The following report studies uranium and vanadium ore deposits found in the Calyx No. 3 mine in the Temple Mountain area of the San Rafael Swell in Utah.

The so-called Fluoride Volatility Processes refer to several proposed non-aqueous methods of processing irradiated fuel elements. In each of these methods, the uranium is fluorinated to UF6 and then decontaminated by distillation. One of those methods, involving the direct fluorination of the uranium by bromine trifluoride (BTF), has been under investigation at BNL since 1950. In 1952, it was demonstrated at BNL that uranium, as UF6, could be satisfactorily decontaminated by distillation in small-scale pilot plant equipment; end in 1953, BNL undertook the job of determining the technical feasibility of a continuous dissolver on a pilot-plant scale. The reason for the project was that the economic superiority of the process seemed to depend upon its amenability to continuous operation.

"The problem of radiation derange to the walls of two types of vacuum chamber for the 6 Bev Cambridge Electron Accelerator was studied. Radiation damage may arise from the synchrotron radiation and from electrons which are not accepted at injection. The synchrotron radiation produces a large amount of secondary x radiation which is isotropic, and therefore complicates the arrangement of internal shielding. The 20 Mev electrons from the lines cannot be attenuated by shielding. It is concluded that dosages of the order of 10/sup 7/ rad/day near the inflector are unavoidable. This would exceed the allowable dosage for a tube made by cementing a stainless steel liner to supporting ribs, and also exceed the test dosages (so far as we know) for alumina ceramics."

A new type of continuous density meter, applicable for use with ThO2 slurry in high temperature-pressure systems, was tested successfully in a low temperature slurry loop.

Some refined calculations have been made, relative to a proposed delay prior to a dump, to determine the expected D2 concentration in the vent stream from the pressurizer gas bleeds during a dump of the Homogeneous Reactor Test (HRT). These calculations indicate that for vent valves have a Cv of 0.07 (venting time from 2000 psia to D2O saturation pressure of approximately 12 minutes), a delay period is not required since the D2 concentration is well below lower explosive limit. For vent valves having a Cv of 0.3 (venting time approximately 2.4 minutes), the calculation indicate that a delay before venting of approximately two minutes will be required. This is due entirely to the possibility of mass ebullition the D2. Since the pressure drops so quickly, the reactor solution becomes saturated with D2 before appreciable recombination can occur.

A falling ball viscometer under development at ORNL, employing a flow system and an electromagnetically operated dash-pot pump, was evaluated for possible use with aqueous ThO2 slurry systems under reactor irradiation. Interchangeable check valve inserts were designed and fabricated to investigate several pump designs. Magnetic flux concentrations which originally prevented circulation of the ferritic stainless steel viscometer ball through the electromagnetic pump were eliminated by substitution of iron-magnetic stainless steel inserts. Viscosity was correlated through a logarithmic plot of the dimensionless Reynolds number vs. Froude number with the ratio of ball diameter to tube diameter as a parameter. The relation is linear in the laminar flow region.

Design calculations were made for a system consisting of a pump, one hundred feet of pipe, and a heat exchanger to remove 1 Mw of heat from various aqueous thorium oxide slurries. The rheological properties of the slurries were varied over a range of yield stresses from 0 to 1.5 lb/sq ft and of coefficients of rigidity from 1/2 to 2 centipoise. Two different cases were studied: a heat exchanger having fixed axial and radial delta T in which the tube length was allowed to vary and a heat exchanger having fixed tube length in which the axial and radial delta T were allowed to vary. It was shown that the pump power must be increased by a factor of 15 to 30 in order to maintain satisfactory operation of the heat exchanger as the slurry yield stress is increased form 0 to 1.5 lb/sq ft. However the pump power is essentially independent of heat exchanger tube diameter for any given slurry. The rated capacity of a slurry heat exchange is essentially independent of slurry yield stress and coefficient of rigidity, provided that the tube velocity can be suitably increased as the slurry yield stress in increased.

Various nuclear characteristics of two-region spherical homogeneous reactors have been computed in order to provide information for the design of HRE-3. Equilibrium isotope concentrations were established using an ORACLE code, and a two-group model was used to obtain critical concentrations and flux distributions. Breeding ratio is plotted as a function of reactor size, blanket thorium concentration, and other design and operating parameters, and the time required for a demonstration breeding is discussed. Tables of results, including neutron balances, are given for selected reactors. a number or relations are presented for estimating the effects of fission products, copper, corrosion products, H2O, and the core tank on breeding ratio.
