HANFORD STUDIES FOR EGCR COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS. Summary Report

Description: The temperature, geometry, and flow conditions which exist in the EGCR were duplicated in a mock-up designated as the EGCR Burning Rig to establish the combustion conditions in the reactor. The conditions under which the EGCR Burning Rig will ignite were established and an analytical model was developed which predicts these conditions. Because the Burning Rig cannot exactly dupIicate the reactor situation the final prediction of the safety of the EGCR must rest on computer calculations employin… more

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium. Summary Report, September 15, 1961 to September 14, 1962

Description: The extent to which zirconium and zirconium alloys exhibit delayed failure (static fatigue) as caused by a combination of absorbed hydrogen and applied stress was investigated. Susceptibility to time-dependent fracture was evaluated for unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 with 200 and 500 ppm hydrogen as well as for an experimental Zr Al-Sn-Mo alloy and the Canadian Zr-2.5Nb cladding material. For unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 containing up to 500 ppm hydrogen, no room-temperature, timedepe… more

Upgrade of the Proton West secondary beamline

Description: As originally designed and operated, protons entering PW6 were steered by a series of EPB dipoles into a single interaction length beryllium target, some 43 feet from the enclosure wall. Ensuing secondary beams, either p{sup +}/{pi}{sup +} or p{sup -}/{pi}{sup -}, were collected by a string of quadrupoles following the target, steered westward, away from the Proton Center line, through PW6 and PW7, and ultimately focussed on experiment production targets located within the large PW8 hall. Aroun… more

Analytical model for the dynamic resistivity of electrically-exploded conductors

Description: A detailed model for the dynamic resistivity of an exploding conductor presents many difficulties. An electrically-exploded conductor undergoes significant hydrodynamic expansion as it is heated. Resistivity is a function of both the temperature and density of a conductor and realistic models for resistivity over the range of parameter space experienced by an exploding conductor are quite complex. See for example, the model of Lee and More (1984). Calculation of the hydrodynamic expansion of th… more

Dosimetry measurements external to a 10 kiloliter liquid-air vessel containing a D-T neutron source. [14 MeV neutrons]

Description: To determine the radiation attenuation characteristics of liquid air (109 g/cm/sup 2/ thick) for 14 MeV neutrons from a central D-T source in a 10 kL vessel, radiation dose measurements were made using a large tissue-equivalent ion chamber external to the vessel. The shielding characteristics of steel spherical shells were also investigated. Experimental results were analyzed and compared with TARTNP Monte Carlo code calculations. Degradation of the ion chamber's response to high-energy neutron… more

THE FABRICATION AND IRRADIATION TESTING OF DISPERSION-TYPE BeO-UO$sub 2$ CERAMIC FUEL MATERIALS

Description: Considerations affecting the design of dispersion-type ceramic fuel materials are discussed. The results of measurements made to study the effect of fuel loading on the properties of the fuel bodies and the results of irradiation tests of fuel pellets composed of 20 vol% UO/sub 2/ dispersed in BeO are presented. Experience in the fabrication of dispersion-type BeO --UO/sub 2/ ceramic fuel materials is described. From the results obtained, it is believed that BeO --UO/sub 2/ fuel materials of th… more

Air Lift Performance at Low Liquid Rates Using Oversized Piping and Lateral Runs

Description: The use of oversized piping in an air lift for transferring solutions at rates less than 5 liters per hour was proven feasible with certain limitations. Reliable operation was also obtained with air lifts containing a lateral run inserted between the point of air injection and the final discharge point. Discharge of the air lifts, especially at low liquid flows, was very erratic under the conditions studied. (auth)

World nuclear fuel cycle requirements 1991

Description: The nuclear fuel cycle consists of mining and milling uranium ore, processing the uranium into a form suitable for generating electricity, burning'' the fuel in nuclear reactors, and managing the resulting spent nuclear fuel. This report presents projections of domestic and foreign requirements for natural uranium and enrichment services as well as projections of discharges of spent nuclear fuel. These fuel cycle requirements are based on the forecasts of future commercial nuclear power capacit… more

NEUTRON FLUX AND Cd RATIO MEASUREMENTS IN THE HN-1 BEAM HOLE FOR THREE FUEL LOADINGS OF THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR

Description: Neutron flux measurements were made in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor beam hole HN-l shield plug. at low reactor power (N/sub L/) with three fuel configurations. The purpose of these tests was to determine the most favorable fuel arrangement in the region of the experimental hole in order to permit minimization of exposure time of an in-pile slurry loop experiment using pure thoria. It was found that the perturbed thermal neutron flux decreased by factors of 2, each 1.4 in., at the forward end … more

SUMMARY OF HRT RUN 21

Description: The HRT was operated experimentally during run 2l at powers up to 5 Mw to explore the limiting conditions of fuel stability and to demonstrate the reliability of the system. The effect of core pressure on fuel stability was investigated over the range from l250 to 1750 psig. Stable operation at 5 Mw (2.6 Mw in the core) was demonstrated at 1250 psig. At 1600 and 1750 psig, fuel instability accompanied by rapid loss of reactivity occurred at powers down to 2.5 Mw. The threshold power for reactiv… more

Longitudinal spin fluctuations in nickel

Description: The longitudinal and transverse spin fluctuations in Ni have been measured below {Tc} by means of polarized neutron scattering in the momentum range 0.06 < q < 0.18 {angstrom}{sup -1}. In transverse scans spin wave peaks at E{sub q} = Dq{sup 2} appear as expected from early measurements performed with unpolarized neutrons. The longitudinal magnetic scattering {sub {chi}L}(q, E), on the other hand, is quasielastic without any signature of inelastic peaks near E{sub q}. The q and T dependences of… more
