Study Of Outage Experience With Selected Boiler And Turbine Generator Units

Description: Because of consideration that is being given to the feasibility of building small nuclear power plants to operate for one to three years with no attention or maintenance it was decided to appraise the degree of reliability that might be anticipated in conventional systems. A preliminary study was made of outages in both common header turbine generator and the unit-type boiler-turbine generator plants. Data from portions of the operating periods for the 187 unit TVA system and the 14 unit ORGDP … more

UO2 Fuel Cluster Study

Description: The reactor physics aspects of a number of different UO2 cluster geometries were determined as a function of various parameters. These parameters included number of rods in cluster, cladding materials, cladding thickness, cored and uncored rods, lattice pitch, rod size, and inter-rod spacing. Lifetime calculations were made on the basis of batch loading and uniform exposure for 5000 and 7500 Mwd/MT-UO2.

Calculation of Radial Neutron-Flux Distribution in EGCR Lattice Cell

Description: The Neutron-flux distributions in an EGCR cell containing seven rod clusters of 2.0 and 2.6% enriched uranium oxide have been obtained by using a one-velocity, one-dimensional P-3 solution to the neutron-transport equation and adjusting fluxes in the fuel cluster in a manner which is consistent with previous comparisons of experimental and calculated distributions. Flux traverses in the outer rod perpendicular to a diameter of the cluster are also presented.

Thiomethyladenosine

Description: The mechanism of thiomethyladenosine accumulation in yeast was studied by attempting to substitute homocysteine methylmercaptane methylmercaptoethanol and methylome captopropionaldehyde for methionine as a specific precursor. Negative results militate against transmethylation as the underlying mechanism. Tracer studies with methyl-C14- and and S35-labeled methionine suggest transthiomethylation with intermediate formation of a thetin-like compound tentatively termed methionyladenosine. The occu… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report for March 15, 1951 to September 1, 1951. Steady State Transients in Nuclear Resonance and the Nuclear Relaxation time. T2, for Hydrocarbons

Description: The Bloch formulation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is applied to a repeated pulsing of the external electromagnetic field H1. The steady-state solution is shown to predict the existence of sidebands, a mirror signal, and magnetic field inhomogeneity effects. All of these effects ae shown to be verified experimentally, thus strengthening the ap0plicibility of the Block formulation to transient problems. The solution given was used to determine T2 from the observed transient signals for liquid h… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report III for 1 September 1951 to 15 March, 1952. Determination of the Accuracy of the Infinitely Repeated Pulse Method and the Observed Effects of Molecular Self Diffusion in Liquids

Description: The range of measurements of nuclear magnetic resonance by the infinitely repeated pulse method is higher than the slow passage method of Bloch. As the measurements approach 10-1 seconds the effect of viscosity or self diffusions becomes important. For liquid hydrocarbons this effect is such as to make the previously measured values for liquid hydrocarbons subject to severe revision. Several possibilities have recently become apparent for making this improvement.

14-Year 113Cd

Description: The half lives of Cd/sup 113m/ and Cd/sup 115m/ have been redetermined to be 14 sintering time 2 years and 44.2 sintering time 0.5 days, respectively. The ratio of Cd/sup 113m/Cd/sup 115m/ yields from thermal-neutron fission of U/sup 235/ is 0.27 sintering time 0.03, and the ratio of (n, ) formation cross sections is 0.31 sintering time 0.03. Combination of these ratios with literature values for the Cd/sup 115m/ fission yield and (n, ) formation cross section gives (1.9 sintering time 0.2) x 1… more

Functions of Aging. Insolubilization of Protein as a Function of Aging. Final Report

Description: Whole-body x irradiation was used to accelerate the onset of senescence in female white rats. Comparisons of nonirradiated and irradiated tissues have been made using histological, physical, and enzyme techniques. The data amassed to date indicate that x irradiation causes a reduction of 20.6 percent in alpha- amino nitrogen liberated by tryptic hydrolysis in liver homogenates. This reduction in amino nitrogen is not observed, however, in muscle homogenates. Shrinkage temperature determinations… more

Radiation Chemistry of Organic Substances. Final Report for 1 January 1957 to 31 January 1959

Description: The chemical processing of reactor fuels involves the use of organic substances as extracting agents and as diluents. When most organic substances ae exposed to reactor fuel, radiation damage occurs. The objectives of this project were to provide more information regarding damage to hydrocarbon solvents which are similar to those used as solvents in the Thorex program and to determine if the radiation-damaged diluent has a pronounced deleterious effect upon the extraction process.
