Specific Zirconium Alloy Design Program Quarterly Progress Report: Seventh Quarter, October - December, 1963

Description: Summary: All experimental work under the Corrosion Mechanism task has been completed. The remaining topical reports are being prepared by D. L. Douglass, now on assignment at Mol. Experimental work on the first round of 31 alloys and on the second round of 10 alloys has been completed. Steam exposures of at least 3000 hours were finished for all the alloys at all test temperatures, with exposures of some coupons to 6700 hours. Mathematical expression have been derived to describe all first r… more

Transition Boiling Heat Transfer Program; Fourth Quarterly Progress Report, October - December 1963

Description: Summary: Heat transfer tests employing the two-rod test section without film tripping devices have been completed. Representations defining critical heat flux, transition boiling and film boiling behavior at high pressures and over a steam quality range of 25 to 90 percent are shown. Fabrication of a new observational test section was completed and initial test results with high-speed motion pictures were obtained. A test loop instability which was found to affect transition boiling behavio… more

The Treatment of a Cesium Ore by Sulfur Chloride and Chlorine

Description: From Abstract : "A Southern Rhodesian cesium ore containing essentially pollucite was chlorinated by a gaseous mixture of sulfur chloride and chlorine at temperatures between 550 and 770°C. The optimum conditions with the fixed bed reactor used in this study were chlorination at 650°C for 4 1/2 hr with an more particle size that passes a 150 mesh sieve."

Tricarbalyllic Acid (Propane-1, 2, 3-Tricarboxylic Acid)

Description: From report : "Tricarbalyllic acid (propane-1, 2, 3-tricarboxylic acid) has a structure similar to that of citric acid, except that it lacks the hydroxyl group attached to the middle of the carbon atom. Properties of the rare earth citrates have been used very successfully in the separation of rare earths by ion exchange methods; consequently it was deemed advisable to study the rare-earth compounds which form with the anion if triarbalyllic acid."

Application of the Variational Method to the Calculation of the Time Dependence of the Neutron Flux in Small Pulsed Slabs, Cylinders and Spheres

Description: The variational method is applied to the monoenergetic time dependent transport equation to obtain a simple relation for the asymptotic decay constant in small pulsed assemblies. The results indicate that flat trial functions may be a reasonable representation of the flux distributions in the thin slab limit. This approach is superior to many of the usual transport approximations.

Evaluation of Resonance Capture Approximations

Description: The program KRUDE, which solves the slowing down and adjoint equations for a mixture of resonance and nonresonance isotopes in an infinite homogeneous medium, was used to evaluate some resonance capture approximations (variational and successive) that use linear combinations of narrow and wide resonance fluxes. Results obtained for resonance capture in the 291-ev resonance of Zr/sup 91/ and the 192-ev resonance of U/sup 238/ are compared, and three methods for including Doppler effects in the v… more

[Delta]I = 1/2 Rule for Non-Leptonic Strangeness-Changing Decay Processes

Description: Gell-Mann and Pais were the first to suggest that the non-leptonic decay processes of strange particles may be subject to an isospin selection rule, allowing only those decay transitions which involve a change [delta]I = 1/2 in to total isopin of the system. At present, however, there is really no theoretical framework for the description of weak interactions into which this selection rule fits in a natural and compelling way. The report includes sections on the 91) decay processes of the [care… more

Two-Phase Pressure Losses Quarterly Progress Report: Seventh Quarter, August 12, 1963 - November 11, 1963

Description: Technical report describing that the pressure drop along an annular channel with dimensions D(1) = 0.375 inch; D(2) = 0.875 inch, L = 70 inches. Flow was vertical and upward, and only the internal surface was heated. Subcooled conditions existed at the inlet, with two-phase conditions at the exit. Groups of three radial spacer pins on 18-inch centers along the channel, held the inner surface concentric with the outer surface. The single phase loss coefficient for each spacer group is K(8) = 0.2… more

Accurate Nuclear Fuel Burnup Analyses; Eighth Quarterly Progress Report, (September - November 1963)

Description: The objective of the Accurate Nuclear Fuel Burnup Analyses program is to develop more accurate methods for burnup analysis for general use than the current method of analysis of Ca-137 or Sr-90. The program will require from three to five years of effort.
