Use of borosilicate-glass raschig rings as a neutron absorber in solutions of fissile material: Proposed Revision 2 to Regulatory Guide 3. 1

Technical Report · Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:6712460

Section 70.22, ''Contents of Applications,'' of 10 CFR Part 70, ''Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,'' requires that applications for a specific license to own, acquire, deliver, receive, possess, use, or transfer special nuclear material contain proposed procedures to avoid accidental conditions of criticality. Procedures for this purpose include incorporating neutron-absorbing material such as boron in process equipment. This regulatory guide provides guidance for complying with this portion of the Commission's regulations by describing procedures acceptable to the NRC staff for the prevention of criticality accidents by use of borosilicate-glass raschig rings as a neutron absorber in solutions of fissile material.
