An Ultrasonic Method for Bond Testing Reactor Fuel Elements

Description: Ultrasonic testing has been investigated as a possible non-destructive method for checking the bond integrity of certain type fuel elements. Equipment has been developed to inspect experimental fuel elements for various research programs. Circuits have been devised to discriminate the size of defects and to map the areas which are unbonded.

Load calculation and system evaluation for electric vehicle climate control

Description: Providing air conditioning for electric vehicles (EVs) represents an important challenge, because vapor compression air conditioners, which are common in gasoline powered vehicles, may consume a substantial part of the total energy stored in the EV battery. This report consists of two major parts. The first part is a cooling and heating load calculation for electric vehicles. The second part is an evaluation of several systems that can be used to provide the desired cooling and heating in EVs. … more

Further Studies of Sintered Refractory Uranium Compounds

Description: The refractory uranium compounds UC and UC/sub 2/ were prepared by arc- melting methods, UN by gas solid reactions, and UB/sub 2/ and UBe/aub 13/ by solid-solid reactions. Techniques for sintering powder compacts of these compounds to densities 90% of theoretical or greater were developed. Mean linear thermal-expansion coefficients of 7.9 x 10/sup -6/ per deg F for Uc and 9.3 x 1O/ sup -6/ per deg F for UBe/sub 13/ were obtained in the range 68 to 1800 deg F. The thermal conductivity of sintere… more

Characteristics of Fault Zones in Volcanic Rocks Near Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site, Nevada

Description: During 2005 and 2006, the USGS conducted geological studies of fault zones at surface outcrops at the Nevada Test Site. The objectives of these studies were to characterize fault geometry, identify the presence of fault splays, and understand the width and internal architecture of fault zones. Geologic investigations were conducted at surface exposures in upland areas adjacent to Yucca Flat, a basin in the northeastern part of the Nevada Test Site; these data serve as control points for the int… more

Surface Preparation of Metallographic Specimens of Zirconium-Base Alloys Containing Copper

Description: A combination of chemical and electrolytic polishing was successful in the metallographic preparation of Zr--1% Cu and Zr--1.6% Cu alloys. Chemical polishing produced flat surfaces that were suitable for examination with polarized light but were not suitable for examination with bright-field illumination. Electrolytic polishing applied to ground or mechanically polished specimens produced surfaces that were well etched but often were pitted heavily. A chemical polish followed by a short electro… more

Using Chemicals to Optimize Conformance Control in Fractured Reservoirs

Description: This report describes work performed during the first year of the project, ''Using Chemicals to Optimize Conformance Control in Fractured Reservoirs.'' This research project has three objectives. The first objective is to develop a capability to predict and optimize the ability of gels to reduce permeability to water more than that to oil or gas. The second objective is to develop procedures for optimizing blocking agent placement in wells where hydraulic fractures cause channeling problems. Th… more
