Temperature-Induced Stresses in Solids of Elementary Shape

Description: Report discussing how solids subjected to non-uniform temperature change develop internal stresses determined by, (1) the temperature distribution within the solid, and (2) certain physical constants of the material. For two varieties of heating, the equations determining stress have been put in convenient form for practical use, and tables of certain temperature functions show how to determine stresses in a slab, in a cylinder, or in a sphere subjected to either of two modes of heating. The te… more

FUEL BURNUP STUDIES FOR A 225 Mwe ADVANCED SODIUM GRAPHITE REACTOR

Description: Reactivity and fuel burnup studies were performed for a 255 Mw(e) sodium- graphite reactor of the advanced calandria core type. This reactor is briefly described. Initial criticality calculations and flux distributions were obtained, using two-group theory for enrichments between 2.0 at.% U/sup 325/ and 4.0 at.% U235. A four-group burnup study was performed for enrichments between 2.5 at.% Uisup nd 3.25 at.% U/sup 235/. Core lifetime, changes in isotopic fuel composition, variations in radial p… more

PERFORMANCE OF HNPF PROTOTYPE FREE-SURFACE SODIUM PUMP

Description: A free-surface centrifugal pump, incorporating a hydraulic bearing running in sodium, was operated at the conditions required for service in the Hallam Power Reactor. After difficulties arising from inadequate shaft clearances were alleviated, the pump performed properly at a flow rate of 7200 gpm of 945 gas-cooled F sodium at 150-ft head. Results Hallam plant.

The Reaction Between Sulfuric Acid and Aliphatic Hydrocarbons. Amsco 125- 82

Description: Concentrated sulfuric acid is regularly used to remove unsaturated hydrocarbon impurities from saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. The reaction between concentrated sulfuric acid and saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons is not so well known. A survey of the chemical literature was found to include studies that show several relatively slow reactions. Isotopic exchange with D/sub 2/SO/ sub 4/, racemization of optically active alkanes, isomerization, cleavage to alkanes of lower molecular weight, combin… more

The Theory Of Emulsion Track Structure

Description: The statistical behavior of measured track quantities, gap density, gap length coefficient, and lacunarity is studied. The transformations which give the expectation values of track quantities on inclined tracks are then found.

T-Functions

Description: The main purpose of this paper is to make a detailed study of a certain class T of complex functions. The functions of the class T have a special mapping property and are meromorphic in every region. As an application of this study, certain elementary functions are defined and studied in terms of a special T-function.

A Method for the Dynamic Determination of the Elastic, Dielectric, and Piezoelectric Constants of Quartz

Description: From Abstract: "Several dynamic determinations have been made of the constants of quartz. Most of these determinations do not take into account the piezoelectric effect; those that do, suffer from certain deficiencies which are discussed in this paper."

LEAKAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF OPENINGS FOR REACTOR HOUSING COMPONENTS

Description: Measurements were made of the air leakage rates through structural components that penetrate semicontainment reactor housing installations. Full- sized test specimens were sealed inside a 10-ft-diameter test sphere, and the leakage rate was measured as a function of pressure for pressure differentials of up to 25 in. of water. The data were fitted to empirical equations that describe the leak rate at any pressure differential within the range of the experimental tests. The forms of the equation… more

Separation of Transplutonium and Rare Earth Elements by Liquid-Liquid Extraction

Description: A method of separating americium and curium from most of the rare earths based on selective extraction of the rare earths into mono-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (M-2EHPA) from concentrated chloride solutions has been developed and tested on a laboratory scale, with tracer amounts of Am-241 and macro amounts of mixed rare earths. This procedure is one step of the proposed multistage process for recovering Pu-242, Am-243, and Cm-244 from highly irradiated Pu-239 if additional rare earth removal i… more

SNAP I POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT. Period covered: February 1, 1957 to June 30, 1959

Description: Development of the SNAP I power conversion system is described. The system is designed to convert the thermal energy produced by the decay of radioisotopes into 500 watts of electrical energy by means of a mercury Funkine cycle. A list of specific accomplishments of the program is included. (J.R.D.)

Increased pumping capacity at 181-D scope and justification

Description: The purpose of this report is to provide scope and justification for the installation of one new 900 HP pump in the 181-D Building and to tie the two 36-inch headers together in order to supply sufficient water to increase production at 105-D and 105-DR.

Sampling and Analytical Data on Al-Pu Alloy for PRTR Start-Up Tests

Description: In answer to the question, "How well do we know the composition of the fuel material for the PRTR start-up tests?", the analytical data on the PRTR fuel elements and other fuel elements which were fabricated by similar processes was gathered and analyzed. The results of this analysis are presented.

Use of control charts for analysis of plant rupture experience

Description: Goal exposure and power level planning and administration on either a short-term or long-term basis, is heavily dependent upon assessment of the level of metal performance. It is the purpose of this document to present a method of monitoring the metal performance level employing the concept of control charts, and to propose adoption of this method as the basis for detecting changes in the metal performance level of the three main types of production fuel elements, i.e., C-II-N, O-II-N, and K-II… more
