A Discussion on the Layout of Elements of a Control Panel

Description: This memorandum is an outline of the principles and methods employed by 5100 Human Engineering Personnel in consultation on test equipment panel layout. The process of control panel layout is partially formalized with particular emphasis on test equipment panels. An experimental method is proposed for selecting an optimum panel layout. The essential role of experimentation is pointed out. The optimal layout for a nonrepetitive procedure is deduced and generalized to give methods of layout solut… more

Underground Movement of Radioactive Wastes

Description: The theory and preliminary laboratory investigations presented in this technical report were intended to examine the general feasibility of injection disposal of radioactive wastes and to establish an understanding of the phenomena governing the travel of trace chemicals through natural porous media. Detailed studies of fluid velocity variations resulting from density differences between the injected and displaced liquids have been made. the ion exchange studies have been limited to strontium a… more

Irradiation of U-Mg Matrix Fuel Materials to High Exposures

Description: An experiment designed to evaluate the in-pile performance of the U-Mg fuel material when irradiated to high burnups has been completed. Twelve specimens of the fuel material which contained uranium particles that packed 50 volume per cent, (91.5 weight per cent), uranium in a magnesium matrix were canned in Zircaloy cans and irradiated in the Materials Testing Reactor to 0.1 (1000 MWD/T), 0.3 (5000 MWD/T), 1.0 (10000 MWD/T) and 2.0 20000 MWD/T) per cent burnup of the total uranium atoms; more … more

A Large Area Alpha Scintillation Probe

Description: An Alpha Scintillation Probe for use with the HAPO Cart Poppies has been designed to replace the air proportional probes presently used. The new probe has an average geometry of about 15 or 16 percent over an effective probe area of 23.4 in². Stability of operation under normal conditions of vibrations, humidity and temperature are inherent qualities and the average background count is stable at about two counts per minute. The high voltage used is in the order of 1,200 to 1,250 volts with a cu… more

Surface Structure of Pile Irradiated 2S Aluminum

Description: The surfaces of cold rolled, half hard, nitric acid treated, autoclave etched, 2S aluminum coupons were studied by optical and electronoscopic methods, before and after exposure to hot water alone and hot water and neutron bombardment. The non-exposed aluminum surfaces have a characteristic pattern which is absent in the exposed coupons. All of the exposed coupons were corroded. In general the coupons exposed to the higher flux intensities of irradiation were more severely corroded than those e… more

A Simplified Description of Spherical and Cylindrical Blast Waves

Description: "Investigations into the behavior of the gas flow behind spherical or cylindrical blasts have shown that secondary shocks arise within the original detonation gases. The secondary shock, at first weak, is carried outward with the expanding gases. Subsequently it strengthens and bends back toward the origin, arriving there with high intensity. By using some recently developed techniques in shock dynamics a theory is developed by which the motion of the main shock wave, as well as the formatio… more

Measurement of the Wolfenstein Parameter R at 210 Mev.

Description: "Recent theoretical advances in describing the nucleon-nucleon interaction (particularly in the T=1 state) have emphasized the importance of obtaining an unambiguous experimental determination of the scattering matrix so that the nuclear phase shifts and details of the nuclear potential may be revealed. It is possible to select five experiments, the results of which, in principle at least, determine the scattering matrix and phase shifts uniquely at one energy. Two of these experiments, the cr… more

Sodium Graphite Reactor, Quarterly Progress Report, December 1953 - February 1954

Description: "Engineering pertinent to the development of the sodium-cooled, graphite-moderated type of reactor was continued. This included work on problems related to the zirconium canned moderator, low enrichment uranium fuel, sodium piping, secondary coolant system, shielding, and the control and safety elements. A large fraction of the work was devoted specifically to problems of the proposed Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) configuration. In this connection, an integrated effort was initiated to pre… more

Separations Chemistry, Quarterly Progress Report, January-March 1954

Description: "Scale-up work on high temperature fuel recovery processes has progressed to the point where the (high temperature) vacuum furnace for several operations to the hot cells has been completed and tested under operating conditions. Small scale experiments on high temperature methods for processing molten irradiated uranium fuel have been made with spent X-10 fuel slug pieces. The results of direct Pu evaporation, treatment with fused fluorides and oxide scavenging were every similar to those fou… more

Effect of Annealing Media on the Mechanical Properties of Uranium

Description: The annealing or heat treatment of uranium in any medium other than a good vacuum or purified helium atmosphere, will lower the room temperature properties of ultimate strength, hardness and elongation. In general, the elongation of vacuum annealed uranium exceeds considerably the elongation of air or salt annealed uranium. Any annealing medium which permits contact of the uranium metal with atmospheric gases tends to produce low elongation and ductility and a lowering of the ultimate strength.… more

Fusion Welding of Uranium

Description: A technique for the fusion welding of uranium has been under development and several methods of fusion welding have been investigated. The inert gas, shield arc method has proven to be the most satisfactory of the processes thus far examined. Uranium properly weld by this method was free from porosity, cracks, and oxide inclusions. Certain precautions and some special techniques were required to make good welds.

The Use and Calibration of Scintillation Counter--Model Y

Description: Several improvements have been made in the gamma scintillation counter (GSC). The Model V gamma scintillation counter uses a canned thallium activated sodium iodide crystal as a detector. Although the electronic components remain unchanged, a modification of the sample support has been made to improve reproducibility of geometry. To assure comparable results between various counters, they must be operated at the same energy threshold and counting yield. Methods have been developed to assure… more

Evaluation of environmental data relating to selected nuclear power plant sites: the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Site

Description: Environmental monitoring data for the years 1973 and 1974 pertaining to the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 1, which began operation in early 1974, were analyzed by the most practical qualitative and quantitative methods. Terrestrial biotic resources were considered for this plant. The effects of the operation of Unit 1 on the local terrestrial organisms were found to be undetectable. Although the plant has not operated long enough to reveal long-term deleterious effects, the present ind… more
