The Application of Wax Laps to Vibratory Polishers

Description: From introduction: "In this paper the adaptation of the wax lab surface vibratory polisher is described. The wax lap requires little maintenance during the life of the lap. It is not necessary to remove any of the holding devices on the bowl to clean and recondition the lap. The bowl is merely washed out, recharged and placed in operation. The wax lap will not wrinkle or tear, nor is it necessary to change it each day such as the silk or nylon cloths."

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."

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

Cell Population Studies on the Intestine of Continuously Irradiated Rats

Description: This technical report introduces a new method to capture entire cell populations in the intestines of rats, which have been continuously exposed to radiation.This report finds that the "total number of cells per crypt found after 5 days of irradiation decreases with increasing dose rate." This report includes four figures and two tables detailing findings.

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

The effect of fringe poison on heat generation in the shield complex

Description: The existing Hanford production reactors are enveloped by a graphite reflector, a cast iron thermal shield, and a biological shield consisting either of laminations of iron and masonite or of high density concrete. Cooling tubes were bonded into grooves in the cast iron thermal shield blocks with lead. As the graphite moderator continues to contract as a function of exposure, it is felt that the bond between the cooling tubes and the top cast iron blocks will be broken since these blocks are su… more

EOCR CONTROL ROD AND DRIVER FUEL HYDRAULIC TESTS

Description: The EOCR prototype control rod, control rod drive, and driver fuel assembly were extensively tested in 500 deg F Santowax and 132 deg F water. These tests not only established the operating characteristics of these assemblies but also revealed a number of deficiencies in the various components. The modifications required were tested to establish the satisfactory performance of the modified components. Flow versus pressure differential measurements were performed on the driver fuel and the contr… 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

Gcr-Orr Loop No. 2 Filter Tests. Part Ii

Description: Tests of Cambridge absolute filters, Model Sl-071, specified for use in the GCR-ORR Loop No. 2 as full-flow, primary coolant fiiters were completed. kD.O.P/ (dioctylphthalate) efficiency tests were performed on three filters in the as-received condition, on two filters following canning and thermal cycling, and on one of the canned fiIters following bsking out. None of the three units met the design criteria of 99.97% efficiency for removal of 0.3 micron particles in the as-received condition. … more
