Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period July 1 - December 31, 1962 (open access)

Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period July 1 - December 31, 1962

This technical report describes development work done on zonal centrifuge systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant during the period July 1 to December 31, 1962 under the Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program. A basic purpose of this project is to develop new methods for isolating virus particles associated with cancerous cells and tissues. Three classes of rotor systems capable of separating particles ranging in size from whole animal or plant cells to protein or nucleic acid molecules on the basis of either sedimentation rate or density alone have been developed. Experiments with phage particles indicate the feasibility of large-scale virus isolation by continuous-flow centrifugation, followed by isopycnic banding in cesium chloride and velocity sedimentation in sucrose - all steps being carried out sequentially in the same rotor. Zonal rotors using the reorienting gradient principle for molecular separations have been tested to 141,000 rpm (formula). Previous work on zonal centrifugation and future plans for this program are discussed.

The Sequential Analysis of Ten Nuclides Occurring in Long Range Fallout Debris

Abstract : Methods for the chemical separation of strontium, barium, cesium, cerium, yttrium, zirconium, niobium, and tungsten from complex matrices are described. Procedures for the radiometric determination of the longer-lived isotopes of these elements are outlined. Inert carriers are added and the sample is dissolved by fusion with sodium carbonate. The melt is leached first with water and then with hydrochloric acid. The elements are recovered from these fractions by a series of wet chemical and ion exchange procedures, and gravimetric and radiometric determinations performed.

HLNC calibration and application to waste measurement (open access)

HLNC calibration and application to waste measurement

This paper addresses problems of calibration and estimation of a parameter, p{sub o}, in high level neutron coincidence counting (HLNC) measurement. The presentation begins with a deductive approach, based on the generally accepted physical equations which are satisfied by the total and coincidence count rates. A new approach for the estimation of p{sub o} via measurement and a new calibration procedure consistent with the physical theory of coincidence counting measurement are presented. The approach is compared with the existing conventional approach in which possible inconsistency with the theoretical model is shown. In addition, the original model for neutron coincidence counting in a multiplying medium was extended to simultaneously account for the possible presence of poison, as well as for the neutron detection. The equations suitable for the data analysis of measurement of waste and their criteria are given.

Seismic Response Prediction of Nupec's Field Model Tests of Npp Structures With Adjacent Building Effect. (open access)

Seismic Response Prediction of Nupec's Field Model Tests of Npp Structures With Adjacent Building Effect.

As part of a verification test program for seismic analysis computer codes for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) structures, the Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (NUPEC) of Japan has conducted a series of field model tests to address the dynamic cross interaction (DCI) effect on the seismic response of NPP structures built in close proximity to each other. The program provided field data to study the methodologies commonly associated with seismic analyses considering the DCI effect. As part of a collaborative program between the United States and Japan on seismic issues related to NPP applications, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sponsored a program at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to perform independent seismic analyses which applied common analysis procedures to predict the building response to recorded earthquake events for the test models with DCI effect. In this study, two large-scale DCI test model configurations were analyzed: (1) twin reactor buildings in close proximity and (2) adjacent reactor and turbine buildings. This paper describes the NUPEC DCI test models, the BNL analysis using the SASSI 2000 program, and comparisons between the BNL analysis results and recorded field responses. To account for large variability in the soil properties, the conventional approach of computing seismic responses …
