Spectrophotometric studies of solutions at elevated temperatures and pressures: status and program for FY1961 and part of FY 1962

Description: A program was initiated on the spectrophotometric study of aqueous solution chemistry. The goal is operation at temperatures up to at least 330 deg C and at pressures up to 200 atm, and to near the critical point if this appears to be feasible. A spectrometer capable of operation under these extreme conditions is being designed. (W.L.H.)

IN-PILE GAS-COOLED FUEL ELEMENT TEST FACILITY

Description: Paper presented at American Nuclear Society Meeting, June I8-21, 1962, Boston, Mass. Design and operating problems of unclad and ceramic gas-cooled reactor fuels in high temperature circulating gas systems will be studied using a test facility now nearing completion at the Oak Ridge Research Reactor. A shielded air-tight cell houses a closed circuit gas system equipped for dealing with fission products circulating in the gas. Experiments can be conducted on fuel element performance and stabilit… more

TEST OF GERMAN UNDERGROUND PERSONNEL SHELTERS

Description: The predicted behavior of German underground personnel shelters, equipment, and certain instrumentation was investigated. Data obtained will be used for evaluation and improvement of present design criteria. Nine reinforcedconcrete underground shelters, designed by German engineers, were tested at the 170-, 155-, 110-, 78-, 26-, 11.5-, and 7.2-psi overpressure ranges as determined from average blast-line instrumentation measurements. Reinforcing steel, doors, and ventilation equipment were rece… more

Evaluation of Buried Conduits as Personnel Shelters

Description: Supersedes ITR-1421. Twelve large-diameter buried conduit sections of various shapes were tested in the 60- to l49-psi overpressure region of Burst Priscilla to make an empirical determination of the degree of personnel protection afforded by commercially available steel and concrete conduits at depths of burial of 5, 7.5, and 10 feet below grade. Essentially, it was desired to assure that Repartment of Defense Class I, 100psi and comparable radiations, and Class II, 50-psi and comparable radia… more

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 13

Description: Research was continued during the report period on the use of isotope neutron sources for producing short-lived radioisotopes. Experiments with a newly constructed betacounting cell are reported in which a 50-curie Be--Po neutron source was used. Study of the radiation chemistry of polymers was continued concerning the effects of polymer structure on free-radical formation. Free-radical formation in several additional polymers was studied. Preliminary work is also reported in an investigation o… more
