Peaceful uses of fusion

Description: Applications a thermonuclear energy for peaceful and constructive purposes are surveyed. Developments and problems in the release and control of fusion energy are reviewed. It is pointed out that the future of thermonuclear power reactors will depend upon the construction of a machine that produces more electric energy than it consumes. The fuel for thermonuclear reactors is cheap and practically inexhaustible. Thermonuclear reactors produce less dangerous radioactive materials than fission rea… more

AIR CORE CRYOGENIC MAGNET COILS FOR FUSION RESEARCH AND HIGH ENERGY NUCLEAR PHYSICIS APPLICATIONS

Description: It is shown that cryogenic techniques offer the possibility of substantially improving the efficiency and practicality of generating high magnetic fields in air-core coils of large size. Over-all reductions in power requirements of as high as 25, by comparison with conventional coils, are predicted, provided high purity conductors and efficient refrigeration cycles are used. (W.D.M.)

END-LOSSES FROM MIRROR MACHINES

Description: A theoretical treatment of the loss of plasmas from the ends of magnetic mirror machines, based on the FokkerPlanck equation is given. The plasma losses are described in terms of the evolution in time of distribution functions. Some supplementary calculations based on these distribution functions were made. These include charge-exchangereaction rates and fusion-reaction rates for the DD and DT reactions. (auth)

CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIOACTIVITY PRODUCED BY NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVES

Description: The amounts and kinds of radioactivities produced by detonation of a nuclear explosive are dependent upon the specific design of the explosive. The two design extremes are a pure fission device, which will produce about 1.4 x 10/ sup 23/ fissions, and therefore about 2.8 x 10/sup 23/ fission products, per kiloton of energy released, and a pure thermonuclear device which would produce no fission products, but would produce approximately 10/sup 23/ atoms of tritium per kiloton. In both cases, int… more

Equations of State for Evolution Studies of Supernovae

Description: Tables of the energy, pressure, and chemical composition for a stellar mixture, originally a pure Fe/sup 56/, are presented as functions of temperature and density. They cover a range of conditions pertinent to the evolution of supernovae, involving the deconiposition of iron into helium plus neutrons, and the later stage of decomposition of helium into neutrons and protons. Relativistic degeneracy of electrons is included in these calculations. (auth)

Atomic and molecular collision cross sections of interest in controlled thermonuclear research

Description: A graphical compilation is presented of atomic and molecular cross sections of interest to controlled thermonuclear research. The cross sections are shown, as a function of energy, for collision processes involving molecular ion dissociation, charge exchange, excitation, ionization, photoionization, scattering, energy loss, and recombination. Pertinent nuclear cross sections are also included. A bibliography is given covering the literature since 1950. (auth)

Heat-Shielded Magnetically Channeled Plasma Heat Converter

Description: A design for a thermionic converter is described which utilizes a permeable heat shield and a homogeneous magnetic field normal to the cathode and anode surfaces to minimize the radiant power loss without appreciably decreasing the electrical power output. The permeable heat shield consists of thin, close- spaced foils perpendicular to the cathode and anode surfaces. Radiant power transfer is expressed as a function of the spectral emissivities of the cathode and anode surfaces and the interfoi… more

NEUTRON PHYSICS DIVISION ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 1, 1961

Description: Fifty-seven papers and l7 abstracts of papers are presented in the report. Fifty two of the papers are abstracted separately; in addition, a single abstract is written to cover the section on Plasma Physics Theory, which contains 3 papers and 8 abstracts of papers. The two brief papers not abstracted separately are concerned with fast neutron detection, and homogeneous critical assemblies of 3%enriched UF/sub 4/-paraffin systems. (T.F.H.)

SNAP Radioisotope Space Programs Task 7. Quarterly Progress Report No. 7, April 1 Through June 30, 1961

Description: Safety analyses of the launch of SNAP-type units as to launch, ascent, and intermediate or final-stage failures are reported. A preliminary design study to define the configuration and performance of the Surveyor generator is completed. Dispersion patterns are found for radioactive materials released by the high-velocity vertical impact of Surveyor-type generators on the moon. High- velocity testing methods are discussed. Flare and telemetry capsules, designed to simulate fuel cores of nuclear … more

NUCLEAR AEROSPACE SAFETY PROBLEMS

Description: Safety problems that have arisen in the conquest of space and are of a nuclear origin are discussed. Space radiation such as cosmic radiation, geomagnetically trapped corpuscular radiation, and solar flare radiation and radiations inherent in nuclear auxilliary power systems are considered. Problems created by the use of nuclear propulsion systems are emphasized. Launch pad problems and core disposal are discussed (M.C.G.)

SNAP Radioisotope Space Programs. Quarterly Progress Report No. 8, Task 7, July 1 Through September 30, 1961

Description: Activities in a program devoted to the safety evaluation of isotopic power systems in space applications are reported. In the study of upper atmosphere re-entry, flare and telemetry test capsules were completed for scheduled re-entry tests. The altitude of re-entry burn-through for all phase I and II test capsules and nose cone-vehicle-pod relative position data were determined. These data were used in determining the optimum positions and headings for the optical and optical-telemetry aircraft… more
