Critical-Assembly Experiments on a Reflector Control System for a Boiling Reactor

Description: Research directed toward an evaluation of a reflector control scheme for a small boiling heterogeneous reactor is reported. The control method uses the ambient reactor steam pressure to adjust the height of a radial water reflector. Critical-assembly experiments were conducted to measure the reflector worth and the effect of nonhomogeneous voids. The critical-assembly core approximated a right circular cylinder 24 in. high and 21 in. in diameter. The core was made up of polyethylene strips to s… more

Design and economic study of hot off-gas storage system

Description: From introduction: "One of the most important factors which must be considered in the chemical processing of spent fuel elements is the safe and economic disposal of gaseous radioactive fission product wastes given off in the fuel element dissolution operation. For this reason work is underway at ORNL to study the various gas disposal methods that might be used to handle the radioactive fission product gases, krypton, xenon, and iodine."

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

Semi-Annual Summary Research Report in Metallurgy for January-June 1957

Description: Study of the equilibrium phases which exist in Mg-rich alloys of the Mg-- U--Th system was continued. The precipitation of thorium as thorium dihydride from thorium-magnesium solutions was investigated over the temperature range 665 to 810 deg C. Soft, ductile niobium metal can be prepared by mixing essentially stoichiometric quantities of Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/ and carbon, but slight deviation from stoichiometry yielded metal which was hard and non-ductile. The Zn vapor pressures over a number of Z… more

Effects of vertical location of wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.40 of an airplane configuration with an unswept wing

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effects of vertical location of an unswept wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of a wing-body-tail combination. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3.09, a taper ratio of 0.39, the quarter-chord line swept back 11.5 degrees, and biconvex sections.
