State of Matter at High Pressure

Description: Abstract. The region where exact thermodynamic description of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature is possible is located. In the remaining region various approximate theories and empirical relations are discussed. These considerations are applied to hydrogen to locate the density and pressure at which the diatomic bond collapses. Also the approximate conditions are determined at which no bound electron states exist.

Fast Neutron Flux Measurements and Analysis in SM-1 and PM-2A Core and Vessel Mockups

Description: Abstract: This technical report contains a summary of experimental and analytical work performed on cold clean SM-1 Core II with special components and PM-2A Core I each with thermal shield and vessel mockups. The purpose of this work was to define the neutron intensity and spectra to which the pressure vessels are subjected in order to assess the effect of irradiation on the vessel lifetimes. The radial distributions of the energy dependent neutron flux per unit power in the core and vessel m… more

Columbia River Thermal Effects Study. Quarterly progress report, January--March 1969

Description: The Columbia River Thermal Effects Study is an interagency study being carried out jointly by the Atomic Energy Commission, the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration, and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. Leadership for the study as a whole has been assigned to the Northwest Region of the FWPCA. By agreement among the participating agencies, a brief progress report on each project of the study is to be provided each quarter to the FWPCA on a standardized format. The FWPCA consolidate… more

Criticality Predictions in the Hanford Reactors

Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the general area of criticality prediction errors at the smaller (``pre-K``) reactors. Such errors evolve from a number of uncertainties which are difficult if not impossible to eliminate with present measuring and accounting techniques; the magnitude of these uncertainties in aggregate was indicated in an earlier study about 1.5 milli-k, which, at the time of the study, represented an ``inherent`` prediction error that constituted a practical limit on a… more

Transfer measurement statistic derived from Purex processing measurements` quality control program, second half of 1965

Description: This report gives an analysis of the audit data obtained during the last half of 1965 at eight transfer stations: L9 plutonium product, K6 uranium product, F15 salt waste, D5 dissolved feed, F18 utility waste, G8 organic wash waste, R8 organic wash waste, and U3 laboratory waste. Two ways of improving the Purex quality control program are described.

Abstract -- A description of low temperature hydriding of zircaloy at Hanford

Description: The two K Reactors at the Hanford Plant of the Atomic Energy Commission were retubed in 1963 with ribless Zircaloy process tubes. These tubes, 1.81 inch OD x 0.037 inch wall, were made by tube reducing methods from extruded blooms and were installed without final pickling or autoclaving. These tubes are used with once-through filtered water with a maximum coolant temperature of approximately 110 C. After approximately two years` service, it was discovered that these tubes were absorbing hydroge… more

High-Temperatuer Creep Evaluation in Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere : Summary Report, October 1, 1959 to March 31, 1961

Description: This report follows an investigation made to determine creep-rupture data for three sheet materials. Fourteen of sixteen tests were made in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide within hermetically sealed capsules, analyzing the reaction of the three sheet metals: 347 stainless steel, iron-aluminum-chromium alloy designated 261C, and a zirconium-base alloy, AE1H. Minimum creep rate, per cent elongation, and rupture life were determined and reported.

Weapons Effects for Protective Design

Description: A lecture intended to provide a general background in weapons effects is presented. Specific areas of nuclear explosion phenomena pertinent to the design of hardened systems discussed include nuclear radiation and shielding, fireball growth and effects, thermal radiation, air blast, cratering and throwout, ground shock effects, fallout, and afterwinds.

CARBIDE FUEL DEVELOPMENT. Phase IV Report, September 15, 1961-September 30, 1962

Description: Single-phase solid solution UC-- PuC powders were prepared by the carbon reduction of a mixture of UO/sub 2/ and PuO/sub 2/. A simple method was developed to determine the completion of the reaction by analyzing the exhaust gas from the furnace for CO. Four groups of solid solution (U/sub 0.8/Pu/sub 0.2/ )C/sub 0.95/ pellets were prepared for irradiation tests. The groups differed in the enrichment of uranium and in the presence or absence of nickel sintering aid. Without sintering aid, densiti… more
