Corrosive Effects of Heavy Metal Ions on Aluminum (open access)

Corrosive Effects of Heavy Metal Ions on Aluminum

From summary: The object of the study was to determine if the heavy metal ions within the concentration ranges normally found in pile cooling water were responsible for corrosion of aluminum.

Investigation of Explosive Characteristics of Purex Solvent Decomposition Products (Red Oil) (open access)

Investigation of Explosive Characteristics of Purex Solvent Decomposition Products (Red Oil)

Abstract: "Laboratory production of an explosion between UNH and "red oil" under calcination conditions has been accomplished. Attempted production of a vapor phase explosion was unsuccessful below 150-160 C. Since such severe conditions are necessary to obtain an explosive reaction, it appears that present Purex plant design is adequate to avoid explosive conditions."

Quarterly Report Technology of Non-Production Reactor Fuels Reprocessing Budget Activity 2790 (open access)

Quarterly Report Technology of Non-Production Reactor Fuels Reprocessing Budget Activity 2790

This report summarizes the research and development work carried out during June, July, and August, 1959, for Budget Activity 2790- Separations Development for Non-Production Reactors. The effort on Activity 2790 - Separations Development for Non-Production Reactors. The effort on Activity 2790 will enable Hanford to begin reprocessing in January, 1962, the fuel elements from power reactors which employ depleted or slightly enriched uranium fuels.

Reamed Rear Face Parker Fitting (open access)

Reamed Rear Face Parker Fitting

A study and tests of the feasibility and best method of reaming rear face Parker fittings has been made. Flow increase of 8 percent, based on maintaining the same front header pressure, can be obtained at B, D, and F reactors by reaming the rear Parker fittings to .610 inch and using existing rear face hardware. Tests indicate mechanical strength will not be significantly reduced, high frequency vibration will not be increased, and that methods of reaming are available.
