Temperature Effects on the Measurement of Aqueous Liquid Level by the Differential Pressure Method and Recommendations for Placement of Taps on the HRT Replacement Heat Exchanger (open access)

Temperature Effects on the Measurement of Aqueous Liquid Level by the Differential Pressure Method and Recommendations for Placement of Taps on the HRT Replacement Heat Exchanger

Increasing temperature in an aqueous liquid system results in a decrease in liquid density and an increase in vapor density. When level is measured by the differential pressure method, temperature increase results in a decrease in the effective span f the instrument and a shift in zero. When the instrument reference leg is uncompensated, both zero and span shifts occur with the effects being most pronounced at the high levels. When the reference leg is compensated, zero shifts are eliminated (instrument zero is at 100% level for this type installation). For control purposes at levels above 50% of full level, the compensated reference leg installation will give the best results. For measurement of levels below 50%, the uncompensated installation is best. As errors in level indications will be produced, in either type installation, by temperature, pressure and steam withdrawal (power) effects, the placement of taps should be such as to place the normal or control level in the region of 50% indicated level.

Quarterly Report of the Solution Corrosion Group for the Period Ending April 30, 1957 (open access)

Quarterly Report of the Solution Corrosion Group for the Period Ending April 30, 1957

A third test of the mockup of the Zircaloy - stainless steel transition joint as used in the HRT reactor vessel was completed. No additional mechanical deflections of the bellows were made, but 12 additional thermal cycles of the unit were carried out. . The joint and bellows functioned properly and were leak-tight. Corrosion of stainless steel in 0.04 m UO2SO4 containing equimolar beryllium sulfate was not greater at 10-15 fps and much less at 15-75 fps, than in HRT solution at 200 and 225 C. Increasing the beryllium sulfate concentration to 0.08 m increased corrosion at 225 C and resulted in an unstable solution at 300 C.

A Preliminary Study of Molten Salt Power Reactors (open access)

A Preliminary Study of Molten Salt Power Reactors

A preliminary study of molten salt power reactors was made. The most promising fuel carrier salts were the fluorides and chlorides of the alkali metals, zirconium, and beryllium. The chlorides were found to have lower melting points but were less stable and more corrosive than the fluorides. A Li/sup 7/ F- - BeF/sub 2/ mixture with ThF/sub 4/ and UF/sub 4/appeared to perform best. Of the numerous alloys tested as container material, Inconel and a nickel-- molybdenum alloy INOR-8 appeared to be the most resistant to corrosion. To study the performance, safety, economics, and construction costs of a typical molten salt reactor, a reactor of specific type and size was chosen for study. The reference design reactor was a two-region homogeneous converter with a core salt of 70 mole% Li/sup 7/F and 30% BeF/sub 2. ThF/sub 4/ and enough VF/sub 4/ for criticality were added. Study indicated that a molten salt reactor would produce economical power, but the problem of developing a salt core and a container metal which would last for many years of operation needed further study.

Second and Third Operating Test of HRT Core Vessel Transition Joint and Expansion Bellows Mockup (open access)

Second and Third Operating Test of HRT Core Vessel Transition Joint and Expansion Bellows Mockup

Second and third tests were conducted on an expansion bellows and Zircaloy-stainless steel transition joint assembly, duplicating that used in the core-pressure vessel assembly of the HRT. The assembly was exposed for 1140 hours in the second test and and 167 hours in the third to a solution containing 0.04m UO2SO4, 0.02m H2SO4, and 0.005m CuSO4 in a 100A dynamic corrosion loop under conditions simulating reactor startup, shutdown, and steady-state operation. Results indicated that the transition joint assembly as tested was mechanically sound and leak-tight. Pit-type corrosion continued on the expansion bellows where the upper retaining tangent contacts the bellows. Results are included of specimens exposed to the circulation solution during transition joint and bellows test.

Pressure Rise in HRT Shield Due to Reactor and Replacement heat Exchanger Rupture (open access)

Pressure Rise in HRT Shield Due to Reactor and Replacement heat Exchanger Rupture

.Recalculations were made of HRT cell pressures in the event of a simultaneous rupture of the reactor core vessel and the fuel and blanket heat exchangers. These calculations will be applicable after the replacement fuel heat exchanger is installed. The pressure rise in the cell is plotted as a function of time. A maximum cell pressure of 34 psig is achieved ~7 sec after rupture.

Acid Formation in the Radiolysis of Phosphorus Esters (open access)

Acid Formation in the Radiolysis of Phosphorus Esters

The radiolytic decomposition of tributyl phosphate has been show by burr to product gases, acids, and polymers. the acids that are formed can limit the usefulness of tributyl phosphate for the processing of radioactive materials. The study of acid formation on radiolysis therefor becomes important to us for the understanding of the mechanism of acid formation, the influence of added materials and the effect of the structure of organo- phosphorous compounds. Samples of purified esters have been irradiated in the ORNL cobalt source. Conclusions: (1) The formation of acid from tributyl phosphate during irradiation with cobalt gamma rays involves a mechanism that is not a primary step. Evidence has been obtained for a secondary reaction that is minimized by the presence of certain compounds. (2) Toluene acting as an inhibitor for radiolytic formation of acid may indicate the usefulness of an aromatic hydrocarbon diluent in processing. (3) The aromatic hydrocarbon, when phenyl, was not effective when it was part of the molecule. (4) First tests revealed that dibutyl butyl-phosphonate produced less acid the TBP and may warrant further consideration for process application.
