Old pile HCR operating temperatures

Description: A study was made to determine operating temperatures of old pile HCR sheaths. The calculations were performed with the aid of a FORTRAN coded program for the IBM 7090. The difficulty of determining the correct value for the contact coefficient between the HCR and the graphite channel at any point in the channel length resulted in performing the calculations in a parametric style. The independent system parameters were varied during the calculations. These parameters are diametral spacing betwee… more

Neutron Diffraction Studies at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center

Description: A neutron diffraction program was initiated recently at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center. The two double crystal spectrometers in use were assembled with the aid of staff members of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The first research problem to be completed was a single crystal structure analysis of CaWO4. Choosing the origin at the 4(a) tungsten site in the tetragonal I41/a cell. the 16(f) oxygen parameters were found to be as follows: x=0.2413 ± 0.0005, y=0.1511 ± 0.0006, z=0.0861 ± 0.0001.… more

Activity Release From the N.S. Savannah in the Maximum Credible Accident

Description: The release of fission products that would occur following the maximum credible accident aboard the N.S. Savannah has been examined. Four significantly different, but realistic, operating histories were considered. The rate of release of noble gases and of iodine isotopes as a function of time after the accident was determined for each operating history and for both normal and emergency reactor-compartment ventilation systems. The influence of radioactive decay and of the time delay in release … more

COMPOUNDS OF DIVALENT-LANTHANIDES. PREPARATION, OPTICAL PROPERTIES, AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE

Description: Preparation of the sulfates, carbonates, and fluorides of divalent samarium, europium, and ytterbium is described. Crystallographic data from both x-ray and optical examination of the compounds are presented. Due to the instability of these plus (II) salts, the precision of the measurement is affected, but sufficient for characterization. A simple and convenient electrolytic method was devised to prepare the divalent sulfates. By metathetical reactions, carbonates and fluorides were prepared. T… more

Total Cross Sections for K Mesons and π Mesons on Protons and Deuterons between 2.5 and 6 BeV/c

Description: Recent measurements of the pion-proton total cross section, taken with small statistical errors, have shown the existence of two new maxima in the momentum range between 2 and 3 BeV/c. Measurements of comparable statistical accuracy, covering the momentum range from 2.5 to 8 BeV/c are reported in the present paper. In addition to the total cross sections for π± mesons on protons, their total cross sections on deuterons have also been determined. Some data were also taken on the total cross sect… more

Interactions of High Energy Antiprotons in Hydrogen

Description: In the fall of 1961 an extensive program of investigation of high energy p-p interactions was begun at the Brookhaven AGS. The BNL 20" liquid hydrogen bubble chamber and an electrostatically separated beam were used to obtain a total (to date) of 300,000 exposure with about 15 antiprotons per pulse. The exposures were made at antiproton momenta of 3.25 Bev/c and 3.69 Bev/c in the laboratory. Approximately 80% of the exposures were made 3.69 Bev/c antiprotons. A wide variety of reactions occur i… more

Adenosinetriphosphate Cleavage During the G-Actin to F-Actin Transformation and the Binding of Adenosinetriphosphate to F-Actin

Description: Since the discovery of the Straub and Feuer as well as Laki et al. that ATP bound to G-actin is transformed to ADP and inorganic phosphate during polymerization of actin (1, 2), it has become increasingly clear that the chemical changes in the nucleotide are related to the change in the physical state of the protein. Barany, Biro, Molnar and Straub have shown that highly purified actin preparation free of any enzyme which would use ATP, ADP or AMP as a substrate still catalyze the breakdown of … more

On the Crystal Chemistry of Salt Hydrates, II. A Neutron Diffraction Study of MgSO4·4H2O

Description: The crystal structure of MgSO4·4H2O has been refined using single crystal neutron diffraction data for the three main zones. The hydrogen positions which were found are essentially those which have been deduced from X-ray data in an earlier investigation.The mean value of the O-H bond lengths is 0.97Å. The O-H-O bonds are bent considerably. One hydrogen atom does not participate in hydrogen bonding, as can be concluded from the geometry of its surroundings and its thermal motion.

On the Crystal Chemistry of Salt Hydrates, III. The Determination of the Crystal Structure of FeSO4·7H2O (Melanterite)*

Description: Monoclinic FeSO4·7H2O is the stable solid phase between -1.82° and 56.6° C in contact with a saturated water solution of FeSO4. It occurs in nature as an oxidation product of Fe-containing sulfides an is called melanterite. FeSO4·7H2O belongs to a series of compounds Me2+SO4·nH2O, where Mn2+ is a cation with an approximate ionic radius of 0.7Å. The 1-, 4- and 5-hydrates are known to crystalize each in only one form, whereas the hexa- and the heptahydrates occur both in two different forms. The … more

THE EFFECT OF A MINIMUM WEIGHT RADIAL REFLECTOR ON SNAP SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS

Description: A model was derived for a minimum-weight radial reflector for SNAP reactors. The effect, which the use of this optimal reflector has on radiation shield weight requirements is investigated. Weights of systems employing conventional and optimal radial reflectors are compared using the FARSE and FARSER computer codes. It is found that for the configuration under study additional shield weight required when the optimal reflector is used is in excess of the reflector weight savings. (auth)

Chloride Deposition From Steam Onto Superheater Fuel Clad Materials

Description: Experimemts using Cl/sup 36/ in a steam test loop were conducted to study the deposition behavior of chlorides on BONUS superheater fuel assembly materials. The moisture content of the steam was varied between 0 and 0.5 wt%, and superheat was added up to 15 deg F before the steam passed over the test cartridge heater. The effects of vaiiables on the chloride deposition on the heater were studied in detail. Chloride deposition from moist steam was found to result in heavy, adherent deposits whic… more

A pressure vessel to be used with the linac to measure neutron spectra of poisoned solutions for moderator temperatures up to about 600 l F was constructed. A 150-kv positive-ion accelerator was added to the linac facility to produce 2.5 and 14-Mev neutrons from T(d,n) and d(d,n) reactions. The 14-Mev neutron yield is about 10/sup 11/ neutrons/sec.

Investigation of Vapor Volume Fraction and Slip Velocity Under the Euratom Program. Quarterly Progress Report, July 1-September 30, 1963

Description: A literature survey was performed in order to provide an adequate basis for selecting models for comparison with the data. A computer program was written that allows calculation of void profiles based on an exponential model. A variable exponent is input data for the program, which also computes an integrated average void fraction. After the test section installation was completed, shakedown tests were performed to assure that all equipment was operating properly. All water and all air referenc… more

Distribution of Transfused Tritiated Cytidine Labeled Leukocytes and Red Cells in the Bone Marrow of Normal and Irradiated Rats

Description: In normal rats and after whole-body irradiation with 550-r x-rays, the fate in the bone marrow of labeled nucleated and red cells of transfused peripheral blood was observed autoradiographically. Labeled nucleated cells, most of which were lymphocyte-like cells, readily migrated into the marrow parenchyma in normal animals (2 cells/1000 parenchymal cells/hr). Following irradiation to at least 27 to 51 hr, this migration appeared to be relatively increased. Beyond this time, parenchymal areas we… more

Development of Niobium Diffusion Barriers for Aluminum-Clad Uranium Alloy Fuel Elements

Description: S>Nickel was used as a diffusion barrier for Al-clad uranium alloy fuel elements, operating at 650 nif- F in organiccooled reactors. Advanced organic-moderated reactor (AOMR) concepts include operating temperatures up to 850 nif- F. Since the interdiffusion of Al --Ni is 150 times faster at 850 nif- F than at 650 nif- F, an alternate diffusion barrier is required. Subsequent studies resuited in the selection of niobium. Several techniques for bonding niobium to the U--10 Mo fuel were investigat… more
