Radioactivity Levels of the Columbia River Below Richland, Washington for the Period April, May, June 1956

Description: In the Columbia River downstream from Richland, Washington there is a gradual decrease in concentration of radioactive isotope. At any one location there are fluctuations due to factors such as dilution and decay time. During this period at all locations the concentration of alpha particle emitters in water averaged below the detection limit. Beta particle emitters in water upstream of McNary Dam decreased slightly due to increased river flow this quarter, with averages at various locations. Do… more

A Dripless Transfer Pipette for Radiochemical Operations

Description: Transfer operations of highly radioactive solutions by the normal transfer pipette leads in most instances to a spread of contamination in the shielded facility. In the dripless pipette, the solution is held in the reservoir by the use of the siphon principle.

Pilot Plant Dissolution of Unjacketed Fuel Elements

Description: In the fall of 1952, a pilot plant batch dissolution study was carried out to obtain the data required for the design of the Purex Plant dissolvers. Particular emphasis was placed on the rate of dissolution and the efficiency of nitrogen oxide recovery from the dissolver off-gas. The results are presented in this report.

A Study of the Effects of Fabricating Conditions on Some Properties of Sintered Uranium Monocarbide

Description: The effect of initial particle size (6.2 and 14.7 mu ), forming pressure (50,000 and 100,000 psi), temperature (1600 and 1800 deg C), and time at temperature (1 and 3 hr) on the bulk density, grain size, and porosity of sintered uranium monocarbide compacts was studied, Within the limits of the variables studied there appeared to be no significant changes in these properties of the sintered material attributable to the changes in the fabricating conditions.

Loss of Level in D/P Cell Reference Chambers. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-279 (RNI-23)

Description: The purpose of the test is to determine the reason for the decreases in the liquid levels of the reference chambers serving the reactor plant remote liquid level indicators. The remote gages and the local liquid level gages agreed closely for the Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Expansion Tank and the Coolant Discharge and Vent System flash tank and blow-off tank. There appeared to be no loss of water from the D/P cell reference chambers for these two systems over the period of the test. … more

Finite Amplitude Stress Waves in Rocks

Description: Production of new surface area by fracturing of rock behind an explosive-initiated high amplitude wave is probably an important mechanism for energy absorption in the region near n explosion in rock. Explosive-initiated high amplitude pulses in cylinders of three different rocks and two concretes were studied to determine the pulse amplitude need to damage the cylinders. An average high amplitude wave velocity of half the elastic wave velocity was observed in a porous limestone. Elastic theory … more

The Use of an Electronic High Vacuum Pump on Various Types of Mass Spectrometers

Description: A commercially available electronic high vacuum pump has bee tested on various types of mass spectrometers used at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Considerable savings in operating and maintenance costs can be realized from the use of this pump. the greatest savings result from the elimination of the cold trap required for the diffusion pump whether it is cooled by liquid nitrogen or by mechanical refrigeration. additional savings results from the fact that the pump currently is usually … more

[News Clip: NAACP]

Description: Video footage from the WBAP-TV station in Fort Worth, Texas, covering a news story about a court battle between the NAACP and the Dallas school system. Dallas does not want their schools to be integrated. A separate suit may be filed, because evidence that some children involved in NAACP testimonies did not have proper parental permission has been uncovered.

Low Speed Wind Tunnel Tests of Several Airfoil Sections Through 360 ° Angle of Attack

Description: A series of two-dimensional airfoils were run through a complete 360 ° angle of attack range to determine their low-speed force characteristics. The airfoils were chosen in an attempt to vary as many parameters (such as thickness, camber, thickness distribution, etc.) as possible with the limited number of shapes that time permitted. All airfoils tested had lift curves with two distinct stalls and quite similar drag curves between 0 ° and 90 ° angle of attack. The highly cambered sections devel… more

A Comparison of the Neutron Yields from Low-Voltage Sources

Description: The description of the thick-target neutron yields from the D(t,n)He4 and the D(d,n)He3 reactions is calculated as a function of the energy of the bombarding particles. For 60-kev particles the ratio is 108. I increases to 168 at 100 Kev and to 194 for 120-kev particles. A qualitative discussion of the yields from various deuterium target leads to the conclusion that the greatest yield would come from the target which has the lowest stopping cross section per deuterium atom.

Studies of Reactor Containment : Monthly Technical Progress Report No. 29

Description: The report covers work performed during the period September 1, 1959 through September 30, 1959. The general objectives of the program of "Studies of Reactor Containment" are to accomplish theoretical and experimental investigations of the loads to which external containment structures for nuclear reactors are subjected in the vent of a violent incident at the reactor core, the evaluation of methods of reducing that loading, and the study of the response of and design criteria for external con… 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.

A Preliminary Study of Pre-Solvent Extraction Treatment of Stainless Steel-Uranium Fuels with Dilute Aqua Regia

Description: The continuous dissolution of 304 stainless steel and stainless steel-UO2 alloy in dilute aqua regia was studied with subsequent stripping of the dissolver product to remove chloride ion. The process has the advantage of producing, by means of a simple head end treatment, a solvent extract feed in a conventional nitric acid medium so that existing solvent extraction processes, materials of construction and waste disposal methods can be used. The purposes of this study were to investigate the va… more
