Intermediate Heat Exchanger Preliminary Design. Vol. 1, IHX Preliminary Design

Description: Preface: The intermediate heat exchanger is designed for operation in a nuclear power plant using liquid sodium as the primary and secondary coolant. Since the primary fluid coming from the reactor is radioactive, the purpose of the IHX is to transfer heat to a nonradioactive fluid which then goes to a steam generator. Because of this activity the until will be enclosed in a concrete pit and will not be accessible during periods of operation. Immediately after shut down it will be necessary … more

Technical Report No. 6

Description: The original melting apparatus has been converted from a one-zone to a six zone operation. Another one-zone refiner has been constructed. The experiments that have been performed to date with these two refiners are discussed in the firs two sections of this report. It is pointed out that it appears that zone melting has a limited application for the refinement of KCl and KBr. We are exploring two other means of purification: 1) ion exchange, and 2) distillation. Work on the analysis of the salt… more

Zone Refining and Chemical Analysis of KCI and KBr Progress Report

Description: Upon initiation of our alkali halide purification program, we desired an accurate and complete chemical analysis of representative samples of the best salt commercially available. It was concluded that the most sensitive and probably most nearly complete technique is that provided by neutron activation.

Aging of Al-Li Alloys - Part I

Description: Technical report outlining experiments on aluminum-lithium alloys. From Abstract: "Aluminum-lithium alloys are subject to precipitation from solid solution, and may be age hardened by the same techniques used for more common aluminum alloys. Spherical particles of precipitate were observed with the electron microscope in 1.5% and 2.8% Al-Li alloys after aging for times comparable to those required to produce maximum hardness. Rod-shaped particles that were oriented parallel to either the (110) … more

A Feasibility Study of Optically Regenerative Light Intensifier

Description: The contract was a study program to determine the feasibility of a high-gain optically-regenerative image tube. More specifically, it was a feasibility study of a close-spaced image tube which would utilize a fotoform grid to break the electron image into many independent elements. Use of the fotoform grid permits various high-gain modes of operation as the gain of the multiple-element image can be controlled or gated by the potential applied to the grid.

Control Rod Positions for Criticality. Section I. Fourth Performance. Test Results DL-S-149 (T-550130)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine critical bank heights and bank worths for various rod configurations at ambient temperature. The critical bank heights and bank worths at a coolant temperature and pressure of 130F and 400 psig were determined and are charted in the report. The test was performed after 556.6 EFPE of operation of the station.

Determination of Coefficients of Reactivity. Test Results DL-S-151 (T-550132). Section I. Fourth Performance

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the temperature and pressure coefficients of reactivity at sere power. The value for the temperature coefficient at the operating temperature of 523 F with 556.6 EFPH plant operation was 2.5 (delta E/F) x 16(-4). The magnitude of the temperature coefficient at the plant operating temperature (523 F) indicated the reactor is very stable during normal operations. The pressure coefficient varied from values of 1.41(deltaE/psig) x 10(-6) at 1437 psig to a.57… more

Department of Chemical Engineering Progress Report for September 1, 1957 Through June 30, 1958. Part I. Thermal Conductivity of Deuterium Oxide

Description: The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with l… more

Heat Capacity & Thermodynamic Properties of Saturated Deuterium Oxide

Description: This report summarized work completed on Part II of the above contract from June 1, 1956 through June 30, 1958. Additional work, mainly calculations, was continued August 1, 1959. The heat capacity of saturated deuterium oxide has been determined between 30°C (86°F) and 200°C (392°F) by comparison methods using ordinary water as a standard. The work was divided into two temperature ranges, 30°C to 80°C and 100°C to 200°C. Somewhat different experimental techniques were employed for each range b… more
