Tests for Hydrogen Cyanide and Hydrogen Sulfide (open access)

Tests for Hydrogen Cyanide and Hydrogen Sulfide

A potential source of dangerous concentrations of hydrogen cyanide exists in the plating room of the Machine Shop where open plating baths containing cyanide salts are maintained and where solid cyanide salts are stored. Also the use of hydrogen sulfide in certain steps of the waste disposal process has lead to noticeable and sometimes objectionable concentrations of this gas in the air of the "WD" Building. In view of the toxic properties of these two gases, it was desirable to set up suitable tests to determine the actual concentrations present in the air of the respective working areas.

Thermal Stress Tests of KS Graphite (open access)

Thermal Stress Tests of KS Graphite

A program was initiated to determine the thermal rupture characteristics of KS graphite under steady-state operating conditions simulating the thermal conditions of an uninhibited rocket reactor. The maximum thermal stress calculated using room-temperature properties was 3090 psi. The maximum net specific power obtained was 5.2 Btu/cu in.-sec. (B.O.G.)

Trip report: Argonne National Lab., Naval Reactor Division, December 12--13, 1949 (open access)

Trip report: Argonne National Lab., Naval Reactor Division, December 12--13, 1949

This trip was spent in conferences with H. Etherington, A. Amroni, Geo. Anderson, and L.W. Fromm; and in inspection of components now being built for the Navy Test Rig which is to be installed at H Pile. Mr. Anderson believes that the entire assembly will arrive at Hanford between January 16 and 23, 1950. Much has yet to be designed and built, however. Also, certain incompatibilities with the H Pile were pointed out, and will be altered.

Trip Report, December 16--21, 1949 (open access)

Trip Report, December 16--21, 1949

December 16--20, 1949 were spent in inspection of the equipment of the Naval Pilot Channel Test Rig at the Oak Ridge pile, observation of its maintenance and use, and in discussions with the test operating personnel, and members of the H.P. and pile operating divisions. December 21 was spent at the Argonne National Laboratories, Naval Reactor Division, in inspection of the test rig under construction for use at the H pile. Dr. Etherington requested that I express their desire to arrange that an Argonne scientist be at Hanford with the test rig to act in an advisory capacity, for consultation, and to prepare such reports to Argonne as they may need to call for as the test progresses.
