Determination of Trivalent Uranium in Fluoride Salt Mixtures by the Modified Hydrogen Evolution Method

Description: The hydrogen evolution method for the determination of uranium trifluoride which was developed by Manning, Miller and Rowan has been used for the determination of trivalent uranium in this laboratory for the past three years. The method has been applied to many different sample types supposedly pure UF3, mixtures of UF3 and UF4 and the large variety of mixtures of fluoride salts that have been investigated as possible nuclear fuels. These mixtures contained alkali metal, beryllium and zirconium… more

Chemical Separation of Isotopes Section Semiannual Progress Report for Period Ending June 30, 1955

Description: The countercurrent gas-liquid system BF3(g)—anisole·BF3(l) for the concentration of boron isotopes has been studied. The single-storage separation factor varies from 1.039 at 0°C to 1.029 at 30°C. Rate of exchange is rapid, and, with efficient contacting equipment, complete exchange may be obtained in less than 15 sec. A total separation of 1.525 has been realized in laboratory equipment. The critical-product reflux reaction is quite efficient. Only about 55 moles of BF3 remain in each million … more

Development of a Cubic Oxide Protective Film on Zirconium

Description: Observations of the effects of neutron damage to zirconium oxides led to the conclusion that the cubic form of ZrO2 is more stable to such damage than the monoclinic form. It has been reported that zirconium corrodes more rapidly in certain liquids when exposure is made under radiation (neutrons and fission products). It is well known that on heating monoclinic ZrO2 a transformation, monoclinic to tetragonal (very similar to cubic), occurs at about 1500°C. The transformation involves sufficient… more

The Technology of Uranium Dioxide a Reactor Material

Description: Consideration has been given to various forms of fissionable material for use in atomic reactors, including the pure metals, their alloys and compounds. Of particular interest is the dioxide of uranium which is refractory and corrosion resistant in some environments.The oxide is useful in both granular and bulk forms. Small grains of uranium oxide can be mixed with other materials to form matrix type elements where they serve either as a convenient or necessary form of fuel or fertile material.… more

Products Produced in Continuous Neuron Irradiation of Thorium

Description: Calculated data and graphs describing the effects of continuous thermal-neutron irradiation of thorium, the usual method of operations of homogeneous reactors, are presented.The buildup and decay of U^233, Pa^233, other heavy isotopes, and fission products are considered on the basis of best available cross-section and fission-yield data. The effects of the heavy isotopes and fission products on neutron economy are discussed.

Enthalpies and Heat Capacities of Solid and Molten Fluoride Mixtures

Description: The enthalpies and heat capacities of seventeen fluoride mixtures in the liquid state have been determined using Bunsen Ice Calorimeters and copper block calorimeters. The fluoride mixtures were composed of the fluorides of two or more of the following metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, beryllium, zirconium, and uranium. The enthalpies and heat capacities of most of these mixtures were studied in the solid state also. Estimates of the heat of fusion have been made. General empirical equations … more

A Monte Carlo Estimation of the High Energy Neutron Flux Distribution in the ORNL Graphite Reactor

Description: The flux through a given region is proportional to the total lengths of the neutron flight paths that intersect that region. The analytical Monte Carlo procedure manufactured neutron flight paths and totaled the lengths of all paths intercepted by the regions illustrated in Figure 1. The procedure was designed to utilize the various symmetries in the lattice. / Consider a portion of the lattice whose planar cross-section is shown in Figure 5. If R is the region in which the flux is to be estima… more
