Test Program for 30 Megawatt Prototype Sodium Intermediate Heat Exchanger and Steam Generator

Description: The designer's concept of a test program for the 30-Mw prototype intermediate heat exchanger and steam generator designed and fabricated as part of the Sodium Components Development Program is presented. The performance data will serve to verify the thermal design, or allow application of improved techniques to future designs, give an improved basis for stress analysis in design of future units, and demonstrate the capability and limitations of the units in relation to the performance specifica… more

The Adsorption and Surface Reactions of Hydrocarbons on Clean Iridium

Description: From abstract: "The adsorption of ethane, ethylene and acetylene on clean iridium in a field emission microscope has been found to cause characteristic changes in the work function of the iridium surface. Further changes, which are time and temperature dependent, result when such surfaces are heated. Flash filament experiments have shown that the changes in work function upon heating are due to desorption reactions and that the desorbed product consists principally of hydrogen. By assuming a li… more

Measurements on the Environmental Radioactivity in India from Nuclear Weapon Tests. Data Collected During 1956-61

Description: In this report the data on the measurements of radio activity of air, rainwater, milk and a variety of food samples is tabulated. A brief outline of the sampling and counting procedures is also given. Interpretation and discussion of the results as well as further details of the methods of sampling and counting have already been given in the various reports published by this section. A bibliography of those reports is given at the end.

Economic Factors of MFP Thermoelectric Generators

Description: "Mixed Fission Products (MFP) for use as a heat source for thermoelectric generators will become increasingly available in the coming years. The Atomic Energy Commission sponsored program on solidification of nuclear wastes is now entering the hot-bench scale test phase. During this phase approximately 5000 thermal watts of two year old MFP could be produced monthly. Two different types of hot calcination pilot plants are planned for installation at the Hanford National Laboratories in the 1964… more

The Scandium-Yttrium and Scandium-Zirconium System

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The scandium-yttrium and scandium-zirconium were studied by thermal and x-ray methods. Both systems are characterized by complete solid solubility in the low temperature hexagonal form and in the high temperature bcc form. In the Sc-Y system, there is a minimum in the solidus at 50 at. pct and 1365°C, while the solidus in the Sc-Zr system follows a nearly straight line relationship between the melting point of scandium and zirconium. There is a minimum in the … more

Self-Diffusion in Polycrystalline Yttrium Oxide

Description: From abstract: "The self-diffusion coefficient of yttrium in yttrium oxide has been determined for polycrystalline Y2O3 in the temperature range 1400 to 1800°C. Radioactive Y-91 was deposited on sintered specimens of 94 to 97% theoretical density. The specimens were annealed under vacuum and sectioned. The following equation describes the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient over the range studied: D = 2.41 x 10[^]-4 exp (-43,900/RT) cm[^]2/sec."
