Atmospheric Signals From Explosions and Their Interpretation

Description: Results are reported from a series of experimental highexplosive shots under inversion conditions at the Nevada Test Site which were made in an attempt to refine blast prediction techniques. Applications of the data in determinations of the amount of energy which remains in the blast wave as it reaches acoustic level and in determinations of the magnitude of the reflection factor when the blast wave strikes the ground are discussed. Data on shock wave propagation are presented graphically. It i… more

EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE: SOME ORGANIC CONSTITUENTS OF METEORITES ANDTHEIR SIGNIFICANCE FOR POSSIBLE EXTRATERRESTRIAL BIOLOGICALEVOLUTION

Description: In order to decide the value and type of information to be obtained from outer space with regard to its pertinence for the evolution of life, a brief review is presented of the current status of our thinking on the origin of life on earth. This points up the particular kinds of chemicals whose presence, or absence, on other astral bodies might be significant. Heretofore, the only data available are the result of telescopic spectroscopy. We report here information indicating the presence in mete… more

Magnetic Recorder for Nuclear Pulse Application : Covering the Period from October 6, 1959 to December 5, 1959

Description: "Abstract: Data on analog magnetic tape characteristics are presented along with results from conventional and modulator playback system operational tests. Theoretical considerations imply that the modulator head should be loss sensitive to short term variations in record and playback tape speed. It is also pointed out that although a tape recorder operating at 7.5 in./sec has only 12 kcs bandwidth for sinusoidal wave forms. the record and play-back amplifiers for pulse recording can operate wi… more

Temperature Measurement in Operating Reactors: In-Reactor Temperature Measurement Associated With Fuel Element Testing

Description: The Fuel Development operation at Hanford uses a variety of in-reactor facilities to test experimental and prototypical fuel elements. High pressure-high temperature water loops in constant use are the 6 in. {times} 9 in. ETR core facility, the 3 in. {times} 3 in. ETR reflector facility and four front-to-rear loops in the 100-K East reactor at Hanford. Low pressure water cooled test facilities in use are located in the MTR the various Hanford reactors. Stainless steel sheathed the thermocouples… more

Continuity of Operations Program: Prime Separations and Uranium Conversion Facilities

Description: This Program detailed in this report is related to the Product Development, Palmolive, and Non-Production Fuels Programs under New and Special Products and Processes Category where the prime separations plants supply raw materials or processing support of these other programs. Likewise, Increased Plant Return Program items affecting the Purex, Redox, and UO{sub 3} Plants must be integrated with the Continuity of Operations Program. Since the primary separations plants feed the 234-5 Facility, t… more

Final report on the fuel and target element evaluation at increased irradiation levels for tritium production: Production tests 313-105-35-M and 105-562-A

Description: The C Reactor was proposed for producing tritium. To evaluate the performance of enriched U-Al J elements and natural Li-Al alloy target (N) elements, 60 charges containing both J and N pieces were irradiated under a variety of conditions in C Reactor. No ruptures were sustained; however Tube 3276-C was discharged because of a suspect. Corrosion rates of J elements were not worse than for natural U irradiated under same conditions. Differences between corrosion of J elements prepared by three d… more

Production test IP-296-D, swelling test of natural and three percent enriched metallic uranium

Description: The objective of this production test authorization is to permit the irradiation of sixteen, 0.394 inch diameter, metallic uranium spheres at temperatures between 300C and 800C in the 3674 ank 3865 KW front-to-rear test tubes. Eight spheres will be of natural uranium and eight of enriched (3% U-235) uranium. Temperature controlled and temperature monitored test capsules containing either four natural or three percent enriched uranium spheres will be irradiated. Pre- and post -irradiation examin… more

Net return course - operational severity index formuli

Description: This document presents a nomograph from which the relationship between reactor operating parameters, tube power, and outlet temperature can be correlated with rupture rate. The index indicates the severity of the reactor climate during irradiation and does not include the metal quality parameters defined in the rupture rate equation. The general form of the Operational Severity Index Equation is OSI=P{sup 3.3}/1000{times}t{sub 0}{sup 8.7}/100, where OSI, is the unitless Operational Severity Ind… more

Local control strength change due to overboring

Description: The possibility of overboring in existing Hanford reactors to increase slug size has been suggested as a means of increasing production. The effect on control system strength of such a modification is, of course, one of the factors which must be considered. This report presents the results of a study requested by the Reactor Physics Unit of the local buckling of control rods as a function of the migration area. The migration area varies for different lattice make-ups, but due to the complexity,… more
