In-link Alpha Monitor Prototype Performance (open access)

In-link Alpha Monitor Prototype Performance

This report summarizes the operational experience and the data obtained on the 2AW Purex type process stream. The performance of an in-line alpha monitor for continuously monitoring Plutonium in Purex Process waste streams is described. The instrument has a lower limit of measurement of 1 x 10⁻⁶ grams of Plutonium per liter and can measure concentrations as high as 7.9 x 10⁻² grams/liter.

Investigation of the Causes of Weld Rejects (open access)

Investigation of the Causes of Weld Rejects

Weld rejects have accounted for a large percent of the total rejects in the production of fuel elements, and consequently, the investigation of the causes of these rejects was a desirable undertaking. Although previous investigations had made possible a satisfactory standardization of the welding process, it was felt of value to more sharply define the causes of weld rejects and to facilitate the control of these causes.
