Accelerated aging tests of liners for uranium mill tailings disposal

Description: This document describes the results of accelerated aging tests to determine the long-term effectiveness of selected impoundment liner materials in a uranium mill tailings environment. The study was sponsored by the US Department of Energy under the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project. The study was designed to evaluate the need for, and the performance of, several candidate liners for isolating mill tailings leachate in conformance with proposed Environmental Protection Agency and Nuc… more

Effect of prestress and stress on the strength and oxidation rate of nuclear graphite

Description: Effects of prestress or stress during oxidation on the reactivities and strengths of PGX and H451 graphites were examined at oxidation temperatures of 450 to 600/sup 0/C in air and 550 to 750/sup 0/C in 2% H/sub 2/O/He. Little or no effect of compressive prestress at stress levels of up to 75% of the mean fracture strengths, was found. A small effect on the reactivity of H451 graphite was observed in the case of 2% H/sub 2/O/He, i.e., the rate was enhanced by no more than 30% for compressive pr… more

Fiber felts as low density structural materials

Description: Short fiber felts structures can be made which provide improvements in properties over foams. In applications where resistance to compression set or stress relaxation are important, bonded fiber felts excel due to the flexing of individual fibers within their elastic limit. Felts of stainless steel and polyester fibers were prepared by deposition from liquid slurries. Compressive properties were determined as a function of felt parent material, extent of bonding, felt density, and length-to-dia… more
