710 Mockup No. 1 critical experiment. Summary data report

Description: Declassified 21 Sep 1973. A summary of the experiments associated with the three uniformly loaded core configurations related to the 710 Mockup 1 Critical Experiment Reactor is presented. These configurations mocked up specific features of the then current 710 reactor experiment design. The experimental areas included initial loading, neutron lifetime, fission ratios, reflector control methods, reactivity coefficients and power distribution measurements. A major portion of the effort was applie… more

ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE SL-1 EXCURSION. Final Report of Progress, July- October 1962

Description: Work was carried out to obtain significant data on reactor excursions, in particular the SL-1 excursion, to extend the analysis of reactor transient behavior so as to obtain an improved understanding of the thermal and mechanical processes that take place during and following a reactor excursion, and to obtain chemical, metallurgical, and nuclear data relative to the pre-accident performance of the SL-1. Laboratory investigations were made of samples of the SL-1 power plant. Results are given a… more

AN ALGOL 60 SYNTAX CHECKER FOR THE IBM 7090 COMPUTER

Description: A syntax checker was designed based on the syntax of Algol as previously described. It was desirable to design the syntax checker as a set of mutually recursive processors tied together by building blocks which perform certain bookkeeping functions. Because of the recursive nature of the language and of the syntax checker, the problem of recovery after an error required much attention. A method was devised which permits most programs to be checked completely despite errors. The syntax checker w… more

Analysis of E-N target conversion data

Description: Production efficiency studies of the E-N loading require that conversion ratio values for both plutonium and tritium be defined. Changing of the core-loading charge makeup with each core load to obtain a more efficient loading has theoretically resulted in increasing the tritium conversion ratio. Tritium recovery data from the third H Reactor E-N loading has recently become available for analysis. The buildup of product is much slower in fringe blanket material then in core target pieces. The s… more

ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF FRAGMENTS FROM FISSION INDUCED BY HEAVYIONS IN GOLD AND BISMUTH

Description: We present the results of measurements of the angular distribution of fission fragments produced by irradiation of Au{sup 197} and Bi{sup 209} with various heavy ions. The projectiles, B{sup 11}, C{sup 12}, N{sup 14}, and O{sup 16}, had energies from a few MeV above the Coulomb barrier to 10.4 MeV per nucleon. The gross features of these results can be explained by use of a model and parameters that have been used by others to account for angular distributions of fission fragments from helium-i… more

A catalog of ideas for underground yield determination

Description: Because of the persistent problem of convenient determination of underground yield, Certain `electromagnetically` oriented ideas in this area are summarized. They all require much more detailed study and evaluation, although one or two of them are inexpensive enough to perhaps warrant an empirical test. Methods discussed are: Vertical sounding of the Ionosphere; The electromagnetic `Magnetic Bubble` scheme; Non-resonant scattering; Resonant scattering; and The gravitational pulse.

CHARACTERIZATION OF UO$sub 2$ POWDERS. Quarterly Report No. 5, October 10, 1961 to January 10, 1962

Description: The particle size distribution of UO/sub 2/ powders gave good eorrelation with the sintered density of pellets. The method involves gravity sedimentation techniques. The green pressing step of pellet fabrication was found to affect the particle size distribution of the UO/sub 2/ powders. The magnitude of this effect is considered in characterization of the pressed powders. (J.R.D.)
