Evaluation of Iodine Vapor Absorbers for the Low Intensity Test Reactor (LITR) Off-gas Systems

Description: The Low Intensity Test Reactor (LITR) was a light water moderated and cooled, beryllium reflected, heterogenous, enriched uranium reactor developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A proposed addition of an iodine vapor adsorber to the off-gas system of the LITR is evaluated by comparing the atmospheric radiation doses to laboratory personnel that could result in the event of a partial reactor core meltdown in one case while utilizing the present off-gas system and in the other case with … more

Re-evaluation of the Activated Charcoal Fission Gas Adsorber for the Leak Detection System of the GC-ORR Loop No. 1

Description: The nitrogen leak detection system charcoal trap for the GC-ORR Loop No. 1 is re-evaluated under modified operating conditions and using recent laboratory data concerning the adsorption of krypton and xenon from very slowly moving gas streams. This experiment is being conducted in support of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) being built at Oak Ridge and is designed to study the operating characteristics of UO2 fuel specimens clad with stainless steel.

Heavy-Ion Elastic Scattering

Description: The elastic scattering of C/sup 12/ ions from Ar, Fe, Ni, Ag/sup 107/ In, and Ta was measured as a function of angle, at a laboratory-system energy of 124.5 Mev with the Berkeley heavy-ion linear accelerator. The experimental equipment and techniques are discussed. The angular distributions show the same general behavior as previous heavy-ion elastic scattering experiments. The experimental data were analyzed with the semiclassical Blair model as modified by McIntyre. Very good agreement with e… more

Evidence For a T = 0 Resonance in the Z[ ] System

Description: In previous letters we have reported a Av resonance, called Y*1, observed through the study of the interaction of 1.15-Bev/c K* mesons in hydrogen in the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory 15-in. bubble chamber. We now wish to report the results of the study of the three reactions [formula](1), [formula](2) and [formula](3).

The [Sigma/Alpha] Branching Ratio Of [Y*1]

Description: Recently a T=1 resonance in the [Alpha w] system called [Y*1] has been observed with a mass of 1385 Mev. Two types of resonances have been predicted that might relate this observation to other elementary-particle interactions: (1) P 3/2 resonances in the Alpha w and Sigma w systems predicted by global symmetry corresponding to the (3/2, 3/2) resonance of the wN system, (2) a spin-1/2 Y-w resonance resulting from a bound state in the KN system. The position and width of the observed [Y*1] resona… more

The Epsilon*/Lambda Branching Ration of Y*1

Description: Recently a T = 1 resonance in the {Lambda}{pi} system called Y*{sub 1} has been observed with a mass of 1385 Mev. Two types of resonances have been predicted that might relate this observation to other elementary-particle interactions: (1) P 3/2 resonances in the {Lambda}{pi} and {Sigma}{pi} systems predicted by global symmetry corresponding to the (3/2, 3/2) resonance of the {pi}N system; (2) a spin-1/2 Y-{pi} resonance resulting from a bound state in the KN system.

Air blast studies with animals. Part II.

Description: Goats under Nembutal and mice were exposed in a shock tube modified to give longer-duration overpressures and equipped with ports for photography. Except for ear damage, displacement still seemed to be the major cause of injury in goats in the 4-foot section of the tube. However, it was found that mice were killed, apparently by pure blast, in a particular position in a particular type of side chamber attached to the higher-pressure, smaller-diameter, section of the tube. The relation between m… more

PHYSICS ANALYSIS OF PROPOSALS FOR EBWR CORE 2

Description: Two concepts were investigated as possibilities for the next loading of EBWR. One is a light water spiked plutonium recycle system; the second is a conventional uniformly loaded system with the option of different enrichments in two radial zones. It is concluded that the plutonium recycle scheme is not feasible in EBWR at 100 Mw, and recommendation for a two-enrichment loading for various burnups is made. (auth)

RECOVERY OF Np-237 BY AN OXIDATION-REDUCTION FLUORIDE PRECIPITATION METHOD

Description: Several hundred grams of Np/sup 237/ in nitric acid solution was approximately 95% recovered as NpO/sub 2/ of >99.5% purity. The remaining 5% was recovered as a nitric acid solution of 99.95% purity. The neptunium was oxidized to the soluble +6 state with sodium bromate, and Pu(IV), thorium, and other impurities in the solution were precipitated as fluorides. The neptuninum was then reduced to Np(IV)) with sulfur dioxide and precipitated as KH/sub p/F/sub 5/ , dissolved in nitric acid, precipit… more

Gamma-ray scanning techniques for fast breeder reactor safety studies

Description: A radiation scanning device was constructed to observe meltdown of fast breeder reactor fuel elements in the TREAT reactor by means of self gamma emission. Although the original desired specification was to view natural uranium pins with a space resolution of 0.1 in. and a time resolution of 1 millisecond, the system was designed to give the above space resolution, but the time resolution would be 5 milliseconds or longer depending on the signal intensity. The system failed to give satisfactory… more

Causes of Variation in Chemical Analyses and Physical Tests of Portland Cement

Description: Report discussing variations in comparative tests of portland cements that could lead to the rejection of a material fully conforming to specification requirements, or the acceptance of a material with undesirable chemical or physical properties. Many of the causes for variation in chemical analyses and physical test results are listed in this discussion, and remedies for some of the more frequently encountered deficiencies in apparatus and methods are suggested.

gem-Bis(disubstitutedphosphinyl)alkanes. II. Extraction Properties of Bis(di-n-hexlphosphinyl)methane

Description: From abstract: "Bis(di-n-hexylphosphinyl)methane, HDPM, [(C6H13)2P(O)]2CH2, has been studied as an extractant for a variety of metals. HDPM was evaluated as an extractant for uranium(VI) and compared with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide, TOPO, (C8H13)3PO. In nonpolar solvents, HDPM forms a polymeric-like substance with compounds of uranium(VI). Viscosity measurements indicate that the molecular weight of this polymeric-like substance is about 100 times greater than the corresponding complex with TOP… more

Experimental Evaluation of the Radiation Protection Provided by an Earth- Covered Shelter

Description: against fall-out radiation provided by an earth-covered shelter. The study indicated that the shelter offered excellent protection from fall-out radiation deposited on and around the shelter. This study also added additional data to the research in radiation shielding provided by various structures which is being conducted by the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. A fall-out radiation field was simulated by pumping, at constant speed… more
