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.

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.

Mechanisms of Surface Adsorption in Homogeneous Reactor Loops. Semi- Annual Report No. 2 for 1 July to 31 December, 1957

Description: Homogeneous reactor operating conditions in which solids and deposits are formed on loops were examined. Methods of removing existing deposits are also considered. Experiments were conducted to study the characteristics of solids and deposits on type-347 stainless steel and on Zircaloy-2 specimens using simulated homogeneous reactor solutions in a rocking autoclave. Ferric and chromic sulfate were added to the solution in some of the tests to form solids by hydrolysis. Four tests were run at 30… 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

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

Station Start-up Test. Test Results DL-S-163 (T-554923). Section 1

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the station operating characteristics during a start-up with all reactor coolant loops initially cold, requiring chemical addition and the turbine cold. The plant was successfully taken from a cold condition to generator synchronizing in accordance with Volume I, Chapter 43, Station Start-up no. 1. Twice during the test malfunctioning equipment delayed the completion of the test. The 1B boiler drum level indication required repair work and the 1D loop wa… more

Calculation of the G Factor for Gas Scattering Experiments

Description: The "G factor'' relating the yield to the beam intensity, target density, and scattering cross section is calculated for several types of aperture boundaries. The case of a front aperture composed of two parallel edges of infinite height with a rear aperture of any shape is calculated up to terms in the fourth derivative of the cross section. (W.D.M.)

Steady State Performance of a Thermal Circulation Loop Containing a Parallel Path Heat Sink

Description: The steady-state performance of thermal circulation loops with parallel path heat sinks has been studied to determine what the system design and arrangement objectives are for such a loop. Though all heat sink paths may have thermal centers above the heat source thermal center, flow reversal through some of the paths may nevertheless occur. Such reversal can result in reduced performance if not in complete flow cessation if the improper type of arrangement design has been chosen. Assumptions no… more
