A Study of Reactor Systems for the Production of Tritium and Radioactive Cobalt (open access)

A Study of Reactor Systems for the Production of Tritium and Radioactive Cobalt

"A conceptual design study of reactors for the join production of tritium and colbat-60 has been made. The study covered a family of four reactors raging in thermal power from 16.5 MW to 150 MW, and designed for corresponding annual productions ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 million curies of tritium respectively."--P. v.

Summary of HRT Run 14 (open access)

Summary of HRT Run 14

This report presents a detailed study of HRT Run 14, which was abruptly terminated by the formation of a hole in the Zircaloy-2 core tank. In this run the reactor was operated at high temperature and pressure for ten days from March 25 to April 4, 1958. Nuclear power operation extended from March 29 until April 4, when fuel solution leaked into the heavy-water blanket. The maximum power level attained was 6.4 Mw.

Calculations for Irradiation of Natural UO2-ThO2 (open access)

Calculations for Irradiation of Natural UO2-ThO2

Calculations are given for eighteen stainless steel clad helium bonded specimens of UO2-ThO2 containing normal U to be placed in 6 holes in a holder in a position of the ORR not to exceed a peak unperturbed flux of 4 x 10^14 n.cm^2/sec and irradiated to a peak nvt of 1.96 x 10^21 neutrons/cm^2

Physical Properties of Neutralized Zirflex Waste (open access)

Physical Properties of Neutralized Zirflex Waste

Zirflex cladding waste is to be neutralized to pH 10 before transfer to waste storage tanks. This treatment causes the precipitation of zirconium oxide or hydroxide, which may lead to flow difficulties during transfer. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the physical properties and flow characteristics of the neutralized slurry to assist in the selectin of satisfactory transfer equipment and storage conditions.
