The Inhour Equation for the Tuballoy Tamped Oralloy sphere (open access)

The Inhour Equation for the Tuballoy Tamped Oralloy sphere

Exponential rise times, T, of neutron flux in an Oy-Tu assembly have been measured for a set of points essentially equally spaced reactivity-wise in the interval between delayed and prompt critical corresponding to [infinity] > T > 5 seconds. The relationship between positive period and reactivity thus obtained is used to decide (preferentially) between two currently used but divergent collections of delayed neutron data, specifically with respect to the relative abundances of delayed neutrons in the different decay periods. Results of other reactivity measurements supplementing the positive period data are also given.

Laboratory Demonstration of Redox Feed Head-End Treatment ; Ruthenium Volatilization and Manganese Dioxide Scavenging

From introduction: "The prime motive behind the experiments described in this report and in those preceding it in this series is the desire to reduce the number of Redox cycles necessary for decontamination from fission products of the plutonium and uranium streams sufficient to allow final disposition of these two products...This report deals with the mechanics of manganese dioxide handing, laboratory development of manganese dioxide scavenging, and a series of experiments at multicurie level combining ruthenium volatilization and manganese dioxide scavenging in stainless steel equipment."
