Beehive and Hornet : Reactor Codes for Spherical Geometry

Description: Abstract: Beehive is a five energy group, two region, time independent spherical reactor code. It considers the problem of reactor system in which the core material is assumed to be at a higher energy (temperature) than the reflector material. The code obtains a closed solution for the critical reactor assembly by a procedure which is a logical extension of normal two group theory. The companion code, Hornet, computes the neutron fluxes for the critical assembly determined by the Beehive calcul… more

A Description of a Shock Wave in Free Particle Hydrodynamics with Internal Magnetic Fields

Description: Abstract: "The structure of an extremely strong magnetohydrodynamic shock is discussed in the limit of no particle collisions. It is tentatively concluded that the shock transition takes place through the mechanism of a strong electric field produced by charge separation. The pressure in the shocked plasma is due primarily to a very high electron temperature. The ions, on the other hand, undergo an irreversible temperature change of only 3."

A High-Current Radio-Frequency Ion Accellerator

Description: Abstract: "A radio-frequency ion accelerator is described which is capable of continuous currents of protons of 250 ma at an energy of 500 kev. The beam is less than 3 in. in diameter and has a divergence of less than 2 degree half angle. Operation of the machine accelerating deuterons to an energy of 1000 kev is also described."
