The Joint Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2 p.m., in room P-63, the Capitol, Hon. Chet Holifield (chairman of the Joint Com- mittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Holifield, Price, Morris, Aspinall, Van Zandt, Westland, and Bates. Also present: James T. Ramey, executive director, Jack R. New- man, George F. Murphy, professional staff members, and Edward J. Bauser, technical adviser, Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. Chairman HOLIFIELD. The committee will come to order. The Joint Committee starts today a series of open hearings on "Radiation Safety and Regulation." It is our hope that during the course of these hearings the committee will receive an accurate pic- ture of current developments in the fields of reactor and radiation safety generally. We look forward to the testimony of distinguished scientists and engineers concerning the technical problems in the young nuclear science. We also look forward to hearing of achievement and progress- at the same time we shall probe into the facts surrounding the tragic loss of three lives at the SL-1 reactor in January of this year. The committee has withheld a hearing on this accident until the Commission had an opportunity to investigate fully and make its report. The Commissioner's report was released on Sunday, June 11, and has been published by the committee as a preprint for this hearing. In the second part of these hearings, we shall consider the recurring problem involved in the merger of regulatory and promotional re- sponsibilities within the AEC. This is a subject we have touched upon many times in the past. The committee will receive the testimony of prominent persons in government, the atomic energy industry, and the legal profession concerning problems in the operation of the AEC regulatory process. We shall also consider carefully recent proposals for a revision of the AEC regulatory organization.'

    UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION REPORT ON THE SL-l INCIDENT, JANUARY 3, 1961 THE GENERAL MANAGER'S BOARD OF INVESTIGATION Curtis A. Nelson, Chairman Clifford K. Beck Peter A. Morris Donald I. Walker Forrest Western U. S. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION Idaho Operations Office Idaho Falls, Idaho INFORMATION FOR PRESS AND RADIO FOR RELEASE 61-24 (SL-1) (In Newspapers dated Sunday, Telephone JA 2-6640, Extension 217 June 11, 1961) NOTICE TO EDITORS: Attached is the narrative section of the Board of Investigation's report presenting findings on the SL-1 (Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1) accident which occurred last January 3 at the Atomic Energy Commission's National Reactor Testing Station near Idaho Falls. 6961 x x x 1. SUMMARY A. Nature of Report This report by the Board of Investigation is in response to the request of the General Manager of the Atomic Energy Commission to report on the SL-1 reactor incident. At the time of this writing (May 1961), there still remains substantial doubt concerning the initiating event causing the explosion within the reactor pressure vessel. The Board, therefore, feels constrained to restrict its observations concerning cause and responsibility to observable or demonstrable situations and events. With this reservation, we present our findings at this time. This report summarizes the current information before the Board pertaining to the circumstances surrounding the explosion on January 3, 1961, within the reactor vessel of the SL-1 (ALPR) reactor plant. Prior to the incident, there appear to have been a continuing deterioration of the burnable poison strips within the core and a worsening of the scram performance of the control rod system, neither of which circumstances necessarily was directly related to the incident.

  • Advanced Development of Pulverized Coal Firing Technologies
    Advanced Development of Pulverized Coal Firing Technologies TAMURA Masato : General Manager, Combustion Engineering Department, Power Plant Division, Energy Systems Operations WATANABE Shinji : Combustion Engineering Department, Power Plant Division, Energy Systems Operations OONO Emi : Manager, Combustion Engineering Department, Power Plant Division, Energy Systems Operations ITOKAZU Ryuunosuke : Combustion Engineering Department, Power Plant Division, Energy Systems Operations KOZAKI Takahiro : Basic Design Department, Power Plant Division, Energy Systems Operations IHI has been developing combustion technologies which give very low environmental impact. Various equipment and numerical tools support the development process at each stage. Small- and large-scale test furnaces are used for evaluating actual combustion behaviour. Numerical simulation is also used to assist theoretical understanding. An example of recent development is the realization of very low Air/Coal ratio burners for dried lignite coal firing. Another commercialized burner made it possible to reduce slagging when burning coals which have a low ash melting temperature, such as sub-bituminous coals. The dynamic and static performance of pulverizers, which play a very important role in fuel burning process as pulverized fuel size dominates burnout behaviour, has been improved. This paper gives an outline of recent development of combustion technologies. A large-scale coal combustion test facility which is newly installed is also described. 1. Introduction (PIT) and Demonstration Combustion Test Furnaces (CFT), which IHI will also use in the future. In addition, Among the many types of fuels used to generate power, we have built a new Coal Combustion Test Facility coal is essential for energy security as it is an inexpensive (CCTF) to further promote the development of combustion and abundant resource deposited throughout the world in technologies.

  • AP-42, Vol. I, CH1.1 Bituminous and Subbituminous Coal Combustion
    1.1 Bituminous And Subbituminous Coal Combustion 1.1.1 General Coal is a complex combination of organic matter and inorganic mineral matter formed over eons from successive layers of fallen vegetation. Coals are classified by rank according to their progressive alteration in the natural metamorphosis from lignite to anthracite. Coal rank depends on the volatile matter, fixed carbon, inherent moisture, and oxygen, although no single parameter defines a rank. Typically, coal rank increases as the amount of fixed carbon increases and the amount of volatile matter and moisture decreases. Bituminous coals are by far the largest group and are characterized as having lower fixed carbon and higher volatile matter than anthracite. The key distinguishing characteristics of bituminous coal are its relative volatile matter and sulfur content as well as its slagging and agglomerating characteristics. Subbituminous coals have higher moisture and volatile matter and lower sulfur content than bituminous coals and may be used as an alternative fuel in some boilers originally designed to burn bituminous coals.1 Generally, bituminous coals have heating values of 10,500 to 14,000 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb) on a wet, mineral-matter-free basis.2 As mined, the heating values of typical U.S. bituminous coals range from 10,720 to 14,730 Btu/lb.3 The heating values of subbituminous coals range from 8,300 to 11,500 Btu/lb on a wet, mineral-matter-free basis2, and from 9,420 to 10,130 Btu/lb on an as-mined basis.3 Formulae and tables for classifying coals are given in Reference 2.
