Enrico Fermi Fast Breeder Reactor Plant (open access)

Enrico Fermi Fast Breeder Reactor Plant

This report contains a description of the reactor plant portion of the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, with emphasis on the reactor system. Since this plant contains a developmental reactor, emphasis has been placed on reactor safety and on achieving reliable operation. The design is conservative and is flexible enough to permit incorporation of the results of developmental programs, which include nonnuclear, full-scale component test facility operations, and nuclear experiments, such as critical experiments.

Geology of Uranium Deposits in Tertiary Lake Sediments of Southwestern Yavapai County, Arizona (open access)

Geology of Uranium Deposits in Tertiary Lake Sediments of Southwestern Yavapai County, Arizona

From purpose and scope: and primary objective was to determine the extent and grade of ore present and the future potential of the district. The second and broader objective was to learn the relationship of ore to stratigraphy and structure, in order to outline similar areas favorable for prospecting.

Shearing Irradiated Uranium Plates (open access)

Shearing Irradiated Uranium Plates

From abstract: "Natural uranium plates that were irradiated to 600 and 1500 MWD/T were cut under water by a guillotine-type shear. Irradiation reduced the force required for shearing to 50 per cent of that required for unirradiated uranium. Measurements were made of radioactivity released to treated and untreated water in which the cut sections were stored."
