Photographic film as a pocket radiation dosimeter (open access)

Photographic film as a pocket radiation dosimeter

The energy dependence of film blackening is discussed and shown graphically. The exposure range of films is discussed, and blackening is plotted vs exposure for DuPont No. 502, and for the less sensitive DuPont No. 351. A plan is then described for monitoring radiation exposure to workers by requiring the worker to carry an x-ray film of dental packet size in a badge designed for the purpose. (LEW)

Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases (open access)

Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases

The radio-active xenon and iodine evolved during the dissolution of the uranium may present a health hazard within certain areas around the base of the stack through which the dissolver off-gases are discharged. Since the concentration of these elements in the uranium metal is directly proportional to the power of the pile* and is related to decay period of the metal in accordance with their half-lifes, the maximum rate of discharge of these elements from the stack at H.E.W. can be estimated form existing Clinton data. The required wind dilution to reduce the discharging activation to tolerance levels can then be calculated. The time with respect to the start of the metal dissolution at which the maximum rates of discharge will be attained can also be roughly estimated form existing Clinton data. 3 figs., 3 tabs.

Cooling water requirements in 212 buildings (open access)

Cooling water requirements in 212 buildings

This document provides plots of expected rates of heat evolution rates of heat evolution from irradiated metal which may be useful in estimating the cooling water flow required in the the 212 buildings. A comparison of three sources of data found in the Project Handbook is provided. The CN 526 calculations agree very well with the estimates of 16, 32 and 64 days decay periods. CN 526 information was used for calculating the heat evolution rates shown in the following figures, since the data does not cover decay periods under 16 days, and does not include the 93{sup 239} contribution. The expected BTU/Min.(Ton) heat liberation rate vs. cooling time in days for through operating periods is shown. The operating level is taken as 2000 KW/Ton; the BTU/Min.(Ton) liberated may be scaled to higher or lower operating levels by arithmetic ratio. A similar curve in which the cooling water required (GPM/Ton) is substituted for BTU/Min.(Ton) is provided. The metric ton and a water temperature rise of 25{degree}C (45{degree}F) are assumed. The product content of the metal has been substituted for operating level in another plot. The rate of heat evolution is plotted against decay period for various operating times. A base …

Hanford Engineer Works monthly report, July 1944 (open access)

Hanford Engineer Works monthly report, July 1944

This progress report discusses activities at Hanford Engineer Works for the month of July, 1944. The organization size increased rapidly in July, jumping from 1384 to 1886, an increase of 502 employees. Shortages existed on special lines such as electricians, instrument mechanics, and power operators. The opportunities to interview and employ Construction personnel improved as the Construction, organization moved past its peak employment figure. 269 houses were completed in Richland and 370 occupancies were reported, reducing the backlog of empty houses due to slow furniture movements. A total of 1530 houses or 35.6% of the village is now occupied. The overall canning yield increased from 63% to 75% while production leveled off at approximately two-thirds of design capacity. The metal machining operation and the test pile operated on a one shift-six day per week basis. The portion of the 100-B Area from the pump house through the filter plant and including the Power House was taken over by Operations on July 25. The Power House in the 200-W Area was started and flushing of process lines with water and steam got under way in the canyon. A new department was formed to control the Protection activities of the plant.
