Fallout studies and assessment of radiological phenomena. Preliminary report. Project 32. 4 (of) Operation Plumbbob

Description: Data were obtained to evaluate the attenuation of photons, emitted from a fallout field, due to the surface roughness of the terrain. A study was made to determine the effect of the shot tower on the fallout material. Particles for comparison were collected from two detonations of equal scaled height, one tower supported and the other balloon supported. Data on time-dependent phenomena were recorded, as were physical characteristics of the fallout material. The use of small balloons as instrume… more

Definitive Scope of a Facility for E-Metal Product Segregation at the UO{sub 3} Plant Project CG-767

Description: E-Metal production is scheduled to start through the UO{sub 3} Plant in July of 1958. E-Metal is defined in HW-46138 as uranium metal enriched with U-235 to a level selected to be always-safe for non-metallic uranium forms, i.e. for compounds encountered during solvent extraction or calcination. Currently E-metal as selected contains 0.94% U-235 prior to irradiation. Planning of a segregation facility requires that the mixing of E-Metal with normal uranium be minimized, thereby preventing costl… more

Spallation-Fission Competition in Heaviest Elements; HeliumIon-Induced Reactions in Uranium Isotopes

Description: A radiochemical study of fission and spallation products produced by bombardment of U{sup 233}, U{sup 235}, and U{sup 238} with 18-46 Mev helium ions has been made. As in the case of similar studies using isotopes of plutonium as targets, most of the reaction cross section is taken up by fission. Also, the pronounced increase of the total cross section for ({alpha},xn) reactions with increasing mass number of the target that was observed for plutonium targets is observed for uranium targets.

A Study of Core Fuel Systems for a Fast Breeder Power Reactor

Description: The first phase of a program aimed toward the development of materials and a core-subassembly design for the second core of the Fermi Reactor is outlined. The ground rules established by APDA for the study were based upon the performance requirements of the reactor plant with some modification to permit hlgher power generation and upon a value of Pu produced of about per g. Consideratlons of various factors led to the selection of the dispersion or cermet fuel as havlng the most potential for t… more

Investigation of the compressive strength and creep of 7075-T6 aluminum-alloy plates at elevated temperatures

Description: From Summary: "Elevated-temperature compressive-strength test results form room temperature to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and creep test results from 350 degrees Fahrenheit to 500 degrees Fahrenheit are presented for V-groove edge-supported plates of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The test data are compared with calculations obtained from procedures for estimating maximum strength from material stress-strain curves and creep-failure stresses from isochronous stress-strain curves. The strength and creep re… more

Analysis of operational airline data to show the effects of airborne weather radar on the gust loads and operating practices of twin-engine short-haul transport airplanes

Description: From Introduction: "The data for operations both with and without radar installed have been analyzed and the results are presented in this paper. Although these results are of limited extent, they provide a basis for early examination of any trends in the gust loads and associated operating practices which might be attributed to the use of radar."

Momentum Transfer for Flow Over a Flat Plate with Blowing

Description: Note presenting a study of the effect on the boundary layer of blowing air through a porous flat plate into a main airstream flowing parallel to the plate. Measurements were made of velocity profiles and wall friction coefficients. The observed friction coefficients are predicted by mixture-length theory if the Reynolds number at the outer edge of the laminar sublayer is permitted to vary with the dimensionless ratio.

Abnormal grain growth in M-252 and S-816 alloys

Description: Report discussing an experimental investigation was carried out on air- and vacuum-melted M-252 and S-816 alloys to find conditions of heating and hot-working which resulted in abnormal grain growth. The experiments were mainly limited to normal conditions of heating for hot-working and heat treatment and normal temperatures of solution treatment were used to allow grain growth after susceptibility to abnormal grain growth was developed by various experimental conditions. Results indicated that… more
