Temperature and flow data EBWR fuel rod bundles, C Reactor, February 6, 1965 to January 15, 1966

Description: This report provides for each process tube the coolant flow rat (gpm) and temperature drop ({degrees}C) for the process tube containing the fuel rod bundles and for the four nearest neighboring process tubes. Reactor shutdown and startup times are also given. Peak thermal neutron flux in the adjacent fuel can be calculated.

Prestressed Concrete Reactor Vessel Model 1

Description: From introduction: The goal of engineers associated with nuclear power plants is the achievement of safe plants with low generating costs.One possible means of lowering costs is to increase the power generating capability for a single generating unit. To accomplish this, the sizes of nuclear reactors have been increased.

Geologic section and hydrologic observations at station 1A, Tatum salt dome, Lamar County, Mississippi

Description: Station 1A was the emplacement hole for the nuclear device used in the Advanced Research Project Agency's and U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's 5-kT nuclear Salmon Event of October 22, 1964. The hole penetrated the Pascagoula and Hattiesburg Formations, undifferentiated, and the Catahoula Sandstone, all of Miocene age, before entering the caprock at a depth of 882 feet. In continued through the calcite, gypsum, and anhydrite units of the caprock, which extend to a depth of 1,469.5 feet,… more

Interim report on the effect of hot die size process variables upon grain growth in aluminum alloy 8001 cladding

Description: Three hot die size (HDS) fuel elements charged for the HDS equivalency test, PT-IP-781-A, failed during irradiation (August, 1965) as a result of severe ledge and groove corrosion. Examination of comparison pieces revealed that ledge and groove corrosion was the most severe at the top of the downstream end of the downstream ten pieces as positioned in the process tube. In the case of HDS fuel, the downstream end is the top or cap end of the piece as it is fabricated. It was speculated that ledg… more

Process water treatment for reactor effluent activity control: Budget study

Description: The purpose of this study is to provide budgetary data for modifying and monitoring the present water treatment process at B, C, D, KE, and KW reactor plants to effect a reduction in the activity of the reactor effluent water discharged to the Columbia River. The study is subdivided into three parts: facilities for sodium silicate addition at each reactor water plant, on-plant facilities for the manufacture and supply of sodium silicate, and instrumentation for monitoring the water treatment pr… more

Surveillance photography. Technical memorandum L-164

Description: The surveillance photography of underground nuclear detonations at NTS was engineered by EG&G to furnish the following information on unexpected venting: (1) establish when, with respect to zero time, the venting occurred; (2) record the point or points of emission of the venting gases; (3) show the colors, if any, of the venting gases; (4) the direction of cloud travel; and (5) dimensions and volume of the cloud as a function of time. In addition, the film records provide a color documentary f… more

Fuel failure Lot KY-928-Q D Reactor

Description: On February 13, D Reactor sustained a bumpered enriched fuel element failure in process tube 3289. The element failed in the twenty-first position from the rear of the charge and was from lot KY-928-Q. Visual examination of the failed element indicated the failure mechanism to be cleavage of the uranium core. This conclusion was substantiated in part by the appearance of ``worm tracks`` in the aluminum jacket. The fuel failure was detected approximately three hours after the reactor had resumed… more

Almost Exact Sum Rules for Nucleon Moments From An Infinite Dimensional Algebra

Description: Recently there has been a great surge of interest in almost-exact sum rules for the magnetic moments of nucleons. (By almost-exact we mean: exact to all orders in the strong couplings but only the lowest order in electromagnetic and weak couplings.) Besides providing a means for calculation of the magnetic moments on the same level as the calculation of GA/GV by Adler and Weisberger these sum rules, taken together with the Adler-Weisberger sum rule, constitute a useful tool for investigating th… more

Section on Salt and Adrenals

Description: There is no evidence to suggest that the adrenal medulla plays a significant role in the production or maintenance of renal hypertension. The decisive experiment was made by Goldblatt and collaborators/who successfully produced experimental hypertension in dogs by renal artery constriction despite the surgical removal of·one entire adrenal and the medulla of the other.
