Planar Dynode Multipliers for High-Speed Counting

Description: Technical report discussing a new high-speed electron multiplier using a planar dynode configuration. This multiplier has a total transit time significantly shorter than available in conventional structures of equivalent gain. It also features rise-times generally less than three nanoseconds while providing the large sensitive area of an unfocused configuration. Two basic types of planar dynodes are employed: transmission secondary emission thin films as the early multiplier stages and silver… more

Mechanical, Fluid Flow, and Heat Transfer Out-Of-Pile Tests on EVESR MKI Prototype Fuel Bundle

Description: Summary: An EVESR MKI prototype fuel bundle was fully instrumented and operated intermittently for a 5-month period at the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Moss Landing Power Station. The vessel was operated up to 1000 psi with steam flows from 3000 to 26,600 lb/h, and steam inlet temperatures up to 825 degrees F. Data was recorded for blowout, vibration, flow distribution, heat transfer and pressure drop. The mechanical integrity of the fuel bundle, riser, and jumper system was satisfact… more

Preoperational Power Stability Analysis of the Consumers Big Rock Point Plant

Description: Summary: An analytical study of the stability of the Big Rock Nuclear Reactor has been performed for the plant as built, and supplements a previous design stability study. The plant has been determined by this analysis to be very stable under every mode of operation anticipated during Phase I of the development program testing. Even under conservative assumptions of system parameters the minimum calculated gain and phase margins do not go below 13.0 db and 46 degrees, respectively. (Nor are … more

Foam Suppression of Radioactive Iodine and Particulates

Description: " A reliable, efficient and economical method is needed to remove radioactive halogens such as iodine and bromine and particulates from air in many atomic energy installations. One method we have developed which is particularly suited to reactor containment vessels or other large confined areas is foam containment. In this method an ether lauryl sulfate foam containing an iodine reactant is generated, rapidly filling the entire containment volume. This provides a tremendous surface area to w… more

An Experimental Approach to a Simplified Band Structure of the Rare Earth Metals

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "A number of the physical properties from which we can obtain both direct and indirect information concerning the band structures of metals, have been measured for most of the rare earth metals. It was thought that it would be desirable to review ans examine these data and try to tie them together. For this purpose the very low and room temperature heat capacities, Hall coefficients, magnetic susceptibilities, spectral data and electrical resistivities were exa… more

The Y-Nd and Sc-Nd Phase Systems

Description: Technical report. From Introduction : "In a recent study by Spedding, et al. on some rare earth alloy systems, an intermediate phase was found to form when a light rare earth (ABAC stacking) was alloyed with a heavy rare earth (ABAC stacking). This intermediate phase was found to have the structure of samarium metal with the stacking ABABCBCAC and was designated "delta". Since the cause of this rather unusual structure occurring in either samarium metal or these alloys is not known the study of… more

Sodium Mass Transfer. [Part] XI. 1963 Test Run Reports (January - June)

Description: Technical report describing how corrosion data and exposure effects were obtained by subjecting metallic samples, during programmed test runs to flowing sodium in 6 test loops fabricated with various combinations of three selected materials, Type 316 stainless steel, 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo alloy steel, and 5 Cr-1/2 Mo-1/2 Ti alloy steel. Information produced by each test run, including operational and metallurgical data and analyses, is presented. Data are shown in tables, graphs, and drawings.

Localized Corrosion of Stainless Steels and High-Nickel Alloys in Simulated Superheat Reactor Environment

Description: Abstract. A program was instituted to study and reproduce the in-reactor intergranular failures of Type-304 stainless steel fuel cladding found in superheated steam. The program was directed toward finding ways to eliminate the cause of failure or to use improved alloys that would be less susceptible to failure. A materials screening test was developed in the out-of-pile superheat facilities with 1.5 ppm chloride added as sodium chloride to the recirculating water in the presence of typical … more

Oxidation Mechanism of Zirconium and Its Alloys. [Part] II. Oxide Plasticity

Description: Abstract: The question of how crack-free, protective oxide films can form on zirconium during oxidation when the Pilling-Bedworth ratio is about 1.5 has been considered by a study of the relative plasticity of various forms of zirconia. Hot hardness measurements showed that doping mono-clinic zirconia with iron, nickel, or chromium resulted in softer (more plastic) structures and that yttrium additions slightly reduced the plasticity. Calcia-stabilized cubic zirconia was found to be more pla… more

Sodium Mass Transfer. [Part] 8. Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Isothermal Regions of a Flowing Sodium System

Description: Technical report describing an analytical investigation made on the mechanism of the "downstream" effect in the corrosion of stainless steel in sodium. A mechanism of iron alloy corrosion is assumed in which the controlling rate is diffusion of iron-oxygen species, probably a FeO-Na2O complex. A mathematical model is developed for the corrosion, and the predicted results agree with the experimental data. The corroding species is probably present in sodium at concentrations of ~10(-8) g Fe/g Na. more

Design and Fabrication of Pellet Fuel Rods Clad With Thin Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Summary: Stainless steel clad nuclear fuel cycle costs can be reduced to those associated with Zircaloy clad fuel or potentially lower by reducing the thickness of the clad tube wall until performance penalties offset the savings associated with the reduction in parasitic neutron absorption. To demonstrate the feasibility and investigate performance capabilities of thin clad fuel rods for power reactor application an assembly was fabricated with 0.0127 cm (5 mil) thick stainless steel cladding … more

Design and Fabrication of Fuel Rods Containing Sintered UO2 Extrusions - Assembly 11L

Description: The extrusion forming of ceramic powders may be economically interesting in the field of nuclear fuel fabrication. When applied to the forming of rod-type uranium dioxide fuel, extrusion processes have been able to produce cylindrical bodies with length-to-diameter ratios much greater than those of the conventional die-pressed pellets. Furthermore, after being sintered, the extrusions have exhibited densities at least as high as those of sintered pellets. Thus, extrusion forming may offer re… more
