5 x 10^10 neutrons/cm^2 sec. at a power level of 100 Mw. The nonthermal component of the beam current was 7.0 x 10^10 and 4.5 x 10^10 neutrons/cm^2 -sec for the radial and tangential holes, respectively.
