EG&G submits the following estimated cost at completion of the ETS-1 I&C System as represented by the approved, Reduced Design Package, the SNPO-C letter TSB:AL dated 30 January 1964 and the Approved Program Plan. A summary of this cost estimate and of previous cost estimates, is given. The total cost estimate is $5, 284, 000. While some items have individual costs which differ from those shown in SNPO-C letter of 30 January 1964, the total cost is consistent with that letter. Specifically, there is a greater proportion of equipment costs in this estimate than in the funding plan contained in the SNPO-C letter due to new equipment estimates from industry. We discuss the basis for the present cost estimate, and summarize options and leasing plans which will be exercised by the Government. We also discuss Facility Modification design and Miscellaneous Crafts Work, respectively. EG&G has only design responsibility for these latter two items. The cost estimates are best estimates, neither worst cases nor optimistic cases, and do not allow for contingencies. While contingencies have not been included in previous Cost at Completion Estimates, we believe that in the spirit of the second paragraph of SNPO-C letter dated 30 January 1964, …

We are pleased to enclose copies of our Work Statement and Cost Estimate as a subproject to your program to nondestructively inspect the fuels on your NASA-Lewis contract. This confirms our telephone call and teletype of November 19, 1965 from Mr. Chockie to you. As we understand, the duration of this agreement should extend over the next six or nine months and will probably include the inspection of one or two fuel elements singly; later on, three batches of five elements. Accordingly, we recommend that the program be established for a period of nine (9) months with an appropriation of $10,430, including the fixed fee of $660. The attached Estimated Costs sheets show estimated costs for inspection of one fuel element at one time and five fuel elements are one time. This estimate is on a CPFF best effort basis calling for the application of tests developed on our present NASA-Lewis program. No additional development costs are included in this program. Shipping of fuel elements between Columbus and Northwest to be prepared by Columbus.

This report discusses three natural uranium, X-8001 aluminum clad, I&E Hanford production fuel elements, which were irradiated in 3363-D as part of PT-IP-262-A, were selected for detailed examination in the Radiometallurgy Laboratory. The three pieces were from the same tube and each had lost about 15 grams of cladding during irradiation. Examination was requested to determine the extent of the corrosion and whether the attack was uniform or localized. Also, measurement of the uranium fuel was requested to reveal any change that occurred during irradiation. Corrosion was general rather than localized and occurred over approximately three-fourths of the surface. In each element. about one-fourth of the surface on one side was virtually unattacked and vas probably the area that lay between the ribs of the process tube during irradiation. In one element localized attack occurred beside two of the bumpers. External aluminum cladding thicknesses ranged from 0.020 to 0.043 inch. About 0.005 inch of the spire surface vas removed by corrosion. Both internal and external dimensions of the uranium increased. The average external diameter was 0.010 inch larger and the average internal diameter vas 0.011 inch larger than the average preirradiation diameter measurements. The growth vas not uniform as ellipticity …

A primary factor in assessing the impact on the biosphere of the discharge of heated reactor effluent to the Columbia River is the degree of initial dilution. Each of the reactor effluent lines discharges at the bottom of the river, approximately normal to the current, and near the main channel. As part of the Division of Production research and development program titled ``The Effects of Reactor Effluent on the Quality of Columbia River Water,`` the temperature measurements recorded in this document were taken over a period of several years. Generally, the exact locations of the ends of the effluent lines could not be determined from the river. The intent therefore was to determine the initial degree of dilution at the point where the mixed effluent first reached the surface, the so-called ``bubble,`` over a range of river flow-rates. A secondary goal was to determine the distance downstream (in quarter-mile increments) at which vertical mixing of the effluent streams could be considered complete. The data reported here have been partially reported previously and used in the development of a mathematical model of plume development. The purpose of this document is to provide a record of the field data in more detail …

The purpose of this supplement is to authorize charging the complete central zone core of H Reactor with the modified E-N charge makeup, installed as a 102-tube ``test core`` in the fifth loading. The potential economic and efficiency gains of a simplified charge pattern (a smaller average number of N pieces per tube and a minimum number of different charge types) were discussed in Supplement II to the parent PITA. Accordingly, a test block, consisting of 102 process channels in the center of the reactor, was included in the charging of the present (fifth) E-N core loading for the purpose of evaluation. Based on satisfactory preliminary confirmations of the calculated reactivity, front-to-rear flux distribution and other operating characteristics, extension to a full-scale core loading appears feasible. All resulting changes in pile reactivity and other operating variables will be minor and easily adjustable without significantly affecting operating efficiencies.

The Redox acid precycle flowsheet which has been in use since November of 1959 vas adopted to provide neptunium recovery. Although neptunium recovery on this flowsheet has been satisfactory, several problems have been encountered. Among these are: marginal uranium decontamination, increased hexone degradation and increased corrosion of precycle piping and equipment. To circumvent these problems an acid-deficient precycle flowsheet was proposed. In August, 1964, following replacement of the 1A Column and the D-14 backcycle concentrator, the Redox plant was started up on this flowsheet. Neptunium, which left the 2A Column in the waste stream was recovered by processing the waste stream through the 1S Column on an acid flowsheet. The neptunium, extracted in the 1S Column was stripped in the 10 Column and routed to the D-14 backcycle concentrator in the 10W stream. Using this flow pattern it was planned to accumulate neptunium in the D-14 and F-8 vessels-and the 1A, 1S and 10 Columns. Inadequate stripping of neptunium in the 10 Column with resultant neptunium losses to the waste stream necessitated abandoning this flow pattern and the neptunium stream from the 1S Column has been routed to the 2E Column with the 1A Column product stream. Neptunium is presently …

The meetings were held on December 6 and 7, 1965 in the 325 Building conference room at PNL. The objectives of the meetings were: (1) To review the status of the ceramic coproduct target element fabrication technology and the subsequent extraction processing technology of irradiated elements as developed at PNL. (2) To discuss the feasibility of performing extraction studies of irradiated coproduct target elements at the SRL pilot plant facilities in demonstrating the capability of coproduct production in N-Reactor. (3) To identify potential problem areas that could arise when the laboratory scale extraction process would be performed on a pilot plant scale in the existing SRL facility.

The results are reported of a literature search for information concerning the heterogeneous, gas phase, catalytic hydrogen-oxygen recombination. Laboratory scale experiments to test the performance of specific metal oxide catalysts under conditions simulating the atmosphere within a nuclear reactor containment vessel following a loss-of-coolant blowdown accident are suggested.
