topee, hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, chromium, iron, nickel, and long-lived

fission products vers required on various of the th irty -five samples per run

vhich <vere to bo submitted from Rain process solutions; the methods research,

development and adaptation is described in "Terminal Report on the Radiolan-

thonum Laboratory, I I . Analytical Methods," Research and Adaptation (Ref. 69).

Due to the extreme urgency of the program and the rapid progress expected of

the Analytical Section Design Unit (Refs, 21, 27# 33# 35# and 58) , i t was

apparent that some means of review of the design effort should be established

within the Analytical Section. Therefore, the MJ-3 Analytical Laboratory De­

sign Review Coanlttoo was fanned and i t s responsib ilities and operations de­

fined (Ref, 36), The conmittee was to review c ritica lly the following points:

1# Plena for Operation of the Laboratory

How each determination was to be carried out; the adequacy of the

principles behind and the lim itations of each analytical method.

2. Plans for Equipment Maintenance

How each end every piece of equipment In the Analytical Line and

in tho Spoctrochemical Laboratory was to be maintolnod in service­

able condition.

3. Plans fo r Decontamination

How the In terio r surfaces of Cubicle and Determination Caves and

oqulpmont in these units was to be decontaminated when the necessity

arose.

SECRET

13- HM-17769SEGREr

4, Plano for Health Safety

How adequate protection for personnel vas to be obtained and main­

tained.

Periodic findings and recoanendatlons of the committee are reported In the

Meeting Minutes of the MJ-3 Analytical Laboratory Dealga Review Committee (Refs. 36 , 39, **3, 46, 52, and 53).

Semi-monthly progress reports were issued jointly by the leader of the Design

Unit and the technical liaison (Refs, 34, 37, 42, 47, 57, 62, and 66).

The Design and Construction Divisions were to be responsible for the procure­

ment and installation of the equipment designed by the Analytical Section and

the following procedures were established for approval of designs and for

procurement. After completion of blueprints by the Analytical 8ection, pre­

liminary copies were to be Issued for connent to the MJ-3 Analytical Labora­

tory Design Review Committee, to the Contact Engineers Croup and to the De­

sign end Construction Divisions, After comments were made and noted, these

blueprints were returned to the Analytical Section Design tbit and any

necessary corrections, revisions or compromises were to be worked out and

Incorporated in the drawings. Copies of the revised prints were lien to be

submitted to the Rala Working Committee for final approval. When approved

by this c omit tee, the blueprints were to be transmitted to the Design and

Construction Divisions, This procedure vaa to be followed on all large

equipment for the laboratory. Installation of the laboratory apparatus de­

signed for each determination method was to remain the responsibility of the

4. Radiation Hazards. Hazards of this type wore expected to be of a

much higher level than those encountered in any process heretofore

need at Hanford.

5. Docontaminability. All equipment and apparatus should be easily and

quickly docantaminablo.

6. Scheduling of Design Effort. The laboratory vas scheduled for full

scale operation by January 1, 1951* A late start had been made and

since many of the equipment items for the laboratory vould be In the

long range procurement category, the designs of these items vould

have to bo expedited if deadlines vere to be met. Some parts of

the building shell could not bo designed until equipment designs vere

complete (Refs. 21, 27# 33# 35# and 58).

The problems which demanded answers will be discussed in the following orders

A. Types of Laboratory Operation and Equipment

B. TypeB of Manipulators

C. Types of Viewers

D. Semple Storage Facilities

E. Decontamination Facilities

F. Spoctrochomical Facilities

A. Typos of Laboratory Operation end Equipment. There are two general

classifications into which radiochemical laboratory operation can be divided.

They orej

1. Tho Open Face Hood - Open Top Cave, or barricade and distant handling

type. This type of operation is the older and more commonly used

system. It involves simply the removal of the material to a safe dis-

taaco from the operator and performance of the neoeeoary operations

with suitable tonga and distant handling equipnent; observation of

tho work Is by direct viewing. It 1? obvious that such arrangements

are suitable In control lab oratorios only for samples of lower

activity levels. In cases where higher beta and gonna activity are

encountered, a suitable thickness of a shielding material is Inter*

posed between the operator and the material. The operator In such a

case has been forced to operate either over or around tho shield; ob­

servation of the work is by mirror system or periscope.

2. The second method lo a much newer development and still somewhat un­

tried. However, early indications show the system to be greatly

superior to Its predecessor. In this system, which has been called

the "Package Technique", the radioactive material is completely en­

closed, contained, and adequately shielded on all sides at all times

within specially designed cubicles or work cells. This protects the

operator from any possibility of inadvertent overexposure except

under emergency conditions. The system insures that the spread of

contamination la restricted to the Interior surfaces of the enclosed

area. Manipulators are designed to operate through the shielding

barrier either by distant handling (involving mechanical joints in

the shielding vail), or by remote control (involving electrical cir­

cuits designed to actuate operating mechanisms within the shielding).

Viewing is obtained through windows, mirror systems, or periscopes.

Since Hanford policy has always been to provide the safest working conditions

possible, the "Package Technique" was chosen (Refs. 3 end 12) for the primary

reason that radioactive materials are completely isolated from the operator

While not as expensive as the Universal Manipulator/ th is equip­

ment is sufficiently costly that I t cannot he considered expendable.

4-. Choke Wire and Flexible Shaft Manipulators: This type of manipulator

i s very useful where push-pull and ro tary motion is desired and

allows easy operation around radius corners. The disadvantages are

th a t backlash is sometimes encountered and tha t the working parts

must he rig idly mounted and fixed in position in re s t oases.

5. The Lead Screw or Iathe-Bed Manipulator: This system is more a con­

veyor than a manipulator system; i t i s quite cumbersome, heavy end

expensive. I t i s very d ifficu lt to provide and maintain adequate

fume protection fo r the accurately machined parte. All parte must

he specially constructed since with the exception of gears sad motors

they are not available commercially. The system can he used to trans­

port only one unit or sample a t a time over a limited distance and

on a soH-fixed course.

6. The Remote Control Transport 8ysten and Vertical Motion Mechanism:

The Remote Control Transport System, as the name implies, finds i ts

principal application in the transportation of radioactive materials,

locations in the horizontal plane Is provided b j a fixed r a i l or

"guide” system. At any location, alignment along the guide is ac­

complished by a motorized wheeled transport; a l ignment across the

guide is unnecessary since the guide and a V ertical Motion Mechanism

are accurately pre-posltloned a t the tin s of original Insta lla tion .

The V ertical Motion Mechanism, which is ea s ily disassembled and re­

movable through the shielding and which is f i t te d with removable

adapter blocks fo r specific needs, is used to provide vertica l notions

a t the desired fixed locations or "stations” along the guide.

The RCT System proper consists of equipment sim ilar in construction

and operation to model railway equipment. The mobile equipment

("transports") conoists of suitable "tractor" and " tra ile r" un its

plus a "flatbed" un it. The tractor, as i t s name Implies, i s simply

a power unit end is used primarily to push and pull other equipment.

I t is equipped with forward end reverse drives and uncouple mechanisms,

a l l operated from a control station located a t a distant point. The

t r a i l e r i s a nonpovered unit to be pushed o r pulled to a desired

location. The t r a i le r is equipped with a removable block shaped tov—

hold any single desirod container. There are no control devices on

the tr a i le r . The flatbed is a powered u n it, having forward and r e ­

verse controls, equipped with a removable bos or blook that can be

securely mounted on the bed yet is quickly and easily removed even

by manipulator when necessary. On or in th is blook, which can be

constructed to accommodate any small pieces of laboratory equipment,

apparatus may be moved a t w ill to any sta tion on the system covered

by the ra ils or "guide". An illu stra tio n of the RCT guide system

and early sketches of the transports are shown an figure 2, appended.

Most operating parts for this type of system are available commer­

cially through model train equipment dealers or from the manufacturer.

7. The Rotary Table or "Lazy Susan" Manipulators! This system Is a

simple rotating table which, to the present time, has found its

widest use as a positioning device rather than as a manipulator

system. It is mechanically simple and free of maintenance) however,

the system Is not economical from the standpoint of space utilization

since only a section of the peripheral area of the table Is utilized

as a working area at any one time. The system adapts Itself readily

to pre-positioning of samples or apparatus by the addition of the

Geneva Wheel feature.

The Radlolanthanum Analytical Laboratory was probably the first of its kind

to be planned strictly for the rapid routine control analysis of very high

radioactivity level process samples. After the basic( jecisian to employ the

package technique was reached, It was realized that the most important func­

tion of the chosen manipulator system would be its adaptability to the trans­

portation, always within the shielding, of samples and aliquots to the ana­

lytical stations. The short time allowable for design made desirable the use

of equipment on which the fundamental design work was largely complete and

for which component parte were commercially available, finally, It was

realized that previously designed manipulators to be used through extremely

heavy shielding were more suitable for research than for routine control

operations and were not well suited for application to the necessarily ex­

tremely small samples end delicate equipment required for fine micro and

a ami-micro analytical work.

lor these several reasons, the BCT system and Vertical Motion Mechanism

vere eoleotod for use in the heavily-shielded Cubicle Areas while the Ball

and 8ocket Manipulators, together with the BCT and occasionally, the Ver­

tical Motion Mechanism, sere chosen for the la88-heavily shielded areas in

the Decontamination Cave, In the Transfer Cave and at the stations in the

Determination Caves,

The design, control, and operation of the BCT System will be described in

detail in Port in of this report.C. Types of Viewers. There are six general classifications of viewers that

were considered for use in this laboratory. They are described briefly below:

1. Periscopes, Binoculars end Telescopes: These are costly, delicate

precision instruments that can provide magnification or reduction

of the image and also a general or specific field of view. In­

struments of this type are usually designed for a limited use in a .

fixed location. Seme difficulty can be anticipated because of the

« deleterious effect of radiation on glass.

2. Mirror Systems: These systems are the simplest and the oldest but

are being used to a lesser extent as the better systems are developed.

They have in general an extremely long optical path and therefore

give decreased visibility and the optical path is difficult to

shield adequately. If first-surface mirrors are not used,

secondary or ghost images are obtained and definition is lost;

views are frequently reversed or inverted. Mirror surfaces must j:

be of high quality to be free of distortion and are hard to protect

from fumes. o

3. Windows: Windows may be classified according to their materials

of construction, as follow t

(a) Lead Glass, Theoo window are fabricated of high density

(6.3 to 6.5 in somo cases) load glass platoo and may bo ob­

tained In exceptional optical quality by special fabrication.

They aro almost equivalent to steel in radiation shlolding and

are thorefore compact though heavy. Unpublished early tests

of this glass indicate that a thickness to diomotar ratio of

0.6 to 1.0 vill provide a l8o# field of viev. Tho glass is

soft and fragile and must bo suitably protected and mounted.

Tho glass is also susceptible, to some extent, to discoloration

from radiation. This discoloration can be removed by proporly

baking tho glass (Ref. 72).

No more difficult problems ore presented by the use of this

glass than in the cases of the alternates and, for equivalent

shielding, no groater expense is involved.

(b) Radiation Resistant Glass. Theoo vlndovs are mado from a

special radiation resistant glass developed by Argonne National

Laboratory in conjunction vith tho Corning Olass Company and the

Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (Ref. 66). The glass Is approxi­

mately equivalent to concrete in density end radiation shield­

ing ability. Laminated construction in a liquid filled tank Is

the standard use of this material viewing vlndovs. The glaea

doos not have the high index of refraction of the load glass

and consequently much larger vlndovs must be used vith increase

in expense.

(c) Liquid Filled, Tank-type vlndovs filled vith high density

liquids, such as ZnBr2 solution, have found some application

fo r direct viewing. However, the liquids are usually corrosive,o

chemically unstable and susceptible to clouding when exposed to

high level radiation. The la tte r condition can be remedied by

periodic pressure f ilte rin g . I t Is believed that these viewers

nay not be highly resis tan t to mechanical shock,

h, Stereo-Television Viewings A recent development which shows great

promise Is stereo-television. This work is In an early experimental

sta te ; the equipment is cumbersome and costly and lighting is ex­

tremely c r itic a l for good reproduction. Lights as well as tho camera

must be operated by remote control.

No single type of viewer would meet a l l the requirements for the various

ports of the Analytical Lino Laboratory, The choice of types of viewers,

hovovor, could be limited to two main types, periscopes and lead glass

viewers, Periscopes were to be used In tho heavlly-ohlelded areas of the

Cubiclo, Sample Storage Area, and the Spectrogrophlc Arcing Cave and fo r the

following reasons:

(a) Magnification or reduction would be noceesary for adequate

viewing in same coses, depending upon tho need at the par­

ticu la r point of Insta lla tion .

(b) In most oases I t would be necessary to ro ta te the fie ld of view

so that the operator would bo given an adequate view of the

work area Involved.

(0) Periscopes aro easily lnstallod and removed from shielding

walls and the optical paths are easily shielded.

(d) Beplaceaent parts aro available and can bo kept on hand.

thoir adequate shielding qualities, relatively lov coot, exceptional optical

qualities, and snail sizo. No serious problems would be involved in replacing

theso viewers if a replacement unit were kept on hand,

D. Banple deceiving and 8torape Facilities. Facilities wore required for

removing tho sample from the shipping containor and Introducing it into the

Cubicle. In view of the estimated size and general construction of the

shipping container, it was felt advisable to remove the sample cup from it

in an aroa adjacent both to tho Cubicle nnd to tho Sample Storage Facilities

rather than In close proximity to the delicate equipment within these areas.

Three reasons for provision of sample storage faoilitioe were apparent 1

process considerations demanded that certain samples bo held for varying

periods of time before analysis (Bef. 20); laboratory space limitations and

cost considerations limited In turn tho number of sample shipping containers

which could be hold and hence a shielded area was required to store the

eample after return of the shipping container} any temporary shutdown in tho

Analytical Line or necessity to clear the Cubicle would demand space for

Incoming samples or for aliquots.

B. Decontamination Facilities. Bequirod decontamination facilities would

be two-fold in that they would provide for (a) the final clean-up of all

equipment being removed from the Cubiolo or Analytical Line and (b) for the

removal of possible traces of activity fron the sample shipping container.

Tho latter operation would be carried out in a special decontamination hood

analysis of the product of the Badiolanthanun Process should be made (Ref. 14)

I t was realised that certain specially-designed fa c ilitie s would be required.

sign within the Spectrochemical Laboratory (Bef. 13), fa c i l i t ie s fo r tho

preparation and arcing of the highly actlvo source vould be necessary

PABT II; TUB IABQRATCRT AS DESIGNED

This part of the report vill explain the design of the salient pieces of

equlpuent, their location in the laboratory, the node of operation, the

relationship between various pieces of equipment, and suggested maintenance

features. Several illustrations of typical pieces of laboratory equipment

are included.

The heavy shielding required for ecoe sample8, less shielding for inter­mediate samples and little or no shielding for certain other samples caused

tho Analytical line design to be baaed on descending radiation levels,

8overal materials were considered as possible shielding materials, the principal of these being steel, lead, high-density concrete, and normal

concroto. A cost study of these and other materials was made and detailed

Information obtained (Ref, 10, 26, 36 and 5M. The decision was thereupon

made to use stool plate even though this material was slightly more ex­

pensive than high-density concrete, it was more amenable both to future

alteration and to decontamination.

All Joints would bo of flame-cut tolerances where possible, although sene

machining would bo necessary where stop type Interfaces must be provided.

In all cases in tho laboratory, bolted construction, although slightly moire

expensive Initially, was favored over welded construction. It was felt

that additional flexibility and versatility was afforded by this type of

construct ion so that replacement of parts rather than entire units would be

possible If gross contamination were to occur. This type of construction

was typical of the Sample Receiving end Storage Area and the Cubicle Area

as well os of the Determination Cave, Transfer Cave and Decontamination Cave

Areas,PBHKBT

SECT! .27. Hv-17769

In order to proceed vith the Cubicle design, it was necessary to establish

firmly the adequacy of the shielding as stated in preliminary estimates

(Rof d.3 and 25), Further calculations wore therefore requested (Befs, 40,

30) and received (Ref. 6l),

The shielding thickness requirement for the laboratory can bo tabulated as

follow for stoel plates

* While no permanent shielding vao to be required in this area, load or lead-glass brick, could bo used for spot shielding. Distant handling techniques would ho used in this area since 10" distance would usually ho ample protection.

A good conception of the Bala Analytical Laboratory con he obtained from

Figuron 1, 2, 3 and 19, appendedj the reader night well familiarise himself vitli these prints before going further.

Tt would soon tliat the most logical manner in which to doscribo the various

equipment pieces and ports of the Analytical Line would be to follow the

ordor of a normal sample through the laboratory. Iho order of prosontationwill therefore bo as follows:

of the entire eanple receiving tunnel could be obtained*

Air flow through this area was to be from the Sample Receiving Station Into

the Cubicle through a V x 8" opening at the Cubicle end of the area. Air

requirements in the area are kept at a minimum since the package technique

relies on air leakage through Joints# into a low pressure area* Ho air was

to be added other than by leakage through Joints and cracks* Ho facilities

other than those mentioned were required in this area*

Thie load lim it would allow doubling the in te rio r hoight i f fu ture uso of

the Cubicle should require greater height. It vas f e l t that the tunnel

vould bo noro desirable than a diversion box exterior to the building, as

alternatively suggested, fa r the following reasons (Ref. 50):

1. Original In sta lla tio n of laboratory apparatus would bo ouch castor

and sinplor since i t was planned to uso sorvico lines of a temporary

areas. Since much of the datailod Infornaticn required for tho

fin a l Insta lla tion vos not to be available for sooe t in e , I t vas

f e l t desirable to preserve tho f le x ib i l i ty offered by the tunnel

feature.

SEC -31 EW-17T69

The preliminary plana for eductor installation in the tunnel were

later modified (Bef. k9) to provide for its inotallatian in the

Cubicle. This vac done for three reasons:

a. Any maintenance work necessary on the eductor could be handled

by the Cubicle Maintenance unit to be descrlbod later in this

report.b. Tho eductor if irreparable could be handled safely in either

the decontamination or the disposal facilities.

c. The length of the waste line frca the staple disposal tip

(Figure 9) to the eductor would be kept to a minimum.

It vaa further decided that the eductors and eductor effluent lines

would be installed In duplicate and the latter would bo cost into the

concrete support base. These lines woro to bo connected to existing

222-T contaminated waste linos* Removal of the eductor frca tunnel

to Ctiblolo thus eliminated the (Objection, of exposed piping in the

tunnel; provision of on alternate line from the eductor would allow

installation of a diversion box later should that become necessary.

9* Since solution back-up through service and reagent addition lines is

always a possibility, it was felt that the tunnel offered on ideal

location for automatic monitoring equipment and warning devices which,

in the absence of a tunnel, would necessarily be located in the labora­

tory proper where warning of the presence of highly active solution

would be obtained only after personnel exposure might have occurred.

6. Since the tunnel was to be considered an SUP area, access to It would

be strictly controllable*

taneous ventila tion of the tunnel also could be accomplished by a l­

lowing a i r to enter the Cubicle from the tunnel through the sleeves

which were to he used for service inlots# Air would be introducod

into the tunnel through service sleeves from the laboratory and

through a louver in the tunnel access door#

The Cubicle structure, boing primarily a gonna shield, should bo lined with

a ronovoble lin e r fo r ease In decontaminating i t s surface should the neces­

s ity arise . I t was planned to flaao spray the in terio r surfaces of the

Cubicle with polythene or to cover then with Lucofloz# Then a removable

or strippablo coating, o.g#, G*E. Cocoon or Liquid Envelope, would be sprayed

on as additional protection.

thonco to the Decontamination Area# Samples would coae from the Sample Re­

ceiving and Storage Area, a l l other materials would be introducod through

of the spoctrograph. Again this vas to bo essentially a ganra shield and

vas to utilise tho same protective coating as the Cubicle# In addition,

the truo inner liner In this case vas to be a cceq letoly closed arc source

was to be separated froo the CUblclo proper by q k* steel door that night bo

raised or lovorod to allov entry of an RCT flatbed into the cavo from the

Cubicle. Since tho spoctrogrophlc sanplo vas to be received as a chlorldo,

it vrvs anticipated that platinum vould bo necessary for tho electrode material and removal from the arcing cave and storage vould be required until

sufficient decay oIIovb handling and decontamination for re-use. This vould

be done without removing tho electrodes iron the arc source enclosure.

this report with the ore option of the control circuit; thio is com­

posed of a series of interconnoctod simple units for eloctrically con­

trolling the direction end rate of movement of transports (Kef. 1*5))

only a brief description of the control system will be included for

ccs leteness.

Tho Control System vac to bo divided into two identical systems; one

system serving the heavily shielded areas, the Cubicle, Sample Receiv­

ing and Storage Aroa, the Spoctrographlc Arcing Cave and the Decon­

tamination Area; the second system serving the less shielded areas of

the Transfer Cavo, the Determination Caves Area and the Cloved Hood

Area. Since the systems were to bo identical in design and differ only

in the oroas controlled, only one system, commonly called tho Cubicle

System, vill bo described. Each motorized transport was to be equipped

vith small electronic receivers which operate current-controlling re­

lays thus controlling the motion and positioning of tho unit. The con­

trol system was so designed that control was afforded on two levels, the

Master Control and local Control. Control was attained by carrier fre­

quency signals transmitted through the guide system to the receivers

located in the motorized unit. The Master Control Station was to ho

oqvippod with a system of interlocks, relays, transmitters and safoty

dovicos necessary for the operation of tho ontiro laboratory. Tvonty-

six radio frequency signal channels wore to bo used, in each of the two

duplicate control systems, to control the alternating current required

for tho operation of tho various units. Tho Master Control vas to bo a

system encompassing both the Cubicle and the Cave Control Systems (seo

Figure 2). Any motorized unit in tho laboratory vas to be controlled

ST

SECRET 5 HM-17769

from this station. The Master Control System was to control the move­

ment of tho motorized units on the guide system from one station to the

next* Ins Ido each Local Station, hovovor, control of tho units was to

ho released by tho Master Control Station to the Local Control Station#

Tho .Vocal Control Stations wero to be located outside tho shioldod area

adjacent to tho area to bo controlled# Tho RCT System Controls at the

local station voro to bo simple consisting of only forward, stop, and

rover so controls. In addition, to tho RCT Controls, each Local Station

was to be equipped with (l) a poriocope or viewer to provide the local

station operator, a chenist or analyst with a view of the aroa under .

his control, (2) servico valves and controls for tho station, (3) Ver­tical Motion Mechanism and instrument controls required for the per­

formance of the analysis or operation to be performed at that station.

A detailed description of each Local Station is Included later in this

section of the report (soo Station Installation) as are descriptions of

tho Vortical Motion Mechanism, Periscopes and Viewers, and Manipulators.

Tho guide layout was to bo the system of motal guides upon which tho

ronoto control transports moved throughout tho Analytical Lino as shown

on Figures 2 and 18, appended. Power to run the transports, and radio

signals to control their actions was to be 6ont through the guides from

tho Mas tor Control Panel. It vac anticipated that tfcoso guides would

bo vory similar to tho f'0M gaugo track as manufactured by the Lionol

Corporation and other manufacturers# Tho switches usod in the layout

wore to bo romotoly operated, non-derailing, eloctrically powered

switches, tho parts of which are available commercially.

It was planned to asoeoflblo tho switches in package units mounted on

sections of masonito or & similar material that may bo removed from tho

clibido or other portions of tho line by vise of tho Maintenance Unit,

This vould allow routine aaintenanoo and replacement botvoon runs or

ovon during a run, if necessary. Control wiring was to bo installed

undornoatli tho sections so tint, when a soctlon weus to be replaced, the

guides, switches and wiring wore to he ono unit, and llttlo time vould

bo noodod to make such a replacement.

Transports to bo used wore of three typos and the attached 0botch,

Figure 2, shows pictorally how they would appear# The "Tractor" trans­

port was to bo a power-unit for moving tho trailers about on tho guide

system. Incorporated in this transport is on electric motor, throo

small radio rocoIvors, a micro-relay and two magnetic couplers. Gearing

would roduco the velocity of tho unit to nine inches per second at full

povor, and ordinarily it vould oporato on roducod voltage with an aver­

age velocity of fivo inches por second or twenty-five feet per minute.

Tho radio receivers, which wore to be tho type now usod in the Lionel

Electronic Trains, were to be usod with the micro-relays to control

movement of tho transport as to direction, and to oporato tho coupling

mechanism.

Tho "Trailer1* transport, which is without controls, was to be usod for

moving the original scu lo from tho Sample Rocoiving Station to othor

stations as desired. There was to be a fixed couplor on each ond of the

unit and it was to bo oquipped with a removable equipment holding block

in which tho sarplo container was to be placed.

transport*

All equipment transportod on tho RCT system In the Cubicle, Determ­

Tho Analytical Section requested tho Instrument Development Group of the

Instrumont Divisions to make a feasibility study of the proposed RCT

System and to offer any suggestions for its improvement (Ref. 59). Tho results of this etvjdy (Ref. 63) were generally favorable and two modifica­tions were su3gootod (Ref. 64),

Tho two suggestions cay be described briefly as follows:

• Car and Carriage? RCT System

Thin system would consist of a movablo carriage mounted on a cable

drive, lathe-bed or similar installation. This carriage vould

ccrvo to transport RCT motorized units to tho roquirod station which

would consist of a straight guido section set at right angles to the

te tho-hod. After alignment of the carriage with the desired guide

section, povor could be supplied to the motorized unit causing it

to movo off the carriage onto the permanently fixod guide section.

Apparatus roquirod for the proper functioning of each station vould

bo located along the guido as in the original RCT System. This

arrangement vould eliminate the need for guide switches since motion

~ cn and off the carriage vould ho in a straight lino. Stations could

to arranged along oither or both sides of the lathe-bed.

Block RCT System

In tills system tho original ROT System layout was to bo used.

Direct current, however, was to bo used In place of alternating

current, Tte radio frequency control system was omitted and

motorized car positioning was accomplished by changing current

polarity on thb guide system. This would require that tho guide

system bo sectionalized and that only one motorized unit at a time

be allowed to operate in any one section.

After caruful stuCy neither proposal was adopted in its entirety and

for the following reaccnct

Car and Carriage ROT System

1. Time did not permit a change of this magnitude since the

entire analytical lino would have to he redesigned.

2. The system would not be as versatile nor as well suited

to laboratory operation os the original proposal.

3. The system would be heavy and cumbersome and would not

make efficient use of expensive shielding. At least 5Ojt

more space would be nocossary in order to obtain the re­

quired versatility.

Block ROT System

This system was net completely rejected slnco it was considered

that a compromise between the original proposal and this sug­

gestion should form tbs basis for the design of the final syctem.

the radio frequency equipment. An emergency power supply could "be

■built so that should a failure of the min power supply occur,

emrgoncy power is automatically switched in. The use of direct

current for tractor and flatbed motors would improve smoothness of

operation of both motors and the receiver relays, sinco the latter

would operate at lower voltages and with less chattering. The use

of direct current would require the us^ of radio frequency chokes

in the power leads. Similar isolation of leads supplying power to

sections of the system on which duplicate radio frequencies are in

use should ho provided and it would he advisable to provide relay

interlocks between oscillators in the Cave Aroa and tbs Cubicle

Area so that one system could not interfere with the operation of

the other.

The use of an interlock hetweon the power circuits of the Vortical

Motion Mechanism and motorized cor units would he advisable to pre­

vent movement of the transport during operation of the vertical

motion equipment.

The power dissipation of the guide switch operating solenoids will

ho greater with direct current than with alternating current and a

safe voltage of operation remained to he determined.

Preliminary designs of the throe mdbilo units wore cocploted and a

Tractor and Trailer were fabricated and tested. Initial tosts on

the two unite wore highly satisfactory although some changes were

necessary for best results.. Pinal design drawings were estimated

to ho 60J& complete on all mobile units and most adapter blocks.

D. The Vertical Motion Mechanism

This unit, as mentioned earlier in the report, was to satiety the ver­

tical motion requirements of the manipulator system oi the Analytical

Lino Laboratory, The vertical motion equipment (Figure 1$) was to be

a simple mechanism for raising end lowering adapter blocks required for

various analyses and manipulations. It was to consist of a low-speed

lead-screw dovico somewhat similar to a vertical lathe-bod in operation.

The unit was to be so designed that all ports would be removable from

above and any single part of the lift mechanism could be removed and

replaced quickly and easily. This was accomplished by keying mating

parts rather than bolting or welding them together. The unit was de­

signed in this maimer to permit easy and rapid maintenance through the

top of the cubicle, utilizing the Cubicle Maintenance Unit, The ver­

tical motion devlco measured 19" in overall height and was mounted on

a 3 l/4“ x 3 l/2" rectangular base. All parts were interchangeable.

The tormina! status of the Vertical Motion Mechanism indicated approxi­

mately 8o£ completion. All blueprints were completed and Issued for

concent and required only revision and final approval before trans­

mittal to Design and Construction Divisions for procurement, A trial

model had been completed and bad proven satisfactory from the opera­

tional standpoint. The various adapter blocks wore intricate, highly-

specialized apparatus-mounting devicos and could be used only for one

particu lar operation. The adapter blocks, however, vero interchange­

able) and could bo used on any V ertical Motion Mechanism. Each block1

could bo used a t one or several sta tions in the Analytical Line Lab­

oratory. The placement of the block a t the various s ta tio n s w ill bo

indicated, but the description ond iden tifica tion of each station

w ill bo discussod la to r in tho repo rt. A description of each adapter

block is given in tho following:

1. Micro Polarographic Adaptor Block

This u n it i s illu s tra ted on Figure 8, appended, and was to bo

used a t S tation 7 as shown on Figures 2 and 19, (c f . Ref# 17, 69)#

This un it was selected because of I t s ccnploadty to show how the

typical adapter block may be remotely attached to and removed from

the V ortical Motion Mechanism with a reversible, d ire c t current

motor oporatod, lock screw. This is typical of other removable

blocks.

This adaptor was to consist of a very contact mounting fo r tho

dropping mercury electrode, out-gas tubo, caloool c o ll, n itra te

bridge and the necessary e le c tr ic a l contacts#

Tho block was to bo brought to Station 7 on on ECT Flatbod, tho

Vortical Motion Mechanism was to bo lowered t i l l i t contacted

tho adaptor block. Tho motor operated lock ocrow was to be auto­

matically aligned by tho aligning pins on tho V ertical L ift en­

gaging in tho holes in tho block. After contact was established,

tho micro-switches would automatically stop tho motor. The lock

SECRET -63- HW-I7769

screw could then bo operated to lock the block in place and make

all connections. The adaptor block could then be raised or lowered

os required for the determination. The adapter block may be removed

from the lift by reversing the above procedure. In this manner, all

Vertical Motion Mechanism adapter blocks may be removed and replaced

as desired even during a run.

Formal blueprints had not been started for this unit.

2. Pipet Clanging Adapter Block

This unit is Illustrated on Figure 11, appended, and was to be used

at Stations 3> 6# and lk, Figure 18.

The plpet clamping block was to be used for remotely attaching plpots,

hold in holders on the Flatbed, to a plpet control system. The con*

nectlon was to be made through a ball and socket Joint. The pres­

sure on the Joint was to be 12 pounds, which is the same as the pres­

sure exorted by the standard glass boll and socket clamp used for this

purposo. Micro-switches were to be mounted on the block and limit

the travel of the elevator in making and breaking the ball and socket

Joint.

Centering of the pipeta under the pipet clamping block was to be ac­

complished at Stations 3 and 6 by manipulation of the Flatbed. At

Station lh, a manipulator was to be utilized to place pipets, with

socket ends, in the clamping block.

at Station 4, Figures 2 and 18.

This block vas to provide a means of mounting a plastic sample dis­

posal tip used to remove samples and excess solutions from glass­

ware used in tho Analytical Line. The tip was to bo constructed

of two concentric tubes. The Bmall diameter tube would project

below the lurgor tube and would bo used for vacuum disposal of

sonnies and other liquid waste. The larger shorter tube would bo

connected by flexible tubing to reservoir of an appropriate decon­

taminating or flushing liquid, e.g., HNO (dilute or concentrated)

and water. Thus, the flushing liquid would be allowed to flow over

the contaminated saiqple disposal tip. The tip was of very single

durable construction and, therefore, it was not removable from the

Vertical Motion Mechanism lead screw.

4. Micro Coulometric Adapter Block

This adapter block is illustratod on Figure 10, appended, and was toj

bo used at Station 8, Figures 2 and 18, appended, (cf. Ref. 4l, 69).

This unit, which was in the preliminary design state, vas to be a re­

movable block that mounts and properly insulates a platinum electrode,

a silver electrode and a glass calomel reference electrode system. The

radio-barium analyses would be performed at radio-barium stations, all lead

determinations would bo performed at the polarographic load determination

station, etc., for each operation or analysis in the laboratory. The loca­

tion of each station was determined by tho maximum activity level and use

Tho station was to consist of ton short spurs from the aain RCT Guide

on which Troilors or Flatbods containing samples, dilutions or aliquots

could he Qllovod to stand while awaiting analyees.

While as a general rule, no process samples cr sample heels would bo

stored, nevertheless, it would bo necessary for various roasons to

store threo typos of couples (P.of. 20) for a period of time before

analysis and those aro doscribod in tho following. Furthermore, it

was realized that come prevision should also be mode for emergency

storogo of low priority samples.

1. Prococs sample taken but not analyzed unless process difficulty

arises; will be disposed of at tho end of the run.

2. Final Product sonnies stored until acceptance of the process

batch by the consumer.

3. Certain samples held for an extended poriod in order that they

uxy decay to such a point whore further work frith them would

not bo hindered by their activity.

of radioactive solutions him been troublosamo from the maintenance

standpoint. The long air column usod botvoen the sample plpot and

the control syringe is subject to cushioning and frequently develops

looks that allow the sample to drain from the pipet, Tho necessary

soldered Joints are easily broken and require froquont attention.

These difficulties eliminated tho present sampling method from

consideration for use in tho Analytical Line Laboratory and new

systems wore studied. In tho new system, ideally, tho desired sample

size could bo discharged at will and tho necessity of rinsing and

changing pipots would bo eliminated,

A method utilizing a remotely-controlled Gilmont Ultra Micro Buret

was investigated and early results were promising (Ref. 67). A

buret typo of sampling feature has boon incorporated, but tho long

liquid or air column, the principal source of previous difficulties,

has boen oliminatod. This system would utilize a selsyn motor as

the control unit. Two variations of this sampler were being tested:

1. A burot-type selsyn-controlled sampler which would utilize tho

oeloyn diroctly to drive a displacement piston,

'5. A buret-typo selsyn-controlled soapier which would use a motor

to operate tho displacement piston, and & selsyn system to trans­

mit tho piston position to thj operator via a dial micrometer.

It woe planned to adapt one of the control units described above for

Tho station was to "bo used for the Acid-Base Determination in low activity

lovol solutions; volumetric methods (Ref. 17) vill be used. No design

work had been started on this Station,

Station 16 - Iodine Extraction and Plutonium Disc Preparation

Tho location of the Iodine Extraction and Plutonium Disc Preparation

Station is shown on Figure 18 and the arrangement of its apparatus is

Bhown on Figure l4.

Tho purposo of this station was to complete the analyses started in Station

lb.

At this station, counting discs woro to ho prepared from the plutonium

extract received from Station 1 and the Iodine carrier for radio-iodine

determinations wore to bo determined for those samples where tho activity

levels could be tolerated in a Gloved Hood, (Ztof. bb, 69) otherwise the«■ * •

Caro at Station lb would bo used,

Plutonium counting discs were to be prepared at this Station using estab­

lished techniques,

A brief description of tho iodine extraction panol follows,

Tho extraction tubes are fabricated according to Figure it,

Bccgonto woro to bo added to side arms through tubing from dispensing

bottles in a rack.

The sample was to bo added to one sido of the extraction tubo by transfer

pipet; the extract was to bo removed from the other side of the tube by

raising the liquid lovol so that tho extract layer would overflow into

volumetric flasks. Cleaning was to bo accomplished through the bottom
