Recommended Limit for Radioactive Liquid Disposal From Hanford Separations Plants to Surface Ponds

The purpose of this report is to establish a practical control limit for the activity density (concentration) of radioactive material that may be permitted in large-volume waste waters discharged from the Hanford separations plants to open ponds on the surface of the ground nearby, in consideration of the radiological hazards,

Products Produced in Continuous Neuron Irradiation of Thorium

Calculated data and graphs describing the effects of continuous thermal-neutron irradiation of thorium, the usual method of operations of homogeneous reactors, are presented.The buildup and decay of U^233, Pa^233, other heavy isotopes, and fission products are considered on the basis of best available cross-section and fission-yield data. The effects of the heavy isotopes and fission products on neutron economy are discussed.
