Summary report on 49 L ferrocyanide aerosol tests TO208-1 and TO209-1
- Fauske and Associates, Inc., Burr Ridge, IL (United States)
This report presents the results of the first test conducted in a series of tests directed by Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC). For the record, Ref.[l] is included as Appendix A. The test discussed in this document, designated as T0127-1, is a ferrocyanide reaction propagation rate determination test conducted under an inert argon atmosphere of 10 atm. abs. (130 psig). The test was conducted in a new 49 L containment volume described in Section 2.0. The test sample was dry In-Farm 1 bottom flow sheet material. The test protocol was similar to that described in Refs.[2 and 3]. However, as requested in Ref.[l] supplemental gas sample taking procedures were prepared and followed as described in Section 4.0 and Appendix B. Test results shoved an inverse reaction propagation velocity of {approx}4 sec/cm. This is about 50% faster than a prior similar test conducted under 1 atm. abs. pressure. For further comparison, this burn velocity of the ferrocyanide test is also about an order-of-magnitude slower than a slow burn gun powder at 1 atm. Pre- and post-test gas samples were taken and have been forwarded to WHC for further analyses. Details of these results are presented in Section 5.0 and comparisons with other similar reaction propagation rate tests are discussed in Section 6.0.
