Biological Effects of Blast. Technical Progress Report

Description: The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects was summarized in a selective manner. Initially, five problems of concern to those who would relate the environmental variations produced by nuclear weapons with biological response and hazard assessment were pointed out. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects were defined and selected interspecies experimental data of a physical and pathophysiological nature useful in estimating human response were prese… more

TRANSIENT RADIATION EFFECTS IN CAPACITORS AND DIELECTRIC MATERIALS

Description: Measurements of dielectric leakage, capacitance, electric strength, andd charge scattering phenomena were performed at the Kukla and Godiva III critical assemblies for tantalum and aluminum electrolytic, wax- and oilimpregnated paper, mylar, mica, and ceramic capacitors, and for mylar and Vitamin B-impregnated paper. Leakage data indicate that gamma induced conductivity in capacitor dielectric varies directly with gamma DELTA , where gamma is the gamma radiation rate and DELTA is 0.9 for mylar,… more

Phase Transformations in Alumina. Technical Report, May to December 1961

Description: e transformation studies showed that synthetic aluminas produced in the laboratory were not transformed to alpha alumina at 400 to 700' deg n the presence of nitric acid and water vapor. Amorphous aluminn produced in the pilot plant was transformed to alpha alumina. This indicated that the amorphous alumina produced in the pilot plant is structurally predisposed to form alpha alumina. Most additives did not appear to have any special effects. Lithium formed zeta alumina, LiAl/sub 5/O/sub 8/. Ph… more

A Mechanism Explaining the Instability of EBR-I, Mark III

Description: Presented at the International Atomic Energy Agencysponsored Seminar on the Physics of Fast and Intermediate Reactors. Vienna, August 3-11, 196l. A feedback model, was developed to account for resonant instabilities in the Mark II core. In this model, the prompt positive power coefficient effect is ascribed to fuel rod bowing and the delayed negative power coefficient effect to thermally lnduced motions in the lower shield plate. Since this model is supported by observations, it is concluded th… more

Feasibility Study of a New Mass Flow System. Quarterly Report No. 5, June 1, 1961 to August 31, 1961

Description: Activities are reported on development work on a mass flow system capable of measuring externally the properties of homogeneous flow, slurries, highly corrosive fluids, and multi-phase fiuids. In the proposed system, the fluid passes through an S-shaped tube wherein measurements of angular momentum and density yield mass flow directly. (B.O.G.)

Research and Development Studies on Waste Storage Process

Description: The basic objectives of this program were the determination of the thermal stability of various fission product oxides and nitrates, and an investigation of the gas phase decomposition of ruthenium tetroxide. To accomplish these objectives, a literature survey was flrst made of available physical and chemical data for the oxides and nitrates of Cs, Sr, Ru, Zr, Nb, and Ce. The data were supplemented by a calculation of thermodynamic functions for RuO/sub 4/ vapor from the experimentally determin… more
