Measurement of distortion in second experimental control rod with temperature patterns simulating shim rod out and shim rod 50 percent inserted for Argonne Naval Reactor

Description: Thermal distortion tests were made on a stainless steel clad, cadmium-silver control rod furnished by the Argonne National Laboratory. Two temperature patterns supplied by the Argonne National Laboratory were simulated in these tests; one represented the shim-rod-out condition and the other the shim-rod-50-percent-inserted condition. The greatest reduction in clearance effected by thermal distortion was 0.076 inch. No permanent set of the control rod was observed after repeated heating and cool… more

The Sodium Hydroxide Reactor: Effect of Reactor Variables on Criticality and Fuel-Element Temperature Requirements for Subsonic and Supersonic Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion

Description: Report presenting results of two-group criticality calculations for sodium-hydroxide-cooled, moderated, and reflected reactors for various concentrations and compositions of reactor fuel-element structural material. Based on turbojet-engine cycle operating conditions optimized for minimum airplane gross weight, the maximum reactor fuel-element and coolant temperatures are related to the reactor heat release and airplane gross weight for a range of reactor heat-transfer variables.

Chemistry Division Semiannual Progress Report for Period Ending June 20, 1955

Description: Continued work on the adsorbability of metal complexes from concentrated LiCl solutions and LiCl-HCl mixtures on a strong-base anion-exchange resin further demonstrated the much higher adsorbability of these complexes from LiCl solutions than from HCl solutions. The effect is believed to be due to the formation of less strongly adsorbed undissociated chloro-complex acids in the case of the HCl solutions.

Bibliography of ORNL-BSF Reports Pertinent to Swimming Pool Type Reactor Design (Revised)

Description: Much of the shielding work carried out with the Bulk Shielding Reactor (BSR) has yielded data of particular interest for the design of swimming pool type reactors, However, it is often difficult for a reactor designer to locate such data since it may be recorded in a report primarily concerned with shielding problems. Therefore, this memorandum presents a bibliography of reports from the Bulk Shielding Facility arranged according to the application of data to the various aspects of reactor desi… more
