An Analysis to Determine the Percentage of Helium Bypassing the Core Due to the Reflector Sealing System During Normal Operation of the Htgr

Description: The percentage of helium which will bypass the core if the reflector system shown is used is predicted. It is estimated that nominally about 0.1 to 0.2% of the total flow will bypass the core, which is not considered excessive. The most difficult parameter to determine was Z, the gap between the sealing surfaces. The method used to predict Z is presented. The effect of bowing due to a temperature gradient across the seals is discussed. (auth)

Artificial cooling of the Columbia River by dam regulation, 1960

Description: This report discusses benefits in an increase in the flow of water from the lower depths of the Grand Coulee Dam which was used to lower river temperature at HAPO. A net average daily reduction of over 1.2{degree}C resulted at HAPO with a peak of 2.7{degree}C. The Net Production gain from temperature change was 6910 MWD and the Cost of Control was: Grand Coulee Charges $3,120.00, and other (Estimated) 6,880.00 for a total of $10,00.00.

Description: A graphical compilation is presented of atomic and molecular cross sections of interest to controlled thermonuclear research. The cross sections are shown, as a function of energy, for collision processes involving molecular ion dissociation, charge exchange, excitation, ionization, photoionization, scattering, energy loss, and recombination. Pertinent nuclear cross sections are also included. A bibliography is given covering the literature since 1950. (auth)

Calculated Transient Pressures Due to Impulse and Ramp Perturbations to Ventilating Systems in Buildings 3019, 3026, 3508, and 4507

Description: As part of a general hazard review survey conducted by the Chemical Technology Division of its facilities, transient pressures due to impulse and ramp perturbations to the cell ventilating systems of buildings 3019, 3026, and 4607 and the closed glove box system of 3508 were calculated. From the portions of the pressure curves above atmospheric pressure, volumes of gas outleakage were estimated; thus the amount of activity released can be calculated if an estimate of the activity concentration … more

Chlorotriammineplatinum(II) Ion : Acid Hydrolysis and Isotopic Exchange of Chloride Ligand

Description: Abstract: The acid hydrolysis of [Pt(NH3)3Cl] has been shown to occur to a measurable extent. for this reaction: [APt(NH3)cCl]+ + H2O [chemical equilibrium symbol with rate constant k-1 above and k1 below] [Pt(NH3)c(H2O)]++ + Cl-, the equilibrium quotient was measured at 25 degree C and 35 degree C. At 25 degree C this quotient was 8.4 x 10-5 at [Mu] (ionic strength) = 0 and 25 x 10-5 at [mu] = .318 M. This variation is consistent with the expected changes in activity coefficients.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF A STEAM-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR

Description: A conceptual design and economic evaluation of 300 and 40 MW/.sub e/ steam-cooled fast breeder reactor power plants were performed. A reactor core composed of U-Pu oxide rod-type fuel elements clad with Inconel-X and surrounded by a blanket of depleted UO/sub 2/ fuel was studied in some detail. Reactor breeding ratios of from 1.27 to 1.5 and overall system doubling times of from 20 to 30 years are achievable. For the near term (1967) 300 MW/sub e/ plant, an energy cost of 7.6 mills/kwh is estim… more

Corrosion Associated With Hydrofluorination in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Fluoride Volatility Process

Description: Studies carried out on corrosion associated with the hydrofluorination- dissolution phase in the fused-salt Fluoride Volatility Process are summarized. Corrosion for hydrofluorination-dissolver vessels used in bench-scale and semiworks-scale process development at ORNL is discussed. The results of a study on construction materials for the dissolution phase are presented. Corrosion studies at ANL are described for comparison purposes. A full-size hydrofluorinator dissolver is described. (M.C.G.)

THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN HIGH-VELOCITY WATER AT 170 TO 290 C

Description: Short-term corrosion tests with types 1100, 5154, 6061, and X8001 aluminum alloys were conducted in water at flow rates rsnging between 20 and 107 fps and at temperatures between 170 and 290 deg C. Corrosion of the alloys was less dependent on flow rate in the range of 20 to 67 fps than at higher velocities. At temperatures as high as 230 deg C no evidence of localized attack, except for random shallow pitting, was exhibited by these alloys, and all had comparable corrosion rates. At 260 and 29… more

Current status of H Reactor total control

Description: This document presents the total control aspects of the current blanket and central zone E-N loading at H Reactor based on the calculational parameters in Physics of E-N Load compared to Natural Uranium Load at H Reactor, D.I. Monnie, May 11, 1961. The original charge for the E-N core load at H Reactor, (19.37 in. E to 1 in. N) was found to be more reactive than desirable for maximum production efficiency. Therefore a less reactive E to N ratio (18.14 in. E to 1 in. N) has now replaced the orig… more
