Prescoping Optimization for Selection of Enriched Uranium Gas-Cooled Power Reactor Design

Description: A preliminary set of performance calculations were made for enriched reactor cores based on five cylindrical vessel designs ranging from13 to 36 feet in diameter. The capital costs per kilowatt of electrical plant output as shown in Table II indicate than an economic optimum selection of pressure vessel size should be either the 25 foot or the 36 foot vessel.

THE METABOLSIM AND TOXICITY OF RADIUM-223 IN RATS

Description: This report covers studies of the excretion and retention of 'tracer' and toxic doses of the 11.2-day Ra{sup 223} isotope, its acute toxicity (organ weight changes, gross and microscopic pathology, and Fe{sup 59} utilization by the bone marrow), and long-term histopathological changes and alterations in the hemogram.

Increase in reactor power ratings through increased H{sub 2}O and D{sub 2}O flow rates

Description: As a part of the Productivity Increase Program, consideration should be given to further gains in 100 Area production levels which can be achieved by further increases in both light and heavy water flow rates. This memorandum presents a summary of the power level gains which should be achieved from the flow increases under consideration, a discussion of the costs and production losses which might apply, and a brief listing of some other considerations which might influence any decision to incre… more

HAPO irradiation of capsules containing UO{sub 2} specimens

Description: A knowledge of the effect of reactor irradiation on the properties of UO{sub 2} is relevant to the design and evaluation of UO{sub 2} fuel elements for the PRTR. Of particular interest is the effect of reactor irradiation on the thermal conductivity of sintered UO{sub 2} and the type, mechanism, and extent of radiation damage in sintered UO{sub 2}. In the latter case the study of fractured surfaces of irradiated UO{sub 2} specimens is a method of determining the extent of radiation damage. It i… more

Fluidization in Tapered Beds

Description: Abstract: The concept of a tapered fluidized bed is explored briefly. Data are given showing that in bench scale apparatus a tapered bed gives better fluidization with some materials that are difficult to fluidize in a conventional cylindrical bed.

Surface Motion from an Underground Detonation

Description: Abstract: Surface and near-surface acceleration and strain were measured on a deep underground nuclear burst (Rainier Shot; 900 ft; 1.7 kt) to permit extrapolation of results to nuclear detonations of other yields under different test or employment conditions.

Air-Gun Studies of Ferroelectric Materials (Second Printing)

Description: Specimens of two ferroelectric materials, barium titanate and lead-zirconate titanate, have been subjected to high dynamic stresses by impacting them with a projectile accelerated by an air gun. The purpose of these tests was to supplement information previously obtained using high explosives to stress the ferromagnetic materials.
