The Applicability of Packed Glass Raschig Rings For Nuclear Safety In Large Vessels

Description: Simple calculations indicate that large diameter vessels packed with boron-containing glass raschig rings are applicable for storage of high concentration solutions of fissile material. Use of this means for storage of fissile solutions can result in appreciable savings. Advantages and disadvantages are discussed and tests are enumerated that must be made to confirm the applicability of glass raschig rings as a fixed poison.

Feasibility Tests - Electrolytic Dissolution of Perforated Zircaloy-2 Screens

Description: The intent of the program described in this report was to develop a method of removal of the core screens of the HRT.

Air Diffusion in the Air Operating Water Flask. Section I. Test Results DL-S-205 (T-641110)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the effect of continuous air pressurization of the Valve Operating System water flask on the the oxygen concentration of the water in the flask. Oxygen concentration in the Valve Operating System water flask increased during the testing period of seventeen days. It cannot be determined from the data obtained if equilibrium oxygen concentration was reached. The distribution of oxygen in the flask at the end of 17 days varied from approximately 12 ppm in t… more

A 704 Program for Computing Thermal Neutron Spectra in Infinite Homogenous Media

Description: A flexible program has been prepared for solution of the neutron balance equation in an infinite homogeneous medium. This program is specifically designed for studying the effects of varying the energy transfer kernel on the resultant neutron spectrum. A rapidly converging iterative procedure is employed. The equation to be solved and the specific input information required by the program in order to compute spectra are explicitly stated. No discussion of the physics of the problem is given.

Scavenging of Particulate Matter in Connection with Nuclear-Powered Ships. Report No. 1 (Scientific Report). Theoretical Dissertation on Diffusion and Deposition of Radioactive Particulate Matters in Connection with Nuclear Powered Ships. Appendix B. Graphs of Shape Variables as a Function of Diffusion Parameters and Velocity of Deposition

Description: The behavior of the cloud formed by finely divided radioactive matter released from a nuclear-powered ship is discussed. Sutton's equation, with Chamberlain's correction for deposition, is used for four sets of parameters. The results calculated by using the IBM-650 computer are presented in a series of 76 graphs. Wind velocities of 5, 10, and 15 mph and velocities of deposition equal to 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 cm/sec were used in computation. The ranges of the B/C and Q/R parameters are 10/sup … more

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section III. Second Performance. Test Results DL-S-184, T-612076

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the rate of radioactive decay of the hairpin loops after isolation and to determine the changes in radiation level resulting from continued operation of the reactor at power. The results indicate that the radiation decayed very rapidly after isolation of the hairpin loop. After one minute, the level had decayed to nearly its lowest point. Discrepancies which appear in the data can be attributed to two factors: (1) changing the survey meter part way thro… more

The System Zirconium-Iron-Tin. Status Report No. 4 for July 1, 1957- March 31, 1958

Description: A study of the solubility limits of iron and tin in alpha zirconium at temperatures below 500 deg C is in progress. Dilute alloys were prepared by arc- melting using the highest purity materials. Heat treatment of the alloys involves homogenization at 800 deg C followed by severe cold work prior to extended anneals at temperatures between 200 and 500 deg C in 50-degree intervals. Metallographic examination of annealed and quenched structures is the primary mode of investigation. Some magnetic s… more

Zircex Uranium Sublimate Loss

Description: "One of the limitations of the Zircex Process is the large percentage loss of U which is carried off with the volatile ZrCl/sub 4/. Since the ratio of U to Zr in the fuel element is quite small (< 1%), a large percentage of U loss can be caused by small amounts of U in the ZrCl/sub 4/ sublimate. The U loss must be kept below 1% if the Zircex Process is to be adapted to industrial scale processing."

Forced Convection Heat Transfer to Slurries in Tubes

Description: An analysis has been made in order to predict the heat transfer coeffect for slurries flowing in tubes. For the laminar flow of a slurry the coefficient of heat transfer from the tube wall to the slurry may be predicted by the following equations: [equation]. Heat loss data for the turbulent flow of slurries indicated that they behave as true fluids with a constant "turbulent" viscosity which may be determined experimentally. If this behavior is real rather than apparent the heat transfer coeff… more
