- Radioactive waste tanks at Savannah River plant
- Date(s)
- 1955
- Contributor(s)
- E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
- Description
-
Huge concrete encased steel tanks provide containment for radioactive by products at the Savannah River Project. This picture, taken during installation of the tanks, shows forms for the concrete pre-stressing. Once installed, the tanks are backfilled and covered completely with dirt. The tanks sits on a heavy steel saucer which in turn sits on a 6 inch concrete pad. They are 85 feet in diameter and about 34 feet high. Tank capacities range from 750,000 to 1,300,00 gallons.

Total cost to build plant was $1,300,000,000 and involved more than 8,100 companies of which 5,745 were small firms. More than 138,000 purchase orders costing more $500,000,000 were placed. More than 87,000 orders totaling about $245,000,000 went to small firms. There were 38,500 people employed at the construction peak, 5,000 of them technically trained.

The size of the site is 200,000 acres, four times the size of the District of Columbia. Two world safety records for construction were set and 6,000,000 man hours were worked without lost time injury. 75,000,000 vehicles miles were logged per year on the project, 8,500 vehicles per day. National average traffic death rate seven 100,000,000 vehicle miles on the project, 2.7.

- Heavy water facility at Savannah River plant
- Date(s)

- Contributor(s)
- E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
- Description
-
This facility at the Savannah River Plant produces heavy water for use in the Savannah River reactors. The heavy water produced here also is shipped to domestic and foreign users by the Atomic Energy Commission on sale or lease basis. The plant actually separates heavy water from the raw water of the Savannah River. Wherever there is water or moisture, heavy water occurs in normal water at the rate of one ounce to every 52 gallons.

The field assemblies are shown under twenty feet of water and behind empty fuel hangers. For the high flux operation, the Atomic Energy Commission has converted a reactor from military to peaceful applications. The objectives of this operation are to product trans-uranium isotopes and to irradiate materials for cooperating national laboratories.

Show moreThe field assemblies are shown under twenty feet of water and behind empty fuel hangers. For the high flux operation, the Atomic Energy Commission has converted a reactor from military to peaceful applications. The objectives of this operation are to product trans-uranium isotopes and to irradiate materials for cooperating national laboratories. The neutron flux, heat flux and coolant velocity of the high flux charge are believed to be higher than those of any other reactor. High flux operation is possible in Savannah River reactors because of the excellent neutron economy of the heavy water moderator and the entrance of heat removal capabilities. (The only light for this photograph was the Cerenkov radiation).
