190-DR steam turbine backup adequacy report (open access)

190-DR steam turbine backup adequacy report

Because of the questionable performance of the 190-DR steam backup system during the power outage of April 6, 1962, it is felt that a general review of the DR secondary water system capabilities and the standby status of the pumping units is warranted. This report shall briefly describe the performance of the steam backup system during the April 6 power outage and the subsequent power outage of July 10, 1962. Since the former outage, tests have been conducted on the steam pump units to determine their capabilities; the test results are presented in this report. A statement of the generally accepted criteria for secondary coolant system adequacy is included and recommendations for meeting the criteria at DR reactor are presented.

333 Building preliminary survey potential equipment improvements (open access)

333 Building preliminary survey potential equipment improvements

In order to provide advance direction for 333 Building equipment development work, a survey of potential areas of significant savings through equipment improvement has been made. The purpose of this report is only to indicate areas for investigation, not to define a program. Equipment is adequate to maintain operating continuity and provide for safe operation of the building. Special attention should be given to ``one-of-a-kind`` pieces of equipment. These include the press, cutoff saw, beta heat treat facility and autoradiograph film developer. Manpower savings will result principally from refinement of each operation. There are no really outstanding areas for improvement. The greatest potential for savings is in material costs. These are illustrated in Tables I&IV. Maintenance costs provide for possible significant reductions at braze, vacu-blast, nondestructive test, autoclaves, and chemical processing equipment.

A 1000 HOUR TEST OF A CORROSION PRODUCT SEPARATOR UNIT IN A HAYNES ALLOY NO. 25 LOOP CONTAINING MERCURY--TEST G-16 (open access)

A 1000 HOUR TEST OF A CORROSION PRODUCT SEPARATOR UNIT IN A HAYNES ALLOY NO. 25 LOOP CONTAINING MERCURY--TEST G-16

One of the major unsolved problems affecting the life of the SNAP II Power Conversion System is the mass transfer of corrosion products by mercury and subsequent deposition. It is feared that the corrosion products might tend to accumulate in critical areas such as orifices, bearings and so forth. Therefore, this test was conducted to evaluate a corrosion product separator and to determine the influence of corrosion product removal on corrosion rate. The corrosion product separator was successful in removing 85 percent of the elements corroded from the container walls. The loop and separator, both fabricated from Haynes alloy No. 25, operated for 1000 hours. The mercury was boiled and condensed at 1100 deg F, superheated to 1190 deg F and subcooled to 325 deg F. The flow rate in this loop was much higher than in previous loops, being approximately 37 pounds of mercury per hour as contrasted with approximately l2 pounds of raercury per hour. No increase in corrosion rate was noticed as a result of the higher flow rates and velocity or by the removal of corrosion products. If this type of separator or an improved type works equally as well in the final application, the danger …

14CO2 INCORPORATION INTO THE NUCLEIC ACIDS OF SYNCHRONOUSLYGROWING CHLORELLA CELLS (open access)

14CO2 INCORPORATION INTO THE NUCLEIC ACIDS OF SYNCHRONOUSLYGROWING CHLORELLA CELLS

A study of the incorporation of {sup 14}CO{sub 2} into cell components of synchronously growing Chlorella pyrenoidosa has shown that DNA is synthesized primarily during the latter stages of the cell cycle prior to cell division. RNA was synthesized at an approximately equal rate during each of the three phases of the cell growth studied. No major differences were noted in the incorporation of {sup 14}CO{sub 2} into the soluble cell components in these long-term incorporation studies.

2D PERT. A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PERTURBATION CODE (open access)

2D PERT. A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PERTURBATION CODE

Given multigroup fluxes and adjoint fluxes of any cylindrical R-Z configuration, 2D PERT may compute: the prompt-neutron lifetime; the relative worth of various delayed neutrons; the integrals of capture, fission, etc., of given materials over any given region; local perturbations, i.e., danger coefflcients; and integrated perturbations, i.e., reactivity effect of uniform variation in the cross sections affecting a whole region. 2D PERT is programmed for a 32K IBM-704 using 3 tape units. The code is written in FORTRAN with the exception of two SAP subroutines. Input fluxes and adjoint fluxes are on tapes which may be obtained either directly from CUREM output or manufactured by a special tape-writing routine. Homogeneous cross sections and variations of these cross sections are either read in as input information or are computed by the code from a microscopic-cross-section library and atomic densities given as input. A combination of these methods may be used. (auth)

The Absolute Abundance of the Chromium Isotopes in Some Secondary Minerals

From abstract: "Isotopic assays have been made on the chromium in samples from fourteen different chrominiferous minerals from different geographic and meteoritic sources. The results of the assays indicate that it is not possible to unequivocally state that variations in isotopic compositions have been observed."

Absorber Burn-Up Experiment. Final Report (open access)

Absorber Burn-Up Experiment. Final Report

Experimental results are presented of pile oscillator measurements of cross sections of irradiated samples of seventeen elements. Mass spectrometer analysis of some samples was performed. Quantitative theory-experiment correlation yielded thermal absorption cross section information and also established the reliability of control rod lifetime calculations for each element investigated. Application of the results to calculation of the nuclear lifetime of reactor control rods is discussed. (auth)

Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter (open access)

Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter

Human iron metabolism has been extensively studied in the past twenty-five years with the radioisotopes iron⁵⁵ and iron⁵⁹. Before the availability of the whole body counter, however, iron absorption studies were performed by the indirect methods of fecal assay of unabsorbed radioiron, and estimation of red cell incorporation of absorbed tracer. The few long-term excretion studies performed required numerous assumptions, since human iron excretion was less well understood. Whole body counting provides a simple and accurate method of measuring the total body retention of administrative tracer iron⁵⁹, thus making absorption and subsequent excretion determinations possible with a single radioiron study. The energetic gamma emissions of iron⁵⁹ permit ready external detection with small quantities of isotope, Normal radioiron distribution is uniform throughout the circulating red cell mass and thus minimize geometry influences on the counting efficiency, 0nly the 45.1 day half-life of iron⁵⁹ limits long term iron turnover studies. Measurements of iron⁵⁹ absorption and long-term body turnover have been under way at Brookhaven National Laboratory for over two years. The present paper outlines some of the results of these studies, and discusses some implications of the method.
