The Application of Tracer Techniques to the Determination of Uranium Extraction Coefficients (open access)

The Application of Tracer Techniques to the Determination of Uranium Extraction Coefficients

Abstract: This report deals with the development of a method using tracer technique for determining uranium extraction coefficients on solutions of low uranium concentration. It was found that extraction coefficients could be determined on systems containing as low as one part per million uranium using 1900 level uranium as the tracer. Results of several extraction series are presented in which aluminum nitrate is used as the salting agent and dibutyl carbitol the organic extractant.

Dependence of Thermal Utilization and Resonance Escape Probability Upon Fuel Element Density in D₂O Cooled and Moderated Systems (open access)

Dependence of Thermal Utilization and Resonance Escape Probability Upon Fuel Element Density in D₂O Cooled and Moderated Systems

Abstract: "The effect of variation in fuel element density upon f, p in a D2O cooled and moderated lattice of cylindrical fuel elements is investigated. The CP-3 lattice is chosen as a reference. The effect of a source term in the fuel element is considered. f, p are calculated as functions of "a", the ratio of the modified fuel element density to the original (fuel only) density. Curves showing f(a), p(a) are included. It is concluded that a 1 per cent decrease in the product, f(d), p(a) is not suffered until a=0.3. A 5 per cent decrease in k is estimated at a-0.4. The necessity of introducing the fuel element source term into the calculation after a has been decreased to about 0.6 is brought out."

Determination of Possible Failed Blanket Elements Using the FEDAL System. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-2810S, RNI-24

The purpose of the test was to determine if failed blanket elements exist in other regions of the core beside F-2. FEDAL sampling ports that have indicted the greatest deviation as determined in a statistical analysis performed on a number of traverses in the FEDAL system will be tested. Data obtained from the start up runs of the FEDAL sample port Nos. 11, 31, 36 and 37 of Monitor 2 and port Nos. 14, 46, 11, 49 and 7 of Monitor 1 gave no indications of a blanket element failure. At each power increase, the radiation increase was normal with no signs of bursts or peaks of radiation which would indication the failure of a blanket fuel element.

The Determination of Thorium in Uranium-Thorium Alloys, Using Cupferron (open access)

The Determination of Thorium in Uranium-Thorium Alloys, Using Cupferron

Technical report describing that the use of controlled amounts of carbonate, acting both as complexing agent buffer led to a fairly satisfactory procedure for the determination of Th in Th-U alloys, using cupferron. The alloy, dissolved in NHO2, in the presence of HF, is treated with H2SO4 and the mixture is evaporated in SO2 fumes. The solution is diluted and (NH4)2CO2 is added. Th is precipitated from this solution with cupferron. The precipitate is weighed as ThO2 after ignition. An accuracy of 6% was obtained. A method was developed specifically for the determination of Th in U-Th alloys containing 1 to 10% Th. An ion exchange resin in column is used to separate Th from U, with NH2OH-HCl as complexing agent. The Th is then precipitated, ignited, and weighed in the conventional manner.

Drilling in the Flatirons Locality, Monument Valley, Arizona

From introduction: A subsurface exploration program was undertaken to investigate the concentration of uranium and vanadium in or near the base of the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation in the Flatirons locality, and to develop criteria whereby adjacent unexplored areas could be evaluated as to potential production capacity from study of geological and mineralogical features at the host rook outcrop. An earlier study of the area by C. G. Evensen of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission had shown that geological conditions favorable to the accumulation of commercial uranium deposits were present in the Flatirons area.
