Ion-Chamber Water Monitor

Description: From abstract: "An instrument capable of detecting fission-product contamination in the moderator has been developed. It consists of a thin-walled ion chamber and associated electronic equipment for automatically detecting deviations from normal moderator decay rate. Indication of fission-product activity is independent of power level, flowrate, and other ambient conditions. Tests show the sensitivity and long-term stability to be good."

Corrosion in Hydrogen Sulfide - Water Systems

Description: From abstract: "This report gives a detailed account of the corrosion test work carried out by the Engineering Research Laboratory on the behavior of materials of construction in the hydrogen sulfide-water system. Results developed during the period from October 1950 through November 1954 are included."

Nondestructive Measurement of the Uranium Content Uranium-Aluminum Alloys

Description: From abstract: "An instrument is described which measures the uranium content of a 0.080-inch thick plate of uranium-aluminum alloy. The content is measured by gamma-ray transmission to an accuracy of +/- 0.0006 gram per square centimeter over the range of 0.085 to 0.115 gram per square centimeter of contained uranium."

Stress Analysis of the SRP Reactor Tank

Description: From abstract: "Equations are derived from the discontinuity stress in a cylindrical tank that is mounted vertically on a header and is open at the top. The analysis includes a derivation of equations for the prediction of the deflection and slope of the header by relating the strain energy in bending a circular plate to the strain energy in bending the header. The stresses that result from pressure and temperature are included in the analysis."
