Off-Gas Treatment in Berkeley Enclosures

"In the past ten years quantities of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and neutron-emitting isotopes handled in enclosures have increased from microcuries to kilocuries. Contaminated-atmosphere problems have increased accordingly. Developments at Berkeley are reviewed with particular emphasis on recent equipment, viz: a multiple-purpose gas scrubber and a total-capture system for slug-dissolver off gas."

The storage and handling of J-slugs (open access)

The storage and handling of J-slugs

The nuclear safety specifications (1) for handling J-slugs have previously been reviewed. These specifications provided information for the storage of loaded 100-hole shipping containers and loaded 66-hole wood cart pallets in certain arrays. Storage of J-slugs in J-Material Crates conforming to Drawing No. H-3-6217 had not been reviewed for the previous specifications. It has become desirable to provide specifications for J-slug storage in these crates as well as make additions to the present specifications on the storage of these enriched slugs in shipping containers and pallets. The results of this study pertaining to arrays of J-slugs in shipping containers and pallets will be incorporated as an addition to the present specifications for handling J-slugs.
