The Hard-Core Pinch. Part I

Description: It is well known that a pinch column with internal H/sub Z/ and external conducting shell can be made grossly stable, but that small-scale instabilities persist; especiaily in the tubular region of maximum current density. To investigate further these small-scale instabilities of the stabilized pinch,'' we are using 12-in.-i.d. linear pinch tube with a 3-in.-o.d. insulated center rod. By controlling a current along this rod, as well as a current along external conducting straps, and a third cur… more

THE HARD-CORE PINCH. PART II

Description: The toroidal version of the hard-core pinch tube is created by levitating a ring conductor inside a toroidal shell. The magnitude of induced H/ sub theta / necessary for levi-tation is small in terms of field strengths normally desired for energetic pinches. In a 3-in. glass-and-copper toroid of square cross section a 3/4-in. hollow copper ring has been levitated with a 60- cycle current of 3 kiloamperes. A 12-in stainless steel tube of round cross section is being built. The stability of nearv… more

Final Report on Purification of Thorium Nitrate by Solvent Extraction With Tributyl Phosphate: 2. Mixer-Settler Pilot Plant Investigations

Description: From abstract: "This report describes the construction and operation of a mixer-settler pilot plant for the purification of mantle-grade thorium nitrate. The liquid-liquid extraction process utilized 30% tributyl phosphate - 70% 'Solvesso-100' as the organic solvent and nitric acid as the salting agent. Continuous steady-state operation of the equipment was demonstrated, with very good recovery of thorium."

Zirconium Diboride, Boron Nitride, and Boron Carbide Compatibility With Austenitic Stainless Steel

Description: The compatibility of zirconium diboride, boron carbide, and boron nitride with type 304 stainless steel was evaluated as a function of temperature (1000 to 12OO deg C), time (1-3 hr). Appropriate loadings of the boron compounds and stainless steel powder were blended and fashioned into a compact powder metallurgically. Each compact was roll clad into a plate and subsequently heat treated at a temperature equal to the initial sintering temperature. Metallographic examination of the fabricated an… more

Technical Discussion of Brookhaven Off-Site Personnel Monitoring Service

Description: A number of questions have arisen in regard to the interpretation of personnel monitoring results reported to users of the Brookhaven neutron monitoring service. The original announcement was rather brief and did not contain most of the technical characteristics upon which an evaluation of results must be based. The following paragraphs have been composed with the hope that they will clarify the meaning of the exposure reports.

NEUTRON AND PHOTON TRANSPORT: PLANE, CYLINDER, SPHERE (DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAMS)

Description: Digital comnputer Program S constructs neutron and proton transport theory solutions having plane, cylindrical, or spherical symmetry. Lattice detail in geometry, energy, and momentum-angles is flexibleAnisotropic scattering- transfer is neglected. For aircraft nuclear propulsion applications, the initial version of the program developed as the Los Alamos SNG Neutron Code has been generalized to include the effects of time-delayed neutron or photon production and to provide the flux adjoint.

Solution Corrosion Group Quarterly Report for the Period Ending July 31, 1957

Description: The second All-Ti loop, 1OOA loop H, was placed in operation for more than 400 hr with UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solution at 250 deg C and -- 1000 psi. A fourth test of the mockup of the Zircaloy-2--stainless steel transition joint used in the HRT reactor vessel was completed. The joint and bellows functioned properly and were leaktight. The series of long-term runs at 200, 250, and 300 deg C with solution proposed for use in the HRT was concluded. Stainless steel and Ti stress specimens exposed durin… more

Quarterly Report of the Solution Corrosion Group for the Period Ending July 31, 1958

Description: 6 6 5 4 ; 6 6 5 6 4 8 4 : the chemica: stability of possible fuel solutions, and the results obtained from these runs have been compared with data obtained by others. A solution containing 0.04 m UO/sub 2/SO/ sub 4/, 0.03 m CuSO/sub 4/, 0.03 m NiSO/sub 4/, and 0.023 m D/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ in heavy water was not completely stable at 175 deg C or at other higher temperatures. About 7% of the copper was lost at 175 to 275 deg C, and an additional 9% was lost when the temperature was increased to 300 … more
