Increase in reactor power ratings through increased H{sub 2}O and D{sub 2}O flow rates

Description: As a part of the Productivity Increase Program, consideration should be given to further gains in 100 Area production levels which can be achieved by further increases in both light and heavy water flow rates. This memorandum presents a summary of the power level gains which should be achieved from the flow increases under consideration, a discussion of the costs and production losses which might apply, and a brief listing of some other considerations which might influence any decision to incre… more

RESUME OF INFORMATION ON HYDROGEN IN TITANIUM ALLOYS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS TO HRP

Description: A summary is presented of available information on the nature of H embrittlement in Ti, its control, and effects on other Ti properties. Most data also apply to Zr. Types of embrittlement are discussed, along with H sources and effects on mechanical properties. Also, the effects of H on forming heat treatment, and joining are discussed as well as Ti production and processing and methods of H removal. Finally, H in-service pickup is considered, and methods for establishing the extent of this rea… more

Fast Transient Heating and Explosion of Metals Under Stagnant Liquids

Description: Thermnl transients with total pulse times of 3 to 28 milliseconds were simulated by direct-current electrical heating in studies of the explosions of Ag, Al, Cu, Sn, U, Zn, and Zr specimens under water and under oil at an ambient temperature of 75 d F and at atmospheric pressure. Motion pictures were taken of many of the explosions at film speeds of 7,500 to 14,500 frames/sec. A 600-foot composite reel was prepared which shows 7 representative explosions and views of the equipment. Data for 34 … more
