EEN-333, revised getter flash procedure

Description: EWR No. VTE-188--Tubes processed by flashing getters immediately prior to seal-off from vacuum systems are compared for total residual gas pressure to tubes processed by flashing getters after tubes were sealed off vacuum systems. Comparisons of residual pressures determined from current flows in the cold cathode ion gauge.

Accurate Micrometer for Corrosion Samples

Description: A micrometer that utilizes eddy current techniques is described. The gage is capable of measuring nominal 0.5000-in. aluminum rods to an accuracy of plus or minus 0.00005 in., and is unaffected by residual nonconductive surface filins such as oxides or corrosion products. (auth)

Activity in the HFIR Primary Coolant System After a Meltdown of the Fuel in Reactor

Description: An estimate was made of the fission product activity which would result in the HFIR primary coolant system following a meltdown of the fuel element within the reactor. The rare gases and the halogens appear to be the main contributors to the gamma activity in the coolant system imnmediately after the meltdown, and iodine appears to be the main contributor 24 hours after the meltdown.

THE ADIABATIC ELASTIC MODULI OF SINGLE-CRYSTAL ALPHA URANIUM AT 25 C. Work completed: January 1958. Partial Report-Metallurgy Program 4.1.16

Description: The 9 single-crystal elastic moduli pertaining to principal crystallographic axes of alpha U at 25 deg C were determined from measurements of high-frequency wave velocities for 21 modes in seven single-crystal specimens, using the phase-comparison method of McSkimin. From the results the elastic compliances, compressibilities, and Poisson"s ratios were computed for the principal axes. Th variations with crystal direction of the stiffness moduli, Young's moduli, and rigidity moduli were plotted.… more

AEC Group Shelter

Description: As a result of atomic shelter tests and field experiments condueted over the past nine years, it has been conclusively shown that shelters provide the only promising means of civilian protection in the event of a nuclear war. Design details are presented for a group shelter to accommodate 100 persons of all age groups and both sexes. The shelter structure is a multiplate corrugated- steel arch set on a concrete slab with end walls of bridge plate sheathing. The entire structure is covered with … more

An Analysis of Junior Executive Training Programs in Department Stores in Texas

Description: The problem was to determine the significance of various relationships between job-performance ratings and selected factors associated with the college curricula of junior executive trainees. Job-performance ratings were made by personnel directors and immediate supervisors of college graduates enrolled as participants in junior executive training programs in department stores in Texas.

ANION EXCHANGE SEPARATION OF TRIVALENT ACTINIDES AND LANTHANIDES

Description: A process for separating americium and curium from rare earths by anion exchange based on selective chloride complexing was developed and tested on a laboratory scale. The separation is accomplished by sorption of americium, curium, and rare earths on Dowex 1-10X resin from a solution of 8 M LiNO/dub 3/ followed by selective elution of rare earths with 10 M LiCl and americium-curium elution with 1 M LiCl. In a laboratory demonstration of this process, greater than 99.5% of americium tracer cont… more

Anticipated heat generation rate of MGCR-III fuel element as a function of enrichment

Description: The DR-1 Loop, located in the C test hole of the DR Reactor, provides a high temperature, recirculating gas-cooled facility for the irradiation of experimental fuel elements. The loop is being utilized currently by General Atomic, a Division of General Dynamics, to evaluate fuel elements in support of their work on the Maritime Gas-Cooled Reactor Program, a program which is directed at the development of a ship propulsion unit consisting of a gas-cooled reactor driving a closed cycle gas turbin… more

APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF FISSION-GAS RELEASE FROM NEUTRON-ACTIVATED FUELED GRAPHITE

Description: A simple laboratory apparatus for the study of fissiongas release from neutron-activated fueled graphite was developed. Xenon-133 released from a heated specimen is carried in a helium sweep gas to a charcoal trap, where the accumulated activity is monitored continuously by a scintillation detector, ratemeter, and pen recorder. The maximum specimen temperature (2500 deg F) is achieved in 10 min with an induction heater. All instrumentation is commercially available. Data for several neutron-act… more

Appendix 8, Decay of Cerium-144

Description: As part of an earlier program of investigation in this laboratory, studies were made of the gamma ray spectrum and the beta ray spectrum of cerium-144. In the present work, seme coincidence studies were made on one of the beta groups appearing in the cerium-144 decay and on the gamma rays appearing in the deexcitations from the energy levels of praseodymium-144. Sources of cerium-144 were prepared frcm carrier free radioactive cerium-144 as supplied by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The sam… more

Application of Nuclear Power Supplies to Space Systems

Description: Studies were made to ascertain what useful satellite and/ or space missions may be accomplished with the SNAP 2, 8, and 10 power systems within the 1960 to 1970 time period, to delineate useful satellite and/or space missions which would most profitably employ nuclear power sources, to ascertain what restrictions are imposed on various payloads as a result of having a nuclear power system on board, and to investigate the general vehicle integration and installation requirements of the SNAP 2 an… more

Artificial cooling of the Columbia River by dam regulation 1959

Description: An increase in the flow of water from the lower depths of the Grand Coulee Reservoir was used to lower the river temperature at Hanford Atomic Products Operation (HAPO). A net average daily reduction of over 1 C resulted. The average for one day varied from 1.7 to 0.2 C. Before the dam control period, the Bonneville Power Administration transferred load from Grand Coulee Dam to other dams in order to conserve cold water. The authors calculate that there was more value to HAPO from this transfer… more

Automatic Scanning And Measuring Of Bubble Chamber Photographs

Description: The development of high-energy charged particle accelerators such as the Bevatron and of improved nuclear-event detection devices such as the Berkeley 72-in. hydrogen bubble chamber has greatly increased the need for high-speed data reduction of nuclear events. Full exploitation of the potential of the 72-in. bubble chamber demands a very high-speed analysis system. This paper describes an approach to such a system.
