Semiautomatic MDF deburring tool. [Mild detonating fuse]

Description: A device for semiautomatically deburring the ends of lengths of MDF (mild detonating fuse) was developed by the Automation Development group at Mound Laboratory. The device performs the deburring function by cutting a 0.002 in. x 0.002 in. chamfer on the MDF with small rotating blades. This air-operated, semiautomatic device provides improvement over the manual method of removing burrs by reduction in time and operator strain. A time study is underway to determine the time saved which is expect… more

Gamma scanning the primary circuit of the Peach Bottom HTGR

Description: The plateout distribution of gamma-emitting nuclides in the primary circuit of the Peach Bottom HTGR at end-of-life has been determined by in situ gamma scanning. The specific activity was mapped by scanning the accessible ducting at 12 locations with a Ge(Li) detector and by axially traversing 79 steam generator tubes with travelling CdTe detectors from the water side. Following destructive removal of trepan samples, a travelling intrinsic germanium detector was inserted sequentially into two … more

An analysis of the finite-differenced, even-parity discrete-ordinates equations in slab geometry

Description: Considerable effort has been expended in recent years in finding improved spatial differencing schemes for the neutron and radiation transport equations. Standard criteria used to select a candidate scheme are its order of spatial convergence for small mesh size and its positivity in the sense that positive solutions emerge from positive input data. More recently, it has become clear that truly robust schemes must behave well in diffusing regions and must be compatible with an effective iterati… more

Effect of the relative humidity in test atmospheres on uranium--0. 75% titanium and uranium--2. 25% niobium alloys

Description: Tensile tests of uranium--0.75 percent titanium and uranium--2.25 percent niobium alloys showed decreased ductility values with an increased humidity of the test atmosphere (12 to 80 percent rh). Similar results were obtained when the specimens were coated with a commercial rust preventive prior to testing. Results show that testing of the alloys should not be performed in laboratory atmospheres above a 50 percent relative humidity. The tensile-test ductility was not degraded in a dry argon atm… more
