Available pressure data on the B and D downcomers and approach piping is tabulated herein. All readings were taken with an air bubbler system; readings given in psi were taken on a Bourdon-type pressure-vacuum gauge, readings given in inches of water were read on an oil-filled manometer. In each case, fluctuations occurred and the mean value was estimated by eye. Data are presented as a function of flow rate and temperature.

This report, for May 1964 from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; employee relations; and weapons manufacturing operation.

Use of X-8001 Al alloy as cladding for Hanford reactors was initiated because of superior (laboratory) resistance to intergranular corrosion over that of C-64 alloy. However, since severe pitting attack was observed intermittently, an evaluation was carried out on X-8001 alloy fuel element cladding.

The objectives of the test described in this report was to determine the inventory of radionuclides in the films on standard production reactor fuel elements and the corrosion of these fuel elements as a function of position in the reactor.

Three overbore elements, 75Zl2, 75Zl4, and 75Zl5 were discharged from 3062C on April 16, 1962 with longitudinal splits after an exposure of 676. The three elements, two of which had completely split apart, were received on July 5, 1963 to determine the cause of failure. All three elements had failed in the same manner with several full length longitudinal cracks in the uranium extending radially from the canwall to about midway in the core. The failure mechanism was found to be the same as that observed during the examination of worm-tracked overbore elements under RM 456 in which incipient failures had occurred from excessive core temperatures. In two out of the three worm-tracked elements the interior core temperatures had exceeded the beta transformation point as a result of severe cycling conditions. In these three ruptures from 3062C the maximum core temperature had not reached the beta phase; however, the failures were undoubtedly caused by excessive hoop stresses resulting from high internal core temperatures.

This report, for June 1964 from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; employee relations; weapons manufacturing operation; and safety and security.

The pile power level curve, which includes data from PT 528 High Tank Drawdown Test and heat decay test, represents allowable power level for a given average High Tank temperature.

The original test authorized the discharge of three columns of irradiated fuel elements from KE Reactor as a first step in an Operational Recharging program. Purpose of this supplement is to authorize discharge of any number of columns of irradiated fuel elements after shutdown, and to continue in force Supplement A, with changed timing of operational discharge.

On the 0000-0800 shift, October 15, 1959, the delayed neutron monitor on KER Loop 2 gave a high coolant activity signal indicating a possible fuel element failure in this loop. KE reactor was shutdown immediately thereafter. This report is being written to summarize the events pertinent to this KE reactor scram and to discuss the results and significance of data from analyses on coolant and coupon samples taken from KER Loop 2.
