Inter-reactor river temperature data (open access)

Inter-reactor river temperature data

Douglas-United Nuclear is administering a program of studies to evaluate the effects of the proposed Ben Franklin Dam on the Hanford production reactors. Part of this program includes hydraulic model studies of the river from above 100-B Area to below 100-D Area. The Environmental Studies Section of Battelle-Northwest has been requested to furnish accumulated river data and to obtain supplemental data required for verification of the model. The unclassified velocity data has already been submitted. This document has been prepared to transmit the temperature data. The data shown for 1964 and 1965 were obtained in work done under the Division of Production research and development program, {open_quotes}Columbia River Studies{close_quotes} (Mission 14).

Sample calculation -- GVR values for determining tritium separations costs (open access)

Sample calculation -- GVR values for determining tritium separations costs

This paper shows the calculations for the Gas Volume Ratio, defined as the Total Gas Volume/Target Volume. Using 20 tons of LiAlO{sub 2} as the target, 5028 cubic feet of tritium, protium, and helium are produced. The target volume equals 312.5 cubic feet of aluminate, so that the GVR = 5028/312.5 = 16.1.

EG&G personnel maintained the test cell instrumentation and controls systems in a run condition and added new channels for the next experimental plan. This will be the last publication of the monthly EG&G/NTO progress report. The contractual agreements of the EG&G Electronics Support Services contract require a monthly technical and fiscal report. Reporting shall be in the following categories: (1) TCC; (2) TCA; (3) ETS-1; (4) R&E MAD Buildings; (5) Common Operational Support; (6) Miscellaneous; and (7) Central Support Shops. In addition EG&G will submit a weekly highlight report to SNPO-N with distribution to the users.

K Reactor uncooled HCR: Equilibrium temperature study (open access)

K Reactor uncooled HCR: Equilibrium temperature study

Temperature calculations were made on a proposed design of an uncooled horizonal control rod (HCR) for the K Reactors. The calculations were performed with the aid of a FORTRAN coded heat transfer program for the UNIVAC 1107. The results of the calculations indicate that such a control rod is feasible for.4400 Mw and 5000 Mw operation provided certain precautions are taken. These precautions include assuring good contact between the rod and the graphite in the high flux regions and Providing reasonable contact between the graphite stack and the graphite slider plates that will be placed in the bottom of the rod channels prior to rod insertion and use.

RTOD-photo operations and procedures manual (open access)

RTOD-photo operations and procedures manual

This document presents a survey of the EG&G NRDS photographic operation in four major sections and includes the work scope, procedures, some technical backgrounding and operational information. Two sections, Instrumentation and Photo Systems, include the areas of direct responsibilities while a section on Film Handling and Coordination and a section covering special information, pertinent to the project, are included to adequately complete this survey. The photographic group is housed in two trailers within the control point area at NRDS and from these trailers provides photographic support at a number of locations. Four camera bunkers, three camera towers, a kinescope system, a microfilm system and remote camera controls comprise the facilities that the group maintains and operates outside these trailers. The work load includes major items such as: motion picture coverage of the nuclear rocket engine tests, data record microfilming, kinescope recording, and documentary coverage of the company related operational responsibilities. In addition, a number of minor photographic services are extended, when required. The nature of the work, because of its importance within the research and development efforts at NRDS, requires optimum quality and efficiency throughout. The many procedures outlined here have been designed to satisfy these requirements.

Feasibility Study for Perimeter Inspection of Shutdown Production Reactors (open access)

Feasibility Study for Perimeter Inspection of Shutdown Production Reactors

In fulfillment of a request by the Atomic Energy Commission, an inspection system was developed by the Hanford Atomic Products Operation of General Electric Company during 1964 for periodic monitoring of production reactors should they be shut down under international agreement. Ground rules included access to the reactor building and to the reactor core itself for installation, checking, and removal of equipment for determining whether or not the reactor had been operated between periodic inspection visits. Subsequent correspondence from the Atomic Energy Commission indicated that the in-core system proposed was satisfactory for the ground rules under which it was developed, but that the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency wished also to know whether or not a perimeter inspection system would be feasible. For purposes of this study ``perimeter`` access at a radius of one mile was to be assumed. Hanford was asked to investigate and report on the feasibility of such a system, the extent of work to be equivalent to a Title 1 design effort. This report describes the work carried out by Battelle-Northwest on this program.

Fuel failure Lot KY-928-Q D Reactor (open access)

Fuel failure Lot KY-928-Q D Reactor

On February 13, D Reactor sustained a bumpered enriched fuel element failure in process tube 3289. The element failed in the twenty-first position from the rear of the charge and was from lot KY-928-Q. Visual examination of the failed element indicated the failure mechanism to be cleavage of the uranium core. This conclusion was substantiated in part by the appearance of ``worm tracks`` in the aluminum jacket. The fuel failure was detected approximately three hours after the reactor had resumed operation from a minimum outage. Examination of reactor operation during the three-hour period revealed no evidence of a power transient which might account for the failure mechanism. As a result of a previous meeting between the management of Process Technology Subsection and Production Fuels subsection, verbal information was received from PFS which possibly explains the failure mechanism experienced with this lot. An agreement reached in the meeting was that PFS would provide Process Analysis with fuel lot canning history for evaluating continued irradiation of fuel failure lots with questionable quality integrity.

Minutes of meetings to discuss extraction test studies of ceramic coproduct targets (open access)

Minutes of meetings to discuss extraction test studies of ceramic coproduct targets

The meetings were held on December 6 and 7, 1965 in the 325 Building conference room at PNL. The objectives of the meetings were: (1) To review the status of the ceramic coproduct target element fabrication technology and the subsequent extraction processing technology of irradiated elements as developed at PNL. (2) To discuss the feasibility of performing extraction studies of irradiated coproduct target elements at the SRL pilot plant facilities in demonstrating the capability of coproduct production in N-Reactor. (3) To identify potential problem areas that could arise when the laboratory scale extraction process would be performed on a pilot plant scale in the existing SRL facility.

Technical requirements and criteria for the coproduct target element

The technical basis and criteria for five requirements are presented. Requirement 1 is that the coproduct target element shall be compatible with the driver element in the environment of the N-Reactor primary loop. Requirement 2 is that the target element shall be compatible with nuclear safety requirements under all credible accident conditions. Requirement 3 is that the coproduct element shall be unmistakable from other fuel element models in use or expected to be in use during the period 1966-68. Requirement 4 is that the target element shall have a degree of reliability that is compatible with reactor performance objectives. Requirement 5 is that the target element shall be compatible with procedures for post-irradiation processing.
