Radiation Damage to Vacuum Chamber Walls (open access)

Radiation Damage to Vacuum Chamber Walls

"The problem of radiation derange to the walls of two types of vacuum chamber for the 6 Bev Cambridge Electron Accelerator was studied. Radiation damage may arise from the synchrotron radiation and from electrons which are not accepted at injection. The synchrotron radiation produces a large amount of secondary x radiation which is isotropic, and therefore complicates the arrangement of internal shielding. The 20 Mev electrons from the lines cannot be attenuated by shielding. It is concluded that dosages of the order of 10/sup 7/ rad/day near the inflector are unavoidable. This would exceed the allowable dosage for a tube made by cementing a stainless steel liner to supporting ribs, and also exceed the test dosages (so far as we know) for alumina ceramics."

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section II. 4182-EFPH. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231 (T-612394) (open access)

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section II. 4182-EFPH. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231 (T-612394)

The purpose of the survey was to determine the radiation level in the Turbine Generator Services Building, around the Fuel Handling Canal, in the limited access areas of the reactor plant containers and on the boiler container roofs during plant operation. The test was performed with the plant at approximately 100 per cent power with three loops (1A, 1B, and 1C) in service. The radiation levels of the areas surveyed with a few exceptions were essentially background (.03 MR/HR). These exceptions were the Auxiliary Chamber and the limited access areas between the containers. The highest radiation level obtained in the survey was >2500 MR/HR at the reactor chamber walkway.

Frequency Components of a Step Function and a Sinusoid (open access)

Frequency Components of a Step Function and a Sinusoid

Fourier analyses are made on two functions. The first is a step function forward from periodic samples of a sinusoid. If the frequency of the sinusoid is less than one-half of the sampling frequency, it is shown that the step function has no frequency components less than one-half of the sampling frequency other than that of phase, and duration with respect to the interval of the analysis. It is shown that the insertion of a blank space in the period of analysis reduces greatly the uncertainty of the amplitude of the initial sinusoid as estimated from the results of the Fourier analysis. The results of the analyses are useful in the design and evaluation of certain analog data-analyzing systems.

Plasma Accumulation in a Device Fed by Energetic Ion Trapping (open access)

Plasma Accumulation in a Device Fed by Energetic Ion Trapping

Simon (1960) has given a general steady state theory of plasma accumulation (without energy losses) in an OGRA device. Such a device is fed by injection of energetic molecular ions which dissociate to produce trapped protons. Initial trapping is achieved by dissociation in the background gas. Such a device is usually characterized by a critical input current of critical plasma density (a function of input current) above which plasma density builds up to a value limited by Coulomb-scattering losses. For a regime of operation of current interest at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (600-kev hydrogen molecular ion injection and dissociation, highly efficient ion-pumping action of the trapped plasma), extremely simple approximate formulas have been derived which describe with a fair degree of accuracy the critical current of density for plasma build-up.

Plutonium Release Incident at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (open access)

Plutonium Release Incident at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A nonnuclear explosion involving an evaporator occurred in a shielded cell in the Radiochemical Processing Pilot plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Plutonium released from the processing cell contaminated areas in the pilot plant building and nearby streets and building surfaces. The explosion is considered the result of rapid reaction of nitrated organic compounds formed by the inadvertent nitration of about 14 liters of a proprietary decontaminating reagent.

Determination of Li6 in Aqueous Solution by Neutron Activation Analysis (open access)

Determination of Li6 in Aqueous Solution by Neutron Activation Analysis

A method for determining the concentration of Li6 in aqueous solution has been tested using the nuclear reactions Li6 (n,α)H3 and O16 (H3,n)F18. Annihilation 7 radiation of induced 1.87 hour F18 radioactivity was counted with a well-type scintillation counter, and the radioactivity per millimole of lithium was found to be independent of lithium concentration below about 0.2moles/liter. The sensitivity limit for detecting lithium is less than 0.1 micromole (0.0075 micromole Li6).

Solids Accumulation and Fission Heating in the HRT Chemical Plant Underflow Pot (Co-op Report, Fall Quarter, 1958) (open access)

Solids Accumulation and Fission Heating in the HRT Chemical Plant Underflow Pot (Co-op Report, Fall Quarter, 1958)

The purpose of this study was to develop equations for calculating fision product heating in the HRT-CP underflow pot from measured temperatures and to attempt to correlate the rat of solids accumulation in the underflow pot with fission heating and reactor power. Using fission heating data calculated from relating solids accumulation and heating have been tested. In one case an error of no greater than 26% was incurred in the calculation of the total weight of solids collected during chemical plant runs 17-4, 17-5, and 17-6. Further development work will be done on this correlation.

Thorium oxide Slurry Falling Ball Viscometer : Final Co-op Report, Winter, 1957 (open access)

Thorium oxide Slurry Falling Ball Viscometer : Final Co-op Report, Winter, 1957

A falling ball viscometer under development at ORNL, employing a flow system and an electromagnetically operated dash-pot pump, was evaluated for possible use with aqueous ThO2 slurry systems under reactor irradiation. Interchangeable check valve inserts were designed and fabricated to investigate several pump designs. Magnetic flux concentrations which originally prevented circulation of the ferritic stainless steel viscometer ball through the electromagnetic pump were eliminated by substitution of iron-magnetic stainless steel inserts. Viscosity was correlated through a logarithmic plot of the dimensionless Reynolds number vs. Froude number with the ratio of ball diameter to tube diameter as a parameter. The relation is linear in the laminar flow region.

Delay Time Prior to Dumping the HRT (open access)

Delay Time Prior to Dumping the HRT

Some refined calculations have been made, relative to a proposed delay prior to a dump, to determine the expected D2 concentration in the vent stream from the pressurizer gas bleeds during a dump of the Homogeneous Reactor Test (HRT). These calculations indicate that for vent valves have a Cv of 0.07 (venting time from 2000 psia to D2O saturation pressure of approximately 12 minutes), a delay period is not required since the D2 concentration is well below lower explosive limit. For vent valves having a Cv of 0.3 (venting time approximately 2.4 minutes), the calculation indicate that a delay before venting of approximately two minutes will be required. This is due entirely to the possibility of mass ebullition the D2. Since the pressure drops so quickly, the reactor solution becomes saturated with D2 before appreciable recombination can occur.
