State of Matter at High Pressure

Description: Abstract. The region where exact thermodynamic description of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature is possible is located. In the remaining region various approximate theories and empirical relations are discussed. These considerations are applied to hydrogen to locate the density and pressure at which the diatomic bond collapses. Also the approximate conditions are determined at which no bound electron states exist.

GAUGE FOR MEASURING BOW OF TUBES

Description: A mechanical gage was designed to measure the bow over any one-foot length of long cylindrical material. The gage was used successfully for measuring bow in components of tubular fuel elements at the Savannah River Laboratory. (auth)

Abstract -- A description of low temperature hydriding of zircaloy at Hanford

Description: The two K Reactors at the Hanford Plant of the Atomic Energy Commission were retubed in 1963 with ribless Zircaloy process tubes. These tubes, 1.81 inch OD x 0.037 inch wall, were made by tube reducing methods from extruded blooms and were installed without final pickling or autoclaving. These tubes are used with once-through filtered water with a maximum coolant temperature of approximately 110 C. After approximately two years` service, it was discovered that these tubes were absorbing hydroge… more

Thorium Isotopes Method for Dating Marine Sediments

Description: This thesis is concerned with a possible method of improving the well-known ionium method of age determination of deep-sea sediment sections (Pet-53, Zou-58, Kul-55, Ran-54) both with respect to accuracy of individual determinations and with respect to the range of applicability of the method.

Damage Flux in Critical Assemblies

Description: An important limitation on the design of an inpile thermionic reactor is the fast neutron irradiation damage to the insulators, which is expressed quantitatively by the energy weighted neutron flux, or damage flux. The behavior of the damage flux has been investigated for a set of hypothetical critical assemblies containing different types of fuel and different amounts of moderator. It is shown that for a given fuel, the damage flux is reduced by moderating the neutron spectrum, and for a given… more
