Development of Techniques for Power Production From Mixed Fission Products

Description: "Progress is reported on Phase II of a program for the development of a mixed fission product fueled thermoelectric generator. Materials studies are described in which bonded assemblies of bismuth telluride were life tested up to 3000 hours at 350 to 400 deg F hot junction temperature. Data were too inconsistent to define any satisfactory long-life bonding process. Further work is needed to eliminate the process variables. Insulation studies aimed at determining the thermal conductivity of vari… more

Hazards Report for PM-2A Core II

Description: Abstract: This technical report describes the changes incurred in the PM-2A by the planned insertion of PM-2A Core II and the replacement of the startup and check sources. PM-2A Core II components were fabricated to specifications very nearly identical to those of PM-2A Core I. The essential difference in the cores is the boron loading which permits PM-2A Core II to meet a "one-stuck rod criteria" at beginning of life. This core has been subjected to a zero power experiment and loading procedur… more

αZ Correction to the Bethe-Maximon Pair Production Cross Section

Description: From abstract: "The first order correction in αZ to the Bethe-Maximon pair production cross section is calculated for the case where the incident photon and one of the electrons has an energy much greater than mc2. Comparison of these calculations to the experimental data of Plimpton and Hammer shows an improvement ina greement between theory and experiment of approximately a factor of 1+(αZ4π/15) for low positron kinetic energies. However, for positron kinetic energies of the order of 1 Mev no… more

Electrical Properties of the Tungsten Bronzes

Description: From abstract: "The electrical resistivity of NaxWO3, LixWO3, and KxWO3 has been measured at 300°K. The range of x-values was 0.25 < x < 0.9. All resistivities were characteristic of a metal and lie on a single curve. An extrapolation of the conductivity curve to zero conductivity indicated that the tungsten bronzes should be semiconductors for x < 0.25. The resistivities that have been measured for tungsten bronzes with x < 0.25 showed semiconducting behavior. The resistivity of LixWO3 exhibit… more

The Vapor Pressures of VCl2, VCl3, VBr2, and VBr3 by Knudsen Effusion

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The vapor pressures of crystalline VCl2, VBr2, VCl3 and VBr3 have been measured by the Knudsen effusion method using pyrex and Vycor effusion cells. ... During the measurements on VCl3 and VBr3 dissociation and disproportionation of the samples occurred simultaneously with the simple vaporization. However, because the product of each of these processes was collected separately during an experiment, the vapor pressure due to sublimation was obtained without dif… more

Cosmic Rays From Large Supernovae

Description: The theory of the hydrodynamic origin of cosmic rays proposed by Johnson and the author (Colgate) has developed to the point where the final evolution of a star to the supernova instability and subsequent explosion can be described with sufficient detail such that cosmic rays with appropriate intensity, composition, and spectrum to account for observations are a logical and necessary result. In the first publication it was pointed out that nuclei in the surface of the star may acquire many orde… more

Servo System for Magnetic Controlled Constant Intensity Flat Top Beam Spill-Out

Description: A uniform intensity flat top spill-out cannot be obtained by manual control for two reasons: 1. The horizontal density of the internal beam of the Cosmotron is far from uniform. As a result, a manually controlled linear motion of the internal beam into a target will result in a non-uniform spill-out intensity. 2. Stability requirements of the Cosmotron magnet voltage are not easily met without feedback because of inherent component stability. The proposed servo system will sense the external be… more

Production of Mg28 - State of the Art

Description: Sheline and Johnson made Mg28 through the reactions Si30(γ,2p)Mg28 and Mg26(α,2p)Mg28 in order to characterize and determine a decay scheme for the new nuclide. Lendner separated a magnesium fraction from the spallation products of the irradiation of chlorine, as sodium chloride, with 340-MeV protons. The 21-h activity that was present was deduced to be Mg28 from the 2.3-m half-life of the Al28 that was milked from it, as Sheline and Johnson had done.

The Pilot Plant Operation of a Vertical Tube, Recirculating Dissolver for the Dissolution of Uranium Dioxide in Nitric Acid

Description: The need for criticality control in the proposed reprocessing of slightly enriched non-production fuels at Hanford has led to the development of a geometrically "safe", vertical tube, recirculating dissolver. A study of the nitric acid dissolution of uranium dioxide in a pilot plant dissolver of this type is reported here. The study was pointed toward the comparison of uranium dioxide dissolution rates in a batch and a recirculating dissolver and the definition of hydraulic problems associated … more

Preliminary Analog Computer Study of the Small EGCR In-Pile Loops

Description: The ORNL analog computer was used to simulate four widely different experiment conditions in the small EGCR in-pile loops. Various control and safety systems were evaluated in each case. Curves are included which show the response to postulated accidents and component failures. The results indicate that one standard control and safety system will probably be adequate for a wide variety of test conditions.
