Control Rod Positions for Criticality. Section I. 5032-EFPN. Eigth Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-149, T-550130 (open access)

Control Rod Positions for Criticality. Section I. 5032-EFPN. Eigth Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-149, T-550130

The purpose of the test was to determine critical bank heights and bank worths for various rod configurations at ambient temperatures. The critical rod bank position and bank worths for four different control rod bank rod configuration were determined after 5032 EFPH's of operation. The value were corrected to a reactor coolant temperature of 145 F and a pressure of 400 psig. The bank worths were corrected to 145 F so that the results of the performance could be compared with the results of previous performances.

The Use of an Electronic High Vacuum Pump on Various Types of Mass Spectrometers (open access)

The Use of an Electronic High Vacuum Pump on Various Types of Mass Spectrometers

A commercially available electronic high vacuum pump has bee tested on various types of mass spectrometers used at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Considerable savings in operating and maintenance costs can be realized from the use of this pump. the greatest savings result from the elimination of the cold trap required for the diffusion pump whether it is cooled by liquid nitrogen or by mechanical refrigeration. additional savings results from the fact that the pump currently is usually an adequate indication of the pressure in the spectrometer tube and that a continuously running mechanical fore pump is not required.

Periodic Intercalibration of Temperature Sensing Elements. Section I. Second Performance. Test Results DL-S-243 (T-641303)

The purpose of the test was to determine the direction and magnitude of any drift in the temperature sensing elements and the receiver-indicating units for the primary loop and pressurizer resistance thermometers. To obtain intercalibration data for various temperature sensing elements in the primary coolant system. To obtain data on the difference between the calculated signal generated by the BF-3 counters, considering the known rate of decay of the PO-BE source, and the measured values. Of the 62 core thermocouples observed 19 were either reading less than 400 F or were reading in excess of 20 F from the calibrating thermometer temperatures. In each case the thermocouple was considered defective. The remainder were within 2 per cent of the calibrating thermometers. The primary loop (Norwood Indicators) resistance thermometers all read with 0.2 percent of the calibrating thermometers. No conclusion could be made for the pressurizer temperature instruments or the boiler Tb resistance thermometers, except that the 1A boiler temperature varied 10 F to 20 F from the 1Band 1C boiler temperatures. A laboratory calibration of this instrument will be made. The data obtained from the source range nuclear instrumentation was too erratic to form any conclusion. No drift evaluation on …

To obtain data on the difference between the calculated signal generated by the BF-3 counters, considering the known rate of decay of the PO-BE source, and the measured values. Determination of temperature sensing element and instrumentation drifts could not be made due to a lack of comparative data. Five temperature intercalibrations were performed using the calibrating Tc resistance thermometers as a standard. The data obtained from the nuclear instrumentation was too erratic to form any conclusions.

Specifications for Fuel Assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor

These specifications for the fuel assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) have been developed for use in procuring the first core loading. A fuel assembly for EGCR consists of a cluster of seven cylindrical fuel elements spaced and supported within a graphite sleeve. Each fuel element consists of a stainless steel tube containing a column of hollow UO2 pellets and having a spacer brazed at the midsection to control the spacing between fuel elements in a cluster. A master specification for the fuel assembly, a supplementary specification for each of the components, and a specification on record keeping during manufacture are included.

A Lucite model of a multi-stage countercurrent hydroclone solvent extraction apparatus has been constructed and tested with Amsco-water. The diffusivity of Cs 134 tracer in aqueous chloride solution was measured to check the performance of the capillary diffusivity measuring system. The experimental data from four Druhm runs showed that 1/8in. thick graphite liners are usable for reactor temperatures above the boiling point of sodium.

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein (open access)

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein

A method was developed for the determination of osmium by measuring the absorbancy of osmium tetroxide in CHCl3. The osmium is first oxidized to the octavalent state and the osmium tetroxide which is formed is extracted selectively with CHCl3. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of OsO4 in CHCl3 has a series of absorption bands with peak absorbancies at 282. 289, 297, 304 and 312 mu, and molar absorbancy indices of 1870, 1760, 1640, 1400 and 1000, respectively. For each wavelength the optimum concentration range for the determination of osmium was evaluated by the method of Ringbom. Only chloride and octavalent ruthenium interfere in the determination. By this method, from 0.4, to 3 mg of cesium can be determined with a coefficient of variation of 3 per cent.

Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel (open access)

Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel

The radiation hazards associated with recycled nuclear reactor fuels will greatly complicate the handling and refabrication of these fuels. This problem is most serious with U-233 and plutonium fuels where the presence of U-232 and the heavier isotopes of plutonium contribute energetic alpha, gamma, and neutron radiations at levels many times that from isotopically pure U-233 and Pu-239. This report summarizes present knowledge of the radiation hazards associated with recycled fuel and the additional data needed to make a thorough evaluation of these hazards.

The HRT Refrigerating System

The HRT refrigeration system was designed to use Freon-11 (CCI3F) as the refrigerant material in the secondary loop. A Van de Graaff irradiation of this material indicated that serious corrosion problems were probable if Freon were used in the proposed metal system. A survey was made of candidate refrigerants, and Amsco 125-82 and triethyl phosphate were selected for irradiation and physical-property determinations.

Determination of Traces of Uranium Metal by Decomposition of the Hydride (open access)

Determination of Traces of Uranium Metal by Decomposition of the Hydride

Two methods were developed for the determination of uranium metal in UF3 with other fluoride compounds. A simplified method of determination which has a relatively high degree of precision (coefficient of variation 2 per cent) is carried out by decomposing the hydride in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide and subsequently measuring the hydrogen over an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide. The ignition of the hydride in an atmosphere of oxygen and volumetric measurement of the water at reduced pressures provide a more sensitive method of determination. The coefficient of variation of the latter procedure is 7 per cent. The yield of gas from the reaction of the hydride with ammonia and gaseous hydrogen chloride was found to be neither stoichiometric nor reproducible.
