Research and Development Progress Report

Description: "The St. Louis Refinery produced its first UO3 and UO2 in 1942, and its first UF4 and U metal in 1943. The accent has always been on production, and the function of the extremely small research and development groups has been to aid the production units in their job. ... Recently, there has been a growing realization of the need for a broader and more detailed knowledge of both the chemical and technological aspects of all phases of work. ... This is the first of a series of quarterly progress… more

Evaluation and Consolidation of Electrolytic Thorium

Description: Abstract: "Sound, fabricable ingots of thorium were produced by triple are melting of electrolytic thorium. Consumable electrodes were fabricated by tack welding of cold-pressed and vacuum-sintered bars of the granular thorium electrodeposited from a molten-salt bath. The hydrogen content of the electrodeposited material was reduced from 80 to 4 ppm by vacuum sintering at 1250 C at pressures below 1 x 10-(-3) mm of mercury. Both sodium and chlorine content were reduced during melting; sodium fr… more

Determination of Chemical Characteristics of the 1B Boiler. Section II. Test Results DL-S-209.

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the extent of mixing when chemicals are added to an idle boiler. The conclusion was that the chemicals added to the 1B boiler in a hot, idle condition did not become evident in any of three sampling locations tested within a period of two hours after the chemical injection. It is concluded that circulation in idle boilers is inadequate to promote the mixing necessary to distribute chemicals throughout the unit in a two hour period.

Reactor Coolant Loop Outage Test. Section I. Second Performance. Test Results DL-S-170 (T-554928-A)

Description: The purpose of this test was to determine the temperature transient experiences as a result of the loss of an operating loop during power operations when the main coolant hydraulic stop valves remain open. Also to determine the effectiveness of the operating procedure for removing a loop from service when the reactor is critical. The conclusions were the temperature transients experienced in the 1C loop as a result of keeping the hydraulic valves open after the 1C Main Coolant pump had been sto… more

Governor Performance Tests. Section IV. Second Performance. Test Results DL-S-174

Description: The purpose of this test was to determine the load at which each of the governor valves opens with a primary plant T(avg) of 500 F. Conclusions: It was found that the No. 2 valve opened at a generator load of 16.6 mw, the No. 3 valve opened at a generator load of 33.6 mw and the No. 4 valve opened at a generator load of 48.4 mw.

The X-Ray Spectra of Polonium Atomic Number 84

Description: From abstract: "Two samples, each containing an estimated 10 curies (2 mg) of polonium-210, were purified by vacuum distillation and evaporated onto oblique sections of X-ray targets made of copper. Four lines of the K series and ten lines of the L series of the X-ray spectrum of polonium were recorded with a one-meter transmission crystal spectrograph and a 25-centimeter Bragg spectrograph, respectively. Measured wavelengths agree approximately with values predicted by extrapolation of Moseley… more

The Reaction Between Hydrogen and Oxygen by Catalysis and the Thermal Reaction

Description: From abstract: "The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen with the aid of various catalysts (especially platinum on aluminua) has been studied, and the operating variables such as flow rates, space velocity, temperature, and gas composition have been examined rather extensively. It has been found that hydrogen and oxygen in stoichiometric proportions and mixed with either steam or helium may be made to react to the extent of 99.5% or greater at space velocities up to 30,000 hr-1, or even higher,… more

Investigational Drilling, Hoskinnini Mesa

Description: From to the files: To date, all the mineralization seen in the Monument Valley area in the Shinarump formation has been in scour channels. The mineralized rock occurs at or near the bottom of the channel. On Hoskinnini Mesa, all the channels examined to date contain some mineralized material. Channels observed may in some cases contain copper without apparent uranium mineralization; others definitely exhibit copper-uranium mineralization.

OMR Control-Safety Rod Component Development Tests

Description: Abstract: A magnetic-jack control-safety rod is under development for the 45.5 thermal megawatt Organic Moderated Reactor. The rod is "unitized," i.e., the poison element, drive, position indicator, and shock absorber are contained in a compact assembly which is inserted in a regular fuel channel opening in the core. Tests to develop components capable of operating under these conditions are described and results are reported.
