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

Basic Studies of Chemical Stability in Extraction Systems. I. The Effect of Zirconium Nitrate and Nitric Acid Upon the Chemical Stability of Tributyl Phosphate

Description: The effect of extracted zirconium and nitric acid upon the chemical stability of tributyl phosphate was investigated using gas-liquid chromatography. Tributyl phosphate was degraded approximately 1000 times faster by the tributyl phosphate-zirconium reaction than by the tributyl phosphatenitric acid reaction. Normal butyl nitrate was the major volatile product for both systems studied; with extracted zirconium a solid complex corresponding to the formula Zr(NO/sub 3/ )/sub 2/(DBP)/sub 2/ was al… 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

C-Reactor graphite burnout interim report, 1P-25A(PT-105-532-E)

Description: The oxidation of graphite in the Hanford reactors is of consequence since graphite burnout affects the strength of the moderator. As a means for indication of any highly oxidizing condition within the stack, containers or boats of small weighed samples of reactor-grade graphite are positioned along the length of an empty process channel in each reactor. The rate of oxidation of the monitoring samples, referred to as the burnout rate, is reported as percent weight lose per 1000 operating days (%… more

Causes of Variation in Chemical Analyses and Physical Tests of Portland Cement

Description: Report discussing variations in comparative tests of portland cements that could lead to the rejection of a material fully conforming to specification requirements, or the acceptance of a material with undesirable chemical or physical properties. Many of the causes for variation in chemical analyses and physical test results are listed in this discussion, and remedies for some of the more frequently encountered deficiencies in apparatus and methods are suggested.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A VAPOR VOLUME FRACTION INSTRUMENT

Description: The preliminary design is described of equipment to carry out experiments on boiling burnout in which the average coolant density as a function of coolant channel length as well as local coolant densities may be measured. It appears that by use of the equipment, average densities can be accomplished in a few seconds, while determination of a complete density map (with 5% error) across a plane of the assembly requires approximately one hour.

CONTROLLED SAFETY TEST ROD WITHDRAWAL TRANSIENTS (POWER RANGE). CORE I, SEED 2, EFPH 2248. Section 2. Test Results T-612393-C

Description: Tests were conducted to obtain data on the dynamic response of the plant to various power range control rod withdrawal transients. The Reactor plant responded generally as expected. Comparison of data with simulator studies revealed that transients were more severe and had less measurable differences between the 20, 40, and 60% power runs than those transients predicted.

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

Cost estimate for reduction of P{sub 32} in reactor effluent

Description: The proposal to reduce P{sub 32} in reactor effluent by increasing aluminum sulphate and bauxite feed to 18 ppm while maintaining 7.0 pH water is estimated to cost $1,368,000.
