Accident in Continuous-Dissolver Pilot Plant of Fluoride Volatility Project on May 15, 1957

Description: A series of explosions, estimated at five, occurred over a period of ten seconds within the continuous dissolver pilot plant, of the Fluoride Volatility Project on May 15, 1957. The explosive reactions occurred in the dissolver vessels as a result of violent chemical reactions between uranium and an interhalogen mixture. Just what the conditions were which triggered the explosions, have not been definitely established. Nevertheless, based upon the evidence which has been collected, several poss… more

Accident in Continuous-Dissolver Pilot Plant of Fluoride Volatility Project on May 15, 1957

Description: The so-called Fluoride Volatility Processes refer to several proposed non-aqueous methods of processing irradiated fuel elements. In each of these methods, the uranium is fluorinated to UF6 and then decontaminated by distillation. One of those methods, involving the direct fluorination of the uranium by bromine trifluoride (BTF), has been under investigation at BNL since 1950. In 1952, it was demonstrated at BNL that uranium, as UF6, could be satisfactorily decontaminated by distillation in sma… more

Adsorption of Zirconium-Niobium on Silica Gel

Description: From abstract: "Adsorption of radioactive zirconium-niobium from uranyl nitrate solutions by silica gel was increased by increasing the temperature and time the solution contacts silica gel, and decreased by "aging" the solutions before contacting the silica gel."

Aerodynamic Loads on Tails at High Angles of Attack and Sideslip

Description: "Results are presented for the loads and moments acting on the individual tail surfaces of a body-tail combination over a wide range of angles of attack and sideslip. The effects of forebody length and panel-panel interference on the characteristics are included. It is shown that large nonlinear variations in these loads and moments, which occur at some combinations of angle of attack and sideslip, cannot be predicted by low-angle theory" (p. 1).

AN ALPHA COUNTER FOR UNIFORMITY MEASUREMENTS

Description: An ionization-type alpha counter is used to mensure the uniformity of thin coatings of alpha -emitting materials to plus or minus l% exclusive of statistical error. The (n, alpha ) reaction allows the counter to be used for measuring the uniformity of B/sup 10/ foils when a suitable neutron source is provided. (auth)

Analysis of Limitations Imposed on One-Spool Ducted-Fan-Engine Designs by Compressors and Turbines at Flight Mach Numbers of 0, 0.6, and 0.8

Description: Memorandum presenting an analysis of one-spool ducted-fan engines in order to determine the primarily limitations on ducted-fan-engine design and to compare this type with the turboprop and turbojet engines for the same application. Designs were studied at flight Mach numbers of 0 and 0.6 at sea level and Mach numbers of 0.6 and 0.8 at the tropopause. Results regarding the discussion of charts, effect of design parameters on turbine stress, effect of design parameters, effect of design paramete… more

Analysis of Wing Loads on a Flexible Swept-Wing Jet Bomber During Push-Pull Maneuvers

Description: Report presenting measurements of the loads of the wing of a Boeing B-47A medium bomber using strain-gage instrumentation during 23 symmetrical push-pull maneuvers at a variety of altitudes, Mach numbers, and gross weights. Time histories of aerodynamic shear, bending moment, and torque at each of four spanwise stations on the left wing and one on the right wing were created. Based on the results, presently available methods seem to be capable of predicting additional and basic loads accurately… more

Arrangements of jet engine and airframe for increased range

Description: Report presenting an evaluation of a number of factors affecting engine-airframe arrangements in terms of range. Appropriate equations are developed and evaluated for a range of Mach numbers, ramjet and turbojet engines at several cycle temperatures, and two airplane lift-drag ratios. Some of the factors explored include inlet locations, jet cant for lift, engine moments for trim, a combination of the three factors, and the use of boundary layer in the engine.

Calculated Effect of Some Airplane Handling Techniques on the Ground-Run Distance in Landing on Slippery Runways

Description: Note presenting some calculations made on the basis of simplifying assumptions to determine the effect on the ground-run distance of maintaining a nose-high attitude instead of a three-point attitude in landings of several types of jet airplanes on slippery runways. The airplanes considered were a swept-wing transport and unswept-, swept-, and delta-wing fighters. Results regarding the effect of airplane attitude and effect of flap retraction are provided.

Calculation of External-Store Loads and Correlation With Experiment

Description: Memorandum presenting a theory for evaluating the mutual interference between a wing and tip tank as extended to apply to store-pylon configurations. By using the theory and the flow-field formulas of a previous report, theoretical store-pylon side-force estimates have been made for a number of store-pylon configurations. Results regarding the theory for store-pylon side force, scope of test configurations, contribution of store and pylon to combined load, effect of store spanwise location on t… more

A CALCULATION OF THE GAMMA-RAY SPECTRUM OF THE BULK SHIELDING REACTOR

Description: A calculation was performed to determine the highenergy portion of the gamma-ray flux at the surfacc of the uranium-aluminum BSF reactor. The flux was considered to consist entirely of the uncollided flux plus the Comptonscattered flux. The four sources of primary gamma rays included in the calculation were prompt fission gamma rays, capture gamma rays from aluminum, capture gamma rays from uranium, and fission-product decay gamma rays. These sources were divided into four energy groups. Althou… more
