Re-entry Flight Demonstration Number One (RFD-1): Atmospheric Sciences Support

Description: Abstract: Data from the atmospheric sciences support systems for RFD-1 on May 22, 1963, at Bermuda Island, are presented. These data were taken for purposes of later analysis of the ballistic performance of the re-entry vehicle and of the heat transfer mechanisms within it, and for studies of the motion of ablated particles in the atmosphere.

Fabrication of hot die sized Diffusion Bonded Fuel Elements for Supplement ``A`` to Production Test IP-546-A

Description: Production Test IP-546-A. consisting of 20 charges for the purpose of irradiating the first hot die sized fuel elements was charged in C-Reactor July 27, 1963. A second tests PT-IP-616-A containing a total of 19 charges had been charged on two separate outages; 13 land 6 tubes on September 28, 1963 and October 30, 1963, respectively. Fabrication of test quantities was becoming more routine and additional irradiation tests were planned. This report summarizes the fabrication of hot die sized fue… more

Research and Engineering, N-Reactor Department monthly record report

Description: During the major part of October the N-Reactor was shut down for dump condenser repair, scheduled maintenance and equipment modifications. Work on dump condensers was successfully completed and the construction and tie-in of steam generator cell No. 4 was accomplished. Power ascension was initiated on October 24 and the N-Reactor in now operating with all five steam generator cells in full service. Process physics, in-plant testing, and technical activities are described in this document.

Hanford contribution for the nineteenth high temperature fuels committee meeting, November 16, 17, 18, 1964, Los Angeles, California

Description: The irradiation performance of Zircaloy-2 clad thorium-uranium fuel elements under water-cooled power reactor conditions continues to be excellent. Fuel swelling continues to be no more than that required to accommodate the fission product atoms. Measured fuel swelling is less than one percent at 3.1 {times} 10{sup 20} fissions/cc (9,300 MWD/T). The addition of iron and aluminum to metallic uranium fuel elements has been shown to markedly decrease fuel swelling. The improved swelling performanc… more

Fabrication of enriched hot die sized diffusion bonded fuel elements for Production Test IP-616-A

Description: Hot die sizing (HDS) is a process being investigated to replace the existing AlSi brazing process. Hot die sizing consists of sizing a nickel-plated core and aluminum can assembly with cold dies to produce a diffusion bonded aluminum clad fuel element. Upon completion of fabrication of the first natural uranium hot die sized fuel elements for production test IP-546-A, the next step in evaluation of the process was to assemble enriched fuel for further irradiation testing. This report summarizes… more
