A description is given of methods used for data reduction and post-processing of reduced data for the 1/5-scale Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Mark I pressure suppression experiment. Output from approximately 200 transducers, recorded onto analog magnetic tape, were reduced to engineering quantities with an analog-to-digital, COBOL-like conversion code. The reduced data were analyzed with conversational FORTRAN codes and mass-processed for reports with batch-processing FORTRAN codes.

A forecast for solar-trained manpower needs was produced based on projected demand for solar systems and manpower requirement for solar systems. A skills analysis was made to determine the types of training required to produce manpower capable of performing the tasks identified in the task analysis. (MHR)

An indirect method for estimating the inventory of a uranium enrichment cascade which presumably can be performed by the International Atomic Energy Agency within the Non-Proliferation Treaty limitations on its safeguards activities was devised and tested at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP). This method involves the feeding of a cascade with uranium that is significantly richer in one component than the normal cascade feed for a short period of time, and the measurement of the subsequent transient concentrations of this component in the cascade withdrawal streams. The inventory estimate is then obtained from a comparison of the observed data with parallel data calculated for an appropriate but non-identical cascade model. The validity of the method is demonstrated numerically by parallel calculations made for two nearly ideal hypothetical cascade models. A test of this method conducted in the ORGDP cascade, utilizing U-236 as the spike component, yielded an estimate of the cascade inventory greater by 3.0% than that determined by the usual measurement method. The proposed method has been devised for use at enrichment plants that are subject to safeguarding by the IAEA and for which the proprietors will permit the inventories to be known. The method does not …

The Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) is currently involved as the focal point of an inter-laboratory effort to estimate the enviornmental effects of operating a nuclear preprocessing facility. As a part of this effort SRL has assumed the responsibility of providing estimates of population exposure resulting form radioactive discharges to the atmosphere. This responsibility does not include contributions from drinking water and food ingestion which are being estimated by Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL), two of the participating laboratories for the overall environmental effects study. The SRL effort in exposure estimation is confined to contributions resulting from immersion in contaminated air and external beta and gamma dose from exposure to contaminated ground. Population exposure resulting from immersion in contaminated air traditionally have been given more attention. A primary objective of this report is to develop a technique to provide an adequate estimation of population dose resulting from gound depositions and to establish the relative importance of the contributing factors. This report was written in 1978, and has been identified as information for the Dose Reconstruction Project.
