Supplement D, Production Test IP-314-A, measurement of fuel element temperature changes as the result of film deposition

Description: The thermocouple train is modified by the substitution of one eighteen-inch enriched and four twenty-four inch natural uranium tubular elements for the two thirty-six inch enriched tubular elements used on the original thermocouple train. The operating limits for the loading have been changed because of the change in charge power. This supplement also authorizes the addition of fuel elements upstream of the thermocouple train if the thermocouple element and heater elements do not provide enough… more

Static Stress Determinations in Salt, Site Cowboy

Description: An investigation was made to determine the stress field in the salt dome and the stress concentrations on the surface of the small (12-ft diameter) sphere. For the most part, the apparatus and techniques used in the investigation are new and have not been described in other reports. Therefore the theory, concepts, apparatus, and some of the lists made to determine the reproducibility of the apparatus are described briefly. (W.L.H.)

Scavenging of Particulate Matter in Connection With Nuclear-Powered Ships. Final Scientific Report

Description: The work carried out over a 2 1/2-yr period on the scavenging of radioactive particles which might be released by the reactor system of a nuclear- powered ship is summarized. Two types of dispersions were considered: aerosols and hydrosols. Radioactive aerosols were scavenged by heterogeneous coagulation with solid and liquid aerosols produced within the radioactive aerosol cloud. Liquid or highly hygroscopic particles, which can be classified as solid particles with liquld films on their surfa… more

Pilot Plant Preparation of Thorium Oxide and Thorium-Uranium Oxide During Fiscal Year 1960

Description: Test quantities of thoria (aporoximately 3800 lb of thorium oxide and 3200 lb of mixed thorium-uranium oxide) were prepared during FY-1960 for members of the Reactor Experimental Engineering Division (REED). For preparation of thorium oxide, the calcination temperature was varied from 650 to 1800 deg C. The surface area of the fired oxide ranged from 0.5 to 25 m/sup 2//g and the mean particle size ranged from 1 to 8 microns. For preparation of mixed thorium-- uranium oxide, the calcination temp… more

PREPARATION AND EVALUATION OF ALUMINUM-35 w/o URANIUM ALLOYS CONTAINING UP TO 3 w/o TIN OR ZIRCONIUM

Description: The effects of ternary additions of up to 3 wt.% Sn or Zr to an Al-35 wt.% U extrusion alloy were evaluated on the basis of casting characteristics, UAl/sub 3/ retention, extrusion behavior, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. Both additions increased the fluidity of the alloy, and both promoted retention of UAl/sub 3/. The best fluidity was obtained by a 2 wt.% Sn addition, while Zr was the more effective stabilizer of UAl/sub 3/. The retention of UAl/sub 3/ decreased the extrusio… more
