Pile Neutron Production Field Curves Calculated Using the UCRL Differential Analyzer

Description: A set of 69 pile yield curves for the production of plutonium, americium, and curium isotopes in a neutron flux of 5 x 10<sup>14 cm<sup>-2 sec<sup>-1 is given. The differential analyzer of the University of California Radiation Laboratory was used in obtaining the curves. The curves are given also on log-log plots for comparison.

Determination of Flux Levels in Neutron Detector Wells. Section II. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-242, T-641311

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the neutron flux level in a BF3 counter well during the second performance of DL-S-225. The measured activity of the irradiation brass bolt was due entirely to the radioactive decay of Zn65. The thermal neutron flux in the BF3 counter well during the second 1000 hour run was calculated to be 2.5 x 10(9) neutrons/cm2 sec.

Final Report, Design Test PR-20 Calandria Characteristics

Description: Design Test Request PR-20 Calandria Characteristics, outlined the need for experimental data concerning the performance of the calandria under transient conditions. Test data was required to confirm that the moderator dump system would drop the level the required 24 inches in less than one second. The original calandria dump chamber design was modified until the criteria was met. This information is recorded in HW-58333, Interim Report, Design Test PR-20, Calandria Characteristics, which lists … more

Loss of Level in D/P Cell Reference Chambers. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-279 (RNI-23)

Description: The purpose of the test is to determine the reason for the decreases in the liquid levels of the reference chambers serving the reactor plant remote liquid level indicators. The remote gages and the local liquid level gages agreed closely for the Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Expansion Tank and the Coolant Discharge and Vent System flash tank and blow-off tank. There appeared to be no loss of water from the D/P cell reference chambers for these two systems over the period of the test. … more
