Dynamic Calibration Study

Description: Since transducers used in rocket engine applications measure time varying quantities, the characteristics which define the behavior of a transducer under dynamic conditions are extremely important in their applications by the design engineer. Proper calibration of transducers in the dynamic or frequency domain required a thorough understanding of the dynamic or frequency domain required a thorough understanding of the dynamic characteristics of a transducer. Analytical models are generated in h… more

Increased coolant flow for H reactor

Description: The purpose of this letter is to outline the immediate and long-range plans for increasing the H Reactor coolant flow. The flow can be increased, immediately from the present base of about 84,000 gpm to about 88,000 gpm via the following changes: routine purges; use of non-bumpered fuel; increasing the flow through Fringe enrichment and Fringe Poison tubes by changing orifices; and reaming damaged rear fittings to their original size. The flow can be increased to about 94,000 gpm via the follow… more

ION EXCHANGE ABSORPTION OF CESIUM BY POTASSIUM HEXACYANOCOBALT(II) FERRATE(II)

Description: A description is given of the preparation and properties of a granular form of potassium hexacyanocobalt(II) ferrate(II) that is a highly selective absorbent for cesium ion. The material is suitable for use in a large-scale icn exchange column, and offers the possibility of isolating and concentrating Cs from the fission product waste solutions which arise from the processing of nuclear fuels.

ML-1 Power Determination

Description: The ML-1 is a nuclearly heated, electrical power producing plant being developed for the U. S. atomic Energy commission and the U. S. Army by Aeroject-General Nucleonics. The power plant is a compact, water-moderated, gas-cooled, nuclear reactor, coupled in a single closed cycle to a gas driven turbine-compressor set and alternator. The plant is designed to produce power up to 500 Kw electrical,using 3 Mw thermal supplied by the reactor. It will operate 10,000 hours without refueling and hav… more

Operating and Safety Problems in a Research Reactor

Description: Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to present, in the light of 20 years of reactor-operation experience at ORNL, what is being done in preparation for operation of the HFIR (High Flux Isotope Reactor). This paper considers only the areas of staffing and training; development of operating and maintenance procedures; preoperational testing of water systems; and testing of remote handling tools. The preparatory work in other areas such as the hydraulic tests, neutron tests, etc., is not cover… more

Selection of Personnel for Reactor Operator Training

Description: Over the past six years, the hiring practices of the Reactor Operations Division of Argonne National Laboratory have been conducted to determine the highest level of personnel who would be willing to remain in the position of reactor operator. We have discontinued the hiring of personnel who have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or who are close to receiving such a degree. We now hire men from three general categories: (1) graduates from two-year technical institutes, (2) men… more
