Annealing of Irradiated Boron Containing Alloys and Dispersions

Description: The interpretation of the dimensional instability of U- Zr alloy containing small amounts of boron has raised the question of whether the observed low-temperature swelling can be related to the temperatureswelling characteristics of either the U-Zr alloy or Zr- B alloys by themselves. To obtain such information on the Zr--B system to compare with the more detailed study of thc alloy early results of which were reported in KAPL-1562, pieces of previously irradiated Zr- B alloys and dispersions w… more

Antinucleons

Description: The idea of ''antiparticles'', as is well known, originated with Dirac, who in establishing the relativistic equations for the electron noted that besides the solutions corresponding to ordinary electrons there were also ''unwanted solutions'' corresponding to particles of electronic mass but of charge +e instead of the electronic charge - e. The discovery of the positron by CD Anderson offered a brilliant experimental confirmation of Dirac's prediction and gave the first example of an ''antipa… more

Application of a First-Production Evaluation System to Help Assure Material Compatibility and Functional Reliance

Description: The ultimate achievement of a research and development program at Sandia. Corporation, as at any other AFX or DOD project, is the physical design of a component or weapon system of high reliability. The design accomplishment is initially established when the basic drawings and specifications are released for production. These drawings and specifications are often based on engineering evaluations of bread- .board and early so-called & quot;gold plated prototypes. However, the design accomplishme… more

The Application of a Nominal 48 WT % U-Al Alloy to Plate-type Aluminum Research Reactor Fuel Elements

Description: Under the Atoms-For-Peace Plan, the specification that uranium be limited to 20% enrichment in the U/sup 236/ isotope has necessitated development of a highly-concentrated uranium--aluminum alloy as the fuel material in the composite aluminum plates of research reactor fuel elements. Efforts have been directed to determining the suitability of a nominal 48 wt.% U--Al alloy in relation to previously established procedures for manufacturing platetype aluminum fuel elements. Increasing the uranium… more

Application of neutron monitors to process control in Recuplex. Status report

Description: A program was. initiated early in 1957 to develop a neutron monitor capable of detecting plutonium (Pu) concentration in process vessels in Recuplex. This followed an earlier application by Finished Products Operation and Research and Engineering of neutron monitoring to powder counting which had been successful and was being regularly used. The process vessel monitoring was to be done by the ``in tank probe`` method, utilizing the monitored solution as its own-moderator, and detecting the resu… more

THE APPLICATION OF THE CHIP AND SHOT METHODS TO THE PREPARATION OF HOMOGENEOUS ALLOYS

Description: Chip method experiments were performed for the preparation of Th - 9 wt.% U, U - 10 wt.% Nb, and Al--16 wt.% U - 0.2 wt.% B alloys. The work on Th-9 wt.% U indicated that the technique was applicable with oniy slight impairment of mechanical properties and slight increase of oxygen content. Experiments on U-10 wt.% Nb to produce a more corrosion-resistant alloy were not successful. The potential use of the chip method in fabricating alloys with a burnable poison such as boron appeared feasible.… more

Application of the Method of Coordinate Perturbation to Unsteady Duct Flow

Description: The method of coordinate perturbation is applied to the unsteady flow of a compressible fluid in ducts of variable cross section. Solutions, in the form of perturbation series, are obtained for unsteady flows in ducts for which the logarithmic derivative of area variation with respect to the space coordinate is a function of the 'smallness' parameter of the perturbation series. This technique is applied to the problem of the interaction of a disturbance and a shock wave in a diffuser flow. It i… more

APPR-1 BURNOUT CALCULATIONS

Description: A general non-uniform burnup program was developed to determine the lifetime of the APPR-1. The calculation is performed using two one dimensional multi-region burnout calculations. The approach to the problem, the equations, and derivation of burnout equations are presented. The results are plotted and compared with the rod bank position as measured at Fort Belvoir. On the basis of these calculations the expected total energy release of the APR-1 is 13 Mw-yr. (auth)

An Approach to the Problem of Estimating Severe and Repeated Gust Loads for Missile Operations

Description: Note presenting an analysis of available airplane measurements of vertical gust velocity in order to arrive at a simple description of the frequency and intensity of gust velocities experienced by airplanes in operations. For the purpose of application to missile operations, the results obtained are modified to eliminate the effects of storm-avoidance procedures normally followed in airplane operations.

Approximate Method for Calculation of Laminar Boundary Layer With Heat Transfer on a Cone at Large Angle of Attack in Supersonic Flow

Description: Note presenting the use of an integral technique to reduce the laminar boundary-layer equations on the windward generator of the plane of symmetry to a set of simultaneous algebraic equations. The method enables the skin friction coefficients and Stanton number to be calculated in a much shorter time than was needed to obtain exact numerical solutions from the boundary-layer equations.
