Limits of pile operating level
This report, compiled by Mr. W. R. Lewis of the Pile Technology Division, is a revision of Document HW-15516 (January 5, 1950) in consideration of new knowledge obtained during the past year. The document discusses the technical factors involved in attaining higher power levels in the various Hanford Piles. The purpose of this presentation is to summarize the present operating limitations and the possibilities of increased production rates. The limitations discussed are: A. Reactivity and flattening; B. Aluminum thimbles; C. Graphite temperature considerations; D. Boiling or vapor binding considerations; E. Tube and slug jacket corrosion; F. Effluent water activity; G. Distortion of the biological shields; H. Radiation considerations; and I. Pile control system capacity.
