Scram transient tests PT-IP-249-C

Description: The purpose of this production test is to provide a standard method of obtaining scram transient reactivity information at the eight reactors, under conditions conducive to valid data. These conditions include the bypassing of the Panellit system at a low power level for a short, controlled period of time during May 1959.

PINEX: The pinhole neutron experiment

Description: The pinhole neutron experiment is sometimes called ``Pinex``, a name which has also been used to describe the pin method of measuring the time required for imploding metals to travel to certain locations in space. The two experiments are not related and should not be confused with each other. The pinhole neutron experiment is very similar to the optical pinhole camera in which light passing through a pinhole in an opaque screen produces an inverted image of the source. In the pinhole neutron ex… more

Quarterly progress report - metallurgy unit - April 1954--June 1954

Description: Four irradiated tensile specimens were tested in the Radiometallurgy laboratory. The uranium was from a lot rolled at Simonds Saw and STeel Company, then beta heat treated by the triple dip process. The samples were irradiated to 310 MWD/AT. The corrected exposure was 620 MWD/T after compensating for the decrease in flux depression due to the specimen size. Two of the irradiated specimens were tested in the as-received condition while the other two were vacuum annealed at 400{degree}C for 15 ho… more

Elimination of TOA corrosion limits

Description: In 1958, planned large scale use of the new I & E slug geometry at more severe operating conditions than had been generally experienced suggested a possible compromise in reactor life and safety if a reasonable degree of rupture control with the new type of element was not maintained. The formalized slug corrosion limit (Top-of-Annulus limit) was issued as a Process Standard at the time of the full-scale loading of I & E geometry fuel elements to provide this limit for reactor operation. The lo… more

Metal detector study for Hanford

Description: This study was undertaken at the request of the Hanford Works to investigate the possibility of detecting 3/8 inch diameter boron-steel control-balls which become lodged within cracks between the graphite blocks of an atomic pile. The cracks concerned occur radially from 4 3/16 inch diameter holes which pass vertically through the pile. The problem is complicated by the following facts: The graphite blocks are conducting and will therefore give rise to spurious signals primarily due to the crac… more

Preliminary studies of a continuous process for the thermal decomposition of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate

Description: At the request of the A.E.C., experiments were conducted on the continuous addition of liquid UNH to a bed of powdered UO{sub 3} in a gas heated pot in the Pot Room of Plant 6 to gather thermal data regarding the continuous decomposition of UNH and to make observations of the physical behavior of such a system. The thermal data indicate that the size and the energy requirements of the equipment required per pound of UO{sub 3} produced would be considerably smaller than for the present batch-wis… more

Naval Reactors Physics Handbook. Volume 3: The Physics of Intermediate Spectrum Reactors

Description: The present volume has been prepared for persons with some knowledge of the physics of nuclear reactors. It is intended to make available the accumulated physics experience of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in its work on intermediate spectrum reactors. Only those portions have been selected which were deemed to be most useful and significant to other physicists concerned with the problems of reactor design. The volume is divided into four parts which are more or less independent of one ano… more

Report for research on substitute materials. Quarterly progress report, April 2, 1951 to July 2, 1951 (Polonium-208)

Description: Mound Laboratory is cooperating on a joint development program directed toward the production of polonium-208 by proton irradiation of bismuth. Because of the greater half life of polonium-208 compared with polonium-210 (2.93 years versus 138.4 days), it would be a desirable substitute for polonium-210, At the present time the Electromagnetic Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is operating a cyclotron for the production of polonium-208 on an experimental scale. The targets produced are s… more

Quarterly report, January 1951--March 1951, Chemical Research Section

Description: The current Relox flowsheet proposes precipitation of plutonium peroxide from IIBP solution concentrated by evaporation to 10 g Pu/1 and ca. 5.5 M HNO{sub 3}. Such a solution might have an Al{sup +++} concentration as high as 0.02 M with stainless steel corrosion product concentrations of the order of magnitude of those found in AT solution diluted to 10 g Pu/l. Methods for the precipitation of plutonium peroxide from this type of solution, either with or without partial neutralization of the n… more
