Fission product release from simulated LWR fuel. [Loss of coolant or spent fuel transportation accident conditions]

Description: A series of tests has been conducted with simulated LWR fuel as part of a program for determining the quantities and characteristics of radiologically significant fission products that can be released under postulated spent-fuel transportation accident (SFTA) conditions and successfully terminated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions. These tests were performed in either flowing-steam or dry-air atmospheres with Zircaloy-4-clad fuel-rod segments that contained unirradiated UO/sub 2/ pelle… more

Quarterly progress report on fission product release from LWR fuel, October--December 1976

Description: The series of Control Tests has been completed. These tests were conducted to evaluate the suitability of the apparatus design, to test the various fission product characterization devices and methods, and to establish the behavior of known chemical species which are expected to be encountered in the latter phases of the program. Those tests which utilized either CsI or Cs/sub 2/O were found to yield deposits of hydrated CsOH in the moist environment. With the completion of the Control Test Ser… more

Behavior of highly radioactive iodine on charcoal in moist air

Description: The behavior of highly radioactive iodine adsorbed on charcoal exposed to moist air (110 torr water vapor partial pressure) was investigated in a series of six experiments. The amount of radioactive /sup 130/I on the well-insulated 28-cm/sup 3/ bed ranged from 50 to 570 Ci, and the relative humidity was 47 percent at the bed inlet temperature of 70/sup 0/C. Radioactive iodine was released from the test beds at a continuous fractional release rate of approximately 7 x 10/sup -6//hr for all types… more

Behavior of iodine, methyl iodide, cesium oxide, and cesium iodide in steam and argon

Description: An experimental program has been initiated with the overall goal of providing a definitive understanding of fission product behavior under conditions applicable to light water reactor accidents in which the fuel rods reach a maximum temperature in the range 500 to 1300/sup 0/C. In order to test the apparatus and techniques of analysis, a series of ten experiments was performed in which selected fission product-type compounds were exposed to high-temperature steam and argon atmospheres. The spec… more

Knudsen cell--mass spectrometer studies of cesium--urania interactions. [Cs/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ or CsOH]

Description: Limited Knudsen cell--mass spectrometer studies were made of the partial pressures of cesium-containing species (assumed to be primarily Cs(g)) over Cs/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ and over phase equilibria involving UO/sub 2/ and probable Cs-U-O compounds formed from mixtures that initially contained either Cs/sub 2/CO/sub 3/-UO/sub 2/ or CsOH-UO/sub 2/. Although additional work is required to further define the equilibria involved, the data demonstrate unambiguously a significant reduction in cesium parti… more

Fabrication of the prototype 201.25 mhz cavity for a muon ionization cooling experiment

Description: We describe the fabrication and assembly of the first prototype 201. 25 MHz copper cavity for the muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE). This cavity was developed by the US MUCOOL collaboration and will be tested in the new MUCOOL Test Area at Fermilab. We outline the component and subassembly fabrication steps and the various metal forming and joining methods used to produce the final cavity shape. These include spinning, brazing, TIG welding, electron beam welding, electron beam annealing… more

Comment on "Radiocarbon Calibration Curve Spanning 0 to 50,000 Years B.P. Based on Paired 230Th/234U/238U and 14C Dates on Pristine Corals" by R.G. Fairbanks, R. A. Mortlock, T.-C. Chiu, L. Cao, A. Kaplan, T. P. Guilderson, T. W. Fairbanks, A. L. Bloom, P

Description: Radiocarbon calibration curves are essential for converting radiocarbon dated chronologies to the calendar timescale. Prior to the 1980's numerous differently derived calibration curves based on radiocarbon ages of known age material were in use, resulting in ''apples and oranges'' comparisons between various records (Klein et al., 1982), further complicated by until then unappreciated inter-laboratory variations (International Study Group, 1982). The solution was to produce an internationally-… more

Marine04 Marine radiocarbon age calibration, 26 ? 0 ka BP

Description: New radiocarbon calibration curves, IntCal04 and Marine04, have been constructed and internationally ratified to replace the terrestrial and marine components of IntCal98. The new calibration datasets extend an additional 2000 years, from 0-26 ka cal BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950), and provide much higher resolution, greater precision and more detailed structure than IntCal98. For the Marine04 curve, dendrochronologically dated tree-ring samples, converted with a box-diffusion model to… more
