The Solubility of Oxygen in Uranyl Sulphate Solutions at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract: "The solubility of oxygen in uranyl sulphate solutions and in water at 212, 275, and 325 F, and at oxygen partial pressures up to 1500 psia was investigated. The results are presented in tabular and graphic form. The solubility is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen. The ratio of solubility in the uranyl sulphate solution to solubility in water at the same temperature and pressure is a function of the concentration of the salt in solution."

Determination of Rare Earths in Refined Uranium : Topical Report (open access)

Determination of Rare Earths in Refined Uranium : Topical Report

Abstract: "Rare-earth analyses were performed on several samples of refined uranium oxide and nitrate, using a modified cellulose column procedure. Rare earths were not detectable in samples of 0.03 shotgun of less. Detection limits were from 0.0005 to 0.015 ppm. Negligible quantities of low-cross-section rare earths were found in less pure uranium samples, obtained during start-up operations of the pilot plant at the Feed Materials Production Center, primarily those rare earths of greater than average abundance in nature. No correlation was found between rare-earth content and shotgun values. Rare earths do not appear to be contributing significantly to the neutron absorption of refined uranium. A modified cellulose column procedure, which includes a preconcentration solvent-extraction step, is described. Radioactive tracer tests indicating rare-earth recoveries by the method of >98 per cent are reported."

Final report on Production Test 105-528-A -- Alteration of two C-Pile horizontal safety rods for temperature distribution control (open access)

Final report on Production Test 105-528-A -- Alteration of two C-Pile horizontal safety rods for temperature distribution control

Pile temperature control is normally maintained by using four horizontal rods, two ``long`` rods extending to the far side of the pile and two ``short`` rods whose tips are on the near side. (1) This procedure prevents cycling of ``hot spots`` about the pile, but does not achieve symmetrical horizontal temperature distribution. Prior to pile operation the cadmium-containing cans were removed from the near ends of the two ``long`` control rods, numbers 5 and 11, at C pile, so that when these rods were in the ``full in`` position their poisoning effect outside the flattened region at the near side of the pile would be small. By using these ``half rods`` in conjunction with ``short`` rods it was expected that a nearly symmetrical horizontal temperature distribution could be maintained. A comparison of near-to- far temperature distribution at C-pile with other piles indicates that gains in production of 4% during early operation of a pile and 3% during later equilibrium operation can be realized by using the half-rods. On the basis of these observations ``half-rods`` are to be incorporated in the K-piles currently under construction. It is recommended that the ``long`` control rods in existing piles be replaced by rods altered …
