On the Calibration of Cascade Impactors

Description: From Abstract: "In the following paper, the two customary methods of calibrating cascade impactors are compared. It is shown that the method of determining collection efficiency as a function of particle size for each stage provides information for interpreting results in terms of impactor theory, making it possible to establish adequate jet performance."

THE FERRITE BIASING SYSTEM FOR THE RADIO FREQUENCY CAVITIES OF THE PRINCETON-PENNSYLVANIA 3 Bev PROTON SYNCHROTRON

Description: A description is given of the ferrite biasing system for the four tuned radio frequency cavities of the synchrotron. Each ferrite loaded double cavity has a single turn bias winding which is driven to a peak current of 13,500 amperes by a push-pull transformer arrangement. There is automatic tap changing of the transformer to accommodate the variable impedance load (for power considerations). The programming and frequency response of the system have to be such that each cavity can operate as th… more

High-Temperature Reactions of Type 304 Stainless Steel in Low Concentrations of Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide

Description: Compatibility studies of type 304 stainless steel in helium containing low concentrations of CO and CO/sub 2/ were conducted. The oxidation rates were insensitive to impurity concentrations between 0.0006--0.3 vol% in the temperature range 400--1000 deg C when P/sub co2/P/sub co/ was less than 0.66. Ratios above this value resulted initially in a slow oxidation rate, but was followed by an accelerated attack. The incubation period for the break-away varied with the P/sub co2//P/sub co/ ratio an… more

The Radiation Leakage Survey of the Shield of the Nuclear Ship Savannah

Description: A detailed 4urvey of the radiation from the N.S. Savannah shield was made. The study was accomplished with the reactor at its full power of 69 Mw during a cruise of 2821 miles. The results of the detailed shield survey show that the design dose rate of 0.5 rem/yr for passenger spaces is not exceeded in any region to which passengers have access. ln the area restricted to crew access the design dose rate of 5.0 rem/yr is nowhere exceeded except in a small region on D'' deck in a room to which en… more

The Scale Transformation in Physics

Description: Some criteria are established to test whether invariance under a continuous transformation will lead to a conservation law. The scale transformation is examined as a special case, and shown not only to lead to no general conservation law, but aiso in fact to be of a trivial nature. This is due to the rather artificial way in which scale invariance is usually introduced. A theory is then constructed by introducing an internal coordinate of dimension (length) in order to allow only the dimensionl… more

Preliminary hazards review: Overboring Hanford reactors (condensed version)

Description: This is a condensed version of an extended hazards safety review of a proposal to modify the six 8 3/8-inch lattice reactors on the Hanford site. The review was intended to satisfy the specifications for a Preliminary Hazards Review as adopted at the third meeting of the General Electric Technological Hazards Council at New York City on June 15-16, 1961. This supplement is a tabular condensation of the information in the general document. One departure is made from the specifications for such a… more

Reactor Controls Reliability and Maintenance at the ORR

Description: Early evaluation and study of the various criteria for the ORR clearly established the requirements for the fundarnental safety and control instrumentation, and the instrumentation was well integrated into the design and construction of the plant. However, it was not designed for the optimum of maintenance convenience and minimum reactor down time in the event of instrument failure. The revisions and additions that have been made in the physical plant and maintenance which have resulted in a de… more

A Method of Solving the Time Dependent Neutron Thermalization Problem

Description: The method of singular eigenfunctions introduced first by Van Kampen and developed later by Case and Mika in connection with a one velocity transport problem, was adapted to solve the time and energy dependent infinite medium problem. The expansion of neutron density and scattering kernel in series of Hermite functions reduces the Boltzmann equation to a system of homogeneous linear equations. The resulting set of regular and singular eigenfunctions is shown to be complete and explicit formulas… more

An Analysis of the Inherent Stability of the EOCR

Description: The inherent stability of the EOCR at full power, exclusive of the heat exchanger, is investigated. Space and time dependent differential equations and transfer functions for the nuclear and thermal processes occurring in the reactor core and vessel are derived. Reactor stability is analyzed by application of the Nyquist stability criterion. The results show that the EOCR has an extremely large margin of inherent stability. (auth)

A feasibility study: The application of cooling towers for reduction of Hanford Plant heat load to the Columbia River

Description: Hanford production reactor operation requires the rejection of very large heat loads. At the present time the heat load is rejected to the Columbia River by the reactor effluent. At low river flows the hot effluent can have appreciable effects on river temperatures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and costs of Cooling Towers as a means of reducing the heat load rejected to the Columbia River. After evaluation of published information, available data, and Hanford plant c… more

General parameter study of a bare, cylindrical reactor having the same materials as Tory II-C

Description: This memorandum describes studies undertaken to investigate the properties of Tory II-C with the aims of reducing weight and size and in increasing performance. Space and weight limitations aboard existing sea-going launch vehicles required this general parameter study which utilizes a bare, cylindrical reactor having the same materials as Tory II-C.

Recrystallization of Beta-Heat-Treated Dingot-Uranium Cores. Topical Report

Description: Annealing beta-heat-treated production-size dingoturanium core blanks in the high alpha range (1150 to 1200 deg F) produced a fine, equiaxed grain size by a recrystallization process. The extent of recrystallization is dependent upon the rate of cooling through the beta-to-alpha transformation, the time and temperature of annealing, and whether or not impurities that retard grain growth are present. The cooling rate through the beta-to-alpha transformation was varied by using a range of beta te… more

Chemical Technology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, February 1962

Description: In the operation of 6-in.-dia. foam-liquid columns, increase in either the liquid flow or foam flow caused increased channeling with increased HTU. Flooding values for the Immi mixer-settler were obtalned using the amine extraction final cycle Pu flowsheet. Two tests of the addltlon of uranyl nitrate to a thoria sol were made, one of which gave a good product and the other a product which disintegrated during calcination. Material balances for 22 waste calcination runs are summarized. (auth)
