105-N charge-discharge rates

Description: Figures have and can be generated that indicate a higher charge-discharge rate if required before 105-N will be comparable with existing reactors. Also, these figures show an apparent operating cost incentive to increase the charge-discharge rates proposed for 105-N. Although these figures may be true by themselves, other figures developed from the same information and stated on a basis that affords a true comparison, show that the proposed rates for 105-N are compatible with those in existing … more

Decontamination of the KER Rupture Experiment Loop Test Series B - Tests No. 1 and 2

Description: The first series tests in the KER-REP-1 loop proved that a fisssion product contaminated loop could be decontaminated to a safe level for contact maintenance. The second series of tests ere scheduled for a more thorough evaluation of these processes includes specific decontamination factors, process corrosion rates, loop activity reduction factors (loop decontamination factors), and any preferential decontamination which may be present.

[Dignity of Labor (1)]

Description: "Dignity of Labor." Worker smokes a cigarette and looks directly toward the camera. Narration by Junebug Clark: This striking studio portrait of a hard working laborer has been widely published. It was hung in every United Auto Worker union hall and other labor unions has used it too. In reality, this man is a plumber who came into fix a leaking darkroom sink and while he was there my father sat him down for a portrait. It's a family trait - always keep your camera handy and keep shooting. "If … more

Effects of 100-K water plant expansion on Panellits and orifices

Description: The information reported here was requested by M.H. Schack, Facilities Engineering Operation. It pertains to the 100-K water plant expansion Project CG-775. In this project, cooling water pumping capacity will be increased from 178,000 GPM existing to 188,000 GPM and 200,000 GPM for five and six modified pumps respectively. Effects of increased through-put on process tube flow metering elements and on the reactor Panellit gauges have been examined. This information was required to determine cos… more

Electrical Insulation Characteristics of Helium Gas at High Pressure and Temperatures

Description: Published information is not available for accurate prediction of the electrical insulating characteristics of helium at high pressures and temperatures. In general the breakdown voltage increases as the gas pressure is increased and decreases as the gas temperature is increased. The relatively low breakdown voltage of helium accents the importance of additional investigation in this field. (auth)

Exploration of Radiometric Methods

Description: The compilation of possible analyses in aqueous solution is nearly complete. A chart has been constructed showing the elements which may be determined radiometrically. The radiometric general scheme of analysis has been roughly blocked out. The next-planned phase is to select specific reagents and determine the details of such analysis.

Fuel Cycle Cost for Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors

Description: By using a large central fuel and blanket reprocessing facility, slurry-fueled aqueous homogeneous reactors can attain an estimated minimum fuel cycle cost of 1.4-1.6 mills/kwh; with solution-fueled two-region reactors, a doubling time of 14 years may be obtained at a fuel cycle cost of 2.0 mills/kwh. On-site processing appears desirable only for large power stations made up of reactors designed for short doubling times. For instance, a solution-fueled two-region reactor can attain a 12-year do… more

GEH-4-42, 47; Hot pressed, I and E cooled fuel element irradiation

Description: In our continual effort to improve the present fuel elements which are irradiated in the numerous Hanford reactors, we have made what we believe to be a significant improvement in the hot pressing process for jacketing uranium fuel slugs. We are proposing a large scale evaluation testing program in the Hanford reactors but need the vital and basic information on the operating characteristics of this type slug under known and controlled operating conditions. We, therefore, have prepared two typi… more

Leaching of RAINIER Debris

Description: The possibility of series ground water contamination is an important consideration in the peaceful application of contained nuclear explosions . A series of leasing tests were performed on RAINIER debris to established the extent of ground water contamination which would result from such debris. The leaching data show that no appreciable amounts of radioactive contaminants will be released to ground water. Only about 0.5% of the activity was leached from debris crushed to <53 mu when agitated f… more

Low-Energy [pi] Mesons in the Cosmic Radiation

Description: The intensity of 𝜋 mesons in the atmosphere is investigated in the energy region 𝐸kin≲50 Mev at sea level and at mountain altitudes. Positive 𝜋 mesons coming to rest in an absorber-scintillator are identified by the characteristic 𝜋−𝜇 decay. They are detected electronically and recorded photographically. The value 1.45±0.09 is adopted for the negative-to-positive ratio at small energies. The omnidirectional intensities 𝐽𝜋+ of slow positive 𝜋 mesons at sea level (91m), Echo Lake, Colorado (326… more
