A Program of FRC Theory Research Annual Report

Description: At the request of the Office of Fusion Energy, a group of experts was convened on February 6--8, 1990. This group met to assess the world data base on Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) physics, and, further, to assess the role of the ZTH experiment in providing reactor relevant physics understanding for that confinement geometry. This group met, analyzed some of the relevant literature, and heard extensive presentations on the physics of the RFP and the plans for the ZTH and RFX devices. The conclusio… more

CALCULATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF REFRACTORY-METAL COMPONENTS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN VACUUM

Description: Equations based on kinetic theory relate the contamination of refractory metals in vacuum to the appropriate variables. Several examples are given for which the allowable system pressures are calculated. The examples illustrate the effect of varying several parameters. The importance of the sticking factor for active gases on hot refractory metals and its effect on the system design are discussed. The data for estimating the sticking factor for O/sub 2/ on Nb are given, along with some estimate… more

Gas chromatographic studies of the relative retention of the sulfur isotopes in carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, and sulfur dioxide

Description: A precision gas chromatograph, coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer and an on-line computer, was used to study the fractionation on Porasil A of the /sup 32/S//sup 34/S isotopic pair in a variety of sulfur-containing molecules. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) yielded an average ..cap alpha.. value of 1.00074 +- 0.00017 (standard deviation) for the temperature range 25/sup 0/C to 75/sup 0/C. The carbon disulfide (CS/sub 2/) value was 1.00069 +- 0.00023 for the range 53/sup 0/C to 103/sup 0/C, and th… more

Analysis of LOFT pressurizer spray and surge nozzles to include a 450/sup 0/F step transient

Description: This report presents the analysis of the LOFT pressurizer spray and surge nozzles to include a 450/sup 0/F step thermal transient. Previous analysis performed under subcontract by Basic Technology Incorporated was utilized where applicable. The SAASIII finite element computer program was used to determine stress distributions in the nozzles due to the step transient. Computer results were then incorporated in the necessary additional calculations to ascertain that stress limitations were not ex… more

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report

Description: The study of the mechanism of free-radical formation and decay in polymeric materials was continued and extended to include an investigation of the potential application of this information to the development of novel graft copolymers. The study of postirradiation grafting techniques employing both peroxide initiation and direct grafting was continued. In addition, the effect of molecular weight on site formation was further investigated. Licenses and license applications for approximately 300 … more

Calculation and Measurement of the Transient Temperature in a Low- Enrichment UO$sub 2$ Fuel Rod During Large Power Excursions

Description: The results of Spert I in-pile transient tests of a rodtype, low- enrichment UO/sub 2/ fuel element are presented. The tests were performed to investigate the possibility of damage to such long thermal-time-constant fuel rods when subjected to short-period power excursions, and to test the effectiveness of an instrumentation technique for measurement of UO/sub 2/ fuel temperatures within the rods. In an initial series of power excursion tests, in which the range of reactor periods was from appr… more

THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR BeO IRAADIATION EXPERIMENTS ORNL 41-8 AND ORNL 41-9

Description: The experimental plan for irradiating BeO pellets in Experiments ORNL 41- 8 and ORNL 41-9 was chosen in accordance with the principles of experimental design. The design is known by statisticians as a 2/sup 5/ factorial experiment confound'' in six replications. Five variables---size, density, grain size, temperature and time--are controlled at two levels to form the basic 2i factorial experiment. The sixth variable, neutron flux, is introduced by confounding on higher-order interactions. An ex… more
