Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period January 1 - June 30, 1963

This technical report describes development work done on method of particle separation by the Biology Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant during the period January 1 to June 30, 1963, under the Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program. The central effort has been to develop zonal centrifuge systems for the separation of cells and sub-cellular particles, including viruses, and bio-colloids, including proteins and nucleic acids.

Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period July 1 - December 31, 1962

This technical report describes development work done on zonal centrifuge systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant during the period July 1 to December 31, 1962 under the Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program. A basic purpose of this project is to develop new methods for isolating virus particles associated with cancerous cells and tissues. Three classes of rotor systems capable of separating particles ranging in size from whole animal or plant cells to protein or nucleic acid molecules on the basis of either sedimentation rate or density alone have been developed. Experiments with phage particles indicate the feasibility of large-scale virus isolation by continuous-flow centrifugation, followed by isopycnic banding in cesium chloride and velocity sedimentation in sucrose - all steps being carried out sequentially in the same rotor. Zonal rotors using the reorienting gradient principle for molecular separations have been tested to 141,000 rpm (formula). Previous work on zonal centrifugation and future plans for this program are discussed.

Experiments on a Large Volume Electron-Cyclotron Heated Plasma (open access)

Experiments on a Large Volume Electron-Cyclotron Heated Plasma

As part of the thermonuclear effort at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, large volume high-beta plasmas have recently been produced by microwave power at the electron-cyclotron frequency. The original work was done with 13-cm microwave radiation in a magnetic mirror and was reported at Salzburg. Since that time, higher frequency and higher power radiation has been used in a succession of experiments. The current experiments involve heating a plasma in the EPA Facility which has a 3:1 magnetic mirror ratio. Up to 50-kw CW of 3-cm microwave power are applied to the plasma in a large volume cavity.

Calculated data and graphs describing the effects of batch thermal-neutron irradiations on the buildup of fission products in natural uranium, enriched uranium, and thorium are presented together with empirical equations and plots correlating total fission product activities and/or decontamination factors. Fluxes of 1012-1015 are considered.

Relative Biological Hazards of Radiations Expected in Homogeneous Reactors TBR and HPR (open access)

Relative Biological Hazards of Radiations Expected in Homogeneous Reactors TBR and HPR

An evaluation of the relative health hazards of radioisotopes produced in nuclear reactors is reported. The most important hazards were indicated to be I131, the Sr90 - Y90 chain, the Ce144 -Pr144 chain, Sr 89, the Ba140-La40 chain, Y91, the Zr95-Nb95 chain, Pr143, La140 , and Pa233. The most critical body organs affected by air-borne contamination are the thyroid gland, the bone marrow, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. Where possible, continuous daily removal of gaseous and solid fission products from the reactor environment can be shown to permit very significant reductions in the total hazards. Homogeneous reactors, such as the Thermal Breeder Reactor and the Homogeneous Plutonium Producer Reactor, specifically studied in this report, are designed with daily removal cycles and may be considered potentially safer than heterogeneous reactors.

Thorex Thorium Nitrate Product Specifications (open access)

Thorex Thorium Nitrate Product Specifications

Activity and ionic impurity specifications are presented for Thorex thorium nitrate products. Two sets of specifications are given, one set for direct handling during refabrication of production reactor thorium metal slugs and the second for refabrication of future power reactor thorium metal elements by semi-remote technics. Consideration was given to the health hazard problems associated with each process step between the Thorex process and final refabricated source material in order to arrive at these specifications.
