Expressions for Conversion Ratio in a Th-U²³⁵ Converter

Description: "This memo shall be an attempt to write down in a consistent manner some expressions for conversion ratio so that a comparison can be made with regard to a uniformly loaded core versus a flattered zone surrounded by an unloaded region. The discussion will be limited to the type of loading that is at present being considered for the reactor - a checkerboard array of MTR fuel elements and feed elements; the unloaded reactor will consist of fuel elements only."

Thorium and Thorium Alloys Preliminary Corrosion Tests

Description: Technical report investigating the corrosion resistance of thorium and thorium alloys containing from 2 to 6% chromium, columbinium (niobium), titanium, zirconium and titanium-zirconium in distilled water at 95ºC. The true effects of the various alloy additions could not be determined because of the more marked effect of cold working. [From Abstract]

The Concentration of Deuterium by Chemical Exchange Between Hydrogen and Ammonia

Description: Technical report describing the results of the chemical reaction between potassium amide and liquid ammonia and the exchange of hydrogen between hydrogen gas and liquid ammonia. This report finds that the reactions may be sufficiently rapid to be useful for isotope separations on a larger scale.

The Vanadium-Uranium Constitutional Diagram

Description: Abstract: "Vanadium-uranium equilibrium studies were made on alloys prepared from high-purity vanadium and good biscuit uranium. No intermetallic phases occur in the system. Additions of vanadium lover the uranium melting point and transformations producing a eutectic at 1240 +/- 5 C and eutectoid reactions at 727 +/- 5 and 652 +/- 5 C. The maximum solubility of uranium in vanadium is about 4 atomic per cent (15 weight per cent)."

Dynamic Corrosion and Mass Transfer of Chrome Steel by Bismuth

Description: From introduction: "This report summarizes the experimental data obtained at the San Pablo Laboratory on the corrosion of 5% Cr - 0.5% Mo steel by bismuth under conditions that allow mass transfer to occur. The bismuth is circulated through a temperature gradient by means of a thermosiphon loop."

The Hydrolysis of Tributyl Phosphate Ad Its Effect on the Purex Process

Description: From abstract: "The rate of hydrolysis of TBP and the effect of the hydrolysis products in the Purex Process have been studied. Hydrolytic conditions may be encountered in the process which would lead to formation of dibutyl phosphoric acid, causing significant losses of tetravalent plutonium in stripping. This situation may be easily alleviated by reducing and stripping the plutonium in the trivalent state."

Boiling Reactors: A Preliminary Investigation

Description: Technical report detailing kinetic equations that have been developed for a boiling-type reactor and inherent reactor stability studies that have been made on the basis of these equations. Presents features of the proposed reactor, comparisons of circulating types, investigations of bubble-rise velocities, effects of transient conditions of vapor mass in steam chest, and bubble time delay functions yield favorable results.

Neutron Economy of Various Converter Reactor Designs

Description: The following report determines how many neutrons are being absorbed in various converter reactor designs, how many neutrons leak from the reactor and the breakdown between fast and thermal leakage. Another interest this paper examines is to determine how many neutrons are absorbed in thorium in the resonance region, at thermal energy, and in the blanket.

Enrichment of Uranium 236

Description: From abstract: "Neutron-irradiated uranium was electromagnetically separated to provide enrichment of the isotope of mass 236. The final isotopic abundance of U 236 was determined to be 95% in 1800 milligrams of uranium. Useful by-products of the program were 22 grams of 25% U 236 and 1100 grams of 99.7% U 235. These enriched materials have been made available for use on Atomic Energy Commission projects. Possible application of this separation process to recovery of the fuel from the MTR react… more
