P Division monthly report, September 1949

Description: This progress report discusses the activities of the P Division for the month of September, 1949. The B and F piles operated at 275 megawatts (MW) and the D pile at 305 MW throughout the month except for cutages listed under Area Activities. A total of 60.22 tons of metal, at an average concentration of 396 megawatt days/ton (MWD/ton) was discharged from the piles during the month. The 105-H Building was accepted from the Construction Division on September 28 with certain exceptions noted under… more

Compilation of data on 51 ruptured slugs

Description: The following tabulation includes information on all uranium slug failures which have occurred through September 26, 1951. The four suspect slugs which are listed were discharged from tubes which gave strong indication of containing ruptures. Although no obvious rupture could be found among the slugs from these tubes, the listed pieces exhibited defects which may be incipient ruptures.

Vernatherm functional test, Test Project No. 14

Description: The Vernatherm unit is a temperature sensitive capsule which translates temperature change to mechanical movement of a brass plunger. A change in phase of a hydrocarbon contained in a cylinder caused by temperature change, causes movement of the brass plunger. The units are available for various temperature ranges. The adaptation considered was to monitor the outlet water temperature from individual process tubes in the ``G`` pile. The purpose of the test was to determine the magnitude of error… more

Travel to Battelle Memorial Institute. Trip report, September 17, 24, and October 8, 1953

Description: This report gives a brief summary of work at Battelle in support of Savannah River reactor fuel elements. Barrier effectiveness tests show that 0.2 mil nickel is a minimum for diffusion barrier application. Successful bonds by roll cladding with an electrodeposited nickel bond layer have been produced without deformation of 1 inch x 1 inch x 0.180 inch cores. Deformation of core versus pack has been established for several conditions of core dimension and rolling schedule. Apparatus for a criti… more

Radiation damage study on the lithium hydride SNAP shield

Description: Radiation damage may occur to the lithium hydride shields as a result of the reaction Li{sup 6}(n, {alpha})H{sup 3}. There is evidence in the literature indicating both the existence and absence of radiation damage to the SNAP shields. It is believed that there is a high probability that there will be damage and that it will adversely affect the properties of the shield. This damage may take the form of: (1) volume expansion of the hybrids, (2) void formation within the hybrids, and (3) gas pre… more

Design criteria for phase II dummy hydraulic core for containment systems experiment reactor simulator

Description: The design of a Phase II dummy hydraulic core for the CSE reactor simulator is described. The core will be a scale model having features typical of PWR or BWR reactor cores, and will include control rods and associated support mechanisms, fuel elements, a thermal shield, top and bottom core guide and support plates, and flow baffles. The core and simulator vessel will be instrumented to provide measurement of temperature, static and differential pressures, forces on core components, and rarefac… more

Tensile and stress rupture tests of S8DR Hastelloy-N heats: ORNL verification tests

Description: In connection with the ORR Hastelloy-N irradiation experiments, a limited number of tensile tests and uniaxial and biaxial stress-rupture tests on S8DR Hastelloy-N heats were conducted at AI to determine the effect of some of the ORNL test conditions. The tests performed at AI were in parallel to the ORNL control tests. The results showed that the effect of the test condition variations between the two tests were generally insignificant. The effect of the test conditions is discussed.
