The criteria contained in this report have been established to provide the technical bases for the design modifications involved in the K-Reactor tube replacement. The ultimate intent of these criteria is to provide the basic technical data and concepts to assure: (1) technical feasibility and operability of the reactor system as modified, (2) operation of the reactor and its services to minimize nuclear and radiation hazards, and (3) appropriate lifetime of the reactor and its service facilities as modified. The criteria are appropriately broad and may not contain all the data necessary to accomplish detail design. The information contained herein shall serve as a basis for evaluation and approval of all portions of the modification relating to the process as indicated in the above three points.

The KSE-3 element, a 1.6% enriched Zr-2 Jacketed tubular element nominally 1.74 inch O.D. by 1.05 inch I.D., was designed for irradiation in the KER loops to simulate the behavior of an N-reactor outer fuel tube. Three charges of these fuel elements have been irradiated under PT-IP-363-A: one in KER-2 to 1985 MWD/T, one KER-3 to 3555 MWD/T, and one in KER-4 to 1.195 MWD/T. This document provides the calculated powers and temperatures for each fuel element during the time it was irradiated.

In a study based on optimistic expectations of waste composition from future fission product separations processes, estimated costs for management of wastes from which 90 and 99% of all fission products were removed were from 70 to 80% of those for management of waste from which no fission products were removed. This cost difference is not believed to be sufficient to pay for the separation and final disposal of the fission products, which was not included in the waste management costs; hence, separation does not represent an economic route for waste management unless a substantial market for the fission products exists to pay most of the costs. As a basis for this study, it was assumed that after fission product removal the waste was identical to neutralized Purex waste in volume and composition of major ingredients. The sequential steps in the management of waste from processing 1500 metric tons per year of uranium converter fuel irradiated to 10,000 Mwd/ton were: interim storage of liquid waste, conversion to solids by pot calcination, interim storage of calcined solid waste, shipment of 1000 miles, and final disposal in a salt mine. Minimum-cost schemes were worked out involving optimum choices of interim liquid and …

An experimental investigation of the interdiffusion and forced-flow behavior of helium and argon in Speer Moderator No. 1 graphite was performed. The data were employed to determine a mutual diffusion coefficient and to verify certain superposed-flow equations. In addition, two series of experiments at high values of the forced-flow component were conducted to investigate contributions of the backdiffusion mechanism of those pores whose diameters are equal to or smaller than the mean free path of the gas molecules, approaching Rhudsen or free-molecule difiusion. At small forced-flow rates, normal diffusion was the controlling diffusion mechanism, while Knudsen effects were negligible. Flow equations employed previously are applicable to these data. Experiments conducted at high forced-flow rates show the contribution of small channels, which appears to follow the Knudsen diffusion mechanism. A critical value of sweep rate was determined. If the sweep rate is lower than the critical, the contamination will increase, whereas sweep rates greater than this would require large reprocessing capacities without additional decrease in contamination.

Uranium ore concentrates from seventeen world sources were compared to a standard to determine variations in isotopic content. A spread of about 0.06% in U/sup 235/ content was indicated for the concentrates analyzed. Domestic sources showed much wider variations than those from other parts of the world. (auth)

Abstract: The exhibit shows that colloidal aggregates (10 to 20 mu) of human serum albumin I131 may be used safely by intravenous injection to perform photoscans of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and salivary glands in man. Large particle size suspensions (10 to 50 mu) of the same material are being investigated experimentally in animals for scanning the lungs after intravenous injection and the brain following injection into an internal carotid artery. The advantages of this test material are the relatively low radiation exposure to the target organs and the number of organs that may be examined. Radiation exposure is low because of the rapid turnover in the target organs and removal from the body, mainly by urinary excretion, within 72 hours. The mechanism of liver-spleen localization with this organic colloid is the same as for inorganic colloidal radiogold198, namely, rapid removal from the blood by the phagocytic cells of the liver and spleen. However, in contrast to the inorganic colloid, which remains in the phagocytic cells permanently, albumin is digested by proteolytic enzymes and the I131 abel is set free to re-enter the general circulation. With the thyroid blocked, the I131 is excreted mainly in the urine as free …
