U-Pu-Zr Metal Alloy: a Potential Fuel for LMFBR's

Description: This report critically reviews the available information pertinent to the potential use of uranium-plutonium-zirconium alloy fuels clad with stainless steel in LMFBR's. The areas considered include breeding potential, burnup potential, thermal performance, fuel fabricability, fuel reprocessing, and safety considerations. Because information on uranium-plutonium-zirconium alloys is limited, wide use is made of experience with EBR-II metallic driver fuel to infer advantages and limitations of ura… more

Research and Development Progress Report

Description: "The St. Louis Refinery produced its first UO3 and UO2 in 1942, and its first UF4 and U metal in 1943. The accent has always been on production, and the function of the extremely small research and development groups has been to aid the production units in their job. ... Recently, there has been a growing realization of the need for a broader and more detailed knowledge of both the chemical and technological aspects of all phases of work. ... This is the first of a series of quarterly progress… more

Grain Refinement of Uranium by Alloying

Description: Binary alloys of uranium with 38 elements in the range 0.01 to 1.0 at.% were made. Three alloys having nominal compositions of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 at.% were made with most of the elements, and in addition, 12 ternary and quaternary alloys were made. The alloys were cast, rolled to 7/8-inch-diameter bars, heat treated, and examined for grain size.

Transformations in uranium-base alloys : summary report, December 14, 1955 - March 31, 1957

Description: From abstract: "Transformation kinetics of binary U -Nb and ternary U-Nb-base alloys were investigated. Additions included zirconium, chromium, titanium, silicon, nickel, nnthenium, and vanadium. Encapsulated samples were given a homogenizstion anneal at 1000 or 1100/sup o/C, water-quenched from 906/sup o/C to retain the phase, and reheated to temperatures between 360 and 600/sup o/C. The metastability of the phase was examined by metallographic, hardness, resistometric, dilatometric and x-ray-… more

Fabrication of Spherical Particles

Description: Several techniques for preparation of spherical particles were tried. Of the methods examined, the spray gun, with argon blast substituted for air, gave the most positive results. Primary objection to this method being the large variety of particle sized obtained and the need for wire stock. Any one of several other methods investigated might give satisfactory results upon further work or possible with alloy combinations other than Cu-U, Ni-U, and Mo-U which were used.

Summary Report: AEC Reference Fuel-Processing Plant

Description: From introduction: The primary purpose of this report is to record the bases chosen in setting the Commission's policy on processing charges to assure that individual charges are on a consistent basis in conformance with the policy. Secondly, it may aid reactor operators in estimating the AEC processing charges for a variety of fuels and reactor conditions. It may also be of interest to potential chemical processors by showing the approach followed in developing these charges.

The Uranium-Rhenium Alloy System

Description: Abstract The phase diagram of the uranium-rhenium alloy system is presented along with a discussion on transformation kinetics of the uranium solid solutions. The phase diagram is of the double eutectic type with the intermediate phase having the composition URe2. This phase exhibits allotropy at 180°C and melts congruently at 2200°C. URe2 reacts sluggishly with the uranium solid solutions below 750°C to form the peritectoid compound U2Re. Eutectic reactions occur at 1105° and 2105°C at respec… more

The Uranium-Titanium Alloy System

Description: Abstract: "A uranium-titanium constitution diagram is presented. There is complete solid solubility between titanium and gamma uranium above about 2100 F. Only one compound exists in the system. It has a hexagonal structure based on U2Ti. It has a fairly wide range of stability, particularly on the titanium side. Beta-titanium solid solution decomposes eutectoidally into alpha titanium and compound at 1150 F. Eutectoid composition is about 72 atomic per cent titanium. Gamma-uranium solid soluti… more

The Uranium-Cobalt System

Description: Abstract: "A phase diagram for the uranium-cobalt system has been constructed, based on thermal, microscopic, X-ray and chemical data. The results indicate the existence of three compounds and two eutectics, one of which shows a lowering of the melting point of uranium by approximately 400 C."

The Vanadium-Uranium Constitutional Diagram

Description: Abstract: "Vanadium-uranium equilibrium studies were made on alloys prepared from high-purity vanadium and good biscuit uranium. No intermetallic phases occur in the system. Additions of vanadium lover the uranium melting point and transformations producing a eutectic at 1240 +/- 5 C and eutectoid reactions at 727 +/- 5 and 652 +/- 5 C. The maximum solubility of uranium in vanadium is about 4 atomic per cent (15 weight per cent)."

Transformation Characteristics of Low Ternary Alloys of Uranium

Description: Abstract: "A series of ternary additions of niobium, platinum, and molybdenum, of the order of 1.0 w/o and less, have been made to binary uranium - 0.5 w/o titanium, an alloy of some promise in the 7-heat-treated, water-quenched condition. Jominy bars of nine such alloys were tested, microstructurally examined, and hardness profiles obtained over their length. This paper deals with observations made for correlation of transformation behavior, microstructure, and hardness profiles over the spec… more
