Research proposed in the following areas are briefly described: the measurement of photoionization cross sections near threshold for the excited states of uranium; measurement of the symmetric charge exchange cross section; and measurement of chemiionization cross sections for electronically excited uranium atoms.

The 241-BY Tank Farm, located in 200 East Area of the Hanford Project, was designed and constructed in 1948-1949. The 241-BY Tank Farm has 12 reinforced concrete,underground waste tanks, numbered 241-BY-101 to 112. Each tank has an inside, 3/8 inch thick carbon steel liner, for containment of liquid wastes. The capacity of each tank is 758,000 gallons. The reinforced concrete design drawings for the 241-BY Tank (H-2-1312, H-2-1314, and H-2-1315) are reproduced in this report. The 241-BY Tank Farm was originally used to store liquid radioactive wastes with temperatures about 2000 F. For approximately the last five years, the Waste Management Program has had the In-Tank Solidification Unit No.2 (ITS-2) i{approx}stalled in the 241-BY-112 Tank. With ITS-2, this tank has operated with a liquid temperature of 250 F most of the time. Currently, Operations Support Engineering of Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company believes that ITS-2 could operate more effectively if the liquid in the 241-BY-112 Tank were heated to 280 F. Thus, the subject structural analyses were undertaken to predict how the tank structure responds to the 250 F and the proposed 280 F liquid temperatures. More specifically, the goals of these analyses were: (1) Make a quantitative determination and evaluation …

Results of the heat exchanger tests conducted on a scale model of a heat exchanger that has been designed and fabricated for the Geothermal Test Facility show that this exchanger will lose 60% of its heat transfer capability and fall below design requirements after 92 hours of operation. When the test exchanger was clean and operating as close as possible to design conditions, its overall heat transfer coefficient was 426 BTU/hr-ft/sup 2/ - /sup 0/f. when calculating in the fouling factor of .0035 this gave a design coefficient of 171 BTU/hr-ft/sup 2/ - /sup 0/f which was reached after less than four days of steady state operation. Thermal shocking of the test heat exchanger once each hour while the exchanger was operating at design conditions had no effect on scale removal or heat transfer. Results of tube cleaning showed that chemical treatment with 30% hydrochloric acid followed by a high pressure water jet (6000 psig), was effective in removing scale from tubes contacted with geothermal brine. After cleaning, the tubes were examined and some pitting was observed throughout the length of one tube.
