Contribution of Neutral Pions to Photon-Proton Scattering

Description: "The correction to photon-photon scattering processes due to the existence of the particles other than electrons is reported. The correction is of the same order in the electric charge as the lowest order term in the perturbation expansion in quantum electrodynamics, although the relevant corrections to the electron-photon and electron-electron scattering are all of higher order."

EVALUATION OF ULTIMATE DISPOSAL METHODS FOR LIQUID AND SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTES. PART II. CONVERSION TO SOLID BY POT CALCINATION

Description: The costs of pot calcination of Purex and Thorex wastes were calculated. The wastes were assumed produced by a plant processing 1500 ton/year of U converter fuel at a burnup of 10,000 Mwd/ton and 270 ton/year of Th converter fuel at 20,000 Mwd/ton. Costs were calculated for processing Purex waste in acidic and reacidified forms and for processing Thorex wastes in acidic and reacidified forms and with constituents added for producing an acidic Thorex glass. Calcination vessel designs were right ā€¦ more

Experimental and Analytical Reactivity Studies of Clean Critical Stainless Steel Cores

Description: ABS>The results are presented of critical water height measurements made on close-packed lattices of Spert III, highly enriched, plate-type, stainless- steel-clad fuel elements. Experiments were conducted with cores containing no control rods and with cores containing a single, fully-inserted control rod. The "clean critical" data obtained in these experiments were used to test the validity of various aspects of a four-group, diffusion theory analysis of the full scale Spert III reactor. The reā€¦ more

Explanation of the high temperature obtained in the Intermediate Power Test

Description: It is now generally known by those working on Tory II-A that the average maximum fuel element wall temperature obtained during the Intermediate Power Test was somewhat higher than the 2250 degrees F design value. The purpose of this report is to explain how this occurred.

FABRICATION OF BOILER SECTION FOR BOILING-LIQUID-METAL LOOP

Description: A 4-ft-long boiler was successfully fabricated for a boiling-liquid- metal loop. This involved brazing massive copper blocks betwveen a thin-walled stainless steel tube and a thin-gage stainless steel jacket. Essentially 100% bonding to the tube was required while a few areas of nonbond were permitted in the copper-to-jacket braze. The brazing was accomplished in vacuum, using an electrolessdeposited nickel-phosphorus alloy and slurry-deposited nickel-chromium --phosphorus alloy. Bonding was beā€¦ more

Final results of production test IP-348-I, K area low-flow calibration test

Description: K area emergency water backup studies have been hampered by poor data on flow through the reactor under various emergency conditions. Various tests have been run where emergency conditions have been simulated and flow measurements attempted. In all previous tests, the accuracy of the flow measurements have been questionable. Flow from the high-pressure crosstie can be measured by an orifice in the crosstie, but there has not been any method of measuring the service water contribution to total rā€¦ more

Fuel performance comparison old reactors, March 1960--December 1960

Description: In relation to evaluation of the block discharge mode of operation, data for comparison of fuel rupture performance of the old reactors have been assembled, and are transmitted herein. We have analyzed these data and the results are also transmitted in this report. Based on analysis of rupture experience from March through December, 1960, adjusted for differences in power, temperature, exposure, and throughput, there are no significant differences in fuel rupture performance between the old reaā€¦ more

THE H-3 IRRADIATION EXPERIMENT: IRRADIATION OF EGCR GRAPHITE. Interim Report No. 1

Description: Electric Co. Hanford Atomic Products Operation, RichIrradiation experiments are being performed in the GETR to determine the long-term stability of EGCR graphite. The results of two experiments with a peak total exposure equivalent to 38,000 MWD/AT in the EGCR are available. This is approximately one half the expected lifetime exposure of the EGCR. The H-3-l and H-3-2 capsules contained samples of EGCR graphite and reference CSF graphite. Both capsules were identical and were irradiated sequentā€¦ more

Heat transfer experiments simulating a failure of the inlet piping to a BDF reactor process tube

Description: Laboratory heat transfer experiments were conduced to investigate fuel element temperatures which could result from coolant flow loss following a failure of the inlet piping to a process tube at a B, D, F, DR, or H reactor. The results are reported herein. Failure of the inlet coolant piping between the front header and the process tube on a reactor would stop the normal flow of cooling water to the fuel elements. Such a failure should immediately initiate a reactor shutdown, but the only meansā€¦ more

Hydromagnetic Ionizing Waves

Description: It is possible to generate a relatively uniform, highly ionized plasma by passing a powerful discharge between electrodes so arranged that the current is forced to flow across an initial strong magnetic field. The magnetic induction due to the discharge causes a bending of the original field. If the discharge is operated with a low-impedance current source, the electric breakdown starts in a limited region near the current-input connections (minimum-inductance path) and propagates as a well-defā€¦ more

Internal Bunching in the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron

Description: Four methods of rebunching protons within Brooknaven's AGS are discussed. The first method involving switching off the old r-f and switching on the new r-f simultaneously with the new r-f increasing adiabatically seems impractical. Two other methods utilize gradual removal of the old r-f voltage and introduction of the new r-f voltage, or the reverse. Removal of the old r-f voltage followed by introduction of the new seems to give the best results. Several phase diagrams are included. (D.C.W.)
