Diffusion Kinetics Studies in the Al-Ni-U System

Description: A diffusion couple technique was developed and standardized for the purpose of obtaining meaningful data regarding the diffusion kinetics of the Al-- Ni--U system. The technique entailed hot pressing under a dynamic vacuum and subsequent isothermal soaking treatments within evacuated quartz tubes for periods of 10 to 7000 hr at temperatures of 850, 750, 850, andd 950 deg F. In addition, the nickel barrier bond between Type 1100 aluminum cladding and cast U- 3.5% Mo fuel alloy was metallographic… more

Flow Controller Evaluation for Sodium Service

Description: Tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of a 10-in. flow controller in sodium at temperatures up to 1200 deg F. Torque tube reliability was determined by extensive mechanical cycling tests and further checking with a helium mass-spectrometer leak detector. Flow control performance and valve vibration characteristics were tested and evaluated and flow rate limits were established. The valve assembly was subjected to a thermal shock test program simulated to represent the most severe con… more

MOUND LABORATORY PROGRESS REPORT FOR NOVEMBER, 1963

Description: As a part of the effort to establish the vapor pressure of /sup 3/He as the international temperature scale between 0.3 and 3.2 deg K, the manometric contections from /sup 4/He to /sup 3/He are being determined. The results of a single run did not agree with the predicted values. Calculations indicated that a two to one thermal diffusion column cascade is more efficient than a three to one cascade for separation of neon isotopes. Gaseous impurities in neon were reduced from 3.40 to 0.26% by pas… more

Aerospace Safety Re-Entry Analytical and Experimental Program, SNAP 2 and 10A (Interim Report)

Description: Before a reactor is launched into a satellite orbit about the Earth, the hazards to the population must necessarily be considered in the event that the reactor re-enters the Earth' s atmosphere and possibly impacts with the ground. Analytical and experimental efforts for calculating these potential hazards as they apply to SNAP-2 and -10A are described. (auth)

Mound Laboratory Progress Report for September 1963

Description: Three silicone-based conductive adhesives were formulated and evaluated. One of the formulations had a resistivity of 0.089 ohm-centimeter after aging one week. After the same period the other two formulations had resistivities of 0.871 and 38.0 ohm-centimeters, Erratic adsorptive behavior of / sup 140/Ba was traced to in impurity in the Ba--/sup 140/La stock solution. Repurification by cation exchange did not improve the reproducibility of the separations, possibly because impurities are reint… more
