Attempts to Delineate Inborn Anemias in Mice. Progress Report and Fifth Renewal Proposal, Report Period: January 10, 1959-January 31, 1960. Renewal Period: May 1, 1960-April 30, 1961

Description: During the past year, three papers covering results of a major series of experiments on intergenotype of blood-forming tissue have appeared, demonstrating successful implantation of isologues normal cells in anemic hosts, permanently correcting their genetic defect in hematopoiesis, both with and without irradiation of the host. Heavy host irradiation was shown ineffective as preparations for implantation of homologous cells of widely different antigenic types.

Thorium Bismuthide : Ultrasonic Control of Crystal Size

Description: Thorium bismuthide when crystallized from a solution i bismuth results in large platelets which may be as large a 1 centimeter in diameter. A slurry of these platelets is difficult to pump through pipe lines and filters. The particle size can be reduced by (1) very rapid cooing (approximately 1000 degree C per second) or (2) ultrasonic treatment. The latter, much easier to attain in large scale, gives equiaxed particles of thorium bismuthide.

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section I. EFPH-5465.2. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231, T-612394

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the radiation levels in a Reactor Plant Boiler Compartment with the respective loop shut down and the remainder of the plant operating at power. The highest radiation levels recorded in the IC Boiler Compartment were located in the vicinity of the reactor coolant loop pipe penetrations of the Compartment. Except for the above mentioned areas, personnel could continuously occupy the IC Boiler Compartment without exceeding the maximum dose rate of 300 mr p… more

Analog Computer Analysis of the Thermal Behavior of the EDCR Due to Reactivity Accidents

Description: The ORNL analog computer was used to examine one aspect of a safety system for the EGCR. The thermal behavior of the fuel as a result of increases in reactivity at various power levels and gas flows was examined. Safety actions initiated by wither a flux-minus-flow signal or a reactor outlet gas temperature signal were included in simulation.

FORE - A Computational Program For The Analysis Of Fast Reactor Excursions

Description: A digital computer program, FORE, which calculates transients for a fast reactor, has been coded for the TRANSAC 2000 computer. Its purpose is to provide understanding of the dynamics of fast reactors with particular emphasis on large ceramic-fueled fast reactors. The program calculates reactor power and temperatures of fuel, coolant, clad, and structure.

Analysis of Thorex Pilot Plant Radiation Exposures During 1955

Description: The Thorex Pilot Plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was operated during 1955, processing reactor-irradiated thorium slugs to recover U233 and thorium and 12 MTR fuel elements to recover U235 and Np237. The radiation exposure received by operating personnel during this period averaged 60 mrcp/man-week. Most radiation exposure was received in areas that were intended to be only slightly or nonradioactive. However, because insufficient decontamination of process solutions was achieved and equi… more

Solid State Division Semiannual Progress Report for Period Ending August 31, 1955

Description: LITR Fluoride-Fuel Loop. — The inconel loop was dismantled for removal of the samples and for recovery of the uranium by using the remote cutting tools installed in a half cell of the Solid State Building. Disassembly proceeded without incident. An electric-arc cutting technique was developed for removal of the stainless steel enclosure around the pump bowl. Fission power and maximum flux were determined by irradiating a simulated loop, by heat-balance calculations, by radiochemical analyses fo… more

Statistical Evaluation of Methods for the Analysis of Dibasic Aluminum Nitrate (DIBAN)

Description: The indicated methods for determining the following constituents of Diban, which is an aqueous solution of dibasic aluminum nitrate, Al(OH)2NO3, were evaluated statistically: 1aluminum by gravimetric, volumetric, and spectrophotometric procedures, 2. basicity (hydroxyl value) by formation of an aluminum complex and titration of the free acid with standard alkali solution, 3. total nitrogen by the Kjeldahl method, 4. ammonia by the Kjeldahl method, and 5. nitrates by means of a cation-exchange r… more

Products Produced in Continuous Neuron Irradiation of Thorium

Description: Calculated data and graphs describing the effects of continuous thermal-neutron irradiation of thorium, the usual method of operations of homogeneous reactors, are presented.The buildup and decay of U^233, Pa^233, other heavy isotopes, and fission products are considered on the basis of best available cross-section and fission-yield data. The effects of the heavy isotopes and fission products on neutron economy are discussed.

Internal Bunching in the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS)

Description: Four methods of rebunching protons within Brookhaven's AGS are discussed. The first method involving switching off the old r-f and switching on the new r-f simultaneously with the new r-f increasing adiabatically seems impractical. Two other methods utilize gradual removal of the old r-f voltage and introduction of the new r-f voltage, or the reverse. Removal of the old r-f voltage followed by introduction of the new seems to give the best results. Several phase diagrams are included. (D.C.W.)

Use of Isolated Junction Sheathed Thermocouples for Moderator Temperature Measurements

Description: Two types of enclosed hot junction arrangements are possible with sheathed mineral insulated thermocouples. They are the integral junction and he isolated junction. The integral junction is formed by welding, soldering, brazing or forging the two wires into the end of the sheath. The process forms a good thermal and electrical contact between the three materials.

Magnetic-Force Resistance Butt Wielding of Zircaloy-2 Fuel Element Closures

Description: Zircaloy-2 has a strong tendency to absorb oxygen and nitrogen at elevated temperatures. These gas impurities are extremely harmful, causing brittleness and loss of corrosion resistance. The production of ductile corrosion-resistant welds by present methods required shielding of the weld metal by an inert gas atmosphere or by a vacuum. The alternative to an inert gas atmosphere or a vacuum is reduction of the welding time to a few milliseconds of time to prevent gas absorption.

Recovery of Plutonium and Neptunium from Purex IWW by Anion Exchange

Description: The recovery of plutonium and neptunium by anion exchange has been well demonstrated on a laboratory scale. (1, 2,3,4) The specific adsorbed by the resin is the tetravalent hexanitrate complex of either element. With plutonium (IV) and neptunium(V) in IWW, the plutonium is adsorbed but the neptunium is not. If nitrite is used as the reductant in strong (preferably 8 M or over) nitric acid, both plutonium and neptunium are obtained in the tetravalent state, and both are adsorbed on the resin. Wi… more

Hydromagnetic Ionizing Waves

Description: It is possible to generate a relatively uniform, highly ionized plasma by passing a powerful discharge between electrodes so arranged that the current is forced to flow across an initial strong magnetic field. The magnetic induction due to the discharge causes a bending of the original field. If the discharge is operated with a low-impedance current source, the electric breakdown starts in a limited region near the current-input connections (minimum-inductance path) and propagates as a well-def… more
