Miscellaneous Studies of Fluorocarbons and Fluorocarbon-Uranium Hexafluoride Systems

During the exploration of the possible use of an extraction process for the separation of gaseous cascade impurities from uranium hexafluoride, a number of short exploratory studies were carried out. These included (1) experimental determination of the vapor pressure and liquid density of perfluorodibutylcylicether, (2) calculation of the liquid vapor-equilibria of the systes perfluoro-n-pentane-uranium hexafluoride and 1,2-dichlorohexafluoropropane-uranium hexafluoride, and (3) derivation of equations for the estimation of activity coefficients in ternary systems from the properties of the pure components. The results of these studies are summarized in this report.

Permissible limits for reactor cooling water assimilated by humans (open access)

Permissible limits for reactor cooling water assimilated by humans

A permissible limit for the release of waste cooling water from the Hanford reactors into the Columbia River must be determined not only from the effect on humans of assimilation of the radioactive isotopes in the water, but also from the effects of temperature, submersion dose, and metabolism of radioisotopes on fish and other aquatic life in the river, and of concentration in plants of the radioisotopes in irrigation water from the river, with eventual consequences to humans. This report derives permissible limits for human assimilation. 10 refs., 4 tabs.

Process Test MR-105-15, Production increases by the use of venturi orifices (open access)

Process Test MR-105-15, Production increases by the use of venturi orifices

Process Test MR-105-14 presented the basis for the use of supplemental and venturi orifices in certain regions of a reactor operating in accordance with the scram before boiling limit, and provided for the reactor testing of the supplemental orifice. It is the purpose of the test, described in this report to demonstrate the feasibility of using venturi orifices on a reactor so that maximum production gains may be achieved under this new limit.
