An Assessment of Certain Avenues of Improvement for Nuclear Desalination Technology

Description: From the questions which have been asked, I gather that I am expected to bring you the news of the latest exciting developments in desalination at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. However, the agenda for this meeting does not include reports of unfinished investigations; moreover, although there are some new ideas afoot at Oak Ridge, they are aimed toward the very large stations which are somewhat beyond the scope of the more current interests represented here. So instead of presenting new de… more

Recent Studies of Boiling Burnout

Description: Five recent investigations of the critical heat flux in water systems are described. These studies were conducted in the interval from early 1963 through the present. The five studies are (1) Pool studies: inherent uncertainty in the critical heat flux; (2) Pool studies: heat transfer inside of horizontal, open ended heated tubes immersed in a pool; (3) Pool studies: natural-convection burnout of closed vertical channels; (4) Forced-convection investigations; subcooled boiling and burnout with … more

Electron Metallography of Pyrolytic Carbon Coatings on Fuel Particles

Description: A replica electron microscope study of as-polished and cathodically etched surfaces of pyrolytic carbon coating on fuel particles has been made in an attempt to characterize coatings that showed as much as a 30% difference in bult density. High and low density coating could be characterized by their polished surface textures; however, these features were not indicative of the true structure as seen by direct electron transmission. Microvoids detected by the transmission study of cleavage flakes… more

Genetic and Functional Mosaicism in the Mouse

Description: In a sense, the whole process of differentiation is one of directed functional mosaicism. It is, however, the accidental or random juxtaposition in the same organism of cells having actually or effectively different genotypes that is generally thought of as true mosaicism. The study of this condition constitutes a perfect meeting place for the fields of genetics and developmental biology, providing, as it does, interrelated information on mutability, cell lineage (including the special problems… more
