The Excited States of He4

Description: From International Congress of Nuclear Physics, Paris, July, 1964. The reaction D(He3,p) He4 was used to investigate excited states in the He nucleus. The decay of states populated by this reaction was studied using two semiconductor particle detectors and two dimensional pulse height analysis to examine coincidences between charged particles involved in the three body breakups of the D+He3 system. Two excited states in He4 were identified in this way, one at an excitation of 19.99 +- 0.02 Mev … more

Photochemistry of Nucleic Acids, and its Biological Implications

Description: The series of papers that we are about to discuss is primarily concerned, not as the first part of the session title indicates, with photochemistry of nucleic acids, but, as the second part indicates, with the biological implications of the photochemistry. We know that ultraviolet acts on nucleic acids in cells, and we know a good deal about the photochemistry of this interaction in vitro. The question we ask here is, which test tube reactions are of importance to the survival of the cell?

A Simple Quasi Reference Electrode … Applications in Controlled-Potential Polarography and Voltammetry and in Chronopotentiometry

Description: The quasi reference electrode ( Q.R.E. ) is a bright platinum wire or other inert conductor immersed directly in the solution; it may have a very small area. It is used instead of a true reference electrode but must be used with potentiostatic or other circuits that prevent the drawing of cell current through the Q.R. E. When used in appropriate situations, the results obtained by use of a Q.R.E. are like those obtained with a true reference electrode except for the lack of thermodynamic meanin… more

Transition Boiling Heat Transfer Program; Sixth Quarterly Progress Report, April - June 1964

Description: Summary: Transition boiling data was taken with an improved flow loop, to explore the influence of loop characteristics on rod temperature fluctuations the transition region was found to be much smaller than for comparable conditions with a different loop. Also the amplitude, and frequency of the temperature oscillations, were significantly less than before. These results indicate that loop characteristic and flow disturbance parameters play a prominent part in governing the transition tempe… more

Program for the Development of Plutonium Recycle for Use in Light Water Moderated Reactors Quarterly Progress Report: April 1 - June 30, 1964

Description: A research program is being conducted to obtain experimental data in the irradiation of plutonium-enriched fuel to confirm a theoretical model for predicting isotopic composition and reactivity changes in plutonium-enriched, light-water-moderated reactors. Quarterly progress: Project fuel fins irradiated to 1860, 3000, and 5300 MWD/T have been successfully sampled in the Radioactive Materials Laboratory. The samples have been dissolved and aliquots delivered to Chemistry for Mass Spectrometry … more

UO2 Pellet Thermal Conductivity From Irradiations With Central Melting

Description: Abstract: Continued irradiation experience under the AEC - Euratom, UO2 High Performance Program provided five separate and distinct sets of data on UO2 thermal conductivity. Four of these results are expressed in terms of the value of the thermal conductivity. The first two of these measurements were applicable -- strictly -- to poly crystalline UO2. Recently, three additional sets of measurements have been obtained -- all pertinent to UO2 after the formation of large columnar grains. The … more

Production test IP-695-AC thorium oxide irradiation -- K Reactors

Description: Irradiation of thorium for the production of ``clean`` U-233 at HAPO began in CY 1963. Several small-scale tests, involving from gram-size quantities up to a few elements, were successfully conducted; the results from these tests, coupled with theoretical predictions, indicated the desirability of further investigation. The objectives of this test are to (1) authorize the irradiation of about two tons of thorium oxide target elements in central zone process tubes of KE Reactor, (2) determine th… more

N-Reactor shutdown for fuel rupture indications - tube 3361

Description: The N-Reactor was shutdown on July 7, 1964, due to fuel rupture indications on tube 3361. The rupture has been confirmed as a failure in the downstream inner fuel element in tube 3361 caused by a pin hole in the weld and braze metal. This document presents a historical record of the rupture indications observed prior to and following the shutdown. The operating history of tube 3361 is compared with an adjacent tube, with no abnormal conditions observed at any time. Reactor temperature and power… more

Production Test IP-684-A, hot-die-sized parameters evaluation

Description: The hot-die-sized concept has been under investigation as an alternate manufacturing process for several years. Irradiation testing of the elements began in mid 1963. Some dimensional behavior problems were encountered with the fuel and a test is now being irradiated which may provide sufficient data to remedy the situation. Pre-irradiation examination of fuel elements has shown a significant dimensional change of the cores during the fabrication process, and this dimensional change is thought … more

Preliminary hazards evaluation for enriched uranium-thoria (E-Q) loading: Hanford IPD reactors

Description: The General Electric Company, as contractor to the AEC at Hanford, is proposing to modify the fuel loading of one or more of the IPD production reactors for the purpose of producing ``clean`` U-232 as a coproduct with plutonium. The isotope, U-233, with low (3-5 ppM) U-232 content, is expected to become a material with important nuclear applications. The IPD reactors are well suited to produce clean U-233. A proposal to produce 200 kg of U-233 for critical experiments for the AEC`s seed-and-bla… more
