Status report of irradiated NPR fuel element rupture studies in the IRP

Description: The Irradiated Rupture Prototype (IRP) has been used for rupture testing irradiated NPR prototype fuel elements. Most of the tests have been made to determine the rupture effect of different reactor exposures, fuel element geometries and water cooldown rates following the start of the rupture. This report summarizes the results obtained to date, mentions where information is lacking and gives further tests scheduled for the IRP.

Empirical plutonium constants 7090 program

Description: The current-revision of the Process Optimization Program contains two empirical plutonium-exposure expressions. One relates total Pu conversion to exposure and the other, Pu-240 buildup to exposure. The former was incorporated to save computer time and the latter to provide product quality data. Both of these relationships, in addition to a third which relates Pu-241 buildup to exposure, are used in PULP-3, the data generator for LP-90. EMCON-3, a 7090 computer program which determines arbitrar… more

Tritium Production Horizontal Control Rods

Description: This document outlines preliminary questions related to the study of producing small amounts of by-product tritium in selected control rods at the Hanford reactors. A list of questions to be forwarded to personnel at the Savannah River Plant is given. The questions pertain to the cost per pound of lithium-aluminum alloy enriched with Li{sup 0}, the extraction cost per gram of tritium, and the maximum element size which can be processed without substantially changing the configuration of the ext… more

BEAM EXPERIMENTS WITH THE MURA 50 Mev FFAG ACCELERATOR

Description: Experiments on betatron oscillation frequency, beam life times, multiturn injection, longitudinal bunching, acceleration through the transition energy, energy spread in the accelerated beam, beam stacking procedures, effects of clearing neutralizing ions away from the stacked beam, and instability of the stacked beam are reported. (D.C.W.)

Design Studies of Proton Linear Accelerators

Description: The use of digital computational techniques in the design of a 200-Mev standing-wave proton linear accelerator for use as an injector for a 12.5 Bev FFAG accelerator is described. A field computational program that permitted evaluation (optimization) of the r-f structure cost for a given accelerator design is described, and typical results are shown. A particle dynamics program is also described (D.C.W.)

A Liquid-Hydrogen Cerenkov Counter

Description: Two models of a liquid-hydrogen (?-illegible) Cherenkov counter (illegible) been constructed (illegible). The first served as a prototype (?-illegible) and was (illegible) to demonstrate the feasibility (?-illegible) of the (illegible) concept (?-illegible) (illegible) liquid hydrogen does not give scintillation (?-illegible) (illegible) that of Cherenkov light. The second, final version (?-illegible), (illegible) in an experiment (?-illegible) in which particles brought to rest (?-illegible) (… more

Trimethyllactamide

Description: Technical report. From "3. Methods of Preparation" : "Pivadehyde cyanohydrin can be prepared by the reaction of pivadehyde with anhydrous HCN2 or by the sodium bisulfite process. Trimethyllactamide can be prepared by hydrolysis of pivaldehyde cyanohydrin with cold concentrated sulfuric acid. The procedure described here differs in the scale of preparation an in the use of cold fusing hydrochloric acid for hydrolizing the cyanohydrin."

Measurement of the Rate for n" + He3 - H3 + [v]

Description: Measurement rate has been made using a high pressure, He3 filled, gas scintillation counter as the target for stopping muons. The counter is well suited to the problem since it allows for clean separation of the 1.9 MeV triton recoils and muon decay electrons, which are 300 times more numerous. The tritons, because of their short range, are detected with close to 100% efficiency, whereas the energy lost in the counter by the minimum ionizing electrons is less than 0.8 MeV in all cases. Furthe… more

Code Listings for the Floss III - Compatible Programs Including Floss Type 3 and Type 12, Nomac, and Dash N

Description: FLOSS III is a third-generation version of a digital computer program which solves a one-dimensional difference representation of the momentum, energy, continuity, and state equations for turbulent, compressible gas flow in equivalent hydraulic channels. Extensive use of this program has been employed in the design and performance analyses of Pluto-type nuclear heat exchangers, and in the specific case of the Tory II-A test series, agreement was obtained to better than 5% for all experimentally… more

Recovery of U from Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated UC2 Spheroids

Description: 100% recovery of uranium from pyrolytic carbon-coated spheroids of uranium dicarbide has been accomplished by an aqueous electrolytic process at the small scale laboratory level. This result was obtained in a system which circulated 1 molar nitric acid through a thin bed of the spheres. The bed was supported between a glass frit and the anode, with which the bed was in contact. The anode was a spiral of platinum wire; the cathode was a grid of titanium wire. Current density was about 0.2 amp/cm… more
