100-Watt Curium-242 Fueled Thermoelectric Generator--Conceptual Design. SNAP Subtask 5.7 Final Report

Description: A thermoelectric generator which produces 100 watts of electrical power continuously over a six-month operational life in a space environment was designed. It employs the heat produced by the decay of Cm/sup 24/ as the source of power. Uniform output over the operational life of the generator is accomplished by means of a thermally actuated shutter which maintains the hot junction temperature of the thermoelectric conventer at a constunt figure by varying the amount of surplus heat which is rad… more

Analog Computer Study of the MSR-ORR in-Pile Pressurized Water Loop No. 1

Description: A study of the dynamic behavior of the Merchant Ship Reactor Pressurized Water Loop was made using the Reactor Controls Analog Facility. Computer curves show the predicted response of the loop temperatures to normal load changes and component failure accidents. Except for complete flow stoppage, which was not investigated here, the safety system was shown to be adequate in curbing loop temperature excursions due to postulated accidents. (auth)

Aqueous Corrosion of Magnesium Alloys

Description: BS>The aqueous corrosion of Mg alloys was investigated at 53 to 150 deg C. Corrosion rates rose rapidly with temperature, reaching about 3 mils per day at 150 deg C for AZ-31 STAMg-2.5 to 3.5 wt.% Al-0.7 to 1.3 wt.% Zn-0.2 wt.% Mn!. Additions of small amounts of Cu and/or Ni to the basic AZ-31 composition reduced the corrosion rate at 150 deg by a factor of about two. Sn may be advantageously substituted for Zn in AZ-31. Control of the pH in the range between 6 and 7 and maintenance of a fluori… more

ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM. GCRE-I HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT. ADDENDUM III

Description: The hazards evaluation was modified to reflect certain changes made to the equipment as a result of operating experience. These changes included: the addition of a startup interlock circuit; the modification of a startup interlock circuit; several minor modifications to the control rod actuators; and the addition of the tube-sheet cooling system.

Bone Marrow Activity in Vitro Under the Influence of Anemic Serum and Human Erythropoietin

Description: A method is described for observing the uptake of Fe by rat bone marrow cells in vitro. Results of experiments on effects of anemic serum and human erythropoietin are presented with a brief discussion. It is concluded that the differences in uptake of Fe/sup 59/ are the result of isotope dilution. (auth)

CHARACTERISTICS OF ANODIC AND CORROSION FILMS ON ZIRCONIUM

Description: Zirconium anodizes similarly to tungsten in respect to the change of interference colors with applied voltage. However, the oxide layer on tungsten cannot reach as great a thickness. Hafnium does not anodize in the same way as zirconium but is similar to tantalum. By measuring the interference color and capacitative thicknesses on zirconium (Grades I and III) and a 2.5 wt.% tin ailoy, the film was found to grow less rapidly in terms of capacitance than in terms of iaterference colors. This was … more
