An Investigation of Scaling of Zirconium at Elevated Temperatures: "Single crystals of iodide zirconium were oxidized to determine any lattice relationship existing between zirconium and the oxide overlay, and a review of experimental data and proposed theories to explain the oxidation behavior of zirconium was made. A method of measuring the rate and depth of gas diffusion in alpha zirconium was devised, and calculations were made for the temperature range 900 to 1200 deg C using samples scaled in air, oxygen, and nitrogen. The consumption rates at lower temperatures were estimated from solutions to the diffusion equation. Distribution of gas during scaling was investigated. In general, breakaway occurs at shorter scaling, and the growth rate increases as the impurity level of zirconium is raised and the scaling atmosphere is changed from oxygen to air."

The importance and means of correcting for the series resistance of the cell system itself and of using equations which take into account the phase differences between the faradaic and capacitive currents are developed. Other topics reviewed include the nature of the dependence of the peak a-c on depolarizer concentration, effect of adsorption of depolarizer and electrode, and a simplified procedure for quantitative analysis."

Inner and outer regions of pure D/sub 2/O and an intermediate region of uranyl sulfate in D/sub 2/O are considered. Characteristics were calculated for the case R/sub 1/ = 40 cm, R/sub 2/ = 60 cm, and R/sub 3/ = 150 cm."
Engineering Report: "An evaporator system was developed and tested which will concentrate two types of non-radioactive wastes. The wastes were of the slurry type within initial concentration of 32% solids and a final concentration of 7O% solids by weight. Information concerning design practices for this type of evaporator, startup and operating procedures, methods of recovery from unexpected shutdown, and procedures for descaling was gained. The test waste was synthetic and not radioactive; however, the procedures were evolved for application to radioactive materials. In addition, over-all heat transfer rates as a function of temperature difference and the relationship between percent concentration and boiling point for the two wastes were obtained."
Correlation of Polarographic Walf-Wave Potentials With Nuclear Magnetic Resonance "Chemical Shifts": "Since nuclear magnetic resonance ''chemical shifts'' are considered to be good measures of electron densities in molecules, the extent to which they can be correlated with the polarographic half-wave potentials of organic compounds has been surveyed. To extend the applicability and interpretation of the proposed correlation, parallel correlation of E, with Hammett's sigma and Taft's sigma parameters were made, since both of the latter are also regarded as indication of electronic distribution at the reactive center. The data in general support the view that changes in half-wave potential with structure are due to both electronic and steric effects, as well as perhaps to adsorption phenomena. Significantly, NMR data obtained with one type of substituent could be correlated with E/sub 1/2 data for a similar type of substituent. New NMR data for aliphatic nitro and halogen compounds are reported."
Polarographic Reduction of Uranium (VI): "Previous studies of the effect of uranium species on the polarographic behavior of certain organic compounds indicated the advisability of further study of uranium itself. The polarographic reduction of U(VI) to U(V) in acid solution is very sensitive to both type and concentration of anion present. Consequently, the reduction was studied using perchlorate as a non-complexing anion and sulfate as a complexing anion. In HCLO4 solution, increasing the perchlorate concentration shifted E(1/2) to more positive potentials, which seem to correspond to junction potential effects. Increasing either HCLO4 or perchlorate concentrations increased the limiting current slightly, which can be attributed to a high rate of disproportionation of U(V); other factors, e.g., viscosity of the solution, tend to counteract the effect of the disproportionation. In sulfate media, UO2+ is not strongly complexed, the association constant for the U(V)-sulfate complex being 0.15, if UO2SO4 is the most stable uranyl sulfate complex present. The effect of acid on the stability of the uranyl sulfate complex confirmed the existence of the complex as an uncharged species. Limiting currents were pseudo diffusion-controlled, e.g., increasing the solution viscosity by increasing the electrolyte content decreased the current; this is due to the maximum disproportionation rate of U(V) having been reached at even the lowest sulfuric acid level investigation; increasing the anion concentration consequently slowed down diffusion."
On the Calculation of Properties of Gases at High Temperatures: "The role of the potential of intermolecular force in determining properties of gases at elevated temperatures is discussed. Coefficients of viscosity and self diffusion, isotopic reduced thermal diffusion ratios, and second virial coefficients for helium, argon, and nitrogen at 1,000, 5,000, and 15,000 d K were calculated from extrapolated potentials and from beam potentials."

The gas were found to desorb according to a logarithmic law following initial rapid desorption. The logarithmic law may be shown to be operative if the activation energy for desorption varies linearly with surface converge. A large apparent negative entropy of activation for desorption supports the fact that the adsorbed CO2 is in a mobile state."
Tests of Models of Nuclear Reactor Elements: "Losses have been determined for flow through models of various proposed core sub-assemblies as part of a study of the elements of a nuclear reactor. Six core sections and two axial blanket sub-assemblies have been compared on the basis of drop in piezometric head or pressure drop. The core sub-assemblies are composed of an entrance nozzle, a lower axial blanket section, the core section, an upper axial blanket section, and a short section for the handling lug. The four parts of the sub-assembly other than the core section are designated as the axial blanket sub-assembly. In each core section there are l44 rods within a container which has a square cross section. The primary differences between one core section and another are the means of supporting and spacing the rods. Bars or wires wrapped in spirals around the rods were used as well as a series of grids made up of wires and supported at the four corners. Also, in one core an inner wall was used to provide an annular flow passage which helps to reduce the difference in temperature at the inner and outer walls of the core. The two axial blanket sub-assemblies tested are similar except that the second model is characterized by more gradual transitions in changes of cross-section."
A Monte Carlo Study of Neutron Thermalization: "The slowing down of neutrons from fission to absorption energies in a homogeneous medium has been treated by a Monte Carlo method. thermalization by elastic collisions in both light and heavy water was computed on an IBM 650. One-sixth the mean-square distance travelled by the neutrons was interpreted as the migration area. This quantity was analyzed to give the age, t, both above and below the indium resonance, and the thermal diffusion constant. D, as functions of the moderator temperature, the effective moderator mass, the moderator composition, the scattering the absorption laws, and the energy distribution of the neutron source. The migration area from the fission eneergy source to below the indium resonance energy (1.46 ov) was found ro be 27.4cm^2 for H2O and 120 cm^2 for D2O. By varying the absorption cross section, the migration area from the indiu, resonance energy to absorption of the neutrons could be decompsed into components D/L^2 and Ts. D and Ts were found to be 0.19 cm and 0.77 cm^2 respectively for H2O and 0.87 cm and 20 cm^2 for D2O. D was found to increase with the thermal agitation of the moderator at the rate of 0.15$/C for H2O and 0.14%/C for D2O. Neutron energy distributions found from the scattering frequency agree with those derived by analytical methods."
