This report addresses the comparison of SNAP-50/SPUR System with MHD, Brayton, boiling reactor and thermionic systems.

McCormack and Schwendiman issued a report in 1959 which estimated the amount of fission products from fuel element failures entering the Columbia River during the period 1952--1958 inclusive. Since that time there have been no attempts made to publish similar information for the subsequent years. It is the purpose of this report to review the fuel element rupture experience of 1964 as somewhat typical of the last few years, and to estimate the amount of significant fission products which entered the Columbia River. The routine measurements of fission products both in the reactor effluent streams and in the Columbia River will be reviewed for comparison purposes.

From ninth meeting of the USAEC reactor decontamination information exchange group; Washington, District of Columbia, USA (1 Sep 1965). The decontamination activity described includes: laboratory studies to evaluate reagents, and actual decontamination of 2 steam generators at New Production Reactor. ln laboratory tests, a proprietery oxalic acid solution appeared to be more effective th:dn sny other tried. No excessive corrosion was noted. Special reegents to dissolve high fired ceramic core materials (UO/sub 2/ and PuO/sub 2/) are being developed and evaluated. Phosphorous acid, sulfuric acid and a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids were effective. Corrosion of 304 stainless steel was low. Two N Reactor steam generators were decontaminated to facilitate inspection and repair. The APSUL procedure was tried, but control of concentrations was inadequate and decontamination factors were low, ranging from 1.6 to 9.0. No excessive corrosion was noted. (auth)
