Annual Progress Report on Fuel Element Development for FY 1962

Description: Activities in a project aimed at the improvement of fuel elements for high flux test reactors are reported. The investigation of new fuel compositions, distributions, and geometries is being undertaken to increase fuel life, to improve the flux distribution, and to provide a means of safely reaching higher reactor operating power and power density in these reactors. The effects of nuclear irradiation on the fuel and structural materials is being studied to predict the performance of these mater… more

NPR hazards review: (Phase 1, Production only appendixes). Volume 2

Description: The NPR Hazards Review is being issued in a series of volumes. Volume 1, which has already been published, was of the nature of an expanded summary. It included the results of hazards analyses with some explanatory material to put the results in context. Volume 2 presents results of reviews made after the preparation of Volume 1. It also contains supporting material and details not included in Volume 1. Volumes 1 and 2 together provide a nearly complete ``Design Hazards Review of the NPR.`` How… more

PREPARATION OF HIGH-PURITY MAGNESIUM OXIDE

Description: A procedure was developed for preparing high-purity magnesium oxide for use in growing single crystals needed in studies of radiation effects. The procedure consists in dissolving high-purity sublimed magnesium metal in nitric acid, extracting impurities from the solution into a TTA--Hexone solution, precipitating magnesium carbonate from the aqueous phase, and igniting the magnesium carbonate to magnesium oxide. Amounts of magnesinm oxide from gram to pound quantities can be prepared. (auth)

SNAP Shield Test Experiment Fission-Plate Power Calibration

Description: Three techniques were employed in measuring the fission rate of the STE (SNAP Shield Test Experiment) fission source plate; the thermal neutron absorption rate, power dissipation (calorimetric method), and the fission-neutron production technique. The results obtained, when weighted according to the reciprocal of the squares of the estimated errors, yielded a fission rate of 1.97 x 10/sup 12/ fissions/sec plus or minus 4% for a STE reactor power level of 50 kw. Assuming that 190 Mev of usable e… more
