Fabrication process test evaluation: Shipping, HI-74-SL

Description: The test parts were canned on October 7, 1962 and October 8, 1963. Only six parts, all radiographic rejects, were used for the test instead of 12 parts as originally planned. The original test called for using one very porous and one relatively non-porous sand cast aluminum insert in each container. Shipping experience has shown no significant effect of porosity of inserts on corrosion severity of parts shipped in them. All inserts used were full contour support inserts. Each test part was cann… more

Final report PT IP-513-C recalibration of horizontal control rods at H Reactor

Description: The control rod calibrations in the E-N core loading and in the natural uranium core with an E-N blanket yielded results which indicate that the controls are approximately 10 per cent less effective in an E-N core due to shadowing of the rod strength by the E-N lattice; it had been expected from theoretical, calculations that the E-N shadowing effect would be approximately 10 per cent. The tests thus indicate that there has been approximately 25 per effective rod calibration value since the 195… more

Gamma Ray Efficiencies for Well Type Scintillation Crystals

Description: From Abstract : "Gamma ray efficiencies for various sized well type NaI(Ti) crystals have been calculated using an IBM 704 digital computer. The adjustable parameters in the program are the gamma ray energy, the heights and diameters of the crystal and the well, the thickness of the well lining, and the positions of the (point) source inside the well. Some typical results are presented in graphical form."

Goal exposure for rupture-prone fuel element lots

Description: The loss associated with low goaling rupture-prone material is quite small compared to the benefits. There is an optimum goal exposure for a given metal quality. At this optimum exposure the loss associated with irradiating rupture-prone material is minimized. Reasonable decision rules are as follows: Discharge, at the first opportunity, tubes containing rupture-prone material whose exposures are equal to or greater than 50 percent of normal goal. Discharge tubes under 50 percent of normal goal… more

Hot-Atom Chemistry of the Solid StateL its History, Current Status and Future Prospects viewed in Relation to the Planning of Chemical Research Programs for New Scientific Establishments Centered about a Research Reactor

Description: The History, Current Significance and Status of the Field Hot atom chemistry, like many other fields of scientific research, can trace its origin to a single experiment, that of Szilard and Chalmers, performed in 1934. This is true even though recoil effects had been known and used for a long time. Almost immediately Szilard and Chalmers put their discovery to practical use: they employed the recoil effect in ethyl iodide as a neutron detector and observed the γ,n reaction in beryllium. The ing… more

Long Coil Measurements Satisfy Two-Dimensional Field Equations

Description: The amount by which the field of a magnet bends the path of a charged particle is proportional to the integral of Btds along the trajectory. Instead of making tedious point by point measurements of B in magnets and performing the integrations numerically, it has been found useful to measure directly, by using a search coil whose winding consists of long and narrow turns extending through the magnet gap from z1 and z2 in the direction of the trajectory. It should be noted that the integral Iy is… more

The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond in the Bifluoride Ion

Description: We undertook the present diffraction study of the bifluoride ion in sodium acid fluoride and the present refinement of the earlier data on potassium acid fluoride with the hope of obtaining more accurate information not only on the position of the hydrogen atom, but also on the vibrations of the ion. We felt that it would be through the combination of information on the motions of the system from diffraction and spectroscopic studies that the question of the symmetry of the ion could be settled… more

Neutron Sources - Cross Sections and Angular Distributions

Description: It is appropriate that a conference devoted to the interactions of fast neutrons with nuclei begin with a survey of the available sources of such neutrons. Since its discovery in 1932, the neutron has provided a highly useful tool in attempts to understand the nucleus, and the types of nuclear phenomenon which could be studied and the nature of the results obtained are very dependent on the sources available.

Numerical Solutions for Diffusion in a Sphere, Cylinder, and Plate

Description: In calculating diffusion coefficients for gases diffusing from solids, the numerical solutions tabulated by Darken and Gurry, were found to lack the required precision, and the intervals between the arguments were too great to permit precise interpolations. Consequently the diffusion equation solutions of interest (diffusion from a sphere, cylinder, and plate, for the condition that the concentration of the diffusing species initially uniform) were re-evaluated. Computer programs for the three … more

On the Transfer of Heat to Fluids Flowing Through Pipes, Annuli, and Parallel Plates

Description: Nusselt numbers have been calculated for heat transfer to fluids flowing through annuli under conditions of uniform heat flux and fully established velocity and temperature profiles. The following cases were considered: (a) laminar flow, (b) slug flow, (c) turbulent flow with molecular conduction only, and (d) turbulent flow with both molecular and eddy conduction. These Nusselt numbers were determined for two conditions: heat transfer from the inner wall only and heat transfer from the outer w… more

Personnel Dosimetry of Very High Energy Radiation

Description: Before discussing personnel monitoring of high energy radiations, it is appropriate to comment briefly on two basic methods of dosimetry applicable to such situations. In the first of these methods, one measures the rad dose in air with a tissue-equivalent ionization chamber that is operated with enough voltage on the collecting electrode to insure saturation even when the radiation is concentrated in short pulses, as is frequently the case. The linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum of the radi… more

Reflections on Pools

Description: A pool of material in steady-state turnover is a collection of identical molecules from which deletions are made at a constant rate, along with simultaneous addition of new identical molecules at the same rate, the total pool size remaining unchanged. It is of interest to consider what may be expected in the way of such pools among the various chemical species which can be isolated from biological systems. It is clear what the model requires, i.e. any molecule belonging to the pool must have as… more

Short Time Strength Data for CS 1830 Series Cb-1Zr, Annealed at 2200F

Description: This technical report is a summary of short time strength data for CS1830 series Cb-1Zr material. The data are presented as a function of fabrication history or the amount of cold work received during fabrication. Three fabrication categories were considered for comparison: forgings and extrusions; bar, plate, rod and pipe; and sheet and tubing. Forgings and extrusions having received no cold work showed the highest strength over the entire temperature range 68F to 2800F; bar, plate, rod and pi… more

Structure of HCrO2 and DCrO2

Description: A neutron diffraction study of polycrystalline HCrO2 and DCrO2 (chromous acid) is described. Intensity data from the two substances were refined together by the least-squares method, with the constraint that the Cr-O distance be the same in the two substances. Estimates of individual contributions to multiple peaks were included in the least-squares refinement through the use of a non-diagonal weight matrix. The O-D-O bond is found to be asymmetric, O-D = 0.96 ± 0.04 A, O...O - 2.55 ± 0.02 A. T… more

Theoretical Analysis of the Exponential Experiment in Natural Uranium

Description: Methods of calculating the "Snell Experiment" (the exponential experiment in natural uranium) are examined. It is found that integral transport theory is required for accurate predictions. The effect of spatial transients upon measured quantities is studied and it is found that experiments have not been done in a large enough mass of uranium to achieve an asymptotic neutron distribution. However deviations from the asymptotic values of integral quantities are not large and corrections are calcu… more
