Originating Office: Oak Ridge Operations Office, Reactor Division Finding Aids: NARA Standard Form 135 Disposition AuthorityDOE/16/5A Series Description: This record series consists of correspondence, reports, memoranda, bibliographies, and trip reports concerning fission product release studies conducted in support of reactor development research. These records document research efforts in the cause, prevention, and mitigation of fission product releases in reactors still under development. Information includes lists of related studies and reports; requests for shipment of fuel specimens from Argonne National Laboratory for experimental use; summaries of work and program expenses; research project expansion; and work on individual program elements such as agitation and dispersion of metal, burn-up, particulate release, scale-up effects, and coolants. Reactor types benefitting from this program include gas-cooled and organic moderated reactors. ORNL, General Atomics, Battelle Memorial Institute, and the Tennessee Valley Authority are identified as participating institutions. Fission products studied include barium-140, xenon-140, cesium-134, cesium-137, and iodine-131.
