Brief Review of Heat Transfer Problems Encountered in the Production of Magnetic Fields

Description: The design of internally cooled electrical coils for the production of high intensity magnetic fields presents many new aspects and combinations of the familiar modes of heat transfer. However, the customary methodology appears to be sufficient for preliminary analysis and understanding of those problems. This methodology comprises the derivation of a qualitative, approximate equation expressing the relative performance of the various parts of a system, followed by an examination of this equati… more

PROBLEMS IN ACCOUNTABILITY MEASUREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERIM CHEMICAL PROCESSING PROGRAM

Description: Available knowledge of precision limits in S.S. accountability measurements and/or calculations by reactor and chemical processing groups is surveyed and summarized. Experienee in comparisons of reactor (production and research) calculations vs. chemical plant accountability measurements is also reported. A general tentative conclusion is that available precisions ( plus or minus 0.54 to plus or minus 0.78%) in chemical plant measurements (bulk and analytical) for fissionable material accountab… more

CALCULATION OF GROUP CROSS SECTIONS FOR HOT MONOATOMIC MODERATOR WITH VARIABLE FLUX WEIGHTING WITHIN GROUPS, 704 CODE 521/RE 145

Description: This code finds inelastic cross-section matrix elements (transfer matrix) for hot monatomic moderator for multigroup calculations by numeric- analytic double integration of Cohen's formula. Several approximations to the actual neutron density ean be used as weight functions over the velocities of the initial groups. Modified and supplemented results are presented on binary cards and/or tape for direct input into the Argonne Transport Theory Codes or the SNG Code, or for offline output. (auth)

An Experimental Evaluation of the Radiation Protection Afforded by a Large Modern Concrete Office Building

Description: Abstract: "An experimental study was made to determine the effective shielding provided by a modern reinforced-concrete office building (AEC Headquarters building) from nuclear fallout. Pocket ionization chambers were used for measurement of the radiation-field strength. Fallout was simulated with distributed and point-source configurations of Co-60 and Ir-192 sources. Four typical sections were selected for study, and experiments were performed on each. These included an external wing with exp… more

Preparation of Pitch-Soluble Uranyl-Organic Compounds

Description: Batch processes on a scale of 250 to 300 g of uranium were developed for the production of uranyl oxinate (8quinolinate) and uranyl malonate. Both compounds are insoluble in water and were found to be suitably soluble in pitch. Uranyl oxinate was prepared by the reaction of an aqueous uranyl nitrate solution with an acetic acid solution of oxine (8-quinolirol) at about 80 deg C. Complete precipitation was accomplished by the addition of ammonium hydroxide. Yields of better than 99.5% were obtai… more

NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF EBR-I MARK III FUEL ELEMENTS AND COMPONENTS

Description: Ultrasonic and eddy current methods were used to inspect EBR-I Mark III fuel elements and componentsUltrasonic techniques were used to inspect for homogeneity of the casting, bonding of the core to the clad on the extruded rod, bonding of the Zircaloy spacer disk to the uranium, and cracks in the Zircaloy rod used for end caps. Eddy current techniques were used to measure the cladding thickness on the extruded rods and to inspect the zirconium wire used for spacers on the completed fuel element… more
