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

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

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
