521 R/Hr at 3 feet. If you put a lead blanket on it the dose rate will be 157 R/HR. What site are you working at? ;D

Is it 402.84 curies before the 16 months or is it 402.84 curies after 16 months?

You can only get the most correct answer if you make the same assumption as the question's author.

It is 402.84 prior to decaying for 16 months.

Ao = 402.84 Ci

The only thing even remotely 'challenging' about this exercise is that I didn't supply the T1/2 (or, I suppose, the decay energy), but it's such a common element in our industry, I assumed no one would need it. -- And I was right.

((403*15/9)*(0.5^((16/12)/5.3)))=564.2 R/hr

or

((402.84*(6*((0.34693*0.000076)+(0.82606*0.000076)+(1.173237*0.999736)+(1.332501*0.999856)+(2.15857*0.0000111)+(2.5*0.00000002) (http://ie.lbl.gov/toi/nuclide.asp?iZA=270060))))/(3^2))*(0.5^((16/12)/5.2714))=564.635214801879 R/hr

Of course 6CEN is in R/hr is not Rem/hr, and we need the dose rate so we have to convert it to Rem...

Roentgen and Rem (Roentgen Equivalent Man) are often used interchangeably. If you are curious; 1 Roentgen is 87 ergs/g in air for photons greater than 10 keV and less than 3 MeV, which is about 92 to 96 ergs/g in people (depends on if you are talking about bone, muscle or fat).  The Rem is 100 ergs/gram in human tissue for photons of any energy. So 1 R Gamma is roughly 0.96 Rem Gamma.

542 Rem/Hr

Since Cap gun was farther off than the rest, (I would have taken anything from 563-565 R, but hoped for Rem), I'm going to give Capgun 6 months, and 6 months to milo, since he was technically the 3rd 'correct' answer.

Using Ray's calculator I got: 523.3 R/hr @3ft

However, if you ask it for Rem/hr you get 459 Rem/hr @ 3ft

Apparently Ray is using 87.7 ergs in dry air as his conversion, when it should really be 96 for soft tissue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roentgen_%28unit%29).



So... Maybe I'll give ol' Capgun his 6 months back.

I totally understand that LaCrosse was Wisconsin’s first nuclear electrical power generating station, it's Date of commercial operation is earlier than Point Beaches by a few months.

However, due to it being a federal project, it was considered a "Demonstration Plant", not a commercial plant.

It's not a hill I'm willing to die on, it's just trivia according to the most reputable sources available: Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) (http://www.eia.gov/nuclear/state/2008/wisconsin/wi.html).

Wisconsin's first commercial reactor, Point Beach 1 is one of the oldest reactors still in service. It went into commercial service in December 1970.

Quote
The La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) is owned and was operated by the Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC). LACBWR was a nuclear power plant of nominal 50 Mw electrical output, which utilized a forced-circulation, direct-cycle boiling water reactor as its heat source. The plant is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Vernon County, Wisconsin. The plant was one of a series of demonstration plants funded, in part, by the U.S Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).

LACBWR was built in 1967 as part of a federal project to demonstrate the viability of peacetime nuclear power. It was funded in part by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in cooperation with Dairyland Power Cooperative. LACBWR had a 50 MW electrical output from a forced-circulation, direct-cycle boiling water reactor as its heat source.[2] In 1973 the reactor and fuel were transferred in full to Dairyland Power.

La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) was built in 1967 as a joint project between the Atomic Energy Commission and the Dairyland Power Cooperative as an example of peace time use of nuclear power. In addition, LACBWR was Wisconsin’s first nuclear electrical power generating station.

It's not a hill I'm willing to die on, it's just trivia according to the most reputable sources available....

the NRC website has "glitches" for general info stuff,....

this is a well researched piece on the frog hair splittings of defining the early atom splitters:

http://ansnuclearcafe.org/2014/03/20/eisenhowers-atomic-power-for-peace-iii-cap-and-power-demonstration-reactors/

....As we can clearly see, the Government did not pay for the first round of power reactors. These were privately financed with assistance rendered by the AEC as listed above, with any overrun in cost being the responsibility of the owner-operator and not of the AEC.
 
Three reactors were built under the first round of the program—all well-known early nuclear plants. These were Atomic Electric’s Westinghouse pressurized water reactor at Yankee Nuclear Power Station in Rowe, Massachusetts; Atomic Power Development Associates’ sodium cooled plant known as Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant near Monroe, Michigan; and the Hallam Nuclear Power Facility adjoined to a coal-fired plant and constituting part of Sheldon Station in Nebraska.
 
The AEC announced another round of this program later in 1955; this round solicited applications for small nuclear plants, of advanced types, by cooperatives or rural power companies. According to the Atomic Energy Deskbook, applications were received but contract negotiations revealed numerous problems, to the extent that the entire provisions for this round had to be revised. Under the second round with the new AEC provisions, “The AEC owns the reactor, bears related research and development costs, and bears the cost of fabricating the first core. The utility owns the electrical portion of the plant and operates the complete facility.” In other words, the second round essentially duplicated the arrangement first used at the pioneering Shippingport Atomic Power Station.
 

Elk River Station – “America’s first rural atomic power plant.” Owned by Rural Cooperative Power Association; built under second round of AEC demonstration program.
 
The second AEC round of power demonstration reactors included Elk River in Minnesota (seen above), which was an ACF, later Allis-Chalmers indirect cycle boiling water reactor hooked on to a previously constructed coal-fired plant, with interposed superheater fired on pulverized coal; the Piqua Nuclear Power Facility, an Atomics International organic moderated and cooled reactor hooked on to the original Piqua, Ohio, powerhouse; and the Boiling Nuclear Superheat reactor or BONUS, a General Nuclear Engineering Co., later Combustion Engineering BWR with integral nuclear superheat, constructed at Punta Higuera, Puerto Rico.  Later on, a fourth plant, Dairyland Power Cooperative’s Genoa No. 2 plant in Wisconsin (most often known in the nuclear world as the LaCrosse BWR), which was an Allis-Chalmers BWR, was added in to the program under the terms of the second round when two of the original financiers dropped out of a prospective program and the AEC worked the project in after the second round had otherwise been set.
 
The announcement of the third and final round of the program came in 1957. The program’s terms reverted to being identical to those of the first round but which encouraged the construction of more advanced reactor types. This round resulted in the Carolinas-Virginia Tube Reactor, a Westinghouse HPWR hooked on to an existing power plant at Parr, S.C.; Big Rock Point, a GE BWR; Pathfinder, an Allis-Chalmers BWR with integral nuclear superheat (comparable in concept generally to BONUS of the second round); and a final concept originally known just as the HTGR or High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor, which was completed almost a decade later as Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant, a General Atomics HTGR located in Pennsylvania......

Many were guesses, especially about Renhack.  No Lookups also.

Lets see how lucky I get this time.  Will be at Cook this fall, so guessed that first.

We have a winner.  DC Cook was my first nuclear job (WRS), but it was non-outage only. Palisades was my 2nd job (Local company),  it was during a SGRP.  I then went back to DC Cook for non-outage (Bartlett). After that I traveled to Indian Point for my first road job with per Diem thanks to ARC.

Karma to everyone that participated. +k
