Scavenging of Particulate Matter in Connection with Nuclear-Powered Ships

Description: Gases, aerosols, and hydrosols are the forms of particulate matter which might be released from nuclear powered ships. Methods for scavenging these materials were studied in detail. Visual and radar techniques were used in tracking gases and aerosols in the free atmosphere. Scavenging of radioactivity dispersed in substitute ocean water by a permanganate-ferrous salt system was studied. A schematic diagram of a pneumatic conveying system for this type of scavenging material is provided.

Strain Cycling Tests of Large Specimens of AISI Type 347 Stainless Steel and 2-1/4 Croloy

Description: Twenty-one specimens one in. in diameter were tension-compression strain cycled to failure. Six specimens had transverse holes. Load-strain and load-time records were made. The unit strain ranges used were 0.026 and 0.09. The stainless steel specimens were tested at 662 F (350 C), the 2-1/4 Croloy specimens at 850 F. The cyclic life of a specimen with a hole can be predicated from smooth specimen tests by using the elastic stress concentration factor increased by 15%. In the commonly used expon… more

Processing of the Cotter Blend of Colorado Front Range Uranium Ores

Description: The results of laboratory and pilot plant alkaline leaching of the calcareous Cotter Blend are described. The Cotter Blend composition is given in relation to the source and chemical composition. It was demonstrated that specification-grade yellow cake with high recovery of uranium could be produced from Cotter Blend by a pressure alkaline leaching process. A pressure leach under oxygen pressure followed by caustic precipitation recovered 93.1% of the Uranium. (J.R.D.);

Description: The purpose of the test was to obtain data on plant performance after a single control rod has been dropped with the plant at 40 mw gross generator output. The operation of the plant after a single control rod (No. 23) had been dropped with within the allowable limits. The information obtained from the high speed recorders could not be evaluated accurately due to the fast chart speed and also because they were calibrated to cover a much wider range than was necessary. The necessary data was obt… more
