A Theorectical Treatment of Atomic Configurations Found in Some Iron-Aluminum Solid Solutions

Description: "Theoretical calculations have been carried our for the two ordering phases which occur in the FeAl system. The statistical treatment involves first and second neighbor interaction parameters as well as a magnetic interaction between first neighbor iron atoms. The phase diagram and the amount and type of long range order for slowly cooled alloys are calculated. Further calculations include short range order for the disordered phase at three compositions and two temperatures. As expected, the… more

Atom Arrangements in Some Iron-Aluminum Solutions, Report No. 1

Description: "Short-range order coefficients were measured at 300 and 400°C for iron-aluminum alloys containing 14.8, 18.2, and 20.0 atomic per cent aluminum. These alloys exhibited a strong preference for unlike near neighbors. The short-range order was greater at the lower temperature and increased as the Fe 3Al composition was approached."

Flame Spectra of Vanadium, Niobium, Rhenium, Titanium and Molybdenum

Description: Abstract Line spectra of vanadium, niobium, titanium, molybdenum and rhenium of sufficient intensity to allow detection at the 1–10 p.p.m. level can be excited in fuel-rich, oxy-acetylene flames. For the strongest lines of tungsten, the sensitivity of detection is 90 p.p.m. Weak lines of zirconium, hafnium, osmium, tantalum and uranium are also observed in these flames. Recordings of the spectra are given along with wavelength tables of the strongest lines.

Relationships Between States of Nuclei With Constant Neutron Excess

Description: From introduction: "In order to locate systematic trends of states with a certain angular momentum and parity Jπ in nuclei having constant neutron excess, both the ground state and the level energies will be considered simultaneously: we plot the total nuclear binding energy or nuclidic mass excess of excited states, whereby the ground states appear as a special case. Such a natural correlation of level schemes has been employed before Inglis already in 1953."

The Hydrolysis of the Rare-Earth Carbides

Description: From introductory paragraph: "This report concerns the hydrolysis of rare-earth dicarbides, sesquicarbides, solid solutions of carbon in rare-earth metals as well as rare-earth carbon alloys of varying compositions. Many of the carbide samples used in this study were those which had been studied by Gschneider (9)(7) and had been preserved in evacuated, sealed tubes. Some additional preparations of the sesquicarbides were made especially for these studies. The hydrolytic reactions were carried o… more

Magnetically Dilute Alloys, Rare-Earth Metals, and Superconductivity

Description: From introduction: "The basic interactions which give rise to the interesting magnetic properties of dilute alloys, such as cobalt in palladium, have received a great deal of attention both theoretically and experimentally. This problem has many facets which are peculiarly interrelated. For example, there is the problem of Curie points of the order of magnitude of 10°K for concentrations of 'magnetic' ions of 0.1%. It has been proposed that this problem involves virtual d-states (Friedel) which… more

The Preparation and Properties of Distilled Yttrium

Description: From abstract: "Distillation procedures used for purifying yttrium metal, producing metal containing less than 150 ppm oxygen and lower concentrations of most of the other common impurities, are discussed. Some of the physical and mechanical properties of the distilled yttrium indicate: (1) a melting point of 1510°C, (2) a solid state transformation at 1459°C obtained from high temperature resistivity data, (3) a Rockwell H hardness of 60 and (4) improved rolling and swagging characteristics."

Filters to Provide Nearly Monoenergetic X-Rays

Description: Abstract: Four filters for use with a 250 KVP pulsating X-ray machine were constructed to calibrate radiation detection instruments in the energy region below 200 KEV. Approximately monoenergetic beams of 63, 105, 150, and 180 KEV were produced. The spectral distribution was computer suing the formula of Kulenkampff. The energies were found to drop rapidly from the peak values. The average values were checked from absorption curves obtained experimentally and found to deviate from the computed … more

Power Distributions for Type 3 Replacement Cores for SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A

Description: Abstract: The most adverse power distribution and power peaking factors have been developed for Type 3 replacement cores for SM-1, SM-1A, and PM-2A. Also included is the 37 element Type 3 core for SM-1, which is known as SM-1 Core III and is a prototype of a Type 3 core for PM-2A. The power distributions were compared with measured distributions obtained on type 3 fuel elements in SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A core configurations. Using the measured data as a standard, correction factors were obtained … more

Proposal for charging test fuel element with corrugated outer jacket, GEH-10-62

Description: Localized tensile necking and splitting of the Zircaloy-2 clad on coextruded uranium cored fuel elements may represent an ultimate exposure limit. One way to increase the total energy capability of the fuel element is to corrugate the outside cladding so its perimeter is greater than that of a circle circumscribing the equivalent cross-sectional area. Thus swelling of the core will be accommodated by bending of the cladding rather than by large cladding tensile strains. The principal purpose of… more

Preliminary hazards review overboring Hanford reactors

Description: The General Electric Company, as prime contractor to the AEC at Hanford, is proposing to modify the lattice characteristics of the 8 3/8-inch lattice reactors for the purposes of improving the conversion ratio of these reactors. The proposed overbore modification of the reactors would remove the existing aluminum process tubes, enlarge the diameters of the graphite channels by about one-half inch, insert smooth-bore Zircaloy-2 process tubes and refuel the reactor with larger size, self-supporte… more

Irradiation performance of enriched seven-rod cluster fuel elements with 20- and 30-mil-thick cladding, Supplement B to production test IP-226-A, (RM-562): Final report

Description: The proposed operating conditions for Hanford`s N-Reactor fuel elements require the fuel to be an extended surface geometry and to maintain adequate mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in high-temperature water. The fuel element geometry which has been selected for N-Reactor use is a Zircaloy-2-clad, coextruded, tube-in-tube fuel element. A seven-rod cluster fuel element had been considered early in the N-Reactor design program. This report describes the testing of seven-rod cluster fu… more
