Air blast studies with animals. Part II.

Description: Goats under Nembutal and mice were exposed in a shock tube modified to give longer-duration overpressures and equipped with ports for photography. Except for ear damage, displacement still seemed to be the major cause of injury in goats in the 4-foot section of the tube. However, it was found that mice were killed, apparently by pure blast, in a particular position in a particular type of side chamber attached to the higher-pressure, smaller-diameter, section of the tube. The relation between m… more

BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT DEC. 1960 THROUGH FEB.1961

Description: The current interest in the subject of fiber optics has brought about, among its many achievements, the development of a new technique for measuring refractive index. An instrument designed as a light-pipe refractometer or rod photorefractometer has been described by Kapany and Pike. these authors have presented both a theoretical study of the phenomenon and experimental results arising from a prototype apparatus. The range of applicability of such a device is limited, however, by the availabil… more

CONVERGENCE OF TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS FOR THIN SLAB CELLS

Description: Reported DSN calculations of reactivity worths of heterogeneities in ZPR- III fast critical assemblies, caused by use of various fuel plate and diluent thicknesses, have shown the necessity for high-order approximations to obtain convergence of flux shape and eigenvalue. Convergence properties of solutions for a simplified two-region, oneenergy-group, repetitive slab cell having regional thicknesses and regional cross sections representative of those encountered in some energy -groups of the pr… more

Corrosion of Aluminum and its Alloys in Superheated Steam

Description: The corrosion behavior of pure aluminum and some of its alloys in superheated steam was found to depend markedly on the method of starting the corrosion test. Pure aluminum samples survived only in tests that were brought to temperature and pressure very rapidly. Resistant Al-- Ni-- Fe alloys performed well only if a relatively slow starting procedure was used, suffering extensive blistering or complete disintegration in a test started rapidly. Over the range of temperature and pressure investi… more

Corrosion of Some Reactor Materials in Dilute Phosphoric Acid

Description: Corrosion tests in dilute phosphoric acid (pH 3.5) at elevated temperature are described for X8001 aluminum, 18-8 stainless steels, aluminized carbon steel, and Zircaloy. In a 307-day dynamic test at 18 ft/sec and 315 deg C, X8001 aluminum corroded at a rate of 1/2 mdd for the first 240 days. In subsequent exposures, the corrosion rate increased, but the total average penetration at 307 days was only 0.0005 inch. At 200 days, the total corrosion in this test was one-fiftieth that in distilled w… more

Experimental Evaluation of the Radiation Protection Provided by an Earth- Covered Shelter

Description: against fall-out radiation provided by an earth-covered shelter. The study indicated that the shelter offered excellent protection from fall-out radiation deposited on and around the shelter. This study also added additional data to the research in radiation shielding provided by various structures which is being conducted by the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. A fall-out radiation field was simulated by pumping, at constant speed… more

FILM GROWTH ON ALUMINUM IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE WATER

Description: Film growths on aluminum and two aluminum-1 wt.% nickel alloys in water at 250 and 350 deg C were studied. It was found that oxide growth does not advance on a uniform front but, to the contrary, the advancing surface contains many outcrops in the form of thin platelets, chunky outcrops, and whiskers. With both the pure metal and the alloys considerable intergranular attack was observed. The general corrosion product was usually more uniform in crystal size when formed on the pure metal, but va… more

Gamma-ray scanning techniques for fast breeder reactor safety studies

Description: A radiation scanning device was constructed to observe meltdown of fast breeder reactor fuel elements in the TREAT reactor by means of self gamma emission. Although the original desired specification was to view natural uranium pins with a space resolution of 0.1 in. and a time resolution of 1 millisecond, the system was designed to give the above space resolution, but the time resolution would be 5 milliseconds or longer depending on the signal intensity. The system failed to give satisfactory… more

Offsite Extrusion Program summary report

Description: The coextrusion process for fabricating zircaloy-2 clad metallic uranium fuel elements was developed by Nuclear Metals Incorporated, West concord, Massachusetts. When the coextrusion process was selected for fabricating NPR fuel elements, it became necessary to acquire experience in this process. Since there were no extrusion facilities immediately available at HAPO, it was necessary to initiate a development program using offsite extrusion facilities. Two basic objectives of this program were:… more

PHYSICS ANALYSIS OF PROPOSALS FOR EBWR CORE 2

Description: Two concepts were investigated as possibilities for the next loading of EBWR. One is a light water spiked plutonium recycle system; the second is a conventional uniformly loaded system with the option of different enrichments in two radial zones. It is concluded that the plutonium recycle scheme is not feasible in EBWR at 100 Mw, and recommendation for a two-enrichment loading for various burnups is made. (auth)
