Comparison of Radiation-Induced Graft Copolymerization Untilizing Electron Accelerators and Isotope Sources as Radiation Initiators

"Graft polymers were made by Co60 mutual irradiation of mixtures of styrene and methyl acrylate in contact Teflon. These graft copolymers were analyzed by infra-red absorption and their composition determined. The composition of the graft copolymer formed from styrene and methyl acrylate was different from that which is predicted by the copolymer composition equation."

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra (open access)

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra

"The previously found maximum in the cosmic radiation energy spectrum is discussed, and the possibility that it arises in part from a misinterpretation of the data due to oversimplifying assumptions about the composition of the beam is examined. The importance that lack of recognition of isotopic composition may have is pointed out, and it is clear that this importance is strongly dependent on the measurements made and on the cut-off rigidity."

Preliminary Design of a 10-Mw(t) Pebble-Bed Reactor Experiment (open access)

Preliminary Design of a 10-Mw(t) Pebble-Bed Reactor Experiment

The objectives of this study have been to examine the problems of the pebble-bed reactor concept and to conceive a design of a facility for investigating the feasibility of this type of reactor. The design must provide for adequate leaktightness of the contaminated-gas system and adequate maintenance of contaminated components, the most vital feasibility questions of the concept.

Recommended high-tank temperatures for maintenance of high-tank backup support. Revision 1 (open access)

Recommended high-tank temperatures for maintenance of high-tank backup support. Revision 1

This document consists of information about the cooling systems of Hanford Production Reactors. It is the purpose of this letter, written May 8, 1961, to update recommendations of high-tank temperatures required to insure acceptable high-tank backup support. It does not appear practicable to relate the somewhat arbitrary standards of reference for backup support to process operating limits, i.e., reactor power levels, particularly as a mandatory requirement. For this reason, we have chosen at this time not to include these limits as a process standards` requirement. Considerable emphasis should be placed on insuring that the high-tank backup support be maintained in the maximum practical manner. Tables are attached showing high-tank temperature versus reactor power level relationships to satisfy the intent of our backup criteria and, through compliance, will insure that high-tank flow rates will be adequate during a reactor emergency following the loss of electrical power and steam.

Production test IP-584-D: Irradiation of target assemblies in the KER Loops (open access)

Production test IP-584-D: Irradiation of target assemblies in the KER Loops

Nine inch long aluminum clad Li-Al alloy target elements contained in 35 miI wall Zr-2 cans are authorized for irradiation in KER-1 and KER- 2 for up to 150 equilibrium operating days. The Li-Al elements will be irradiated in 1.9 inch OD, 1.5 inch ID Zr-2 flow distributing sleeves. Normal N inner fuel elements in Zr-2 sleeves will included in the tube loadings to provide sufficient heat to maintain the loop at the desired operating temperature.

Use of depleted uranium for higher isotope Pu (open access)

Use of depleted uranium for higher isotope Pu

It was stated by HAPO representatives at meetings held in Washington and Savannah River on May 1st and 2nd, that roughly 200 kgs of Pu of 18 percent Pu-240 could be furnished by July 1, 1965 to Savannah River for their proposed Cm-244 program. The Pu would be produced by irradiating .2 percent U-235 depleted uranium for a period of roughly ten months. The reactivity required for the depleted uranium irradiation would be furnished by .947 percent U-235 enriched uranium. Nine tons of slightly enriched uranium would be required for each ton of depleted uranium during its complete irradiation. To implement this program to deliver Pu of high isotope content by July 1, 1965 will require immediate internal program approvals and appropriate implementation steps. These steps will include design and specification of the depleted uranium ordering appropriate quantities of E and depleted; determining and ordering appropriate canning components; and determining reactor loading patterns. Special attention will ultimately be required in the separation of the reactor products. The additional quantities of E-metal required for the loading will probably necessitate early installation of the annular type Purex dissolver.

Nuclear Safety Program (open access)

Nuclear Safety Program

While the safety status of the Richland facilities has in the past been deemed adequate all aspects of nuclear technology have progressed and evolved including standards of nuclear safety. During FY 1968 the nuclear safety R&D efforts continued along the lines and at about the schedule predicted at the beginning of the year. Hence, the safety problems to be studied have been identified and the program seems well-defined. While some program modifications and changes in emphasis are to be expected, the five-year outline shown here is considered to be a reasonable representation of the safety work of highest priority to be studied.
