Final report on the fuel and target element evaluation at increased irradiation levels for tritium production: Production tests 313-105-35-M and 105-562-A
The C Reactor was proposed for producing tritium. To evaluate the performance of enriched U-Al J elements and natural Li-Al alloy target (N) elements, 60 charges containing both J and N pieces were irradiated under a variety of conditions in C Reactor. No ruptures were sustained; however Tube 3276-C was discharged because of a suspect. Corrosion rates of J elements were not worse than for natural U irradiated under same conditions. Differences between corrosion of J elements prepared by three different methods were not significant.

Isotope-producing control rods
In accordance with the NPR technical criteria which require that provisions be made for useful isotope production in the control rods, both isotope-producing and non-production rods have been designed. Design Analysis has been requested by Reactor Plant Design to specify the number and location of the isotope rods for the initial installation. This choice, however, cannot be made without knowledge of the fuel element characteristics and a prediction of the reactor operating techniques. Some of the factors affecting the use of isotope-producing rods are discussed in this letter, and the following recommendation is made.

Design of production test IP-297-A-FP, The effect of autoclave film damage on the incidence of groove pitting on X-8001 alloy fuel jackets
The recent increase in the incidence of groove pitting on X-8001 clad fuel elements in the old reactors apparently refutes the earlier hypothesis that surface segregation of the secondary phase of this alloy was the primary cause of the unique, preferential attack sustained during irradiation. Components received within the past fifteen months have exhibited essentially none of the segregation. On the other hand, recent evidence suggests that localized penetration of the autoclave film on X-8001 may influence groove attack. The implications of this hypothesis include the necessity of special handling to preserve the autoclave film integrity or possibly elimination of the film altogether. Either certain conditions or properties of the X-8001 alloy or unusual autoclave conditions intermittently produce non-uniform autoclave films. If some of these film conditions are a result of non-uniform alloy structure in the cans, they may contribute to the groove pitting attack. This report presents the design of a test to compare the scratched and non-uniform autoclave films with uniform unscratched controls under special irradiation conditions to compare the incidence of groove pitting.

Modified Zirflex Process for Dissolution of Zirconium-and Niobium-Bearing Nuclear Fuels in Aqueous Fluoride Solutions: Laboratory Development
Modified Zirflex process flowsheets were developed for recovering uranium from the newer power reactor fuel alloys after discharge from the reactor. The STR (1% U97% Zr-2% Sn) and EBWR Core-1 (93.5% U-5% Zr-1.5% Nb clad in Zircaloy-2) fuels are used as examples of low- and high-uranium fuels, respectively. A dissolvent of 6 M NH/sub 4/F yields a solution of zirconium and a precipitate of ammonium uranous fluoride. In one process, ammonium hydroxide is added to produce insoluble hydrous oxides of uranium, zirconium and niobium. The NH/sub 4/F-NH/sub 4/OH supernatant is removed by filtration, partially evaporated, and recycled as dissolvent. The uranium and zirconium oxides are dissolved in nitric acid to yield a solvent extraction feed solution of low fluoride content. In an alternative process nitric acid and aluminum nitrate are added to the ammonium fluoride fuel solution to oxidize U(IV) to soluble V(VI) and prepare a stable solution suitable for solvent extraction. Chromic acid is also added in the case of the STR fuel. In a variation of this flowsheet for the EBWR fuel, only- enough 6 M NH/sub 4/F is added to dissolve the cladding. Nitric acid and aluminum nitrite are then added io dissolve the core. Insoluble niobic …

Pilot Plant Preparation of Thorium and Thorium-Uranium Oxides
Thorium oxide is formed by the calcination of thorium oxalate precipitated under carefully controlled conditions. Material is produced with mean particle diameters of 1 to 5 mu . Some of the thorium oxide had uranium added to it by decomposing uranyl carbonate on the thorium oxide followed by calcination. Most of the oxides prepared were calcined to 1000 deg C or more and size classified to remove particles greater than 10 mu . The oxides were prepared in 150-lb batches, with a complete cycle requiring 24 hr. (auth)

Survey of the Radiation Levels in the Containment Vessel of the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant. Part 5. Gamma Radiation Levels on the Operating Floor of the Containment Building. A. Levels Above the Equipment Compartment. Technical Memorandum No. 16
The results are presented of a survey of calculated gamma-ray levels at many points on the surface of the operating floor of the containment building for the Enrico Fermi reactor. That portion of the floor surveyed lies directly above the equipment compartment. The calculations were made with the aid of an IBM-650 electronic computer. The main source of radioactivity which gives rise to gamma radiation above the floor is the radioactive sodium-24 in the primary coolant system. This system was considered to be completely filled with sodium, and activated to an equilibrium activity of 0.05 curies/cc, which corresponds to infinite reactor operation at 500 megawatts power. No fission product contamination was considered for these calculations. The operating floor is 5 feet thick and of concrete and steel. The results of the survey indicate that above the equipment compartment the surface dose on the operating floor will in no case exceed 0.9 mr/hr at the expected full operating power of 430 megawatts. Included as appendices are derivations and methods of corrections from one set of concrete and steel thicknesses to another. (auth)

Organic Coolant Reclamation Annual Report : December 15, 1958 through December 14, 1959
Potential methods have been examined for the reclamation of high boiler arising from the degradation of polyphenol materials in use as reactor coolants and moderators. To define the chemistry of potential reclamation processes, model polyphenol compounds were used. These include biphenyl, o, m and p-terphenyl, and p-quaterphenyl. Emphasis has been on hydrocracking, redistribution (reaction with benzene), and partial reduction. Preliminary study has been made of the application these techniques to high boiler from Santowax-OM used in the OMRE. The three methods show promise but require detailed investigation to minimize carbon formation to locate optimum operating conditions,.

Steady-State Recirculated Reactor Stability and Operational Characteristics - Water and Metal Temperature Coefficients
It is desirable that a reactor exhibit a self-regulating effect. If this were not true any disturbance to the reactor would result in a continual increase in the magnitude of the disturbance and the reactor would be unstable. In this investigation the reactor is considered to have two reactivity feed-backs: metal temperature and water temperature reactivity effects. These two variables through a metal temperature coefficient and water temperature coefficient determine not only the reactor stability but also determine many operational characteristics.

Development and Testing of an Improved Agitator for the Redox and Purex Separations Plants
Relatively frequent agitator failures in HAPO Separations Plants have interfered with process continuity, contributed to process difficulties, and resulted in considerable maintenance expense. Predominantly the failures have been because of gear-reduction drive unit break-down or because of metallic fatigue and degeneration of the shaft-paddle assemblies. A simplified, slow-speed, direct drive agitator, previously described in HW-52755, proved to be quite durable and satisfactory during extended testing, operating without incident for over 10,000 hours. Subsequent operation of the agitator in the Redox Plant has been equally smooth. Total operating time (combined test and production use) is now in excess of 21,000 hours. Since the slow speed agitation principle has been adequately demonstrated at Redox and Purex canyon applications. This report describes the development and testing of such a "universal" agitator.
