Heat Transfer from Spent Fuel and Blanket Subassemblies During Transfer from Reactor to Decay Storage Facility. Technical Memorandum No. 2

Description: During the transfer of spent fuel and blanket subassemblies from the reactor to the decay storage the subassemblies must be moved through an inert gas The heat generation due to the decay of fission is sufficiently large that provisions must be made for cooling the subassembly when in the gas The transfer equipment was designed for conduction radiation and natural convection cooling only. Various steps in the transfer process are explained and computations on heat generation and transfer are gi… more

Relations Governing Low Cycle Fatigue : a Summary of the Pertinent Literature

Description: The information available to date on low-cycle fatigue, resulting from either repeated mechanical straining (strain cycling) or from repeated temperature changes under restraint (thermal cycling and thermal shock), their relation to static and conventional fatigue properties, and their fundamental significance is assembled. In spite of the small amount of data accumulated on the effects of the numerous variables involved in low-cycle fatigue these data appear to conform to certain significant r… more

Control of Oscillation Amplitudes

Description: This report analyzes methods of correcting for the anti-damping of the radial betatron oscillations. Practical methods of reducing the anti-damping are to couple the radial and vertical betatron oscillations by means of a rotated magnetic quadrupole lens, or to add a magnetic structure which has a decrease in radiation loss for increasing radius of particles. It is shown that the damping ration cannot be changed by shaping the R.F. cavities.

Theory of the Thermal Breakaway of a Pinned Dislocation Line with Application to Damping Phenomena

Description: An investigation is made of the model of a pinned dislocation line under stress. The model used is that originally given by Koehler and later employed by Granato and Lücke in their theory of mechanical damping due to dislocations. By taking into account thermal fluctuations the probability of the thermal unpinning (breakaway) of such a dislocation line is calculated. The effect of the breakaway on the decrement and apparent modulus change felt by a stress wave traveling though a solid is also c… more

Irradiation Damage at Low Temperatures in the Noble Metals

Description: During the past year a great deal of new experimental information has become available concerning the nature of the damage produced in the noble metals by nuclear irradiation. In addition, several new theoretical calculations have appeared. The present survey attempts to asses our knowledge of the field. In particular, it attempts to five an atomic description of the natures of the damage introduced and of the changes which occur during thermal annealing in the novel metals below 60 K.
