Examination of furnace belt failure in 232-Z incinerator

Description: Metallographic examination has been completed on samples from the Nichrome V wire mesh furnace belt in the 232-Z building incinerator. During service the furnace belt had broken in several places where the wire was welded together. A grain boundary phase was found in weld metal during metallographic examination of the as received material. It is probable to conclude that the failure during service was caused by accelerated corrosion of the weld and that the accelerated corrosion in that area wa… more

Final report for FY 1965 on tungsten--uranium dioxide materials for NASA. Part I. Preparation of high purity uranium oxide powders. Part II. Cladding and joining of tungsten cermets by plasma spraying. Part III. Tungsten coating of uranium dioxide particles

Description: Declassified 28 Aug 1973. Several uranium oxide fuel materials were prepared for evaluation. Included was a 2-pound sample of plasma jet spheroidized. 30- to 60- mu UO/sub 2/ of precisely controlled stoichiometry containing less than 50 ppM metallic impurities. Six 1-pound samples of 30- to 60- mu U0/sub 2/ were prepared which contained calcium oxide, thorium oxide, or yttrium oxide stabilizing agents in solid solution. These powders were coated with 8 to 10 mu of tungsten by hydrogen reduction… more

Production Test PT-IP-810 installation of flat aluminum horizontal control rod, D Reactor

Description: The two small reactors (B and D) currently utilize a flat aluminum horizontal control rod consisting of three cooling tubes surrounded by boron carbide-aluminum neutron absorber rings and an outer casing of aluminum. Two adverse and complementary characteristics of these rods have served to limit the functional reliability of the rods under current and anticipated reactor operating conditions. The construction of the rod presents a relatively high resistance to transfer of heat from the sheath … more
