This report, from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; and employee relations.

Production of Pu and U nitrates, U oxides, Pu metal buttons, and fabricated parts are reported. 135 kCi Sr-90 was isoalted in Purex plant and stored for further Sr-89 decay. The new scrub cartridge in Purex co-decontamination cycle column performed better than the old. Increased Np losses were attributed to failure of plastic plates in 2nd cycle U extraction column.

This report addresses the configuration of Tatum Salt Dome, Lamar County, Mississippi.

From abstract: "The electronic spectra arising from the excitations of pi-electrons in homo-nuclear conjugated bond systems are calculated for 37 aromatic hydrocarbons. The theoretical approach used takes into account overlap effects between different a atoms, correlation between different electrons, variations in internuclear distances, and the influence of non-conjugated neighbors, hydrogen and carbon. Four types of approximations are carried trough for the molecules in order to obtain an estimate of the inadequacies of the theory. From the calculated transition energies and oscillator strengths, theoretical spectra are synthesized and compared with observed spectra. In order to help the interpretation, a decomposition of the transition dipoles into atomic contributions is introduced. The spectra of alternant molecules are succesfully predicted, but the limits of the underlying assumptions appear to be exceeded in the applications to non-alternant systems. The calculations are markedly successful for the peri-condensed systems, which had presented an obstacle to previous treatments. It is found that the calculated spectra are fairly sensitive to small variations in interatomic distances. calculations with exact atomic positions, where available, give considerably better agreement with experimental spectra. The calculations lead to an understanding of the general spectral pattern found in all aromatic hydrocarbons. On this basis the …

Abstract: This technical report describes the changes incurred in the PM-2A by the planned insertion of PM-2A Core II and the replacement of the startup and check sources. PM-2A Core II components were fabricated to specifications very nearly identical to those of PM-2A Core I. The essential difference in the cores is the boron loading which permits PM-2A Core II to meet a "one-stuck rod criteria" at beginning of life. This core has been subjected to a zero power experiment and loading procedures have been developed at the Alco Critical Facility. The nuclear and thermal and hydraulic characteristics are essentially identical to those of Core I and the replacement of the startup and check sources represent no increase in the potential for or magnitude of a hazardous situation.

Report discussing wavelengths and estimated intensities in electrodeless lamp and spark sources presented for 15121 lines of ThI, ThII, ThIII, and ThIV in the spectral range from 2000 to 11550 A. Also contains tables of previously published interferometric values.

A description is presented of the conceptual design of a high- performance, pulsed reactor called the Power Burst Facility (PBF). This reactor is designed to generate power bursts with initial asymptotic periods as short as 1 msec, producing energy releases large enough to destroy entire fuel subassemblies placed in a capsule or flow loop mounted in the reactor, all without damage to the reactor itself. It will be used primarily to evaluate the consequences and hazards of very rapid destructive accidents in reactors representing the entire range of current nuclear technology as applied to power generation, propulsion, and testing. It will also be used to carry out detailed studies of nondestructive reactivity feedback mechanisms in the shortperiod domain. The facility was designed to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate future cores of even more advanced design. The design for the first reactor core is based upon proven technology; hence, completion of the final design of this core will involve no significant development delays. Construction of the PBF is proposed to begin in September 1984, and is expected to take approximately 20 months to complete. (auth)

The effects of strain rate on the stress-strain characteristics of copper and lead were studied by measuring both stress and strain as functions of time using short cylindrical specimens supported at one end on a modified Hopkinson pressure bar and impacted at the other end by a steel projectile. Corresponding stresses and strains were computed according to an elementary nonstrain-rate theory (sometimes referred to as the von Karman theory) in which the dynamic stress-strain curve is assumed to be the same as the static stress- strain curve. Stresses and strains were also computed according to an elementary strain-rate theory (sometimes referred to as the Malvern theory) in which the dynamic stress may exceed the static stress for a given strain by an amount which depends upon the strain rate. It was found that the predictions of the nonstrain- rate theory agreed with measured values only for low impact velocities and for points at least two diameters from the impact end of the specimen. By proper choice of the flow or relaxation constant in the elementary strain-rate theory, measured and computed values of strain, or of stress, but not both simultaneously, could be brought into agreement. In the more general exponentialtype, …

Report discussing how solids subjected to non-uniform temperature change develop internal stresses determined by, (1) the temperature distribution within the solid, and (2) certain physical constants of the material. For two varieties of heating, the equations determining stress have been put in convenient form for practical use, and tables of certain temperature functions show how to determine stresses in a slab, in a cylinder, or in a sphere subjected to either of two modes of heating. The temperature-distribution tables independently provide a useful means for the ready estimation of temperature gradients.
