- Summary
- The Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) will use colemanite bearing concrete neutron absorber panels credited with attenuating neutron flux in the criticality design analyses and shielding operators from radiation. The Savannah River National Laboratory is tasked with measuring the total density, partial hydrogen density, and partial boron density of the colemanite concrete. Sample PBC-44.2 was received on 9/20/2012 and analyzed. The average total density measured by the ASTM method C 642 was 2.03 g/cm³, within the lower bound of 1.88 g/cm3. The average partial hydrogen density was 6.64E-02 g/cm³ as measured using method ASTM E 1311 and met the lower bound of 6.04E-02 g/cm³. The average measured partial boron density was 1.70E-01 g/cm³ which met the lower bound of 1.65E-01 g/cm³ measured by the ASTM C 1301 method.
