40-MW(e) Prototype High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Research and Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962

Description: Research and development progress specifically directed toward the construction of a 40-Mw(e) prototype power plant employing a high-temperature, gas-cooled, graphitemoderated reactor known as the HTGR is reported. Irradiation of element III-B in the in-pile loop continued satisfactorily. The element has generated a total of l36.3 Mw-hr of fission heat. The gross activity in the purge stream increased slightly to about 350 mu C/cm/sup 3/. By taking larger gas samples than were previously taken,… more

ACTIVITY RELEASE FROM THE N.S. SAVANNAH IN THE MAXIMUM CREDIBLE ACCIDENT

Description: The release of fission products that would occur following the maximum credible accident aboard the N.S. Savannah has been examined. Four significantly different, but realistic, operating histories were considered. The rate of release of noble gases and of iodine isotopes as a function of time after the accident was determined for each operating history and for both normal and emergency reactor-compartment ventilation systems. The influence of radioactive decay and of the time delay in release … more

Adenosinetriphosphate Cleavage During the G-Actin to F-Actin Transformation and the Binding of Adenosinetriphosphate to F-Actin

Description: Since the discovery of the Straub and Feuer as well as Laki et al. that ATP bound to G-actin is transformed to ADP and inorganic phosphate during polymerization of actin (1, 2), it has become increasingly clear that the chemical changes in the nucleotide are related to the change in the physical state of the protein. Barany, Biro, Molnar and Straub have shown that highly purified actin preparation free of any enzyme which would use ATP, ADP or AMP as a substrate still catalyze the breakdown of … more

AGS Performance and Plans

Description: The scope of the AGS complex has expanded rapidly during the three years since an accelerated beam was first obtained. Demand for research time far exceeds the amount available although facilities have been much increased. At the same time, experiments are being designed which are more complicated than previous ones and which make more stringent demands on the accelerator and on its auxiliary equipment. There is a continuous trend of experiments to particle beams of greater momentum, as the exp… more

Apparatus for the Gasometric Study of Solid-Gas Reactions: Sodium Fluoride With Hydrogen Fluoride and Uranium Hexafluoride

Description: A gasometric apparatus for rapidly characterizing dissociation pressures, sorption equilibrium and kinetics, chemical states, and decomposition conditions was built and tested. The method involves the measurement of quantities of gases reacting with or evolving from known quantities of solid. Accuracies of better than plus or minus 1% were attained. In testing the capabilities of tue apparatus, the dissociation pressures of hydrogen fluoride and uranium hexafluoride over their respective comple… more

Applied Health Physics Annual Report for 1962

Description: The environmental monitoring data processed during 1962 indicated that Laboratory operations did not contribute appreciably to the contamination of the environment with radioactive materials. However, the effects of airborne radioactive materials generated from nuclear weapons tests conducted at various locations throughout the world continued to be reflected in certain parts of the environmental monitoring data. The concentration of radioactive materials in air (as determined by air filtration… more

Ceramic to Metal Seals for High-Temperature Thermionic Converters

Description: A rather broad investigation was carried on in the materials and methods which are considered possibly useful in forming ceramic to metal seals and composite structures for use in the environment of cesium-plasma thermionic converters. Initially, studies of five specific meands of joining refractory metals to alumina were undertaken, as well as studies of metallizing methods, of forming graded tungsten-alumina composites, and of the possible metals and ceramics which could be utilized best in s… more

CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY DIVISION, CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT SECTION C, PROGRESS REPORT ON SEPARATIONS CHEMISTRY AND SEPARATIONS PROGRESS RESEARCH FOR JANUARY-JUNE 1963

Description: Cesium Recovery from Ores. Adaptation of the phenol extraction (Phenex) process to the recovery of cesium from ore leach liquors continued to show promise. In roast-leach tests, 98 to 99% of the cesium was dissolved from pollucite ore by roasting the ore at 800 deg C with 1.8 parts of Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ plus 1.2 parts of NaCl and leaching with water. More than 99% of the cesium was recovered from the leach liquor and separated from other alkali metals by extracting with 4-sec-butyl-2-( alpha -m… more
