Calculations on U235 Fission Product Decay Chains

Description: Report of equations for calculating decay of U235. The introduction states" Calculations have been made on the U235 fission product decay schemes. The results for a typical example, that of a reactor operating at 1000 kilowatts for 180 days, have been tabulated and graphed. General formulae have been used so that the results can be applied for any power level and any time of irradiation" (p. 2).

A Capsule Design for Experimental High-Flux Irradiations Of Fuel Materials

Description: New reactors presently in design or construction stages, as well as revised operating procedures for existing reactors, have shown an increasing emphasis on extending the exposure time of the reactor fuel elements. However, operating experience at Hanford, as at other installations, has demonstrated that as the amount of burn-up in uranium metal is increased an increase is also noted in operational difficulties resulting from the dimensional behavior of the fuel. During reactor irradiation uran… more

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Some Aluminum-Lithium Alloys

Description: The results of this study are tabulated in Summary Tables A and B below. For the most part, these values were read from smoothed curves drawn thru the plotted experimental data. The values for aluminum (i.e., 0 w/o Li) were taken from the 1948 Edition of the ASM Metals Handbook. The room temperature properties are reported for lithium contents of 0, 3.5, 7 and 10 weight per cent. In the case of the high temperature properties, there were insufficient data to allow extrapolation and interpolatio… more

Technical Review of ZPR-1 Accidental Transient - the Power Excursion, Exposures, and Clinical Data

Description: On June 2, 1952, 15:52 hours, a large reactivity change was made manually in a ZPR-1 assembly causing a power excursion of about one kwh, which resulted in damage to the reactor core components and radiation exposure of some of the operating personnel to perhaps several rep. None of the contributing causes is reviewed here nor are the measures which were taken to reduce the probability of a recurrence discussed since these are considered administrative matters beyond the scope of this technical… more

Autoclave Testing of Mechanically Jacketed Thorium Slugs In Water

Description: Water corrosion tests on mechanically jacketed and pinholed thorium slugs show that these slugs fail in a manner similar to that observed for mechanically jacketed and tested uranium slugs. The proposed mechanism for the water corrosion of these jacketed slugs is analogous to the water corrosion mechanism of jacketed uranium slugs presented in the project lecture. A bare thorium slug appeared to be more resistant to corrosion by water than a mechanically jacketed slug during the first half of t… more

Recovery of Uranium From Ore Concentrates

Description: The use of bromine trifluoride solution has been investigated for the preparation of purified uranium hexafluoride from ore concentrates. The best yields were obtained with the use of antimony pentafluoride solutions in bromine trifluoride, and less fluorine was consumed in the case of previously hydro fluorinated samples. This approach appears to be technologically sound and may prove economically superior to existing procedures in the case of newly constructed facilities.
