Decontamination of the KER Rupture Experiment Loop Test Series B - Tests No. 1 and 2

Description: The first series tests in the KER-REP-1 loop proved that a fisssion product contaminated loop could be decontaminated to a safe level for contact maintenance. The second series of tests ere scheduled for a more thorough evaluation of these processes includes specific decontamination factors, process corrosion rates, loop activity reduction factors (loop decontamination factors), and any preferential decontamination which may be present.

A Simple Telephone Telemeter

Description: When following the performance of automatic and semi-automatic equipment that is left unattended for extended periods of time, it is often desirable to be able to check this equipment by remote means. A convenient vehicle for such a check is the telephone since nearly all locations have or can have a telephone extension installed. The check of the equipment may be made as simple or extensive as desired, with the outcome of the check represented by a relay condition, for example. The condition o… more

The Electrochemical Theory of Smelting and Related Reactions

Description: In this paper we are concerned with the potentials and electrical currents flowing at an interface between two phases as a result of chemical reactions which promote selective ion migration. Although our immediate concern is an explanation of the available results on smelting, a sufficiently broad understand requires that we go far beyond this limited results and bring together the findings from many related fields. We first must consider the diffusion of particles across an interface, which fo… more

Evaluation Of High-Speed Two-Tube Configurations: Part I. Greater Gain-Bandwidth In Trigger Circuits Part II. Transient Analysis Of The White Cathode Follower

Description: This study is concerned with a class of circuits which employs two tubes in a series connection--sometimes referred to as the stacked-tubes connection. This study will be concerned with two configurations that have shown considerable promise in the field of high speed circuitry. In Part I a configuration called the dynamic plate load amplifier is dealt with. In Part II a configuration called the White cathode follower is examined.

Lynchburg Test Reactor: Critical Experiment, Hazard Evaluation

Description: This report summarizes the hazards associated with the operation of the Lynchburg Test Reactor (LTR) critical experiments. The LTR critical experiment program is outlined and the design of the experiment is described. The experiments will provide basic data to check two-dimensional calculational methods and provide information needed in the design of the LTR.

Oxidation of Neptunium(V) by Vanadium(V)

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "Rate data are presented for the oxidation of neptunium (V) by vanadium (V) in nitric acid." From Summary: "Rates of oxidation of neptunium (V) were determined by a solvent extraction technique based on the difference in distribution coefficients for neptunium (V) and neptunium (VI)."

Recovery of Np237 and Pu238 From Irradiated Neptunium Oxide

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "An ion exchange process was demonstrated for the recovery of Pu238 from irradiated neptunium oxide. Three cycles of anion exchange proved adequate for the removal of fission products and for the separation of the neptunium and plutonium from each other."

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.)

Some Important Parameters of the Plasma Diode

Description: From abstract: "A relationship is derived that predicts the power radiated from the cathode to the anode of the plasma diode. The radiated power loss predicted by this relationship for a tungsten cathode and a nickel anode at widely different temperatures is found to be five times greater than the prediction of the conventional relationship which assumes gray-body conditions."

Ultrasonic Energy Applied to Aluminum Extrusion Cladding of Tubes

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "Ultrasonic energy appropriately applied to the die or container of a laboratory-type direct extrusion press effected a marked increase in the free extrusion rate of lead and aluminum billets at a constant extrusion rate. the same results were obtained in extrusion cladding steel tubes with aluminum. Rate increases were generally 100 per cent or greater, and decreases in force were usually within the range of 10 to 20 per cent. Furthermore, the shape and slope o… more

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.
