Hanford Atomic Products Operation monthly report, June 1954 (open access)

Hanford Atomic Products Operation monthly report, June 1954

This document presents a summary of work and progress at the Hanford Engineer Works for June 1954. The report is divided into sections by department. A plant wide general summary is included at the beginning of the report, after which the departmental summaries begin. The Manufacturing Department reports plant statistics, and summaries for the Metal Preparation, Reactor and Separation sections. The Engineering Department`s section summaries work for the Technical, Design, and Project Sections. Costs for the various departments are presented in the Financial Department`s summary. The Medical, Radiological Sciences, Utilities and General Services, Employee and Public Relations, and Community Real Estate and Services departments have sections presenting their monthly statistics, work, progress, and summaries.

Nickel ferricyanide scavenging flowsheet for neutralized concentrated raw (open access)

Nickel ferricyanide scavenging flowsheet for neutralized concentrated raw

From the startup of the TBP Plant until late in September, 1954, when in-line scavenging operations were begun, the wastes from the TBP Plant had been stored after neutralization and concentration in underground storage tanks. Some of this TBP waste has been given a secondary concentration in the waste concentration facilities (first cycle waste evaporators) at the tank farms. Studies by the chemistry Unit have indicated that a further reduction in the volume of waste permanently stored is possible by scavenging these wastes. In this document, a chemical flowsheet is presented for use as a design basis of facilities which will permit scavenging of these stored wastes.

Separations Chemistry Quarterly Progress Report for October-December 1953 (open access)

Separations Chemistry Quarterly Progress Report for October-December 1953

Work has continued on high temperature methods for processing irradiated U fuel. Additional results have been obtained with fused halide treatment, solid scavengers, and direct Pu distillation. With fused fluorides about 95% of the Pu was removed from a U sample,whiletreatment of U with HCl gas removed almost all the Pu and many fission products. Treatment of molten U with UO/sub 2/ removed a substantial fraction of the fission products without removing Fu. Uranium carbide treatment results were similar to the oxide but not as effective. A small scale distillation of Pu from U showed that Raoult's law is obeyed. (auth)
