1559/RE: A CODE TO COMPUTE RESONANCE INTEGRALS IN MIXTURES

Description: The computer program 1559/RE is an experimental IBM-704 code in FORTRAN language for computing the resonance integrals of isotopes in mixtures in the presence of hydrogenic moderation. There may be up to four isotopes, each with no more than 75 resolved resonance levels. Doppler broadening and interference scattering are included No estimate is made of contributions from unresolved resonances. Typical running times are 30 min (with no Doppler broadening) to 90 min (with Doppler broadening) for … more

Advanced, graphite-matrix, dispersion-type fuel systems. First annual report, April 1, 1962--March 31, 1963

Description: Declassified 4 Sep 1973. A hot-working device for compression of graphite bodies was used to deform cylindrical specimens of matrix graphite containing ZrC or UC-ZrC particles to strains of the order of 30% at temperatures of 2400 to 2900 deg C. The graphite bodies containing ZrC particles (chosen as representative carbide particles) were found to be more plastic near 2500 deg C than similar bodies containing no carbide particles. Microradiographic techniques were used to determine diffusion co… more

Alpha Particle Ionization of Argon Mixtures--Further Study of the Role of Excited States

Description: BS>The average energy required to form an ion pair, W, when alpha particles are absorbed in mixtures of argon with other gases is studied. The other gases were selected on the basis of their ionization potentials. One group consists of representative gases that have ionization potentials below that of Ar (15.77 ev) and above the doublet metastable state of Ar (11.49 and 11.66 ev). This list includes methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, xenon, and krypton. The other group of special interest … more

ANNEALING OF GAMMA RAY INDUCED CHANGES IN ANTIMONY DOPED GERMANIUM

Description: An investigatiori of the annealing of the radioinduced carrier concentration change in Sb-doped Ge in the range 370 to 455 l K was made. The irradiations were conducted at liquid nitrogen temperature using Co/ sup 60/ gamma irradiation. A model that explains the observed behavior is presented. On the basis of the model, the observed annealing consists of vacancy diffusion simultaneously to impurity sites and annihilation centers. Analysis of the activation energy for the annealing process yield… more

Beryllium Reflector Specimen Thread Strength Tests

Description: Strengths at failure are reported for a number of threaded beryllium specimens loaded in tension at room temperature and -320 degrees F. Loads greater than normal bolt strengths were repeatedly carried. The standard fine thread was somewhat stronger than the standard coarse thread. Material at the entrance of the hole should be counter-bored about one diameter deep in order to resist cone-type fracture. Pure tensile loading should be used. Possible shear loading should be carried by separate pi… more

CARBIDE FUEL DEVELOPMENT. Progress Report, October 1, 1962-March 31, 1963

Description: FUEL FABRlCATlON AND EVALUATION. The synthesis and fabrication of (UO/ sub 0.95/Pu/sub 0.05/)C/sub 0.98/ test specimens by cold pressing and sintering for out-of-pile property measurements were completed. Theoretical densities of 91% (avg) were obtained without sirtering aid and 96% (avg) with 0.1 wt% nickel sintering aid. Mixed sesquicarbide, ated into pellets 94% of theoretical density. Massive, carbon-stabilized PuO was synthesized by the carbon reduction of the dioxide. The carbon content o… more

Catalytic Hydrocracking of High Boiler in Nuclear Reactor Coolant

Description: Selective hydrocracking of total coolant was found to be an efficient and economic method for reconstitution of high boiler in the coolant to usable product. Such a process could eliminate the expense of vacuum distillation and disposal of high boilers produced in a nuclear reactor power plant. The selective conversion was possible since polyphenyls were found to be more susceptible towards hydrocracking as the phenyl chain length increased. Both cobalt molybdate on alumina and nickel oxide on … more

Chemical Binding in the Water Molecule

Description: From Introduction : "This analysis partitions the electron density and the electronic pair density of the molecule into components corresponding promoted atomic states, to quasiclassical coulombic interactions of these promoted states, and to interactions resulting from the sharing of electrons between atoms."

A Comparison of Several Methods for Inverting Large Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices

Description: ABS>The Gauss-Jordan, Choleski, congruent transformation, and rank annihilation methods for inverting large symmetric positive definite matrices were compared. An attempt was made to consider the effects of both condition and order of the matrix to be inverted on the closeness of the computed inverse to the exact inverse. Each method was programmed in FORTRAN using only single precision arithmetic. Then the error indicators were computed using double precision arithmetic so that the latter calc… more

Condensing Flow in Finned, Tapered Tubes

Description: On the assumption that a Lockhart-Martinelli type of correlation is applicable, an analytical approach to the interpretation of pressure drop data on condensing flow in tapered tubes was developed with particular reference to the condensation of potassium in a radiant condenser of a type that may be attractive for space power plants. It appears that instability can be encountered in such condensers only through the introduction of excess liquid inventory at reduced power or by design of the con… more

THE CONVERSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY INTO SHOCK PULSES

Description: The repulsion-coil technique for energy conversion offers a powerful, new tool in the field of acculeration testing. Using this technique, a prototype magnetic shock device was developed that uses electrical energy stored in a capacitor bank to produce high-g, mechanical acceleration pulses. A disc projectile is vacuum-held against the core of an electromagnet coil, and a crystal accelerometer is attached to the projectile to monitor the pulse. The capacitor bank is charged to a specific voltag… more

Crud deposition in KER loops at pH 10 LiOH

Description: One of the problems which may be encountered in the operation of NPR, or of any similar pressurized-water reactor, is the deposition of crud in the reactor core, particularly on the surfaces of the fuel elements. This crud consists primarily of iron oxides resulting from the corrosion of the piping. It has generally been found to deposit preferentially in a radiation field such as is present in the reactor core. Such deposition is undesirable for two reasons. First, the crud will become activat… more
