The Design and Uses of High Flux Research and Test Reactors

Description: The need for thermal and fast neutron fluxes in the range of 1 to 5 x l0/ sup 15/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/(sec) for the production of heavy elements such as Cf/ sup 252/ and other special isotopes and for improving the quality of beam experiments, reactor materials testing work, and solid state research has led to plans for the construction of three ultra high flux research reactors. The designs of these and other high flux research reactors are based on the general technology of enriched tank-type r… more

Equilibrium Extraction Characteristics of Alkyl Amines and Nuclear Fuels Metals in Nitrate Systems. Progress Report No. V for the Period July 1 - September 30, 1959

Description: Extraction of HNO3 by triaryl amine was studied by equilibrating equal volumes of aqueous and organic phases at 25C. At HNO3 concentrations of 2 to 10 N the acid in the organic phase in excess of that equivalent in the amine concentration was proportional to the concentration of HNO3 in the equilibrated aqueous phase. other workers report similar results with nitric acid and tri-n-octyl amine in benzene. Zirconium extractions carried out at 10g Zr/1 with 0.35 M TLA nitrate in toluene showed a f… more

Sampling the Upper Atmosphere for Particulate Matter. First Quarterly Progress Report, June 15 to September 25, 1959

Description: An analysis to screen the various particle-collection systems which might be used for sampling the upper atmosphere with a rocket sampling vehicle has been undertaken. Although the current model of the Goetz Aerosol Spectrometer is not suitable, a high-flow-rate sampler of this general type, if it can be designed, appears promising. The design of such a sampler will be undertaken in future work. If a workable design is possible, this method would appear to be the most promising of all.

Some Design Considerations for the Megatron Coil

Description: The relation between the maximum permissible transverse energies of particles that can be focused, the azimuthal energy, and the beam width is discussed relative to Megatron coil design. It is shown that deep potential wells for focusing can be obtained only at the expense of a narrow beam. (C.J.G.)

Operation Pre-Gnome: Seismic Data from Natural Phenomena and High-Explosive Tests Near Carlsbad, New Mexico

Description: Formulas derived from earlier work satisfactorily predicted low frequency ground effects resulting from the Pre-Gnome explosions, but they not predict high accelerations associated with high frequency ground waves. The Pre-Gnome experiments taken since indicated that accelerations and ground amplitudes are proportional to the explosive charge, but physical conditions limit extrapolation on this basis to relatively low yields. Predicted accelerations resulting from the 10 kt Gnome explosion in p… more

Unitized System of Image Intensifiers Using Fiber Optics. Progress Report for July to October 1959

Description: Phase 1 of the AEC contract AT(30-1)-2176 consists in developing a light intensifier which includes a fiber optic faceplate in the output end. The vacuum side of the faceplate shall be coated with an aluminum-backed P15 phosphor and shall have an effective radiating diameter of 1". The execution of this phase depends primarily upon developing a satisfactory technique for sealing the fiber optic faceplate to a suitable container. During the delay which has occurred between the ordering and the … more

Description: The General Electric Test Reactor (GETR) facility is designed to irradiate the fuel specimens in a helium-cooled environment at 800 degree F and pressures from 315 to 400 psig. Thermal neutron fluxes in the fuel are of the order of 3 x 10(13) mv and the induvial test pieces, of which there are three in each facility tube, generate five kilowatts at heat fluxes slightly over 200,000 Btu per hour per square foot. Five facility tubes are provided in the reactor pool. Separate coolant lines are bro… more

Radioactive Drug Research, Final Summary Report, July 1949 to October 1959

Description: Applications of radioisotopes in the preparation of labeled drugs are reviewed. Among the applications described are the preparation of carbon-14- labeled cardiac glycosides, and the biosyinthesis of carbon-14-labeled digitoxin, morphine, colchicine, atropine, podophyllotoxin, and nicotine. The fate and metabolism of many of these drugs were traced. Radiochemical procedures were developed for the synthesis of pure compounds of pharmacological interest labeled with carbon-14, sulfur-35, and trit… more

Absorption of Organic Acids on Thoria

Description: The adsorption of acetic and oleic acids on the surface of thoria was studied by means of infrared spectroscopy. An infrared analysis of the adsorbates before and after adsorption using differential double bean methods indicated that the adsorption of organic acids on thoria surfaces occurs by an esterification reaction between the organic acid and the hydroxylated thoria surface. Ammonia vapor will not adsorb on thoria, indicated the basic character of the hydroxylated surface.

Determination of Flux Levels in Neutron Detector Wells. Section II. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-242, T-641311

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the neutron flux level in a BF3 counter well during the second performance of DL-S-225. The measured activity of the irradiation brass bolt was due entirely to the radioactive decay of Zn65. The thermal neutron flux in the BF3 counter well during the second 1000 hour run was calculated to be 2.5 x 10(9) neutrons/cm2 sec.

Thorium Bismuthide : Ultrasonic Control of Crystal Size

Description: Thorium bismuthide when crystallized from a solution i bismuth results in large platelets which may be as large a 1 centimeter in diameter. A slurry of these platelets is difficult to pump through pipe lines and filters. The particle size can be reduced by (1) very rapid cooing (approximately 1000 degree C per second) or (2) ultrasonic treatment. The latter, much easier to attain in large scale, gives equiaxed particles of thorium bismuthide.
