Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at separations facilities through December 1956 (open access)

Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at separations facilities through December 1956

This document summaries the amounts of radioactive contamination discharged to ground from separation facilities through December 1956. Detailed data for individual disposal sites is presented on a month basis for the period of July through December 1956. Previous publications of this series may be referred to for specific information on measurements and radioactivity totals prior to July 1956. Tables I and II list the major disposal sites in separation facilities, total volume of waste discharged to each location, and the gross amounts of plutonium and beta particle emitters discharged to ground since startup. Tables III through XXXVI present this same data on a month to month basis and also include information on the source of the waste stream and the settling facility used. Isotopic data are included for all disposal sites from which the waste was analyzed for specific contaminants. Estimates of contamination and volumes discharged to the swamps are also included.

Revision of horizontal control rods to permit utilization of neutrons for by-product production, 105-C, 105-KE, 105-KW (open access)

Revision of horizontal control rods to permit utilization of neutrons for by-product production, 105-C, 105-KE, 105-KW

The purpose of this budget study is to analyze the problems involved at 105-C, 105-KE, and 105-KW Buildings to revise the existing horizontal control rods to permit utilization of neutrons for by-product production, compare alternate solutions, and provide necessary budget data on the proposed solution. The sponsor of this budget study is Reactor Operations.

Incentives for using poison splines at C Pile (open access)

Incentives for using poison splines at C Pile

The benefits of the poison spline system as developed and partially tested by the Facilities Engineering Operation are considered over a two year period. The full pile operational charge-discharge installation at the end of that time could make the poison spline system a marginal operation. This document list the production gains that are possible, how these gains compare with the cost of the poison spline system, and how this system compares with other available supplementary reactivity control systems.

Neutron-Induced Fission Cross Section of Pu$sup 240$ (open access)

Neutron-Induced Fission Cross Section of Pu$sup 240$

The fission cross section of Pu/sup 240/ was determimed from Pu/sup 240/U/sup 235/ ratio for neutron energies between threshold and 8.1 Mev. U/sup 235/ cross section values were essentially those given in a recent compilation in ''Progress in Nuclear Energy.'' The technique used was to mount the two foils back-to-back in a double ionization chamber and to irradiate them in a neutron flux of variable energy. (A.C.)
