Improvements to Task 1 and Task 2 234-5 Building

In the P234-5 Building operation, Task I consists of converting plutonium nitrate solution received from the primary separations plants to a plutonium oxalate slurry. The slurry is filtered and the filter cake is transferred to Task II while the filtrate is treated and returned for further processing in either Recuplex, Redox, or Purex. The basic Task II process consists of calcining the plutonium oxalate cake to form plutonium dioxide. The plutonium dioxide is then fluorinated to form plutonium tetrafluoride which is transferred to Task III for further processing. Various alternate schemes for increasing production have been studied by the Technical and Design Sections during the past several months. The results of these studies are available in references (10) and (11). It is the purpose of this document to describe in detail the new equipment required for replacing Task I and II and to serve as a basis for detailed design of the proposed project.

Mixing in a river (open access)

Mixing in a river

Many rivers are burdened with tributary streams of warm water and/or liquid wastes containing dissolved or suspended matter. The warm water and waste matter mix thoroughly with the river water some distance downstream from the point of entry of the tributary, but near the point of entry there may be high local temperatures or concentrations of waste. It is often necessary to know the local temperatures or concentrations of waste. The authors have used a formula for computing the turbulent mixing that takes place in such a situation; this formula fits quite well in the case of one Southern river.

Report of trip to Los Alamos, Albuquerque Operations Office, and ACF Industries, September 17--19, 1956 (open access)

Report of trip to Los Alamos, Albuquerque Operations Office, and ACF Industries, September 17--19, 1956

This report describes travel to Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory September 17, and 19, ALOO and ACF Industries, Inc. At Los Alamos the principal subjects discussed were reservoir design, and reservoir shipping specifications. In Albuquerque a meeting was held with Albuquerque Operations Office personnel to discuss design and procurement of shipping containers, followed by discussions with ACF of reservoir fabrication and testing.

Venturi throat diameter and process tube connector cavitation analysis CG-654 (open access)

Venturi throat diameter and process tube connector cavitation analysis CG-654

When a ``K`` type process tube is operated without a slug column, damage may take place in the connector because of the cavitation that originates in the venturi. Reported here is a study of this cavitation problem as related to CG-654 operating conditions. A series of curves were developed to present the effect of the venturi diameter on the venturi {Delta}P for instrument operation and on the cavitation problem at the higher flows which are experienced when the tube is operated without a slug column.
