Report of Fire in Laboratory Hood, Wing I, Building 4500 (open access)

Report of Fire in Laboratory Hood, Wing I, Building 4500

The fire involved approximately 30 liters of isopropyl alcohol as a result of the ignition of about 16-18 liters of isopropyl alcohol and a slurry of thoria and ammonium nitrate in a 20-liter glass carboy. This material was undergoing a volume reduction by boiling in a floor-type metal hood with Plexiglas sides and 3 sliding door on the front of ordinary glass. The alcohol vapor was vents directly into the hood (Fig1.)

Summary of Corrosion Data for HRT Mockup Operational Period Ending November 5, 1956 (open access)

Summary of Corrosion Data for HRT Mockup Operational Period Ending November 5, 1956

The operation of the HRT mockup was on 0.042m UO2SO4, 0.024m H2SO4, and 0.005m CuSO4 at 280 C and 1400 psi pressure. with the O2 content at near 500 ppm. The pump showed bearing wear and high corrosion. The letdown heat exchanger was removed from the mockup and sectioned. The metallographic examination revealed corrosion. Results of corrosion runs on Ti, zircaloy-2, and stainless steel are given.

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies : LITR I.  Outline of Methods and Procedures (open access)

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies : LITR I. Outline of Methods and Procedures

During the development of in-reactor corrosion experiments three types of bomb designs have been developed for following quantitatively the consumption of oxygen in a bomb which is fabricated from the particular metal under test. The bombs are designed so as to be rocked continuously during their in-reactor exposure, consequently agitating the uranium salt solution contained in the bomb and permitting gentle movement of the solution past metal specimens and other corroding surfaces. The oxygen pressure is produced within the bomb at the beginning of the run either by the withdrawal of gas from an oxygen tank or by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide added just prior to closure. Temperature measurements are obtained by mans of thermocouples placed in a well within the bomb body or, in the latest design, there will also be thermocouples staked at several points on the outer wall of the bomb. The assembly is inserted in an experimental access hole in the reactor, brought up to a predetermined operating temperature by means of an electric furnace in close contact with the bomb, and allowed to remain for the desired amount of exposure to reactor radiation. Periodic measurements of temperature and pressure are made and the bomb …
