9-ANGIE : a Two-Dimensional, Multigroup, Neutron-Diffusion-Theory Reactor Code for the IBM 709 or 7090

Description: The 9-ANGIE, one of a series of reactor neutronic programs for an IBM 709 or 7090 data processing system, solves the time-dependent, multi-group, neutron diffusion equation for one to eighteen energy groups applied to a rectangular mesh superimposed on either an x-y or an r-z plane. It is characterized by its generalities in region description, boundary conditions, etc., without sacrificing simplicity of input preparation and ease of machine operation. The notation, the style, and the format ha… more

Analog Stimulation of HRP In-Pile Slurry Loop Facility in the LITR

Description: An analog simulation is made of the HRP in-pile slurry loop in the LITR. The radiolytic gas pressure in the pressurizer is determined. This pressure is a result of the generation of radiolytic gas in the loop core. A graphical result is obtained showing the effect of catalyst activity and pressurizer flow rate on the pressure rise from radiolytic gas. The thermal behavior of the system is studied, and the response to various controller settings is predicted. Controller settings very near optimu… more

Analysis of E-N loadings

Description: Three E-N loaded tubes were dissolved, sampled and analyzed, starting November 9, 1960. The results of these analyses and an explanation of the methods used are the subject of this report. Each tube loading received an identification code in each facility in which it was processed. All of these codes are listed for future reference. Each batch of slugs was dissolved in a preflushed dissolver. When complete solution was indicated by a leveling off of the specific gravity, two 1 ml samples were t… more

The Boundary Layer Between a Plasma and a Magnetic Field - I

Description: "The problem of a steady boundary layer or sheath between a plasma and a magnetic field is considered. A self-consistent transition layer is found which joins a uniform magnetic field at plus infinity with a collisionless field-free plasma region with arbitrary velocity distribution at minus infinity, i.e., a magnetic field profile is found such that the exact particle orbits in this field produce a current which gives rise to this field. An interesting feature of the solution is that, with any… more

Chemical Techinology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, April 1960

Description: Experiments showed that 30% tributyl phosphate will not extract acid- deficient species of uranyl nitrate. Flooding throughputs for the Mark I stacked- clone contactor ranged from 600 cc/min organic at zero aqueous to 60 cc/min organic at 1950 cc aqueous. A large electronic vibrator of 5000-lb thrust was found somewhat inferior to pneumatic vibration for compacting oxide fuels into stainless-steel tubes. Tests were started on the use of fixed-bed CuO oxidizers for removing hydrogen contaminatio… more

Contoured I&E sleeves

Description: The feasibility of contoured I&E cans for production use has been demonstrated using our present flat base I&E sleeve (HW-37187). Studies by Process Engineering and Quality Control have shown that only a material savings would result from the use of only the contoured I&E can. Consideration was then given to the use of contoured sleeves (H-3-16879) to improve the contact areas and the resulting heat transfer during fuel assembly.

Conversion ratio incentive for usig black mint in an E-N load

Description: This report details the proposed E-N, tritium-plutonium producing reactor loading is made up of striped columns of lithium-aluminum (mint) target slugs and enriched uranium (.947 w/o U{sup 235}) slugs. Both target and uranium slugs are of the I & E geometry. The ratio of mint (N) to uranium (E) is determined by the requirement of sufficient k-excess to sustain an operable reactor. The designer of the lattice loading has a choice between natural lithium (7-5 w/o Li{sup 6}) or lithium enriched to… more

[Curly Broyles & band]

Description: Photograph of a band playing on a television set. The band consists of seven men. From left to right the men are playing: a piano, a cello, a banjo, a trombone, a trumpet, drums, and a flute. There are multiple microphones set up, two on stands and one hanging over the piano. The banjo player is sitting on a stool, and the piano player on a bench. The drums are set up on a raised platform. Behind the band is a wall with stripes and arrows across it.

Determination of Interstitial Solid-Solubility Limit in Tantalum and Identification of the Precipitate Phases

Description: Solid-solubility limits at 1500, 1000, snd 500/sup o/C for carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in high-punity tantalum were determined by x-ray lattice- parameter methods. For carbon, the solubility was found to be 0.17 at. % at 1500/sup o/C and less than 0.07 at. % at l00/sup o/C. A nitrogen solubility of 3.70 at. % at l500/sup o/C decreased linearly with temperature to 2.75 at. % at 1000/sup o/C and 1.8 at. % at 500/sup o/C. In the case of oxygen, the solubility was found to be 3.65 at. % at 1500/su… more

Development of Pressures Tubing for the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor

Description: Pressurized water nuclear reactors may be designed based upon either of two concepts: (1) pressure vessel, wherein the entire core is placed in a large, high strength fuel channels within a low pressure container. The Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor is a pressure tube type reactor. Selection of this basic type of pressurized water reactor depended to an appreciable extent upon the availability of suitable pressure tubing.

Expansion to 4.0 capacity factor: Purex Engineering Study

Description: The Purex Plant was originally designed to operate at a instantaneous rate of 8-1/3 tons of uranium per 24-hour day on a three-cycle flowsheet. Subsequently, the rate was increased to 26-2/3 T/day and the process changed to a two-cycle flowsheet. Recently, flowsheet changes made for neptunium recovery and replacements of certain critical equipment items have altered the plant`s capacity. The status of the plant is discussed in the Continuity of Operations, Plant Improvement Program, Reference 1… more

High Current Pulsed Electron Accelerator

Description: The most important component required for the Astron experimental facility is a high energy, high current, pulsed electron accelerator. A thin cylindrical layer of high energy electrons trapped within an axially symmetric magnetic field is the key feature of the Astron thermonuclear device. The trapping magnetic field is constant in time. Therefore, it is not possible to inject electrons and trap the electrons in this field unless during the injection phase a part of the electron energy is abso… more
