Flow-Regime Transitions at Elevated Pressures in Vertical Two-Phase Flow

Description: Two-phase flow-regime transitions at elevated pressures for a single-component, trichloromonofluoromethane, were investigated for forced-circulation, upward flow in a vertical, rectangular conduit with internal dimensions of 0.380 by 1.050 inches.

Comparative Analysis of ANL High Purity Uranium

Description: In the course of the development at Argonne of high purity uranium metal in ingot form, some questions arose as to the validity of the chemical analyses of some of the impurities (particularly those for carbon, boron, and silicon), with one analytical laboratory reporting concentrations in some instances of an order of magnitude greater than another laboratory. Since the low concentrations of impurities in this material involved, in some cases, the development of modified analytical procedures … more

Corrosion and Stability Tests on Chemical Poisons in Higher-Temperature Water

Description: Corrosion-stability tests have been made in static autoclaves at 500 and 600F on solutions of compounds having high neutron cross sections to evaluate their usefulness for shutdown purposes. The only compound tested which appeared to be completely stable in 600F water was boric acid. Limited corrosion data did not show it to cause excessive corrosion of zirconium or stainless steel.

A Hybrid-Computer Program for Transient Temperature Calculations on TREAT Fast Reactor Safety Experiments

Description: Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing a computer program used for fast reactor safety experiments. As stated in the summary, "this report gives a detailed description of a hybrid-computer program for calculating temperatures in a multi-region, axisymmetric, cylindrical configuration consisting of solid materials bounded by flowing coolant. Included is an explanation of the mathematical methods, together with a discussion of special features, input-output descriptions, and … more

The Regeneration Factor as a Function of Time in a Th232 - U235 Thermal Reactor

Description: This technical report is concerned with a theoretical investigation of the variation of the regeneration factor [gamma] in a Th232 - U235 thermal reactor. The abundances of the significant isotopes in the thorium-uranium cycle have been derived as a function of irradiation time at constant reactor power. The change in [gamma] as a function of irradiation time at constant power was calculated for combinations of enrichment and resonance escape probability considered likely to exist in a thermal … more

The Thermal Neutron Cross Section Of 9.2h Xe135 : Supplement to Report CP-2782

Description: In this report it reviews a possible declassification of the content of report CP-2782 (February 15, 1945) that presents the data of the most careful measurements of the thermal neutron cross section of 9.2h Xe135 and re-evaluation of the particular methods of measuring neutron flux employed in this experiment had been made for other purposes.

Preferred Orientation in 300 C Rolled and in Recrystallized Uranium Sheet

Description: The rolling and recrystallization textures in 300 C rolled uranium sheet were investigated using a Geiger counter diffractometer with the modified Schulz reflection technique. Seven sections of sheet material were used in order to obtain sufficient data for quantitative pole figures by the reflection technique. A special integrating specimen table was used for obtaining and recording the data atomically.

The Development of Equipment and Methods for Centrifugally Casting Reactor Fuel Slugs

Description: This technical report describes the design and construction of equipment and the development of methods for multiple mold, centrifugal casting of reactor fuel slugs. Advantages of the centrifugal casting method over the conventional fabrication methods were found to be (1) fewer operations, (2) fewer and more easily recovered residues, (3) less expensive equipment, and (4) the production of fuel slugs in shapes and in alloys not well adapted to other methods of manufacture. The method consisted… more
