FLUX DISTRIBUTIONS AND LEAKAGE CURRENTS FOR SRE, P-16

Description: BS>Two-group, two-region criticality calculations were made for 10 and 11 ft diameter tanks. The 10 ft tank required a core radius of 102 cm and the 11 ft tank a core radius of 95 cm for criticality. In the calculations, the fluxes were assumed to go to zero at the edge oi the graphite reflector. The fast group of the two-group calculation was broken down into 3 fast groups. The leakage out of the core and reflector for the 4 energy groups is given. (M.C.G.)

Sodium Graphite Reactor. Quarterly Progress Report, July-September 1954

Description: Technology of the Sodium Graphite Reactor. Reactivity calculations were made to study the application of steadystate plutonium feedback techniques to the use of diffusion plant tails for reactor fuel feed material. The performance and design of a twin core SGR power plant are given. Thermal neutron flux distribution measurements are reported for a six-rod fuel cluster and for a hollow uranium rod. A power cost calculation was made for a 1000-Mw SGR Th-U/sup 233/ breeder reactor which starts up … more

Slug and tube factors

Description: A common and useful assumption is that the front-to-rear power distribution is a shortened cosine curve. This fact led to the calculation of slug factors'' for the longer charges to be used at K-Pile. It is hoped that the publication of these numbers will save time and prevent duplication of effort by those concerned in any way with slug power, surface temperatures, reactivity effects, etc. For the sake of completeness, slug factors for the older piles are included. Another useful ideal is that… more

100 Area process improvement program for the period November 1954--April 1955

Description: This is the second of a series of documents issued quarterly. The documents present, for critical examination by management and for the information of related groups, that portion of the future 100 Area technical program which relates directly and more or less immediately to the Technical-Manufacturing efforts to increase both power levels and production. An attempt is made to describe and justify the key production tests planned for the following six month period. Only those tests necessary fo… more

REACTOR ENGINEERING DIVISION QUARTERLY REPORT FOR PERIOD JULY 1, 1954 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1954

Description: Reactor Programs. The design of the Boiling Experimental Reactor is described. The Borax-1 reactor was intentionally destroyed by suddenly adding 4% excess reactivity. Design of the Borax-II reactor is described. It will be used for studies of transient behavior and steadystate operation as a steam producer. A preliminary design configuration has been established in EBR-II employing central, inner, and outer blankets. Fuel geometries including a smaller pin-type element are being investigated. … more

THEORY OF MULTIPLE COULOMB SCATTERING FROM EXTENDED NUCLEI

Description: Two independent methods are described for calculating the multiple scattering distribution for projected angle scattering resulting when very high energy charged particles traverse a thick scatterer. The single scattering law for projected angle scattering is taken to be the Rutherford scattering law for projected angle scattering modified at small angles by electron shielding and at large angles by a nuclear form factor F{sub n}({phi}/{phi}{sub o}) which gives the effect of the finite nuclear … more

Flight-Determined Pressure Measurements Over the Wing of the Douglas D-558-II Research Airplane at Mach Numbers Up to 1.14

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the section and panel characteristics and loads obtained from pressure measurements over a 35 degree sweptback wing at level-flight lifts for a range of Mach numbers. Section pressure distributions were taken at the root, midspan, and tip stations of a Douglas D-558-II airplane.
