Transfer measurement statistic derived from Purex processing measurements` quality control program, second half of 1965 (open access)

Transfer measurement statistic derived from Purex processing measurements` quality control program, second half of 1965

This report gives an analysis of the audit data obtained during the last half of 1965 at eight transfer stations: L9 plutonium product, K6 uranium product, F15 salt waste, D5 dissolved feed, F18 utility waste, G8 organic wash waste, R8 organic wash waste, and U3 laboratory waste. Two ways of improving the Purex quality control program are described.

Unusual operation, KE Reactor, January 16--January 20, 1966 (open access)

Unusual operation, KE Reactor, January 16--January 20, 1966

Following the startup of the KE Reactor on January 16, 1966, a severe power oscillation, which was confined primarily to the top of the reactor, was experienced. The purpose of this report is to describe the transients which occurred and relate the control measure taken to dampen the oscillation.

Research and Engineering Operation, N-Reactor Department monthly record report (open access)

Research and Engineering Operation, N-Reactor Department monthly record report

The reactor was manually scrammed from 3870 Mw on January 4 due to a rupture suspect. The failure was subsequently identified as a fretting type on the inner surface of a single tube test fuel element. The evidence indicates that a buggy spring support vibrating against the inner spring of the fuel caused the clad perforation. The remaining column of single tube fuel was discharged. The reactor operated at 3730 Mw until January 7, when the loss of instrument air supply caused the reactor to scram. Upon reinstatement of the instrument air supply the reactor was started up on January 8 and achieved 4000 Mw operation on January 10. After the startup on January 8, the plant operated at essentially full power until January 13. At this time a scram occurred due to loss of header pressure on the steam supply to the drive turbines. The scram was found to have been due to energizing an improperly wired control panel which was a part of the tie-in of the sixth cell work. While the reactor was down, heat exchanger 3B was hydrostatically tested and repaired. A leak in the auxiliary plant boiler was also repaired and an inspection of the …

Contamination control: Columbia River monthly report, January 1966

It is the purpose of this report to present data obtained from the routine reactor effluent radioactivity monitoring program as well as the results obtained from the research and development program directed toward the reduction of effluent radioactivity. Samples of the effluent from each reactor are obtained each weekday during operation and analyzed for P{sup 32}, As{sup 76}, Np{sup 239}, and Cr{sup 51}.

Gamma spectrum, count rate, and dose rate measurements of the Columbia riverbank from Vernita to Sacajawea (open access)

Gamma spectrum, count rate, and dose rate measurements of the Columbia riverbank from Vernita to Sacajawea

The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiological conditions that exist on the riverbank of the Columbia River. Included was a comparative study of the suitability of three instruments to measure the dose rates. These instruments were a NaI (T1) scintillation counter normally used for aerial monitoring, a bioplastic scintillation counter normally used as a road monitor, and a portable 40 liter ionization chamber normally used to measure very low gamma dose rates. The selection of representative sites for the comparative study was based on an initial GM survey of the general areas in question. Seven sites were studied--from Vernita Ferry Landing above the Hanford project to Sacajawea Park below Pasco.
