Electron Microscope Studies of Irradiated Beryllium Metal

Description: When beryllium is irradiated by fast neutrons, helium is produced by the (n,2n) and (n,Ī±) transmutation reactions. Electron microscopy techniques have been used to study the nucleation and distribution of helium bubbles in several different grades of beryllium, after irradiation at temperatures in the range 75 ā€” 700ĀŗC. The effect of post-irradiation annealing is also reported. It is shown that for similar neutron doses and irradiation temperatures, there were wide variations in helium bubble siā€¦ more

Fuel Element Experiments in SADE-VBWR Nuclear Superheat Loop

Description: Abstract: Three irradiation experiments are described which have been designed to study the behavior of fuel elements in a reactors superheated steam environment. The experiments were conducted in the Superheat Advanced Demonstration Experiment loop, Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor. The results obtained demonstrated that 304 stainless steel fuel clad in unsatisfactory for use in nuclear super heat fuel sheath designs where plastic strain or plastic deformation is allowed to occur.

Gas-Phase Radiolysis of Propane

Description: Abstract. the direct and inert-gas radiolysis, as well as the vacuum ultra-violet photolysis of CD3CH2CD3, CH3CD2CH3 and C3H2+C3D3 mixtures have been investigated in the presence of radical scavengers. The major conclusions are : (a) at atmospheric pressures, neutral propane decomposition contributes to the observed products although to a lesser extent than parent ion decompositions ; (b) a variation in pressure has a pronounced effect on the fragmentation of the parent ion ; (c) the hydrogen aā€¦ more

Heat Transfer to Superheated Steam

Description: Abstract: The physical property variation of superheated steam differs sufficiently from most other gases to warrant experimental investigation of heat transfer performance. Results are reported here of measurements made in a uniformly heated circular duct with steam at 1000 psi. The data agree very well with the expression use for design purposes, which is based on information in the literature for heating of other gases as well as steam. This work was a continuation of that performed under ā€¦ more

Mass Spectrometric Evidence for the Pyridoxal-Leucine Reaction Mechanism

Description: From Abstract : "The mass spectrum of leucine-dn, prepared by the reaction of pyridoxal with excess leucine in D2O medium, has been established using the crucible source techniques. ... The reaction can be used for the selective Ī±, Ī²-deuteration of amino acids other than leucine.

Nuclear Superheat Project. Internal Steam Separation Development of Radial Vane Steam Separators

Description: This technical report describes the development, design, operation, and performance of a full-circle, radial-vane steam separator for the boiling water section of a nuclear superheat reactor. Steam-water tests of this model have demonstrated that is has vane capacity in excess of that required for the 300-Mx(e) separate superheat reactor and for the 300-Mw mixed spectrum superheat reactor. It is proposed that the vane capacity requirement of the 600 Mw(e) separate superheat reactor may be attaā€¦ more

Physics Calculations for the Consumers Big Rock Point Process Computer

Description: The physics calculations to be performed on the Consumers On-Line Process Computer are reported. As a result of these calculations, a three-dimensional power shape is simulated, a reactivity balance is approximated, and the neutron exposure of each third of fuel bundle and control rod are accumulated. The work was reported as a part of the Consumers Research and Development Program.

Pressure-Volume-Temperature Measurements on Solids

Description: From abstract: "The results of recent measurements on the equations of state of sodium and xenon are discussed. The experimental data for each of these are analyzed to show that the isothermal compressibility is solely a function of volume within experimental accuracy. The basic differences between the low temperature PV relationships for sodium and xenon are shown to be easily understandable in terms of the elementary theories of these substances. The range of experimental pressures (to 20 kbaā€¦ more
