The Development of Uranium Carbide as a Nuclear Fuel: Final Report

Description: From introduction: This is the final report on uranium carbide studies sponsored by the United States Atomic Energy Commission and performed by United Nuclear Corporation at its New Haven Research Laboratories during the period from May 1959 to January 1964. The work was part of the Commission's Fuel Cycle Development Program aimed at lowering the cost of nuclear power by improving fuel cycle technology. At the inception of this program in 1959, some work was in progress on uranium carbide. Lit… more

Pion-Proton Elastic Scattering inthe energy Range 300 to 700MeV

Description: Differential cross sections for elastic {pi}-p scattering have been measured at eight energies for positive pions and seven energies for negative pions. Energies ranged from 310 to 650 MeV. These measurements were made at the 3-BeV proton synchrotron at Saclay, France. A beam of pions from an internal BeO target was directed into a liquid hydrogen target. Fifty-one scintillation counters and a matrix-coincidence system were used to measure simultaneously elastic events at 21 angles and charged … more

Planar Dynode Multipliers for High-Speed Counting

Description: Technical report discussing a new high-speed electron multiplier using a planar dynode configuration. This multiplier has a total transit time significantly shorter than available in conventional structures of equivalent gain. It also features rise-times generally less than three nanoseconds while providing the large sensitive area of an unfocused configuration. Two basic types of planar dynodes are employed: transmission secondary emission thin films as the early multiplier stages and silver… more

Technical note on the determination of K-reactor last-ditch cooling adequacy

Description: The Hanford reactors contain a very large inventory of fission products and it is very important that this inventory be contained. In recognition of this, rather stringent reactor cooling requirements have been established for the Hanford reactors. This includes the requirement of three independent cooling systems, including the system for full level operation. The second and last-ditch systems both are usable only after a reactor scram and take-over automatically from the flywheel decay of the… more

Report of GETHC meeting December, 1963 review of IPD Ball 3X safety philosophy

Description: Information resulting from recent graphite investigations in the K Reactors were presented to the Council. Separations as much as three to four inches were reported. Contraction of the graphite within the fueled regions of these reactors is now about one per cent in the direction transverse to the extrusion axis of the graphite and about two per cent in the parallel direction. Saturation is not expected until shrinkage of at least two to three per cent is observed in the transverse direction. T… more

Supplement A to production test IP-546-A irradiation of diffusion-bonded fuel elements

Description: The original test authorized the irradiation of about 20 fuel columns containing hot-die-sized, diffusion-bonded fuel elements. Objectives of this supplement are to permit irradiation of an additional ten columns of hot-die-sized, diffusion-bonded fuel elements, and to obtain data on the relation of the coolant temperature distribution and fuel element behavior. These fuel columns will be irradiated in smooth-bore Zircaloy-2 process tubes in the C Reactor.

Progress report on NASA cermet studies identification SNC-12, January 1964

Description: This report details progress in an intensive investigation which was launched to determine the basic mechanisms leading to gross loss of UO{sub 2} fuel upon thermal cycling of UO{sub 2}-W cermets and to suggest means of overcoming this serious operational problem. (This problem was recently uncovered at both Lewis Research Center and at Hanford). More than 40 separate experiments were conducted in four high temperature furnaces, at temperatures to 2600 C, pressures from 10{sup {minus}5} mm vacu… more

Developmental requirements for canning a low density thoria demonstration load

Description: The feasibility of fabricating aluminum clad, low-density ({approximately} 65 per cent theoretical density) thoria elements using thoria produced-by a modified Sol Gel process, low frequency-low energy vibration for compaction, and the TIG welding process for closure welding has been demonstrated by Hanford Laboratories (HL). They have also assembled thoria fuel elements for the initial irradiation to produce 1 to 2 kgs. of U-233. At this time, it is expected that Hanford will be asked to produ… more
