40-MW(e) Prototype High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Research and Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962

Description: Research and development progress specifically directed toward the construction of a 40-Mw(e) prototype power plant employing a high-temperature, gas-cooled, graphitemoderated reactor known as the HTGR is reported. Irradiation of element III-B in the in-pile loop continued satisfactorily. The element has generated a total of l36.3 Mw-hr of fission heat. The gross activity in the purge stream increased slightly to about 350 mu C/cm/sup 3/. By taking larger gas samples than were previously taken,… more

190-H drawdown test

Description: A discrepancy of about 1000 gpm has existed between the full-flow recorded 190, 105 and ROL flows. While past operating practices have not used the 190 or ROL flow rates for official purposes, the disquieting, though not theoretically unexplicable, differences require some quantitative resolution. On November 24, 1962, a drawdown test of the 190-H storage tanks was performed to establish the accuracy of the various flowmeters. The drawdown test of the 190 storage tanks was run at the beginning … more

A 200-Watt Conduction-Cooled Reactor Power Supply for Space Application

Description: The limited supply of relatively long-half-life isotopes having a reasonably high power density and the low conversion efficiencies obtainable with thermoelectric devices have so far limited the power output of isotope-fueled sources of electric power to several tens of watts. In addition, the high cost of the available isotopes results in a very large expense for isotope-fueled generators producing several hundred watts. It appears that a small, minimumweight, conduction-cooled reactor is an a… more

1559/RE: A CODE TO COMPUTE RESONANCE INTEGRALS IN MIXTURES

Description: The computer program 1559/RE is an experimental IBM-704 code in FORTRAN language for computing the resonance integrals of isotopes in mixtures in the presence of hydrogenic moderation. There may be up to four isotopes, each with no more than 75 resolved resonance levels. Doppler broadening and interference scattering are included No estimate is made of contributions from unresolved resonances. Typical running times are 30 min (with no Doppler broadening) to 90 min (with Doppler broadening) for … more

Activation of electrical machinery. Supplement 1. [Preliminary evaluation; not applicable to ground tests]

Description: The following analysis of the induced radioactivity in SNAP-50/SPUR electrical machinery having a high cobalt content is submitted. Induced radioactivity in the flight vehicle will contribute negligibly to allowable radiation levels. This is especially so due to the low neutron to gamma ratio of assumed radiation damage tolerances to semiconductors. A calculation to estimate the order of magnitude of induced radioactivity in cobalt is attached. The calculation is based on a best guess of the ne… more

The Activity Coefficients of Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Chloride in Hydrochloric Acid-Sodium Chloride Mixtures

Description: The activity coefficients of HCl and NaCl in HCl--NaCl mixtures were computed from literature data. The calculations are based on the observation that at constant ionic strength and temperature the logarithm of the activity coefficient of HCi in HCl--NaCl mixtures varies linearly with NaCl concentration.

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

Acute Gamma Irradiation of Quercus Seed--Its Effect on Germination and Seedling Growth

Description: Dormant seed of Quercus alba and Quercus rubra were irradiated with gamma rays from Co/sup 60/ to determine the efiect on cytological and morphological expression in the resulting seedlings. Investigations included varying moisture content and physiological state of the seed prior to treatment, and preliminary evaluation of induced mutation. The following observations were made. The lethal radiation exposure was the same for both species although there were differences in germination within the… more

Advanced, graphite-matrix, dispersion-type fuel systems. First annual report, April 1, 1962--March 31, 1963

Description: Declassified 4 Sep 1973. A hot-working device for compression of graphite bodies was used to deform cylindrical specimens of matrix graphite containing ZrC or UC-ZrC particles to strains of the order of 30% at temperatures of 2400 to 2900 deg C. The graphite bodies containing ZrC particles (chosen as representative carbide particles) were found to be more plastic near 2500 deg C than similar bodies containing no carbide particles. Microradiographic techniques were used to determine diffusion co… more
