Use of Silicon Surface-Barrier Counters in Fast-Neutron Detection and Spectroscopy

Description: A neutron-sensitive semiconductor counter was constructed by depositing a thin layer of Li/sup 6/F between two silicon surface-barrier counters. Neutrons are detected by observing the alpha + T pair resulting from the Li/sup 6/(n, alpha )T reaction; pulses from the two counters are added, and the sum pulse is amplified and recorded on a multichannel analyzer. Since the sandwich geometry permits simultaneous detection of both reaction products, the magnitude of the resulting sum pulse is proport… more

THERMAL STRESS TESTING OF SM-2 FUEL ELEMENTS. Interim Technical Report for January 1, 1959 to January 1, 1960

Description: Thermal stress testing was performed on two fuel plates, one cut from a brazed SM-1 dummy fuel element and the other from a TIG Welded SM-2 reference element. The test specimens were subjected to transverse temperature differences of up to 200 deg F, and distortion and strain at various locations were measured. The effect of the thermal stress was to increase the amplitude of original distortions. Adddtional distortions due to thermal stress were proportional to temperature differential and to … more

Chemical Engineering Division Summary Report for January, February, March 1960

Description: Chemical-Metalluaical Processing. A direct-cycle fuelreprocessing plant using pyrometallurgical procedures is being designed as part of the Experimental Breeder Reactor No. II project. The reduction of uranium oxide was investigated, using pure Mg and solntions of Mg in Zn and Cd. Cadinium solntions of U were shown to be stable in Types 405 and 410 stainless steel containers at temperatures up to 550 deg C. The liquid metal corrosion loop in which a U-Mg--Cd alloy is being circulated at 550 deg… more

RADIOLOGICAL PHYSICS DIVISION SEMIANNUAL REPORT FOR JULY THROUGH DECEMBER 1959

Description: An investigation of the emission spectrum from radiation-daniaged xylene led to the conclusion that no gross corrections are needed for xylene when used as a scintillation solvent. Data are included from measurements of nonradioactive energy transfer in p-xylene and diphenyloxazole organic scintillation solutions. Measurements were made of the energy resolution of a twinscintillation fast neutron spectrometer. Accurate values of electron drift velocity in purified noble gases and nitrogen were … more

PHYSICS DIVISION SUMMARY REPORT FOR APRIL-MAY 1960

Description: A new method for the determination of the spins of neutron resonances from capture gamma-ray spectra is described. A study of the resonance levels of Na/sup 24/ was completed up to 860 kev. The levels were analyzed up to 630 kev and the distribution of the angular momenta, neutron widths, and level spacings is given. The study of the levels of F/sup 20/, and of lithium (present in the LiF sample), was started wd data were obtained up to 280 kev. The "full" condition of a liquid-nitrogen cold tr… more

Fuel Element Catastrophe Studies Hazards of Fission Product Release From Irradiated Uranium

Description: The rate of reaction of highly irradiated U with air, CO/sub 2/, and steam was studied in sn investigation of the fission product release potential in a loss-of-coolant type accident postulated for Pu-producing reactors. Highly irradiated U was found to be more reactive, probably because of the defects in the oxide coating formed by the inclusion of fission products. Complete oxidation or melting was found to release rare gases, I, and Te semi- quantitatively in most atmospheres. Other fission … more

AN IMPROVED NUCLEAR DENSITY GAUGE. Period covered: September 2 to October 1, 1959

Description: Progress in development of a nuclear density gage for use in thickness and density measurements is reported. A Ross filter system for energy discrimination in the alpha ray region was constructed. Soller slits for collimating the radiation entering and leaving the filters so that a constant absorber thickness is seen by the radiation beam is under construction. Comments by visiting Russian scientists on the density gage and a discussion of their work in this area are included. (J.R.D.)

Winchester Laboratory Quarterly Report: January 1, 1960-March 31, 1960

Description: Three methods for the determination of radium were evaluated. In two methods, the radium is finally precipitated with barium sulfate as carrier and alpha-counted. In the other method, the radium is recovered in a carrierfree condition for alpha counting. A method for determining radium by removing interfering elements with solvent extraction technniques and precipitating the radium with barium sulfate is described. A method which gives a rapid estimation of radium isotopic composition in sample… more
