Activity Build-Up Control by High pH Coolant. A Literature Survey
A survey was made of unclassified literature dealing with the control of activity build-up in pressurized water reactors by high-pH coolants. Survey results indicate that a high-pH coolant is desirable for control of induced radioactivity build-up in pressurized water reactors containing significant amounts of stainless steel and that no significant hazards are introduced by adoption of a high-pH coolant. Lithium hydroxide was found to be the most acceptable agent for coolant pH control. Strong-base-form mixed-bed resin is effective in maintaining both coolant pH and coolant purity. (auth)

Alpha Particle Ionization of Argon Mixtures--Further Study of the Role of Excited States
BS>The average energy required to form an ion pair, W, when alpha particles are absorbed in mixtures of argon with other gases is studied. The other gases were selected on the basis of their ionization potentials. One group consists of representative gases that have ionization potentials below that of Ar (15.77 ev) and above the doublet metastable state of Ar (11.49 and 11.66 ev). This list includes methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, xenon, and krypton. The other group of special interest consists of some gases with ionization potentials below the metastable state of Ar. All gases tested in these two groups cause an increase in ionization, i e., a decrease in W, when added to argon. As an illustration of this effect, the addition of 1/2% of acetylene to Ar will increase the ionization by 23% The experimental data, i.e., W as a function of relative concentration of the two gases, were fitted to a model in which it is assumed that energy is transferred from two excited levels in argon to the additive gases in collision processes. Good agreement between the experimental data and calculations based on the model is taken as additional evidence that the excited state notion …

Analog to digital converter system for temperature monitoring -- B, C, D, DR, F, and H reactors
This document discusses a proposal that certain presently installed reactor process water outlet temperature data logging equipment in subject reactors to be replaced with new functionally simplified equipment of a more adequate design. The primary purpose of the proposed installation is to replace existing equipment which is obsolete and in three reactors is worn out to the point where the equipment is out of service frequently for periods of time up to 8 hours or more. The new equipment will provide reliable process tube temperature information for use in the functions of reactor control and product accountability. Based upon anticipated incremental production gains resulting from use of the new equipment, the amortization period for the project is calculated at 2.7 years.

Analysis of quality certification data: WARP, TFC and delta OD{sub 2} as a function of reactor operating conditions
This report is the second in a series on the definition of performance of irradiated fuel elements as measured by the Quality Certification Program. Objectives of this analysis are to establish empirical mathematical relations which fit observed data from > 2000 fuel elements measurements for WARP, TFC, and DELTA OD{sub 2}, as a function of reactor conditions (power, surface temperature, time).

Anion exchange flow sheets and equipment for recovery of Task I filtrates
The filtrate stream from the precipitation--filtration step of the Button Line process must be recycled to recovery operations to reclaim residual plutonium. Present practice is to transfer the filtrates to Recuplex, concentrate by a factor of 6 to 10, and blend into the feed stream for solvent extraction purification. Limited tankage is available for solution storage. Interruption of Recuplex operations necessitates termination of operations in the precipitation-filtration steps and other Button Line areas. Filtrates can be recycled to one of the parent solvent extraction plants for recovery. However, excessive handling operations are encountered by this processing method. This document describes the anion exchange flow sheets and equipment for processing the filtrate stream without dependence upon other recovery operations.

Calculation of Doppler Coefficient and Other Safety Parameters for a Large Fast Oxide Reactor
Several safety parameters are calculated for a large, fast, Na-cooled, oxide-fueled reactor. The Doppler coefficient is studied as regards its effect on the reactivity during a power excursion, and its dependence on the neutron spectrum, on the concentrations of U/sup 238/, Pu /sup 239/ , a nd Pu/sup 240/, on spatial temperature and power distributions, and on temperature. Other parameters studied include the Na temperature coefficient of reactivity, and the reactivity insertion caused by total Na loss; reactivity coefficients caused by thermal expansion of fuel and steel cladding; the excess operating reactivity; and the reactivity caused by a fuel slump. The effects of a Be reflector on neutron lifetimes are determined. The safety aspects are balanced against economic considerations. (T.F.H.)
