Improved resonance reaction rate calculation for lattice physics subsystem

Description: The resonance capture calculations of the HAMMER System and HAMBUR System are derived from a consistent statement of the integral slowing down equation and definitions of the resonance integral. The assumptions made in these treatments are explicitly stated, and and an attempt is made to estimate the possible error in the resonance integral arising from these assumptions. This analysis is made to pin-point those parts of the calculation that can be improved and updated. Based on the analysis of… more

Determination of threshold velocities and correlation of high-frequency endurance limits for LMFBR heat-exchanger materials

Description: Jet impact erosion tests and high frequency fatigue tests were conducted for 2-1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel. Utilizing the relationship between the velocity of impact and number of impacts to produce visible erosion, the threshold velocities were determined as 220 and 140 fps at 10/sup 7/ and 10/sup 8/ cycles respectively. The relationship between the high frequency fatigue strength and the number of cycles to failure was determined at room temperature up to a maximum of 10/sup 9/ cycles. The high frequen… more

1-1/2-Loop Semiscale Isothermal Test Program: Program and System Description in Support of Experiment Data Reports.

Description: The isothermal test series is part of the Semiscale Blowdown and Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) Project conducted by Aerojet Nuclear Company for the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The test series consisted of ten blowdown tests and five hot-wall tests with emphasis on emergency core coolant delivery. The blowdown tests were conducted to investigate the effects of lower plenum geometry, heat transfer configuration, ECC injection location, downcomer gap size, and break size.

Technique for environmental decision making using quantified social and aesthetic values

Description: A four-phase study was designed for the evaluation of social, economic and environmental tradeoffs in the analysis of nuclear power plant siting options. The results of the first phase of this work are reported. This phase included: examination of environmental statements and guidelines and intervenors' statements to determine the aignificant criteria to be analyzed; development of a questionnaire with design options for two chosen sites; the answering of the questionnaire by environmentalists,… more

Causes of the yield-point phenomenon in commercial beryllium products

Description: The variables of iron content, texture, and grain size are studied as a function of solutionizing, aging, and strain-aging heat treatments. Results show that the yield point is caused by precipitate pinning. Furthermore, precipitation is enhanced by pre-strain, which can be introduced by elevated- temperature working, rapid cooling, or tensile elongation at room temperature. Aging is effective between 400 and 760 deg C, depending on the type of pre- strain, iron content, and texture. Cottrell-t… more

High-Pressure Mechanical Properties of Kayenta Sandstone

Description: Pressure-volume, uniaxial strain loading, uniaxial stress loading to failure, and ultrasoric velocity detemninations have been performed on samples of Kayenta sandstone from the site of the Mixed Company event. Hydrostatic pressure of 3 GPa produces about 23% volume compression, with 9% permanent compaction remaining upon unloading. The pressure-volume data indicate that crush-up of porosity begins between 200 and 300 MPa. In uniaxial strain loading, the sandstone loads directly to the vicinity… more

Conceptual design of a coring Subterrene Geoprospector

Description: A rock-melting Subterrene system is described that can obtain a continuous core along the projected route of a tunnel. System specifications, individual component functions, preliminary design concepts, and design alternatives are included; and subcomponents that can be assembled from commercially available hardware are indicated. The device requires 150 kW of electric power to melt an accurate 300-mm (1-ft)-dia glass-lined hole and removes a 200-mm (8-in.)-dia glass-cased core at an advance ra… more

Multiple scattering enhancement of x rays

Description: A Monte Carlo calculation is described for the determination of the contribution of multiple scattering to x rays scattered at 90 deg in various thicknesses of beryllium and carbon plates. The plates are inclined at an angle of 45 deg to the incident radiation. The photon energy range considered is 1 keV to 100 keV. Scatterer thicknesses range from 0.0046 g/cm/sup 2/ to 1.204 g/ cm/sup 2/. Two sets of results are given: one from a formulation neglecting the polarization, the other including pol… more

Effect of particle size on the carrier--distillation analysis of PuO$sub 2$

Description: Sample particle size is one of the parameters that must be controlled to ensure the similarity of samples and standards necessary for reliable spectrochemical analysis. ln spectrochemical carrier-distillation analysis of PuO/ sub 2/, significantly greater intensities are obtained from the impurity elements when the particle size of the PuO/sub 2/ is 45 mu m or less. Large PuO/sub 2/ particles, when present, reduce the intensities of the impurities and of cobalt, the internal standard. Because t… more

Lighting for high-accuracy machining and inspection

Description: Requirements for very-high-accuracy machining and inspection operations demand close temperature control of machines and work pieces. In order that these temperatures may be controlled to plus or minus 0.05 deg F, it was necessary to restrict the amount of heat energy which could radiate from the area lighting fixtures. Field tests have demonstrated that a combination of supply and exhaust air ducts connected to the air conditioning system plus housings fitted with a dual lens system to filter … more

Characterization of actinide bearing soils: top sixty centimeters of 216-Z- 9 enclosed trench

Description: A program to examine the soil-actinide relationship in sediments from a disposal facility was initiated in March 1973. Initial work has been done using samples from the 216-Z-9 covered trench. Soil mounts were made of soil recovered from a core of an uncontaminated well drilled alongside Z-9 trench. The mounts were made by plastic-impregnating smaller, 1-in. diameter cores taken from the original 4-in. diameter cores. The uncontaminated mounts showed that the less than 30 mesh soil was composed… more
