Penetration Effects in Magnetic-Dipole L-shell Internal Conversion

Description: Internal-conversion coefficients may be thought of as consisting of two parts: a usually dominant part which depends only on the atomic number and the nuclear transition energy, and a usually small part depending explicitly on nuclear transition matrix elements. This latter part arises from the penetration of the converting atomic electrons within the transforming nucleus.

A Simple Theory of the Process P+P → D+W+

Description: The discovery of the vector meson which mediates the weak interactions, W,1 would be of extreme importance for weak interaction physics and for field theory in general. The W, if it exists, will be made in a variety of processes such as v+N →W+ + e- + N, or n- + P →W- + P, or, as studied in this note, P + P → D + W+. The W couples to leptons with a dimensionless constant [constant not transcribed] where G is the Feral constant defined t=so that [constant not transcribed]. Thus for [equation not… more

Some Further Remarks on Beam Current Measurements in the AGS

Description: A previous report on this subject (Brookhaven National Laboratory, AGS Internal Report, ECR-4) described in detail the methods of measuring the injected and accelerated proton currents in the Brookhaven AGS up to May 1961. At that time the accelerated current was measured by extracting the bunch frequency component of the signal given by a pair of radial position observation electrodes. The injected current was also determined by the signal induced on a similar pair of radial position electrode… more

Internal graphite moderator forces study, C and K Reactors

Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum forces that can be imposed by the graphite moderator on prospective VSR channel sleeves. In order to do this, both the origins and modes of transmission of the forces were determined. Forces in the moderator stack that are capable of acting on a block or group of blocks may originate from any of the following primary effects: Contraction of graphite due to irradiation; thermal expansion of graphite; frictional resistance to motion; resistan… more

Loading, operating conditions, and water shutoff times for a charge of twelve 17-inch N inner fuel tubes or twelve 18-inch U-2 w/o Zr elements, PT-IP-536-A and PT-IP-536-A, Supplement B

Description: Production test IP-536-A authorizes the irradiation of N Reactor inner fuel tubes in KER-1 and KER-2. Supplement B, PT-IP-536-A, authorizes the irradiation of N Reactor inner fuel tubes prepared from a U-2 w/o Zr alloy. Both tests require that specific operating conditions and trip settings for particular loadings be approved by the managers of the Process and Reactor Development Sub-Section and the Process Technology Sub-Section prior to charging. The purpose of this document is to provide the… more

Economic analysis of 10-inch and 12-inch fuel element production for three separate conditions

Description: Three conditions representing various quantities of 10-inch and/or 12-inch fuel elements were presented by the Industrial Engineering Group, IPD, as a basis for initial estimates of economic incentive to partially convert the Production Fuels Section AlSi process to longer fuel elements for FY 1964. An earlier study (Ref. 1) pertained to 10-inch instead of 6-inch enriched fuels. The comparatively larger quantities of the 4 in. longer fuel for full E-N loading showed a larger payout than for the… more

Effect of Massive Neutron Exposure on the Distortion of Reactor Graphite

Description: Distortion of reactor-grade graphites was studied at varying neutron exposures ranging up to 14 x 10/sup 21/ neutrons per cm/sup 2/ (nvt)/sup */ at temperatures of irradiation ranging from 425 to 800 deg C. This exposure level corresponds to approximately 100,000 megawatt days per adjacent ton of fuel (Mwd/ At) in a graphite-moderated reactor. A conventionalcoke graphite, CSF, and two needle-coke graphites, NC-7 and NC-8, were studied. At all temperatures of irradiation the contraction rate of … more

A PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF THE FORMATION AND UTILIZATION OF TEXTURE AND ANISOTROPY IN ZIRCALOY-2

Description: The anisotropy of mechanicai properties in Zircaloy-2 associated with preferred orientation developed during manufacture has caused many difficulties in the fabrication and utilization of mill products. A preliminary examination of the development and utilization of texture preparatory to an experimental study of anisotropy in Zircaloy-2 tubing is presented. The development of preferred orientation during manufacture of Zircaloy-2 plate, strip, and tubing is qualitatively analyzed in terms of t… more

Summary of BeO Development Work for the Experimental Beryllium Oxide Reactor Program

Description: The Experimental Beryllium Oxide Reactor is described. The configurations and properties of BeO blocks are discussed. Various BeO shapes were fabricated and tested. BeO specimens of selected compositions and densities were irradiated. Dimensional changes due to radiation were in the range below 1.4% as determined from micrometer measurements. Some of the specimens in the highest exposure region of the capsule exhibited radial fractures. (M.C.G.)

Nucleon-Meson Cascade Calculations: Transverse Shielding for a 45-Gev Electron Accelerator. Part Ii

Description: In a previous report nucleon-meson cascade calculations were carried out for several cases of interest in the design of the transverse shield for the proposed 45-Bev linear electron accelerator at Starford University. In this report results are given for several additional cases. Muon, neutron, pion, and proton intensities as function of energy and distance for varying angles are given. Corresponding doses are also included. (D.C.W.)

Annealing of Gamma Ray Induced Changes in Antimony Doped Germanium

Description: An investigatiori of the annealing of the radioinduced carrier concentration change in Sb-doped Ge in the range 370 to 455 l K was made. The irradiations were conducted at liquid nitrogen temperature using Co/ sup 60/ gamma irradiation. A model that explains the observed behavior is presented. On the basis of the model, the observed annealing consists of vacancy diffusion simultaneously to impurity sites and annihilation centers. Analysis of the activation energy for the annealing process yield… more

Laboratory development of a process for recovering uranium from Rover fuel by combustion, liquid-phase chlorination with hexachloropropene, and aqueous extraction

Description: Declassified 24 Sep 1973. The purpose of this work was to develop a process for recovering the uranium from spent Rover fuels. Only one reactor is used, and the process involves a 4-hr combustion of the fuel in oxygen at about 800 deg C, a 4-hr chlorination of the U/sub 3/O/sub 8/-Nb/ sub 2/O/sub 5/ ash in refluxing hexachloropropene at 180 deg C, dissolution-extraction of the UCl/sub 4/ and NbCl/sub 5/ products at room temperature by dilute nitric acid, and extraction of the uranium from the r… more

Mound Laboratory Progress Report for June 1963

Description: 3 8 ; 9 4 5 7 5 C 9 E ; < : 7over a 1456-day period. The half life was calculated to be 12.355 plus or minus 0.0l0 years, based on measurements in three calorimeters. The yields of /sup 208/Po and /sup 209/Po from the irradiation of multicurie quantities of /sup 210/Po were calculated. Production of small quantities of /sup 208/Po and /sup 209/Po is possible by the (n,xn) reaction; however, large quantities of /sup 210/Po would be present in the /sup 208/Po--/sup 209/Po sample. On the basis of … more
