Thermal mapping of the Columbia River at Hanford using an infrared imaging system

Description: The infrared imagery data was collected September 13, 1966 from 1010--1013 o`clock, using a mercury-doped germanium detector which was filtered to respond to wave lengths of infrared radiation. The magnetic-tape recorded information was processed with a computer program to obtain quantitative evaluations of river temperature variations and to accurately define surface temperature patterns resulting from the discharge of reactor effluents into the river. The river surface-temperature information… more

Half-plant zeta potential test, Interim report

Description: The production reactors operated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., use treated Columbia River water as the coolant on a once-through basis. Thus, radionuclides formed largely by the neutron activation of river salts are discharged to the river. One method of reducing the quantity of radionuclides in the effluent is to increase the efficiency of parent isotope removal during the coolant treatment process. It was recognized that an alum feed rate of 18 ppM is not necessarily optimum throughout the… more

Hupmobile cloud chamber parameters

Description: The accompanying table lists the presently selected parameters for the twelve cloud chambers. The chambers are numbered consecutively from 4 through 15 as they are lined up in the bunker. The lowest number is closest to the source. All except the first chamber have some thin metal filters to attenuate the flux and harden the spectrum. Cloud chambers 10, 12, and 14 are shielded by a collimator with about 200 pinholes in it. The flux in these chambers is attenuated by the ratio of the pinhole are… more

Low-cycle fatigue testing of irradiated Hastelloy-N (ORR S-2)

Description: Hastelloy-N strip specimens were irradiated in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor at temperatures of 1330 to 1390/sup 0/F, to neutron doses of 1.8 to 2.6 x 10/sup 20/ nvt thermal, l.4 to 2.0 x 10/sup 19/ nvt fast. Twelve irradiated specimens were selected for testing from each of two heats, 0143 (0.010 in. thick) and 5911 (0.015 in.). Six specimens in each heat were as-received, the other six were as-processed. Processing steps included chromizing, a simulated coating firing cycle, diffusion treatm… more

Trace Characterization: Chemical and Physical

Description: From Introduction: "This symposium focuses attention on the growing awareness of the necessity for developing and using better methods for characterizing solids. Many of the most interesting properties of solids depend directly upon these small concentrations of impurities and defects, and the illustration of this is a principal theme of this paper."

Bibliography of Temperature Measurement: July 1960 to December 1965

Description: Report combining National Bureau of Standards Monograph 27 with the references given in Supplement 1 (May 13, 1963) and issued as a single publication to assist users of this material. References concern the field of temperature measurement. These references were collected from two general sources: Scientific and technical literature and government reports. References are divided into a number of categories based on the type of instrument used. Some references to calibration of instruments and … more
