Study of Requirements and Suitability of Available Reactors for Fast Fuel Tests

Description: Report issued by the APDA over studies conducted on the requirements of reactors for fuel testing. As stated in the summary, "the purpose of this study is to determine the requirements for radiation space for fast reactor fuel testing and to determine the capability of existing Commission and private test and power reactors to meet these requirements" (p. 7). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

The Strontium-Strontium Hydride Phase System

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The Sr-SrH2 phase diagram was studied by thermal analysis, chemical analysis of equilibrated phases and X-ray diffraction. The maximum solubility of SrH2 in strontium metal is 38 mole % at the peritectic temperature of 880°C. Strontium metal undergoes an allotropic transformation at 555°C and melts at 768°C. A second transformation was found, at about 240°C, in samples containing hydrogen. Strontium hydride was found to have an allotropic transformation at 855… more

High Pressure Research at Low Temperatures

Description: Two principle reasons exist for the extension of high pressure research to temperatures near absolute zero. First, the comparison of certain data with theory (such as the pressure-volume relationship) is more meaningful if the effects of thermal vibrations can be ignored. Second, there are phenomena which can be studied only at low temperatures. These include superconductivity, the properties of solid helium and other inert gases, some electronic phenomena, etc.

Niobium-Tin-Aluminum Alloy Studies

Description: From Abstract : "A proposed constitutional diagram was developed from equilibrium data obtained for the niobium-tin binary alloy system. ... Alloying Nb3Sn with Nb3Al appears to raise the zero field superconducting transformation temperature of Nb3Sn slightly."

Gamma Ray Efficiencies for Well Type Scintillation Crystals

Description: From Abstract : "Gamma ray efficiencies for various sized well type NaI(Ti) crystals have been calculated using an IBM 704 digital computer. The adjustable parameters in the program are the gamma ray energy, the heights and diameters of the crystal and the well, the thickness of the well lining, and the positions of the (point) source inside the well. Some typical results are presented in graphical form."

A Differential Equation from the Theory of Neutron Thermalisation

Description: The heavy gas model using a synthetic kernel leads to coupled equations for the determination of the neutron flux in a bare reactor. The very special problem of solving analytically the defining equation for the energy dependent neutron flux in a region for which there are no source terms is considered. (auth)

Short Time Strength Data for CS 1830 Series Cb-1Zr, Annealed at 2200F

Description: This technical report is a summary of short time strength data for CS1830 series Cb-1Zr material. The data are presented as a function of fabrication history or the amount of cold work received during fabrication. Three fabrication categories were considered for comparison: forgings and extrusions; bar, plate, rod and pipe; and sheet and tubing. Forgings and extrusions having received no cold work showed the highest strength over the entire temperature range 68F to 2800F; bar, plate, rod and pi… more

Thermal Conductance of Metallic Surfaces in Contact

Description: "Research in thermal contact resistance at MIT and advances made during the past year are summarized. The problem of predicting cortact resistance is examined in an analysis of a model for the contact which relates the geometry of actual surfaces in contact to the contact model, and a deformation analysis which relates the contact geometry to the load carried by the surfaces. Experimental procedures are described and are applied to two stainless steel surfaces in contact and to W and graphite s… more

Fundamental Problem of Late Neurological EffectFollowing Acute Irradiation

Description: Since the end of the last century (Tarknow, 1896) radiation effect o the nervous tissue has been studied in experimental animals and humans by numerous investigators, using mostly pathomorphological changes as a parameter of radiosensitivity . With increasing time intervals following radiation, pathomorphological changes are more evident, which has been known for quite some time.
