Pole-Face Windings

Description: "A summary is presented of a preliminary study of the application of pole- face windings to the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. Estimates are made of the currents required, the forces on the wibdings and the voltages induced by the magnetic flux. The possibility of automatic control of the pole-face currents in explored, and feasible control systems are suggested."

Drying of Charcoal Used for Adsorption of Gaseous Fission Products from Homogeneous Reactors

Description: In homogeneous nuclear reactors significant quantities of radioactive inert gaseous fission products must be separated from the fuel solution for disposal. The present disposal scheme, which is employed on the HRT, is to pass the mixture of fission product gases and oxygen through a charcoal adsorption bed. the oxygen passes through the bed relatively un-adsorbed, but the radioactive inert gases are adsorbed and are displaced from the bed bed very slowly giving the gases a much greater residenc… more

Flotation Characteristics of Florida Phosphate Leached-Zone Material, Progress Report No . 7

Description: Although the results reported herein are rather encouraging and show the possibilities of utilizing flotation to increase recoveries and in some instances grades, they should not not be considered an optimum. As stated previously, time did not permit a detailed investigation of all reagents an conditions to obtain maximum grades and recoveries, but sufficient data, with enough typical samples, have been obtained to indicate a definite trend and encouragement for further studies. A comparison of… more

The Laplace Transform Method of Obtaining X-ray Spectral Energy Distributions

Description: This method essentially consists of analyzing x-ray filtration data in terms of Laplace transforms and obtaining the spectral energy distribution in terms of a sum of the corresponding inverse Laplace transforms. Some of the functions which are especially suited for this application are given and a graphical method of analyzing filtration data in terms of these functions is described. Examples of the practical application of this method to several low energy x-ray machines are included with a d… more

Magnetic Field Distributions in a Pinched Discharge

Description: By use of small magnetic probes inserted into the discharge, the magnetic field distributions in the interior of a high-power pinched discharge have been measured as a function of time. From these data the current distributions can be deduced. By applying a static pressure calculation, in the cases when the radical pinch accelerations are small, the plasma pressure nkT in the pinch has been determined, with superimposed axial magnetic fields, and for stable and unstable configurations.

Chemistry Division Semiannual Progress Report for Period Ending June 20, 1955

Description: Continued work on the adsorbability of metal complexes from concentrated LiCl solutions and LiCl-HCl mixtures on a strong-base anion-exchange resin further demonstrated the much higher adsorbability of these complexes from LiCl solutions than from HCl solutions. The effect is believed to be due to the formation of less strongly adsorbed undissociated chloro-complex acids in the case of the HCl solutions.

Aqueous Uranium Slurry Studies

Description: A summary of the laboratory development program on aqueous uranium slurry fuels for the Homogenous Reactor Project during the period April 1951 through March 1953 is presented. These investigations were devoted primarily to a study of the uranium oxides in aqueous suspensions. It was concluded that U(VI) was most likely to be the stable valence state in such slurry fuels and it was shown that β-UO3·H2O platelet crystals were the stable modification at 250°C. Very pure slurries of β-UO3·H2O pla… more

Chemical Separation of Isotopes Section Semiannual Progress Report For Period Ending December 31, 1954

Description: New systems involving the exchange of boron between boron trifluoride and boron trifluoride addition compounds have been explored. These systems have large separation factors and potentially simple reflux mechanisms. A precise determination of this separation factor for the anisole-boron trifluoride system gave the value (see report). Boron exchange was found to occur between BF and BCl3. Several homogenous catalysts have been found which activate the hydrogen-water exchange, but none are adopt… more

Measurements of Water Lattices

Description: A series of measurements of ε in slightly enriched uranium, light water lattices is presently under way at Brookhaven. Figure 1 shows ε as a function of water-to-metal ratio for .600" diameter rods, of 1.3% enrichment. Because of interaction between neighboring groups of rods, ε increases rapidly as the water-to-metal ratio decreases.

Techniques for Estimating the Specific Retention Properties of Hanford Soils

Description: Disposal on a specific retention basic of certain radioactive liquid waste solutions emanating from separations from separations plants has been practiced at Hanford since 1944. As used at Hanford, the term "specific retention" is defined as that volume of waste liquids that may be disposed to the soil* and be held against the force of gravity by the molecular attraction between sand grains and the surface tension of the water, when expressed as percent of packed soil volume. In practice it rep… more

Parameters of Dissolver Equipment Design - Power Fuel Reprocessing

Description: The Interim Power Fuels Reprocessing Program, as established by the Atomic Energy Commission, provides the service of recovering uranium, thorium, plutonium, etc., from irradiated fuels discharged from non-production reactors of both public and private ownership. To provide this service on an interim basis and at minimum capital investment, the Commission has assigned the processing responsibility for the various fuel types to several AEC sites. The sites are to be assigned fuel types most simi… more

709 Program for Reduction of Exponential Pile Data

Description: A multi-purpose program for processing exponential data has been prepared for the 709 computer. The main purposes of the program is to compute the material buckling from raw data (given counts, time, and counter information) or from previously calculated Athermal's. It is also possible to compute only CeCh (end and harmonic corrections) for a given B11 or series if B11's no counting data being entered. In every case, pile measurements must be submitted as input for corrections.

An Automatic Water Deaeration System

Description: Laboratory studies involving fluid flow through porous media require use of fluids having low dissolved gas content. Water is the major fluid used in various and box model and soil permeability studies carried out by the Geochemical and Geophysical Research group. Tap water supplied to the 222-U Bldg. contains a large amount of dissolved air. Under the reduced pressure encountered during model studies, the air is released from solution and gradually clogs the pores of the sand or other porous m… more

Corrosion of 2R-2 and 304 Stainless Steel Following the Turco-4501 Decontamination Process.

Description: The build up of contaminated film on the internal surfaces of high temperature in-reactor recirculating water loops has created serious radiation exposure problems to operational and maintenance personnel. A considerable amount of work has been applied to develop an effective decontamination process for the decontamination of these loops and their components.

PRTR Gas-Cooled Loop, Hazards Survey of Preliminary Scope Design

Description: The Atomic Energy Commission has recently developed an enlarged program for the study of graphite moderated, gas cooled power reactor systems. It has been recognized, however, that understanding of radiation damage and radiation induced chemical reactions of graphite at the proposed high moderator temperatures is inadequate and that improved understanding is essential if the design of such reactors is to be optimized. Accordingly, the Atomic Energy Commission requested Hanford to organize a mod… more
