Single tube meltdown incident

Description: In connection with design of rear face fittings for the plant-expansion study currently being conducted we have been asked to determine if rear face pressurization is required for safety reasons and if so, how much. Pressurization of the rear face piping would be used to provide sufficient reverse flow to prevent process tube burnout in the event of complete loss of coolant supply to a single tube by virtus of a front connector failure. Consideration of the effectiveness of rear face pressuriza… more

Ignitron Resistance During High-Current Operation

Description: Abstract: "A definition of average conduction resistance for an ignitron is established, and a test bank for determining the value of this resistance is described. Data are reported on four typical ignitron types for several currents in the kiloampere range. Oscillograms are presented to illustrate the change of current with time for a conducting ignitron in a ringing circuit."

Synthesis and Fabrication of Refractory Uranium Compounds. Monthly Progress Report No. 6 for January 1 Through January 31, 1960

Description: Preparation of about 1200 g of uranium nitride powder is reported. Experiments indicated that synthesis of mononitride by decomposition of higher nitrides required pro longed heating at high temperature. Chemical analysis of uranium nitride for nitrogen was found to be difficult. Data from analysis of these compounds are tabulated for comparison with calculated composition. Sintering studies of uranium mononitride continued during the report period. Work on uranium silicide formation from the e… more

The Effect of Casting Variables and Heat Treatment on the Tensile Properties of Lead-0.02 to 0.10 Weight Per Cent Calcium Alloy

Description: Some of the controllable variables have been investigated in casting of lead alloys having 0.06 to 0.09 wt.% Ca. The alloy has been found to respond to solution heat-treatment, room-temperature precipitation hardening, and accelerated hardening at 100 ts C. Tensile strengths to 7000 psi have been obtained.

PURIFICATION OF PROMETHIUM BY LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION

Description: A process was developed for separating promethium from raixed fisBion product rare earths by continuous multistage conntercurrent extraction with 100% tri-nbutylphosphste from nitric acid of 12 N or higher concentration. Distribution coefficients at 12 N acidity for aecdamium. promethium. and samarium are 0.43. 0.82, and 1.55, respectively. Single-stage separation factors of 1.9 between successive elements can be maintained throughout the system to give separations dependent only on the number … more

Radial Temperature Profile of Sodium Pool Boiling Heater Assembly

Description: The radial temperature around a sodium reactor heater assembly submerged in water is calculated using a model of the heater cross section found by conformal mapping. Thermocouple readings were also analyzed. When the heat flux is 5 x 10/sup 5/ Btu/hr-ft/sup 2/, a radial temperature drop of about 680 deg C across the center of the thermocouple well is calculated and found to be within 6% of the experimental value. Since most of this drop is across the 0.001-in. helium gap between the heater and … more
