Precipitation of Sodium Diuranate from Pitchblende Liquors
In the treatment of carnotite concentrates, sodium diuranate was prepared by acidifying tricarbonate liquors to eliminate carbon dioxide, and then precipitating the sodium salt by the addition of caustic. Direct precipitation of uranium by the addition of caustic to tricarbonate liquors was used when pitchblende ores were processed, because this procedure was more effective in giving a product with a low molybdenum content. Tests of this method in the laboratory and Pilot Plant indicated that low uranium losses (0.2 to 0.3%) would be encountered with typical liquors if 1.7 to 2.0 lbs of caustic were added for every pound of uranosic oxide in solution. Since losses as high as 3% were incurred in plant operations, further work was undertaken, in an effort to reduce the uranium concentration in the waste liquors.

Preparation and use of Ammonium Diuranate in the Ether Extraction Process
In the ether extraction process, as originally developed, purified uranium dioxide was obtained by evaporation and calcination of the uranyl nitrate solution, followed by calcination of the resultant UO{sub 3}. It was suggested that an alternate procedure might be developed, involving the precipitation of uranium from the nitrate solution as ammonium diuranate. This material could then be calcined to uranosic acid, or reduced directly to the dioxide. It had already been established that ammonium diuranate could be precipitated completely from uranyl nitrate solutions. Experiments were carried out to determine whether a basic nitrate, analogous to a known sulfate salt, would be formed in the process. Both direct reduction of the diuranate to UO{sub 2} and calcination to uranosic acid were investigated to determine the physical characteristics and residual nitrogen of the resultant brown oxide.

Report for General Research August 7 to October 30, 1950
Investigation of the physical and chemical properties of polonium important to its behavior and for the improvement of the quantity and quality produced is being continued. A sample of polonium is approximatelyf 1 x 10{sup 9} disintegrations per minute was counted in a Logac for 250 days in order to determine the half life. A statistical treatment of the results gave a half life of 138.3562 {+-} 0.446 days. Combined with previous calorimetric determinations a new grand mean of 138.3975 {+-} 0.0091 days resulted. The wavelengths of 138 lines appearing in the spark spectrum between 3050A and 3463A (Region 4) have been tentatively assigned to polonium and have a probable error of less than 0.02A. Thirty six lines in Region 6 (4225A to 5675A) tentatively assigned to polonium have a probable error of less than D D6A. A measurement of the resistivity of polonium has given a value of about 95 microohm centimeters, and although the Hall voltage could not be measured with much precision, it was possible to set a maximum value of 0.03 millivolt. These values indicate the polonium is a metallic conductor rather than a semiconductor. A rugged but compact gauge made of stainless steel with a …

Report for General Research January 8, to April 30, 1951 (Alpha - Neutron Volume)
An experimental, gamma-sensitive, coaxial radioelectric cell has been tested by the Control Section. It was found to be as precise as the rotating sample gamma counter but much faster and simpler to operate. A gamma-sensitive, radioelectric cell of improved design has been constructed for the 'Y' Section. A neutron sensitive radioelectric cell has been tested over a range of pressures with various filling gases and with several combinations of hydrogenous electrode backings. Neutron to gamma discrimination ratios as high as 2,000 to 1 were obtained, A multiple electrode, alpha radiation, radioelectric cell using coated plastic electrodes gave increased current output, but the electrode life was quite short. Preliminary life tests indicated that aluminum electroscope foil would give excellent electrode life and techniques were worked out for making good electrodes of both aluminum and of gold electroscope foil. The vacuum-pressure gas system has been redesigned and completely rebuilt (p. 5) The fast-neutron scintillation counter is much smaller and lighter than a B-wall proportional counter and a large moderator. The former is more efficient for polonium-beryllium neutron sources but is less efficient for radium-beryllium neutron sources or for polonium sources producing lower energy neutrons The fast neutron scintillation counter would thus be …

Compilation of data on 51 ruptured slugs
The following tabulation includes information on all uranium slug failures which have occurred through September 26, 1951. The four suspect slugs which are listed were discharged from tubes which gave strong indication of containing ruptures. Although no obvious rupture could be found among the slugs from these tubes, the listed pieces exhibited defects which may be incipient ruptures.

Pile water modifications at DR and H Areas for increased production facilities
A detailed study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of modifying the front and rear face piping at DR and H Areas to permit increased production rates. This study is in conjunction with a larger investigation concerning methods of increasing plant production facilities. The results of the subject study indicate that approximately one year would be required for the design, procurement, and delivery of critical materials, and that the estimated construction shutdown time to complete each unit is 50 work days on a three shifts basis. Although the length of time required to perform the proposed construction work is not in line with the planned 30 day shutdown period, it is believed that the 50 days reflected by this estimate is realistic and necessary. A critical material schedule, design schedule, construction schedule and force requirement charts are presented on pages 9 to 13 inclusive.

History of the project as of February 1, 1951
In 1946, it was recommended, by the district engineer for the War Department, United States Engineer Office, that it was desirable to transfer all of the functions of production to Hanford, a production installation; thereby relieving the Argonne National Laboratory, a research installation, from production duties. This decision was based on the belief by Argonne National Laboratories that the principal problems of production were solved, as a result of a meeting held at Clinton Laboratories, October 25, 1946, during which, Dr. T.S. Chapman discussed with Major F.A. Valente the possibility of Hanford assuming full production responsibility for the product extracted from the irradiation of Special Request. This responsibility was to include the procurement of lithium fluoride, the preparation and canning of the pellets, the irradiation of the slugs, the extraction of the product and its subsequent shipment to the consumer. This report details historical aspects of this program and the P-10 Project.

The use of aluminum sulfate for 100 Areas' process water coagulation
Increases in power levels of the Hanford Piles have resulted in increased demands for process cooling water to the extent that the present filter plants are now operating at or above their design capacity. Further power level increases requiring even more cooling water may demand the operation of the filters considerably above design capacity. It has been proposed that by the use of aluminum sulfate, or filter alum, as a process water coagulant and activated silica as a coagulation aid, the present filter plant capacities could be increased appreciably. In order to investigate the effects of alum-treated water on pile operation, a full-pile production test was authorized in which alum was substituted for the standard ferric sulfate coagulant. This test was started in the 100-F Area on October 10, 1951. The results of the first thirty days of operation were presented in a previous report and served as a basis of the decision to proceed with installation of the activated silica addition facility. This report presents the data, results and conclusions obtained from the start of the test until its termination of December 28, 1951, when the addition of activated silica began.

Evaluation of anodic films on process tube exteriors
The investigation reported in this document concerns itself with studies of the mechanism of corrosion on the exterior of process tubes and with studies of the protective qualities of anodic films which might prevent corrosion on the exterior of process tubes. Sections of process tubing coated with Aqua-Dag, a colloidal graphite suspension, were included in these tests for comparison purposes as present operating procedures call for the application of Aqua-Dag to the exterior of process tubes for lubrication purposes during the charging of tubes into the piles.
