Vibrational Analysis of Unfired Horizontal Bayonet Tubes in a Fluidized Bed Calciner

Description: The heat exchanger of the calciner consists of a vessel into which unfired, horizontal, bayonet tubes extend in a fluidized bed. Strain measurements were taken on several of the tubes under simulated operating conditions and the associated dynamic stresses were calculated. Vibrations greater than design limitations for indefinite operation were found to exist. To restrict these vibrations and prevent further tube fatigue cracking, a tube support was installed. Since the installation of the supp… more

An Evaluation of the Uranium Contamination on the Surfaces of Alclad Uranium-Aluminum Alloy Research Reactor Fuel Plates

Description: Reported radioactivity in the Low-Intensity Test Reactor (LITR) water coolant traceable to uranium contamination on the surfaces of the alclad uranium-- aluminum plate-tyne fuel element led to an investigation to determine the sources of uranium contamination on the fuel plate surfaces. Two possible contributors to surface contamination are external sources such as rolling-mill equipment, the most obvious, and diffusion of uranium from the uranium-aluminum alloy fuel into the aluminum cladding.… more

Measurement of Xenon Poisoning in the HRT

Description: Measurements obtained during three periods of HRT operations indicated that the xenon poison fraction was approximately 0.010. The technique used was based on mass spectrographic analyses of the stable xenon isotopes in the reactor off-gas stream. Models proposed to explain the measurements show that xenon, which is formed primarily by decay of iodine adsorbed on the pipe walls, is held up on the walls, out of the circulating stream, for an average period of about eight hours.

A Bond-Cell Method for Complex Molecules and Metals

Description: This technical report introduces "some approximations into the basic quantum mechanical theory" so that the theory of the covalent bond and the molecular orbital method "can be combined into one which will yield quantitative rather than qualitative binding energies and cohesive energies and also distinct energy levels and band structure." This approach will provide a common method "suitable to both solid state physicists and physical chemists, for calculating the energy levels in metals and com… more

Summary status report internal corrosion of ribbed aluminum process tubes

Description: The increasing incidence of leaking process tubes, and the approaching end of the useful life of process tubes in the C and K Reactors, have focused attention upon the various sources of aluminum process tube leaks. Further, the replacement of large numbers of process tubes with new ones, also of aluminum, will require continued attention to these sources to make efficient use of the new tubes. One of the sources of process tube leaks is the corrosion that attacks the interior surface of the pr… more

Review of reactor graphite distortion problems

Description: The purpose of this document is primarily to discuss the effects of current retubing programs on the graphite moderator of the K Reactors. A secondary purpose of this report is to present general information related to graphite arrangement and keying patterns at the other operating reactors and to review, in a limited way, the types of graphite distortion observed at these reactors.

Photoelastic study: Rover flange and clamp

Description: This two-dimensional photoelastic study was performed as a means of determining what effect a notch at the base of the flanges had on the strength of these parts. These notches were proposed as a means of clamping the shield and reflectors. The objective of this test was to determine the amount of increased stress in the flange and clamp at the required locations.

The Biological Effects of heavy Cosmic Ray Particles

Description: Technical report investigates creating a microbeam of deuterons to simulate cosmic rays and the results of brain irradiation, irradiation of the eye, and irradiation of hair follicles of mice. The report's conclusion was that "astronauts exposed to heavy primary particles over a period of some weeks would be expected to develop gray hairs, but this is the only significant biological damage they would suffer."

Technical criteria and bases for a zirconium-tubed K Reactor

Description: The criteria contained in this report have been established to provide the technical bases for the design modifications involved in the K-Reactor tube replacement. The ultimate intent of these criteria is to provide the basic technical data and concepts to assure: technical feasibility and operability of the reactor system as modified; operation of the reactor and its services to minimize nuclear and radiation hazards; and appropriate lifetime of the reactor and its service facilities as modifi… more

Corrosion Behavior of Reactor Materials in Fluoride Salt Mixtures

Description: Molten fluoride salts, because of their radiation stability and ability to contain both Th and U, offer important advantages as high-temperature fuel solutions for nuclear reactors and as media suitable for nuclear fuel processing. Both applications have stimulated experimental and theoretical studies of the corrosion processes by which molten salt mixtures attack potential reactor materials. Corrosion experiments with fluoride salts which were conducted in support of the Molten-Salt Reactor E … more

PREPARATION AND FABRICATION OF ThO$sub 2$ FUELS

Description: Dense partricles of ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ were prepared by a sol-gel process and vibratorily compacted into metal tubes to a density approaching 9.0 g/ cc. The steps in this method are all simple and can be carried out behind shielding, which is necessary for refabricating U/sup 233/ fuels. The sol-gel process consists of preparing a hydrous thoria sol, adding the U/sup 233/ as nitrate solution, evaporating to a gel, and finally calcining to almost theoretically dense oxide particles at orly 115… more

Water treatment program - old reactors

Description: Conclusions resulting from a recent corrosion study, together with evidence of graphite damage possibly occurring during retubing operations (having obvious implications in regard to reactor life), initiated a critical assessment of the water treatment process. This study was undertaken to determine whether immediate or near-term process changes could be made at the older reactors to minimize aluminum corrosion without causing adverse effects in other areas.
