Compilation of Various Undocumented Classified Memoranda on Sherwood Program

Description: This compilation includes the following subjects: (1) Spectroscopic studies, (2) Neutral carbon in the vacuum carbon arc, (3) Anode effects, doppler blast effects, and stark broadening, (4) Neutrals in the high-current carbon arc; (5) Photon breakup of N2 in the high-current carbon arc, (6) Ion density in the high current carbon arc, and (7) Recombination cross-section for fast hydrogen ions and slow electrons. Minor revisions have been made in the subject memoranda in incorporating them in the… more

Low Attack Rates Observed in Toroid Tests with 28 Micron 1600 C Fired ThO2 Spheres

Description: Results of previous toroid tests with 28 micro 1600 fired ThO2 spheres are analyzed. Four possible explanations for the essentially zero attack rates are offered and discussed: peculiar motion of toroids or some unknown wall effect; rotational hydrodynamic forces cushioning the particle impact; the bed was not in suspension and not sliding over the walls of the toroid; round particles are not as erosive to oxide film surface as sharp pointed particles.

Methods of Collection, Preparation and Spectrographic Analysis of Human Tissues

Description: To determine the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of a radionuclide which may be ingested or inhaled with exceeding accepted levels of exposure tot he human body, it is necessary to know the average normal concentration of the natural element in the various tissues of the body. Any element may be ingested or inhaled as the element or as a compound. Although nearly all elements have been observed in living tissue, few quantitative observations had been made before 1950. Preliminary studie… more

Spectrographic Analysis of Normal Human Tissue from Miami, Florida

Description: All tissues included in this report were received from Miami, Florida and the majority are from Jackson memorial Hospital. They were collected, ashed and analyzed according to the methods described in ORNL-CF-57-2-2. The average value of the concentration for each element in a tissue is the average of the concentrations in only those samples of the tissue which contained the element. For example, if, of 25 lives analyzed, only 10 contained lead, the average for lead in liver is the average of t… more

Test Results on a Heater-Cooler Unit for the ORR In-Pile Loop

Description: Tests have been completed on a combination heater-cooler unit for use in in-pile loops designed to operate in beam hole HN-1 of the ORR facility. The unit is designed to use air-water mixtures as the coolant. the coolant flows through a spiral of 3/8-inc. diameter tubing cast in aluminum around the 3/8-in. IPS loop pipe. four 1000-w calrod-type electric heating elements are cast into the aluminum, along with the cooling coils to provide loop heating.

Thermal Characteristics of a Delta Array Heat Exchanger

Description: The heat transfer and fluid friction characteristics have been determined for a liquid flowing parallel to the tube bundle of a heat exchanger consisting of one hundred and two 1/16-inch O.D. tubes arranged in a delta or triangular array. These results may be expressed by empirical equations.

Thorex Pilot Plant ; System for Concentrating Second Uranium Cycle Product

Description: A system for concentrating uranyl nitrate solutions was designed and installed in the Thorex Pilot Plant. A total of 16,060 g of uranium was concentrated in the system in 68 batch runs. A total of 14,400 g total uranium (14.180 g U/sup 233/) was recovered as product suitable for shipment. Uranium loss to the evaporator condensate was 0.03% of the total uranium processed. The material balance across the system was 98.4%. The average concentration of uranium in the evaporator feed solution was 29… more
