Post-Test Physical, Chemical and Metallurgical Analysis of SNAPTRAN-3 Fuel (open access)

Post-Test Physical, Chemical and Metallurgical Analysis of SNAPTRAN-3 Fuel

The fuel element damage which occurred during the SNAPTRAN-3 Destructive Test of a Snap 10A/2 reactor is described. Chemical analysis of the fuel indicated that approximately 15% of the hydrogen was released and that the core flux was higher toward the center both radially and axially. Metallurgical analysis of the fuel determined the presence of the epsilon, delta, and gamma phases in the grain structure and evidence of a possible alpha or beta phase.

Pilot Plant Development Studies of a Continuous Process for Recovering Uranium from Nichrome Fuels (open access)

Pilot Plant Development Studies of a Continuous Process for Recovering Uranium from Nichrome Fuels

Report documenting a process for recovering uranium from nichrome fuels (HTRE). This is accomplished by dissipating the fuel into a mixture of HCl-HNO3, stripping away chlorine ions with HN03, and recovering the uranium via tributyl phosphate solvent extraction.
