Poisoning and Production in a Power Plant (open access)

Poisoning and Production in a Power Plant

The yield of 49, the efficiency of production of 49, and poisoning in a power plant are discussed. Only the crudest of estimates of the poisoning are possible: these indicated that production will probably not be hampered by poisoning. In this case the yield of 49 could be as high as 3 kg/ton but only about 2 kg/ton is compatible with a fairly high efficiency. In the case that production is stopped by poisoning, smaller yields, proportional to the tolerable loss in k, are obtained. In this case the yield will be improved by a factor of 2 or 3 if only the most poisoned parts are extracted and replaced by new uranium.

Interaction of Be with Fission Neutrons (open access)

Interaction of Be with Fission Neutrons

To determine whether or not the (n,2n) reaction in Be would produce a net increase in fission neutrons in a power plant, the distribution of In resonance neutrons slowed down from fission energies in a graphite block was measured with and without a 2" of Be in front of a U3O8 slab undergoing fission. The thermal neutrons producing the fissions were obtained by slowing down neutrons from a cyclotron source. The observed distribution without Be was well represented by a Gaussian source range 36 cm. (corresponding to an initial fission energy of 3 MeV) and a similar sink of range 7.8 cm. The total In resonance intensity with Be was 5% less than without Be. On the assumption that the effect of the Be is entirely due to its different mean free path and moderating power, the In distribution with Be was calculated. Since the m.f.p. as a function of energy is not known for Be, two separate calculations were made using the highest (2.9 cm.) and the lowest (1.80 cm.) possible values for the effective Be m.f.p. Both calculated curves were found to be higher than the observed Be distribution, indicating that at least 10% of the fission neutrons …

The Extraction Method of Purification of Uranyl Nitrate

Technical report. Three extractions of a diethyl ether solution of uranyl nitrate with small portions of water are effective in removing rare earths, as is shown by radio-gadolinium and radio-europium tracer experiments. A study of representative ethers, alcohols, ketones, and esters showed that diethyl ether and a mixture of 85% ethyl methyl ketone with 15% xylene are the best solvents for the extraction.
