Theoretical Investigation of the Effects of the Artificial-Feel System on the Maneuvering Characteristics of the F-89 Airplane

Description: The possibility of overshooting the anticipated normal acceleration as a result of the artificial-feel characteristics of the F-89C airplane at a condition of minimum static stability was investigated analytically by means of an electronic simulator. Several methods of improving the stick-force characteristics were studied. It is shown that, due to the lag in build-up of the portion of the stick force introduced by the bobweight, it would be possible for excessive overshoots of normal accelerat… more

Metallurgical Examination of HRT Leak Detector Tubing and Flanges

Description: After several failures had occurred in the HRT leak detector system, several lengths of this tubing were removed for metallurgical examination. The tubing was of type 304 stainless steel and was 1/4" in diameter with a 0.065 wall. The tubing had been purchased as three different lots, the first in 45 ft. lengths and the other two as standards lengths. Tubing from the first lot was used primarily for the shield penetration and, therefore, sections of it are present in all lines of the system. It… more

THREE NEW DELAYED ALPHA EMITTERS OF LOW MASS

Description: Two new positron active isotopes, B{sup 8} and Na{sup 20}, have been found to decay to excited states of Be{sup 8} and Ne{sup 20}, which in turn decay 'instantaneously' by alpha emission. Their half-lives are 0.65 {+-} 0.1 sec. and 1/4 sec. respectively. N{sup 12} is also found to have a low energy positron group which leads to an {alpha}-unstable excited state in C{sup 12}. The masses of B{sup 8} and Na{sup 20} are 8.027 and 20.015 respectively. B{sup 8} decays by a 13.7 {+-} 0.3 Mev positron,… more

Determination of Coefficients of Reactivity. Test Results DL-S-151 (T-550132). Section I. Fourth Performance

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the temperature and pressure coefficients of reactivity at sere power. The value for the temperature coefficient at the operating temperature of 523 F with 556.6 EFPH plant operation was 2.5 (delta E/F) x 16(-4). The magnitude of the temperature coefficient at the plant operating temperature (523 F) indicated the reactor is very stable during normal operations. The pressure coefficient varied from values of 1.41(deltaE/psig) x 10(-6) at 1437 psig to a.57… more

Department of Chemical Engineering Progress Report for September 1, 1957 Through June 30, 1958. Part I. Thermal Conductivity of Deuterium Oxide

Description: The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with l… more

A Pilot Plant for the Reduction of Uranium Hexafluoride to Uranium Tetrafluoride with Trichloroethylene

Description: Pilot plant experiments are described in which trichloroethylene was used for the reduction of uranium hexafluoride to uranium tetrafluoride. After unsatisfactory preliminary results with liquid phase reduction, satisfactory results were obtained with a vapor phase reduction system. It was found that vapor phase reduction at approximately 450 deg F, produced a low density product which contained only small quantities of uranium(VI); sintering the uranium tetrafluoride in a hydrogen fluoride atm… more

Description: The purpose of the test was to prove the integrity of the non-active drains, the special drains, the sanitary drains, the chemical waster drains and the storm water drains by means of a water flow test and visual inspection. The two roof boxes and the one floor drain of 1B Auxiliary Equipment Room did not drain properly. The lab sink in the west end of the Radiochemistry Lab drained to the Special Monitored West Transfer Tank instead of the Monitored Waster Transfer Tank. All other drains funct… more

Interpretation and Evaluation of the Uranium Occurences Near Goodsprings, Nevada: Final Report

Description: Abstract: The uranium occurrences near Goodsprings, Clark Co., Nevada, are divided into two distinct types which differ from each other in geographic distribution, localization of mineralization, mineralogy and origin. None of the known deposits is of present commercial significance and therefore this study emphasizes the genetic rather than the economic aspects.

ELECTRODEPOSITION OF NICKEL ON URANIUM

Description: Electrodeposited nickel coatings on uranium for protection from destructive corrosion in boiling water wns investigated. Correlation between the pretreatment of the uranium and subsequent protection by thin nickel coatings was established. Thin electrodeposited nickel coatings provide better protection when applied to a matte surface produced by blasting with an aqueous suspension of silica (100 mesh) followed by a cathodic treatment in 35 wt% sulfuric acid than when applied to the rough surfac… more
