This report, from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO for October 1960, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations, facilities engineering; research; employee relations; and special separation processing and auxiliaries operation.

This document discusses the test program of evaluating the temperature effect of crud film build-up on fuel element heat generating surfaces in a carbon steel system. This program has three phases: Measurement of the effect of film build-up during normal high pH equilibrium operation; measurement of the temperature effect of film build-up subsequent to a loop decontamination; and measurement of the effect of film build-up in the event of loss of pH control.

In response to specific requests of the AEC and as part of a Combined Operations over-all review, a number of engineering studies have been made of alternative methods for increasing availabiltiy of neptunium at Hanford. The report updates an earlier study in which recycling of both natural and enriched uranium was considered for Hanford. The earlier study showed that recycled natural uranium would provide appreciable gains in neptunium availability but at an excessive cost. Recycle of the slightly enriched uranium streams proved a more economical means of realizing smaller but still significant gains in neptunium production. Subsequent to the earlier report, a feasible and immediately applicable scheme for UFI blending has been conceived demonstrating further advantages for recycling the enriched uranium. Approximately 34 kilograins of supplementary neptunium could be produced at Hanford during the next seven to eight years by upgrading irradiated E-metal and NPR uranium through a blending operation at Oak Ridge (rather than in the diffusion cascades) and then recycling the material through the Hanford reactors. (cf Table 1) Such a scheme would conserve uranium-236 for use as a source of neptunium-237 in the reactors without incurring major capital costs. Oak Ridge Operations personnel have estimated that capital …

This document is the third of a series of question and answer lists issued as a review of the material discussed in the Reactor Processing Fundamentals Course. Each document represents the material covered by the Reactor Specialists during a typical three-month training program. Each question is discussed individually and the entire list completed during the three-month session. Each three-month-training period is devoted to the complete discussion of a single chapter of the IPD Physics Primer series. The questions are compiled in a logical sequence with the material as presented in Chapter V of the Primer series control. As the course progresses, a certain amount of recall of earlier chapters is essential to a thorough knowledge of the specifics of reactivity and distribution control. Therefore the first half of this document consists of material previously presented in a slightly different manner. Basic points are stressed; the intent is, of course, that informative discussions lead to a better understanding of the material presented in the Primer.

The objective of this production test is to compare the dimensional and structural behavior of fuel elements with various heat treatments during irradiation at conditions similar to those anticipated for the NPR. Zircaloy-2 jacketed unalloyed natural uranium fuel elements of the same diametral dimensions an those anticipated for the N Reactor inner fuel tube, incorporating various heat treatments, will be irradiated to about 2000 MWD/T in the KER Loops. The elements will be enclosed in a Zircaloy-2 sleeve to provide a more balanced flow distribution through and around the pieces. An optimum heat treatment for N Reactor fuel elements providing minimum fuel distortion through control of uranium grain size and orientation has not been determined. This production test provides for the irradiation of fuel elements nearly equivalent to N Reactor inner tubes in size, geometry, and temperature conditions during irradiation. These elements have been subjected to varying heat treatments providing a range of grain sizes and degrees of orientation. Post-irradiation examination of the elements will show the fuel element distortion associated with each heat treatment and provide information on which to base further irradiation tenting in the development of a heat treating procedure for N Reactor fuel elements.
