Adaptation of a Commercial Counter X-Ray Diffractometer for Investigations to 3000°C

Description: The rapid advances in many technologically important areas have not only served to accentuate the increased demands for high temperature metals and ceramics but have necessitated a more through knowledge of their physical properties when exposed to high temperature service. Toward this latter end, the use of X-ray diffraction has proved an invaluable tool in providing data of regions of thermal stability, expansion coefficients, solid solubility limits, and phase transformations by direct exami… more

BEVATRON OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT. XXXIII. Period Covered February- April 1962

Description: Experimental work consisted of one new run started and completed this quarter, and the completion of one of the three continuing runs. Of the scheduled operating time, the beam was on for 69.4% of the time, 2.3% of the time was used for experimental setup, and equipment outage took 29.3% of the time. There were two scheduled and two impromptu shutdowns. During one of the scheduled shutdowns the external-beam extraction magnets were installed in the east and south tangent tanks. The other schedu… more

Cell Population Kinetics of an Osteogenetic Tissue, I

Description: Cell proliferation on the actively growing periosteal surface of the femur of rabbits aged two weeks, has been investigated using autoradiographic techniques. Injections of tritiated glycine and tritiated thymidine were given simultaneously and the animals sacrificed at intervals from one hour to 5 days after injection. The glycine labelled the position of the bone surface at the time of injection and the thymidine labelled the cells which were synthesizing DNA . The rate of increase in the cel… more

Cell Population Kinetics of an Osteogenetic Tissue, II

Description: A study of the cell kinetics on the actively growing periosteal surface of the femur of rabbits ages two weeks has been continues. A single injection of tritiated thymidine was given and the rabbits killed from one hour to four days after injection. The grain count spectra of the different cell types, pre-osteoblast, osteoblast and osteocyte, have been compared at different times after injection. The results showed evidence for the uptake of thymidine in nuclei which is not associated with cell… more

Corrosion of Zircaloy-2 by pH 10 LiOH in heated crevices

Description: Both the inner and outer tubes of the N-Reactor fuel elements will have self supports spot welded to the lateral heat-transfer surface of the element. A crevice a few mils thick will exist around the weld between the support tab and the cladding. Because of the heat flux through the cladding at this point and the insulating effect of the support tab, the temperature in this crevice will be higher than that on the free surface away from the support. This can result in boiling in the crevice lead… more

Design and Test of a Diaphragm Pump for Liquid Metals

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "Details are provided on the construction and operation of a two-stage diaphragm pump successfully used for the first time in liquid metal service. From the results of 5,376 hr. test of the pump it was concluded that it is well suited to the pumping of liquid metals at low flow rates where pulsating flow can be tolerated and also where remote operation is required. Operating temperatures and pressures are limited only by the availability of suitable materials o… more

DISPERSION-STRENGTHENED VANADIUM ALLOYS. Bimonthly Report No. 1, December 14, 1962-February 13, 1963

Description: Dispersion-strengthening mechanisms are under investigation in alloys based on the Nb-- V system for the purpose of improving stress-rupture properties. Ten compositions containing small C additions in combination with Hf or Zr were prepared by nonconsumable-electrode arc melting. Powder metallurgy preparation of alloys containing dispersed refractory particles is also under investigation. Minus 325 mesh powders of a V--Nb--Ti alloy were produced by the hydride process; the sintered compacts we… more

Emergency storage basin coolant: Design criteria for architect-engineer usage

Description: This document defines the objectives, bases, and functional requirements that shall govern the preparation of detail design of the gravity fed water supply to reactor storage basins for all eight reactors. In the event that appears advisable and feasible to discharge all metal from the reactors into the metal storage basins, it would be necessary to add water to the storage basins to prevent overheating of the fuel elements. Without the addition of cool water the storage basin water would soon … more

Evaluation of the B-cask in accordance with proposed regulations of the AEC and ICC for off-site shipments of irradiated bismuth

Description: The growing concern of government agencies for safe shipment of radioactive materials, both in this country and in Europe, has resulted in a number of proposed regulations governing every phase of shipment including the design of the cask or container, There have been requests during the last year for increased shipments of irradiated bismuth from Hanford. This radioactive material has been shipped in the B-cask to the off-site processing plant for several years. These two factors, proposed reg… more

Evaluation of the ``machined parts`` cask for off-site shipments of irradiated lithium

Description: The ``machined parts`` casks are shipped to Hanford by Savannah River for loading with irradiated lithium alloy slugs and returned for processing. The casks have been in service for about 10 years and have shielding material more than what is required by regulations for radiation attenuation. Evaluation shows that rupture of the shell is probable for edge or corner drop, with considerable displacement of shielding. The cask would fail in a 2-hour fire of 2000 F with loss of shielding and probab… more

Four Short Articles on Genetics of Maize

Description: Studies carried on since 1956 indicate that the prosaic breeding procedure of sibbing among the most perennial segregates in the hybrid of 4n maize x 4n perennial teosinte quickly restores perennialism to 50% maize tetraploids through increasing the expression of the rhizomatous habit under selection pressure. Similarly, only two generations of selection at the 75% maize level have resulted in a progressive recovery of the perennial expressive. A high degree of maize-likeness therefore appears … more

Linkage in Autotetraploids and Allotetraploids of Zea

Description: Studies of linkage in polyploids have been exceedingly rare. Only three previous studies of linkage in autotetraploid maize have been reported. Murray (1944), in a limited analysis of crossing over among 4 linked markers in chromosome 2, found varying degree of difference in linkage values between 2n and 4n maize in the three interposed segments. Dempsey (1956) found linkage values wx - c region of chromosome 9 to correspond closely between autotetraploid and diploid maize. More recently Welch … more

Mathematics of Intermittent Irradiation

Description: Initiation of reactions by intermittent irradiation is frequently encountered in physical, chemical, and biological systems. Mathematical expressions for transient and steady state concentrations of reactive species in these systems are useful for predicting performance and for research purposes. A general method of formulation of the intermittent irradiation problem is presented herein, and illustrative solutions are obtained for radioactive decay chains and for the rotating sector method.

PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION FOUND IN AIR AT HANFORD PLUTONIUM FABRICATION FACILITIES

Description: The conventional sampling methods of filtration and impaction are generally utilized in the collection of air samples at Hanford. In addition, a Goetz aerosol spectrometer is available for special studies. Particle-size determinations are made by autoradiographic studies making use of both optical and electron microscopes. A supplementary tool sometimes utilized is the Royco Particle Counter. The study included an analysis of the potential usefulness and the limitations of these air sample stud… more
