POWER LEVEL AND ENRICHMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE HANFORD TEST PILE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4028219
Flux levels were determined for the Hanford Test Pile by measuring the current from several ion chambers with a galvanometer. From these measurements, calculations were made of total power level. Results indicated that maximum power levels of the order of 10,000 watts and maximum lrradiations of 10,000 watt- hours are permissible. Enrichment of the Test Pile with up to 100 inhours of calculated strength of enrichment was found to be permissible using certain procedures. The radiation levels to be expected at various points in the building are listed. (M.C.G.)
