Planned normalization of plutonium yield predictions to the twelve two-ton test batch measurements (open access)

Planned normalization of plutonium yield predictions to the twelve two-ton test batch measurements

This report is a comparison of findings from the twelve two-ton test batches irradiated in the KE and H reactors with respect to reactor plutonium yield predictions. Included are plans for the application of these findings to improve the accuracy of plutonium yield equations used for Hanford product accountability.

The Boron-Carbon System: Final Technical Report, May 1, 1960 - April 30, 1961 (open access)

The Boron-Carbon System: Final Technical Report, May 1, 1960 - April 30, 1961

Abstract: The boron-carbon equilibrium diagram has been determined by X-ray, metallographic, and thermal analysis of sintered and arc-cast alloys. A single carbide having a range of solubility from approximately 9 to 20 a/o carbon and melting congruently exists in the system. The terminal solubility of carbon in boron is 0.1-0.2a/o. The freezing reaction at the composition and melting temperature of elemental boron; there is a eutectic reaction at 29a/o carbon and 2375 degrees Celcius. No allotropy of boron was observed.
