On Neutron Evaporation From Excited Nuclei

Description: At high excitation energies, competition of proton and c-particle emission with neutron emission becomes important. For low excitation, the competition between Y-emission, neutron emission, and fission should be taken into account. To aid in the evaluation of this competition an experiment has been performed to measure the number and energy spectrum of the protons and c-particles emitted in the high energy bombardment of uranium with protons, deuterons, and c-particles.

Engineering Report on the Design of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Forced Convection Alkali Metal Vaporization Condensation Heat Transfer Rig

Description: Summary. A test rig has been designed to obtain basic two phase forced convection liquid metal heat transfer and pressure drop data for use in the design of liquid metal boilers. This engineering report includes background of the boiling problem, partial summary of work done by other investigators, the object, scope, engineering, and operations of this test rig, and a summary of reproducibility tests conducted in a water back-up rig.

Magnetic Acceleration of a Plasma by a Rail Source

Description: Abstract: "Two parallel wires close together with an arc between them form a hairpin-type of current configuration which should magnetically propel the plasma of the arc. By the time-of-flight measurements with probes it has been demonstrated that directed translational energies of 290 ev can be imparted to deuterons in a plasma produced by a high-current pulsed arc at the tips of two titanium wires loaded with deuterium. It is believed that three deuterons are actually magnetically propelled."

A Spectrometer for Study of Neutron Activation of Beryllium-7 as a Function of Energy

Description: Abstract. A neutron diffraction crystal spectrometer with a resolution of 13 microseconds per meter and monochromatic beam intensity up to 10(4)n/cm(2)=sec in the range 0.012-0.400 ev has been constructed for study of the activation cross section of Be7 as a function of energy in the thermal region. First preliminary results using ZnS(Ag) as a detector suggest the possibility of a resonance for the Be7(n,p)Li7 reaction in the region of 0.025-0.050 ev.

Concrete Cone Anchor Tests

Description: This study was initiated to determine the minimum safety requirements for safe anchorage of electric pole lines. The objectives were to investigate the suitability of manufactured concrete pole line anchors for use at the Hanford Atomic Products Operation, to design a concrete anchor slug of optimum shape and size for manufacture, to determine by field tests the resistance pullout of the concrete anchor when buried at various depths under the most favorable condition, and to develop a safe desi… more

Isotopic Examination of Tantalum

Description: Introduction: "The ionization region in the Nier mass spectrometer is customarily constructed of copper. Various other metals were tried for this purpose; among them tantalum and molybdenum, with both metals it was found that a spectrum of the fluoride of the metal appeared when uranium hexafluoride was admitted. It was thus possible to produce tantalum fluoride with comparative ease and to make a critical examination of the mass spectrum to set an upper limit of abundance of tantalum isotopes.… more

Optimum Water Velocity for the Converter Reactor

Description: Abstract: "Two cases are considered. In Case I, the reactor water velocity is optimized to obtain a minimum annual cost (including amortization and operating costs) for the cooling system along. The optimum velocity for a 310 megawatt reactor is calculated to be ~25 feet per second, compared to the present design value of 30 feet per second. In Case II, the velocity which will give the minimum cost of product under the assumptions of varying power and production rate is found to be in the range… more

Stratospheric Monitoring Program

Description: "The performance of the Model I electrostatic precipitator sampler in recent field and laboratory tests is described and discussed. Two of the four precipitator-bearing balloon flights during this interval reached the floating altitude of approximates 105,000 feet, and the precipitator operated efficiently on both. One sample was collected at the nominal design flowrate of approximates 100 cfm, and the second at approximates -200 cfm. Comparison of the deposition profiles of the stratospheric s… more

Development of Techniques for Power Production From Mixed Fission Products

Description: "An investigation was made into the various processes for the fixation of mixed fission products as solids in order to determine the extent they could be utilized as heat sources for thermoelectric generators. Generators of up to ten watts can be designed and built with state-of-art'' thermoelectric materials and mixed fission products soon to be available from the ldaho Falls calcination pilot plant. Mixed fission products from other processes and plants to be on stream'' in this decade will b… more

Control Air Conditions at the Reactor Chamber. Section I. Test Results DL-S-269

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the ability of the Control Air System to provide the necessary quantity and quality of clean, dry air to keep the rod drive mechanism stator and position indicator housings at about 3 PSIG in order to avoid low stator resistances resulting from condensation during plant cooldown. The Control Air System is capable of providing the quality of air specified in AEC letter SBO:JWF:100 dated November 17, 1958 of less than 44 grains of moisture per lb. of air i… more

Pipet Filler

Description: A number of pipetting aids are commercially available which obviate the necessity of filling pipets by oral suction. Most of the commercially available devices involve fitting the pipet into a soft tight fitting bushing and filling by means of either a piston or a rubber bulb. The pipet is then emptied by means of a valve control which permits, it is claimed, a dispensing accuracy of 0.1mL. It is at once apparent that the probable error (10% for a 1 mL. pipet) is considerably greater than is pe… more

Mode Identification in the Iris-Loaded Waveguide of a RF Particle Separator

Description: The theoretical and practical aspects of the accelerating mode (TM01) in iris-loaded waveguides have been covered extensively in many reports and publications. The pulse shortening observed in linacs and the possible application of an iris-loaded waveguides as the deflecting structure for rf particle separators stimulated the interest in the nature of higher order modes. Some experimental results on higher order modes in iris-loaded waveguides are available in references. Results of studies don… more

Perturbation Techniques for the Deflecting Mode

Description: The descriptive parameters of a waveguide with smooth or periodic structure are most easily measured in a waveguide section of suitable length which is transformed into a resonant cavity by placing short circuits at both ends. Measurements of dispersion diagram, phase velocity, group velocity, voltage attenuation coefficient, shunt impedance, field configuration, etc. all involve some form of perturbation technique. The introduction of a perturbing object in a resonant cavity changes the stored… more
