The Chattanooga Shale of Tennessee as a Source of Uranium: Final Report

Description: From major objective: The over-all aim of the study has been to obtain a thorough geologic picture of the Chattanooga shale in the area under consideration, with emphasis upon stratigraphic relationships and associated special problems from which, in turn, implications may be obtained as to the origin and age of the formation and possibly the source of the uranium. The study has not been aimed primarily at exploration for uranium and its economic aspects.

The Electrical Resistivity of Liquid Sodium and Dilute Sodium Alloys. Final Report

Description: "The factors of atomic size, ion core potential, and charge, which contribute to the increment in electrical resistivity produced by solutes in metallic solutions, were separated and experimentally evaluated in liquid sodium. The results are expressed in a semi-empirical relationship which defines the increment in resistivity of a monovalent solution as the sum of the fractional difference in atomic volume of solute and solvent and the difference in atomic number of Na and the solutes Li, K, Cs… more

An approach to the study of solid state bonding

Description: The program objective has been to investigate the possible similarity between a bond interface and a grain boundary. The criterion for establishing the similarity of a bond interface and a grain boundary was the migration characteristics of the boundary under the influence of controlled orientation, strain level, temperature and time. In addition, the orientation dependency of the "threshold", or minimum deformation, for bonding would have to be determined. The initial bonding studies were to … more

The Pebble Bed Reactor Program

Description: Several different types of experimental facilities have been evaluated to determine the most suitable and economical means of demonstrating the technical feasibility of the Pebble Bed Reactor concept. The criteria for demonstrating technical feasibility are: 1) bulk irradiation of fuel elements in order to obtain statistical data on performance, 2) Maintenance of system activity at specified levels, and 3) Feasible maintenance procedures. An additional criterion, which is required to achieve b… more

Interpretation of Westwood, New Jersey Rainfall Data

Description: "Progress is reported in an evaluation of fission product concentration in rain as a function of time, location, and meteorological setting. Data on rainfall collected at Westwood, N. J., were analyzed for information on the mechanisms of fallout deposition, seasonal variations in fallout, the stratospheric residence time of W/sup 185/ resulting from Operation Hardtack, and the accuracy of pot samplers for sample collection. Data from other collection stations were also analyzed for consistency… more

Reactivity Lifetime. Section I. Third Performance. 2797-3797 EFPH. Core I Seed I.

Description: The PWR Plant was operated at approximately 60 MW net electrical output for a total of 1000 EFPH from February 3, 1959 to March 28, 1959. During this period, while performing DL-S-225, there were two planned shutdowns, no safety shutdowns or safety insertions and one flux title. The performance of the plant was satisfactory during the period of the test.

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section I. EFPH-4182. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231 (T-612394)

Description: The purpose of the survey was to determine the radiation levels in the 1 D Boiler Chamber during plant operation. The conclusion of this survey is that the radiation level in the 1 D Boiler Compartment with the 1A, 1B, and 1C Main Coolant loops in service at approximately 100 per cent power ranged from .03 MR/HR to 6.0 MR/HR.

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section II. 4182-EFPH. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231 (T-612394)

Description: The purpose of the survey was to determine the radiation level in the Turbine Generator Services Building, around the Fuel Handling Canal, in the limited access areas of the reactor plant containers and on the boiler container roofs during plant operation. The test was performed with the plant at approximately 100 per cent power with three loops (1A, 1B, and 1C) in service. The radiation levels of the areas surveyed with a few exceptions were essentially background (.03 MR/HR). These exceptions… more

Periodic Intercalibration of Temperature Sensing Elements. Section I. First Performance. Test Results DL-S-243 (T-641306)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the direction and magnitude of any drift in the temperature sensing elements and the receiver-indicating units for the primary loop and pressurizer resistance thermometers. To obtain intercalibration data for various temperature sensing elements in the primary coolant system. To obtain data on the difference between the calculated signal generated by the BF-3 counters, considering the known rate of decay of the PO-BE source, and the measured values. Dete… more

Dynamic Response of Reactor Plant to Load Changes. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-251 (T-612390)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the responses of the plant when subjected to load transients exceeding the design magnitudes, and to determine the maximum load changes, positive or negative, that the plant can sustain. The reactor plant responded satisfactorily to all load transients. The only limits exceed were the pressurizer high and low level alarm points. The magnitude of the transients and the time required for the plant to return to equilibrium was dependent upon the size of the… more

Loss of Level in D/P Cell Reference Chambers. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-279 (RNI-23)

Description: The purpose of the test is to determine the reason for the decreases in the liquid levels of the reference chambers serving the reactor plant remote liquid level indicators. The remote gages and the local liquid level gages agreed closely for the Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Expansion Tank and the Coolant Discharge and Vent System flash tank and blow-off tank. There appeared to be no loss of water from the D/P cell reference chambers for these two systems over the period of the test. … more
