Blast Biology--a Study of the Primary and Tertiary Effects of Blast in Open Underground Protective Shelters

Description: Dogs, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and mice were exposed to nuclear detonatiors in two open underground pantitioned shelters. The shelters were of similar constructions and each was exposed to separate detonations. Each inner chamber filled through its own orifice; thus four separate pressure enviromments were obtained. An aerodynamic mound was placed over the escape hatch of each structure to determine its effect on the pressurecurve shape inside the chamber. In one test a sieve plate bolted ac… more

The Chemistry and Nuclear Chemistry of the Heavy Elements : Progress Report No. 4

Description: This progress report covers the work on the project approximately between the dates June 1, 1058 and May 30, 1959, and is being submitted ahead of the contractual expiration date to support the request for renewal action. During the previous year work has continued to progress in the nuclear and inorganic sections of our heavy element group. The low-level counting equipment will make it possible to extend our fission studies to much lower energies. The U235 and U236 alpha induced fission is ess… more

Concentration of Plutonium by Cation Exchange--Stabilization of Pu(III) in Nitric Acid

Description: A study to define the effectiveness limits of sulfamic acid and to discover other better stabilizers for Pu(III) is described. Ascorbic and isoascorbic acids, used in conjunction with sulfamic acid reduced Pu(IV) to stable Pu(III) in nitric acid. Aminoguanidine sulfate also retarded the oxidation of Pu(III) but did not reduce Pu(IV). (J.R.D.)

Concentration of Plutonium by Cation Exchange -- Stabilization of Pu(Ill) in Nitric Acid

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "Ascorbic and isoascorbic acids, used in conjunction with sulfamic acid, reduced Pu(IV) rapidly and completely to Pu(III) in solutions of nitric acid. The solutions of Pu(III) were stable. Aminoguanidine sulfate also retarded the oxidation of Pu(III) but did not reduce Pu(IV)."

Constitution of Low Carbon U-C Alloys

Description: (((Abstract unscannable)))<><DSN>13:014503<ABS>Thc Nb-O equilibrium system was determined by metallographic examination of arc-cast alloys made ot electron-gun-refined Nb metal and special purity Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/. Two intermediate oxides. NbO and NbO/sub 2/, melt without decomposition at 1945 C and 1915 C, respectively. Eutectic reactions exist between Nb and NbO at 1915 C and between NbO and NbO/sub 2/ at 1810 C . Experimental evidence supports a peritectic reaction between NbO/sub 2/ and Nb/… more

CRITICAL CONCENTRATIONS FOR HRT-TYPE REACTORS SUBJECTED TO VARIOUS CONDITIONS

Description: BS>Critical concentration calculations were made for several D/sub 2/O-H/ sub 2/O moderated HRT-type reactors with 30- and 28-in. core diameters and pressure vessel diameters of 60 and 54 in. A core temperature of 300 C was assumed for all cases while the blanket temperatures assumed the values 250, 280, and 300 C. The assumed moderator compositions were 80, 90, and 100% D/sub 2/O. (auth)

Electrical Insulation Characteristics of Helium Gas at High Pressures and Temperatures

Description: ABS>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 breackdown voltage of helium accents the importance of additional investigation in this field. (auth)

Fluidized Bed Reactor Study: Phase I - Feasibility

Description: From abstract: The Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) consists of a bed of fuel pellets which circulate in a confined core region as the result of the upward flow of fluid through the particles. In the present concept the fluid acts as a fluidizing, coolant and reactor moderator medium. This report is the results of the Phase I study to determine the feasibility of this concept.

A Gelatin-Filtration Headend for Fuel Reprocessing Solutions From Silicon- Containing Aluminum Alloys

Description: A laboratory study of a gelatin headend process for feed from silicon- containing aluminum fuels and plant salvage solutions is described. The optimum conditions for the gelatin treatment of fuel solutions were to boil a 0.1 to 0.5N nitric acid solution with 100 milligrams of gelatin per liter for 30 minutes. This treatment improved filtration rates and decreased the surface activity of the filtrate for TBP extraction. A number of possible flowsheets for fuel solutions are presented using gelat… more

Heat Transfer in Radiant- Heat Spray Calcination

Description: The fixation of aqueous radioactive wastes in a stable solid media by means of calcination has been the subject of considerable research and development effort. Several methods of doing this on a continuous basis have been devised and a few have been demonstrated to be feasible for the handling of non-radioactive or low activity simulated wastes. Currently an investigation of calcination by means of radiant-heat spray drying is being carried on by the Chemical Research Operation of the Hanford … more
