Rocket-Borne IR Scanning Radiometer for High Altitude Radiation Measurements

Description: Report describing a transistorized, scanning, filter radiometer designed for use in an Atlas piggy-back pod. The instrument is designed for moderately narrow-band measurements at 2.7, 3.5, 4.3, 4.7, and 6.3 microns of the irradiance arriving at the radiometer from the earth's atmosphere within a small field of view as a function of height above the true horizon. The measurements will be made while the vehicle is in the altitude range 3 x 100,000 to 10 to the 6th power feet. A fairly complete de… more

An Investigation Of Thermal Diffusion Separation Of U-232 - U-233 As An Alternate To Remote Processing

Description: Liquid phase thermal diffusion separation of U-232 - U-233 has been investigated as a possible alternative to remote processing. The calculations were based on a horizontal type thermal diffusion column operating 24 hours/day on the spent thorium fuel on one Consolidated Edison reactor, the latter producing 8 tons irradiated thorium/year.

Examinations of Pump Impellers From Sodium and Fused Salt Pump Endurance Tests

Description: Examinations of three Inconel pump impellers were made to establish the extent of cavitation damage and degree of carburization sustained during pump endurance tests. The pumps, two of which circulated fluoride salt and one sodium, had operated for the bulk of the test programs in the temperature range 1000-1250 deg F. Cavitation damage was manifested in each of the impellers by the formation of deep pits (in excess of 1/4-inch), the location of damaged areas varying with impeller geometry.

Neutron Multiplication Experiments with Enriched Uranium Metal in Slab Geometry

Description: The determination of critical dimensions of both individual units and arrays of units of fissionable material, in simple shapes and with minimal interference from supports, etc., has been a continuing program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In the experiments presently reported, uranium metal slabs were assembled, and although not made critical, produced sufficient source neutron multiplication to allow quite precise estimation of the critical thickness.

Plasma Accumulation in a Device Fed by Energetic Ion Trapping

Description: Simon (1960) has given a general steady state theory of plasma accumulation (without energy losses) in an OGRA device. Such a device is fed by injection of energetic molecular ions which dissociate to produce trapped protons. Initial trapping is achieved by dissociation in the background gas. Such a device is usually characterized by a critical input current of critical plasma density (a function of input current) above which plasma density builds up to a value limited by Coulomb-scattering los… more

Plutonium Release Incident at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Description: A nonnuclear explosion involving an evaporator occurred in a shielded cell in the Radiochemical Processing Pilot plant at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Plutonium released from the processing cell contaminated areas in the pilot plant building and nearby streets and building surfaces. The explosion is considered the result of rapid reaction of nitrated organic compounds formed by the inadvertent nitration of about 14 liters of a proprietary decontaminating reagent.

A Beam Profile Indicator with Solid State Detectors

Description: The instrument described in this paper was built with the purpose of providing a display of the profile of secondary beams from high energy accelerators. It is capable of handling 105 particles per cm2 per machine pulse, assuming a 20 msec spill. The profile is measured by an array of 32 semiconductor detectors, 4 nm apart and arranged in the form of a cross. The detectors count the individual impinging particles. The total numbers of counts on each detector are fed continuously to a multichann… more

Unclassified Research and Development Programs Executed for the Division of Reactor Development and the Division of Research April 1960

Description: A 19-rod Zircaloy-clad half-length PRTR spike element successfully irradiated to high plutonium burnout at full power in the ETR shoved partial bonding of the core and cladding. Unsatisfactory autoclave films on the Zircaloy cladding of the PRTR Al-Pu fuel elements are delaying final assembly of the first 30 clusters. Further conditioning of the autoclaves and the availability of permanent etching facilities are expected to correct the present difficulties.

EGCR Lattice Radial and Angular Power Distribution 2.6 w/o Enrichment

Description: The measurements reported here are companion measurements to those reported earlier in HW-63585. The only significant difference between the measurements is that 1.8 w/o enrichment UO2 fuel was used for the first set, and 2.6 w/o enrichment UO2 fuel was used for the measurements described in this report. The new results will be presented graphically, and for completeness, the details of the measurement will be included here as well as in HW-63585.
