Acid-Base Equilibria in Tertiary Butyl Alcohol

Description: From abstract: "The dissociation of acids in tertiary butyl alcohol has been studied by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, and conductimetric methods. Values for the over-all dissociation of perchloric and picric acids and several tetrabutylammonium salts were estimated by the Fuoss-Kraus treatment of conductance data. Potentiometric studies were carried out at constant ionic strength in order to minimize activity coefficient variations. An acidity scale was established from potentiometric mea… more

Aluminum Alloy Work at Hanford

Description: Investigation of aqueous and steam corrosion at elevated temperature has been carried on at Hanford for several tears. A number of reports have been published on various phases of the corrosion program but, except for monthly reports, little has been written on the progress of the Corrosion and Coatings Operation alloy development program. This interim report will outline the more important current phases of the aluminum alloy program.

Avalanche Transistor Switching

Description: Introduction. High voltage silicon mass transistors have the ability to perform circuit functions similar to the gas thyratron tube. Upon being triggered the transistor junction breaks down, or "avalanches", and can conduct a large current for a short time. The rise time of the avalanche breakdown pulse can be short, and the delay between triggering and avalanching can be short and very consistent. This avalanche action is non-destructive if the amount of peak and average power being dissipated… more

Bibliography of Temperature Measurement: January 1953 to June 1960

Description: Report presenting more than 500 references to the field of temperature measurement. These references were collected from two general sources: Scientific and technical literature and government reports. The period covered is from 1953 to June 1960, with some from earlier dates. References are divided into a number of categories based on the type of instrument used. Some references to calibration of instruments and to scientific theories upon which temperature measurement is based are also presen… more

Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole Test Well-B, Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site

Description: Abstract: "Fifteen in situ interval densities were calculated from the borehole gravity meter observations made in Test Well-B. The weighted average density for all the rocks sampled by the gravity meter is 1.83 gm/cc. The alluvium density ranges from 1.71 to 1.82 gm/cc and averages 1.76 gm/cc. The lake beds range from 1.91 to 1.93 gm/cc and average 1.92 gm/cc. The Rainier Mesa Member averages 1.83 gm/cc. The Tiva Canyon Member averages 1.74 gm/cc and the upper 110 feet of Topopah Spring Member… more

The Boron-Carbon System: Quarterly Report Number 3, November 1960 - January 1961

Description: Abstract: A definitive investigation of the boron-carbon equilibrium system is being made by X-ray diffraction, metallographic, and thermal analytical techniques. On the basis of metallographic and X-ray diffraction studies it is concluded that boron carbide has a range of solubility from approximately 10 to 20 atomic per cent carbon at 1500 degrees to 2000 degrees Celsius. The melting point of the carbide-graphite eutectic has been established as 2325-2350 degrees Celsius. No reversible allotr… more

C pile mark 1 overbore fuel element design

Description: It is necessary to provide the option of using either aluminum or zirconium tubes in the C pile 20-tube overbore test. A bumper-type fuel element has been designed to fit a fixed ribbed aluminum tube size; zirconium tube dimensions were then determined which will provide the same flow and pressure drop when the fuel element is changed from bumper type or self-supported without changing other fuel dimensions.

C2N-C5N fuel swelling problem radiometallurgy examination

Description: Fuel element swelling problems have been experienced in the high-exposure fuel irradiation program in C Reactor, In an effort to determine the mechanism responsible for this swelling, three elements from C Reactor, one of which was a ruptures, were sent to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for visual and metallographic examination. Because the swelled fuel was not numbered as to column position, the exact position of the examined elements is not known but they were believed to have come from the c… more

Cation Exchange Separation of Divalent Metal Ions From Rare Earths

Description: From abstract: "The divalent metal ions of calcium, magnesium, nickel, and strontium are eluted from a cation exchange column with 1.5M nitric acid and separated from trivalent rare earths, aluminum and yttrium. Prior sequential elution of other metal ions with hydrochloric acid in acetone-water or with dilute hydrofluoric acid does not interfere with the present separation method."

Classification of PuO2 Particles

Description: The Biology Operation, Hanford Laboratories, required plutonium dioxide particles in five different micron and sub-micron size ranges. These were to be supplied as a water suspension in small containers. It was necessary to design equipment, suitable for hood operation, which would give a satisfactory separation of these particles.

Contraction of graphite: A comparison of laboratory and production reactor data, Part I-B, D, F, H, DR, and C Reactors

Description: A program has been carried on at Hanford for a number of years to study the effect of neutron radiation on the dimensional changes in graphite. This program has been concerned with the changes measured on small graphite samples which have been exposed to various conditions of temperature and neutron flux. Theoretical studies have also been conducted to determine damage mechanisms. The prime purpose of this research program has been to develop, with the support of the carbon companies a radiatio… more

Corrosion of plutonium metal when stored in containers having plastic components

Description: The conclusions are: (1) The formation of powder or ``oxide`` in the storage container is caused almost entirely by packaging of plutonium in plastic materials. (2) The corrosion of the plutonium follows degradation of the plastic due to the intense radiation. (3) The powder, formed by this corrosion is not PuO{sub 2} but a mixture of oxides, hydrides, and chlorides in varying proportions, depending on the type and amount of plastic in the individual storage container. (4) The powder consists p… more
