Bremestrahlung in p-p-Collisions at an Energy of 150 MeV

Description: The differential cross-section for bremestrahlung in p-p collisions at an energy of 140 Mev is calculated at the upper end of the photon spectrum. the only transition which is considered is the E2 transition between 1D2 and the 1S0 state. The Siegart theorem is used and influence of the Coulomb force between the two protons is neglected.

Control and Dynamics Performance of a Sodium Cooled Reactor Power System

Description: Introduction: Objectives and Method of Approach. High plant efficiencies can be realized without excessively high core temperatures and high coolant pressures by the use of liquid metal coolant. In an attempt to prove the feasibility of liquid sodium as a reactor coolant ALCO Products, Inc., under sponsorship of the Atomic Energy Commission, is undertaking a design study of three vital system components: the intermediate exchanger, the boiler, and the superheater. Since, in the past programs,… more

The Crystal Structure of LiCuCl3-2H2O*

Description: This report undertakes research to study LiCuCl3-2H2O is from a structural standpoint, revealing the oxygen positions. The study uses the Levy-Bussing anisotropic temperature factor treatment and least squares program to determine a discrepancy factor for the visually determined intensities. The structure of the molecule is also found to have interesting magnetic properties which has inspired a new study at Brookhaven.

Fuel Element Development Program for the Pebble Bed Reactor

Description: ...Development during this quarter have caused a shift in emphasis of the Pebble Bed Reactor Fuel Element Development Program from coatings on the sphere surface to coatings on individual fuel particles as the major deterrent to fission product leakage. In a high level irradiation test, cracks developed in the coatings of specimens coated with pyrolytic carbon and siliconized silicon carbide. In another high level irradiation test, a graphite sphere fueled with Al2O3 coated with UO2 particles … more

Fuel Element Development Program for the Pebble Bed Reactor

Description: A variety of spherical uranium-graphite fuel elements were fabricated with the objective of meeting the requirements of the Pebble Bed Reactor. Major emphasis was on silicon-silicon carbide coatings, pyrolytic carbon coatings and alumina coated fuel particles. An exploratory program on the limits of thorium oxide loadings by the infiltration process was started.Poor results with sintered alumina coated UO2 particles led to development work on alumina coating by vapor deposition for which the … more

The Pebble Bed Reactor Program

Description: The coolant stream of all nuclear reactors caries some activity due to one or more of the following: a) neutron activation of coolant atoms, b) neutron activation of corrosion products carried by the coolant stream, c) fission recoil into the coolant stream, d) fission products leaking into the coolant stream. The Pebble Bed Reactor is not concerned with (1) and (b) since the helium working fluid, or coolant, has an activation cross-section which is essentially zero and its inert chemical natu… more
