The macroreticular anion exchange resin, Amberlite IRA-900-OH, and an experimental resin from Ionac Chemical Company were irradiated by a /sup 60/Co source to doses of 5 x 10/sup 7/ rad and 10/sup 8/ rad. These doses approximate or exceed the dose encountered by the deionizer resins in 100-Area service. The loss in exchange capacity and the volume changes of Amberlite IRA-900 on irradiation were similar to those found previously for Amberlite IRA-400. The Ionac experimental resin, which had a considerably lower initial exchange capacity, likewise was not stable to radiation. It is concluded that Amberlite IRA-900 offers no advantage over Amberlite IRA-400 for 100-Area purification service. Since there is little justification for further evaluation of macroreticular resin for 100-Area use, the present work completes RTA-893-R.

Abstract: The boron-carbon equilibrium diagram has been determined by X-ray, metallographic, and thermal analysis of sintered and arc-cast alloys. A single carbide having a range of solubility from approximately 9 to 20 a/o carbon and melting congruently exists in the system. The terminal solubility of carbon in boron is 0.1-0.2a/o. The freezing reaction at the composition and melting temperature of elemental boron; there is a eutectic reaction at 29a/o carbon and 2375 degrees Celcius. No allotropy of boron was observed.

This report is a comparison of findings from the twelve two-ton test batches irradiated in the KE and H reactors with respect to reactor plutonium yield predictions. Included are plans for the application of these findings to improve the accuracy of plutonium yield equations used for Hanford product accountability.

This document details activities of the N-Reactor Department during the month of May 1963.

While it is obvious that a power surge in a Hanford reactor will result in temperature increases of the fuel and water, it is also true that there will be changes in the coolant flow rate and the pressures in each process tube. In addition, if the power increase is of sufficient magnitude, a self-induced flow reduction will occur as a result of pressure changes due to boiling within the process tube. The relations between power, temperatures, flow and pressure following a power surge are difficult to calculate with precise accuracy. However, a knowledge of these relations is important for incorporation with physics considerations to allow prediction of maximum fuel temperatures following a power surge and to specify detection instrumentation for proper reactor control. Fairly precise information of temperatures, flow, and pressure in a single process tube following a power surge can be obtained using an electrically heated model in the 189-D heat transfer laboratory. Obtaining such information for all possible conditions and for all the Hanford reactors would be a fairly large job. However, two cases were run with an existing full scale electrically heated model of a single column of fuel elements in a C reactor overbore process …

A new concept for separation of the isotopes of uranium has been developed. The invention consists of a new process with essentially no moving parts. The new process is called the Ionized Vapor Process and is described in this report.

Ex-reactor high temperature, high pressure recirculating water loop defect-tests have been made on SPR size coextruded fuel tubes. The behavior in terms of fuel corrosion loss and fuel shape distortion for ``pin-hole`` type defects has been determined. Effects of annular spacing on the defect-test behavior and the influence on the mechanical and metallurgical conditions of adjacent components has been observed.
