Supplement No. 1. Projections of Costs, 1959-1975 for Nuclear-Conventional Power Plant Cost Study. Conventional Coal Fired Power Plants : 25,000 KW to 325,000 KW for Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Illinois

Description: In order to establish a basis for comparing the estimated cost of nuclear power plant designs, a set of general and detailed design considerations for conventional coal-fired power plants was established. Five preliminary designs of conventional coal-fired power plants ranging in size from 25to 325 mw were selected, and cost estimates were prepared. Supplement 1 shows a year by year projection of costs for the period 1959-1975.

Sodium Boiling Calculations

Description: The equations are derived for making rough calculations of the pressure drop required to produce a given mass flow through a subassembly for a given heat generation for cases where the vapor volume fraction is 0.9 or less. The ratio of vapor velocity to liquid velocity is left as a parameter that is varied form unreasonably low to unreasonably high values.

Principles and Techniques of Ultrasonic Inspection

Description: Ultrasonic inspection for subsurface flaws is widely used in American industry. This report reviews the general principles and specific techniques of ultrasonic testing. The information is based on a review of the technical literature plus the experience of the Quality Assurance Department at Sandia Corporation in applying this nondestructive testing technique to quality evaluation programs.

The Hydrolysis of the Rare-Earth Carbides

Description: From introductory paragraph: "This report concerns the hydrolysis of rare-earth dicarbides, sesquicarbides, solid solutions of carbon in rare-earth metals as well as rare-earth carbon alloys of varying compositions. Many of the carbide samples used in this study were those which had been studied by Gschneider (9)(7) and had been preserved in evacuated, sealed tubes. Some additional preparations of the sesquicarbides were made especially for these studies. The hydrolytic reactions were carried o… more
