Transient Temperature Distributions in a Thermally Orthotropic Plate With Non-Uniform Surface Heating

Description: ent temperature variation in a thermally orthotropic plate which is subjected to an arbitrary heating rate distribution along one face with all other surfaces being insulated. Dimensionless temperature histories and distributions determined from this solution are presented for the special, but representative, case of a linearly varying heating rate distribution on plates with varying degrees of thermal orthotropy. These results establish quantitatively the value of a material with high planar a… more

A Theoretical Study of the Transient Operation and Stability of Two-Phase Natural Circulation Loops

Description: Mathematical models of the time-dependent behavior of two-phase natural- circulation loops were used to predict the operation and to explain the unusual instability sometimes observed. The initial results obtained for a loop similar to the Univ. of Minnesota loop were used to formulate a more complex and accurate model, and the predicted transient behavior was in close agreement with the experimental results from the Minnesota loop. For a 300psia, high-pressure loop, unstable oscillatory behavi… more

Dynamic Simulation of Multi-Pass Pressurized Water Nuclear Power Plants by Analog Computer Techniques

Description: A kinetic model of the primary loop of a multi-pass pressurized water reactor power plant is developed to evaluate, by analog computer techniques, the transient response characteristics under conditions of steam generator load and reactor control rod perturbations. Using the 2-pass 28 Mw(t) SM-2 reactor as a typical plant, transient behavior patterns are illustrated and examined for a variety of load inputs, variations in plant constants, and analog model simplifications.

SL-1 Annual Operating Report: February, 1960-January 3, [1961]

Description: The Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1 (SL-1) was a boiling water reactor demonstration plant for remote military bases. The plant had been operated by Combustion Engineering, Inc. from February, l959 until January 3, 1961 at which time a nuclear excursion rendered the plant inoperable, This report summarizes the of operations of maintenance, test, health and safety, and administrative activities for the year February, 1960 until the incident.

The Boron-Carbon System: Final Technical Report, May 1, 1960 - April 30, 1961

Description: Abstract: The boron-carbon equilibrium diagram has been determined by X-ray, metallographic, and thermal analysis of sintered and arc-cast alloys. A single carbide having a range of solubility from approximately 9 to 20 a/o carbon and melting congruently exists in the system. The terminal solubility of carbon in boron is 0.1-0.2a/o. The freezing reaction at the composition and melting temperature of elemental boron; there is a eutectic reaction at 29a/o carbon and 2375 degrees Celcius. No allot… more

Feasibility Study of a New Mass Flow System : Quarterly Report No. 4 Covering the Period from March 1, 1961 to May 31, 1961

Description: This is the fourth quarterly report that documents a system of mass flow that can record measurements of homogeneous flow, slurries, highly corrosive fluids and multiphase fluids, additionally considering pressure drops, measuring external to the flow, ruggedness and reliability.

BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT - MARCH THROUGH MAY1961

Description: The study of meteorite Murray has been reported in previous Quarterly Reports. This report gives further results with Murray, and information on another meteorite, Orgueil. A sample of Orgueil was sent from the Museum National d Histoire Naturelle, Paris. It fell in several pieces over an area of 2 square miles near Orgueil, France, in 1864. The elemental analysis of this meteorite is shown in Table 1. They extracted a 10.07-g sample of this meteorite with water, using the same procedure as tha… more

Reduction of the amount of dichromate added to reactor cooling water: Interim report, Production Test-IP-321-A

Description: Reduced process water treatment costs and incidental benefits of smaller hexavalent chromium discharge to the Columbia River provided incentives to conduct a half-reactor production test. The sodium dichromate (Na{sub 2} Cr{sub 2} O{sub 7}2H{sub 2}O) concentration in process water supplied to the far side of 105-C was lowered from a nominal value of 1.8 to 1.0 parts per million (ppM). This test was started September 26, 1960 and is still in progress. However, a sufficient amount of data is avai… more

KER-3 operating report test K-3-13, PT-1P-363-A. Irradiation of ZR-2 jacketed enriched single tube fuel elements in the KER Loops

Description: The objective of the test was to evaluate the behavior during irradiation of nominally 1.739 inch OD, 1.074 inch ID, Zircaloy-2 jacketed single tube fuel elements with brazed end closures at operating conditions somewhat more severe than those expected for N Reactor fuel element outer tubes. The test elements were fabricated with the Be-Zr alloy brazed end closure planned for use on N Reactor fuel elements. Iron supports were used to minimize process tube scratching during charge-discharge.
