Attack on Uranium by Lithium at 600 C

Description: The tests described in this report were static tests devised to afford a basis for a quick evaluation of the resistance of uranium to attack by lithium. The work was done at the same time as the tests of beryllium, thorium, and various engineering metals in lithium (described in ANL-4990); but the results with uranium are given in the present classified report so that the results of the other tests can be published as an unclassified document. The procedure for carrying out the tests is describ… more

Fabrication and Properties of Extruded Silver-Cadmium Control Rods

Description: The production of cross-type control rods having a span of 4-7/8 in., and an arm thickness of 1/8 in., was studied. Extrusion techniques were developed for producing cross-type control rods from each of two alloys; one containing 75% silver-25% cadmium, and the other containing 67% silver-30% cadmium-3% copper. Fabrication of the extruded crosses into clad control rods for the Mark I naval reactor was attempted. A set of unclad control rods for the Zero Power Reactor was produced. The effect of… more

Zrclad Zirconium-Uranium Alloy Rod for Heat Thru-Put Test

Description: The purpose of this work was (1) to investigate the possibility of producing zirconium-clad zirconium-uranium alloy objects by casting the core alloy directly into zirconium and zirconium-3 w/o tin jackets, producing a diffusion bond at the jacket-core interfaces, and (2) to produce small scale heat thru-put test specimens by this method.

Calculations on U235 Fission Product Decay Chains

Description: Report of equations for calculating decay of U235. The introduction states" Calculations have been made on the U235 fission product decay schemes. The results for a typical example, that of a reactor operating at 1000 kilowatts for 180 days, have been tabulated and graphed. General formulae have been used so that the results can be applied for any power level and any time of irradiation" (p. 2).

A Capsule Design for Experimental High-Flux Irradiations Of Fuel Materials

Description: New reactors presently in design or construction stages, as well as revised operating procedures for existing reactors, have shown an increasing emphasis on extending the exposure time of the reactor fuel elements. However, operating experience at Hanford, as at other installations, has demonstrated that as the amount of burn-up in uranium metal is increased an increase is also noted in operational difficulties resulting from the dimensional behavior of the fuel. During reactor irradiation uran… more

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Some Aluminum-Lithium Alloys

Description: The results of this study are tabulated in Summary Tables A and B below. For the most part, these values were read from smoothed curves drawn thru the plotted experimental data. The values for aluminum (i.e., 0 w/o Li) were taken from the 1948 Edition of the ASM Metals Handbook. The room temperature properties are reported for lithium contents of 0, 3.5, 7 and 10 weight per cent. In the case of the high temperature properties, there were insufficient data to allow extrapolation and interpolatio… more
