The GCRE-I hazard summary report is supplemented in the following areas: geometry and operation of the steam cooling system, the reactor coolant by-pass, and by-pass valving; the means by which by-passed circuits are prevented from remaining unintentionally disabled; design details, and details of procedure for core flooding operations. (A.C.)

The performance, reliability, stability, and reactivity lifetime variations of the Shippingport PWR are determined under normal steady state conditions. These characteristics are studied over a period of 758 EFPH, at a power level of about 60 Mw(e). Flux-tilt corrections and plant operations during this time are described. (T.F.H.)

From abstract: "A scintillation detector has a pulse height output which is a linear function of the energy of impinging gamma radiation. A pulse height analyzer system determines the amplitude distribution of this train of pulses. The system also displays this information graphically in a form which is convenient for further analysis."

Report issued by the APDA over fuel enrichment processes at the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant. As stated in the introduction, "the results that directly apply to the determination of the enrichment will be given" (p. 6). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

From introduction: This report includes a brief description of the stratigraphy and structure, and data on petrology, mineralogy, and chemical and physical properties of the rocks that are exposed in the U12b.01 tunnel of the U12b (Rainier) tunnel system.

Report on the principle of measuring the time-of-flight of neutrons, magnetic-core storage of detector pulses, how pulses are stored, current generator, storage cycle generator, and cathode ray oscillograph.

The following report discusses the construction of two heavy-ion linear accelerators, one at the the University of California Radiation Laboratory and the other at Yale University. The goal for these accelerators is to produce ions of masses up to that of neon with energies of 10 Mev per nucleon.

It has been proposed that Pu-238 be produced by irradiating neptunium solution in one or more loops in a reactor and then recovering the Pu-238 in a close-coupled separations plant. Such a scheme could replace the more conventional scheme of solid element fabrication, irradiation, and reprocessing for plutonium and neptunium recovery. This document presents the advantages of such a scheme from the standpoint of product purity and Pu-238 production.

Significant production gains could be made by improving metal rupture performance. A means of achieving this is by depeaking the axial flux distribution, thus reducing the maximum specific power for a given tube-power. The flux traverse program has provided some knowledge of front-to-rear flux, and was instrumental in prompting a change in the equilibrium HCR pattern during February, 1958. A ``before and after`` comparison of in-pile flux conditions is presented, and suggestions for further improvement are given.

This is the monthly report for the Hanford Laboratories Operation, February, 1959. Reactor fuels, chemistry, dosimetry, separation processes, reactor technology, financial activities, biology operation, physics and instrumentation research, employee relations, operations research and synthesis operation, programming, radiation protection operation, and laboratories auxiliaries operation area discussed.

Trends in reactor operation and maintenance have created the need for a rear face Hanford reactor manipulator which can routinely perform certain maintenance and operational functions, and which under high radiation exposure conditions can permit ruptured slug removal or other emergency type operations tb be conducted with little or no personnel radiation exposure. Because of the need for several tools, it was decided that the most desirable approach to a satisfactory manipulator program would be to provide a multi-tool manipulator which could do several distinct tasks. Of these tasks removing the rear face nozzle caps to facilitate removal of ruptured slugs and performance of ruptured slug removal operation were the most profitable routine functions which could be accomplished by a manipulator. The conventional mechanical arm was considered for use in non-routine situations such as recovery of slugs lodged in rear face piping or other disaster type situations which on occasions do happen. To insure the quickest return on the economic benefits of the program, the cap remover development was conducted as a separate study since it is more definitive then,the remainder of the manipulator program. A second phase involving the application of the mechanical arm and development of specialized tools …
