EBR-II Dry Critical Experiments Experimental Program, Experimental Procedures, and Safety Considerations

Description: Report containing zero power (<1 kw) Dry Critical Experiments that were "to be conducted in the EBR-II Reactor prior to filling the Primary System with sodium coolant" (p. 7.) The two primary objectives of these experiments were to determine how well the system performed without sodium coolant and to "determine and/or verify certain operational data to permit modification or improvement of the system (neutron shield, instrumentation, etc.) prior to the introduction of sodium into the system" (p… more

Atomic Energy Levels in Crystals

Description: Report discussing discrete energy levels observed within certain crystals which are due to perturbations of energy levels of the free ion by an electrostatic field arising from the crystal lattice. The analytic procedures for determining the field from the charge configuration are given, and the resulting fields are classified according to their symmetry. After a general survey of group-theoretical ideas, the applicable groups are analyzed in detail, and characters appropriate for both integral… more

A Spectrophotometric Atlas of the Spectrum of CH from 3000A to 5000A

Description: Report of the near ultraviolet and visible emission spectrum of CH presented in the form of a spectrophotometric atlas. The spectrum was recorded photoelectrically from an acetylene-oxygen flame in the region 4900 to 3000 A by use of a high-resolution grating monochromator. Each of the lines in the CH spectrum is identified.

Extrusion of I&E ``O`` size tubing to finalize the process. Experiment No. U-31

Description: Work has been progressing on the development of an extrusion process for I&E tubing. The ultimate object of this development project is to compare the extrusion process from a cost standpoint with, the presently used rolling-drilling process. Various experiments have been performed to determine the optimum billet I.D., the proper follower block technique, the proper tooling parameters for the process, and the proper metallurgical structure of the material for optimum results. This extrusion com… more

Initial Peak Surge Current Detection Circuits

Description: Test requirements for several components specifies that surge currents be monitored to determine if the initial peak surge current exceeds a certain predetermined amplitude. This report describes and evaluates two circuits which were developed by Organization 2451 to meet this requirement in production testing.

PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT. HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS OF PATHFINDER BOILE. Summary Report

Description: A hydraulic analysis of the Pathfinder boiler core was completed. A description of flow paths including a schematic diagram is included. Pressure drops along primary and leakage fiow paths were calculatsd. After the resistance of each of the leakage paths was identified and the available driving forces in terms of pressure drops associated with the active fiow were established, the leakage rates were easily determined. The dependence of pressure drops on core operating parameters was investigat… more
