Multipurpose scintillation camera

Description: The scintillation camera is a nonscanning instrument for displaying the distribution of radioactive isotopes. It can be used, for example, to show abnormalities in the thyroid gland with I-131, the size, shape and location of kidneys with Hg-203 Neohydrin or to locate brain tumors either with Hg-203 Neohydrin or with the new positron emitting agent, Ga-68 EDTA. For many applications, the scintillation camera has higher sensitivity than conventional isotope scanners, and will produce pictures in… more

Tory II-C performance as a function of flight mach number and inlet pressure recovery

Description: In a parameter study involving thrust vs. flight Mach number, M.D. Mintz has found that net jet thrust becomes a maximum at about Mach 3.66 if the Tory II-C design value of inlet pressure recovery is used at all Mach numbers. This is not a realistic situation, however, because the attainable pressure recovery decreases markedly with increasing Mach number. The effect of more realistic pressure recovery values are presented in this paper. Two sets of values were employed, which differ by two per… more

Tory II-C off-design performance

Description: This memorandum reports the performance of TORY II-C at off-design altitudes and Mach numbers. Inlet pressure recovery has been varied with Mach number, reasonable values for a real inlet having been chosen. Nozzle throat area and exit area have been fixed at the design values. Hence this study can be used, in conjunction with missile drag data, to construct a flight envelope.

Fireball yield from fractional intensity diameters

Description: It is desired to develop an empirical formula of the type Y=KD[sup n] where Y is the yield in kilotons and D is the `effective diameter` in feet corrected for temperature and pressure variations if necessary.

Investigation of impulsively loaded pressure vessels

Description: Explosion containment vessels for containing from 2,000 to 3,000 five ton nuclear explosions are considered. Analysis methods appear adequate and lowest weights using the most advanced materials available in the next five years are projected.None of these materials can be fabricated today and all require extensive development. Present material technology limits the choice of materials and defines the weight. The addition of safety factors and fixtures (nozzles, etc.) will add to this weight con… more

Porosity gain from increase in core radius and fuel mass in Tory II-C

Description: A set of calculations has been done to determine the amount by which the volume of solid material in a Tory II-C core can be reduced with respect to the total core volume. Three separate problems were studied. In each case, some change was made which by itself would increase the K[sub eff] of the reactor. Then, in order to keep K[sub eff] unchanged, a certain amount of core material was removed. The calculations were done by means of the one-dimensional neutronic diffusion code ZOOM. The base p… more

Increasing the capacity of the Tory II-C Side Support System

Description: The Tory II-C lateral suspension has been designed for 4 g`s of lateral acceleration of the duct. Calculations and model tests indicate that this requirement has been met or exceeded. In order to have a more realistic model to test, Tory II-C springs are going to be fitted around the full scale core slice which was previously built up. Instrumented accelerations of this assembly should give the most direct demonstration that is possible of the response of the system to flight. This memorandum d… more

Control rod studies

Description: This study was undertaken to answer questions asked regarding the required rod stroke for control of modified Tory II-C reactors. All problems described were solved with the Angie code and based on Tory-II-C design problems, RZ 501 and RZ 502, representing hot and cold reactors respectively.

STUDIES IN CONTACT MICRORADIOGRAPHY

Description: Recent developments in techniques for low-voltage radiography have found application for the examination and evaluation of minute details in small or thin specimens. Utilization of x-ray tubes and helium chambers with thin windows for maximum transmission of soft x rays and bare film with dark-room exposure techniques have allowed very high contrast radiographs to be produced on low-contrast materials. These conditions, coupled with very high resolution photographic emulsion detectors, have res… more

Deviation of the Test Program and Procedures for the 710 Critical Experiment Reactor Related to Changes in the Core Material Volume Fractions

Description: This document describes a deviation from the "Test Program and Procedures for the 710 Critical Experiment Reactor Loading and Rod Calibrations," TM-63-1-702, which was made in accordance with ITS Standard Practice J80-81 on March 13, 1963. The deviation did not involve a significant change in the safety of the operation.

Manganese Poisoning--New Insights

Description: Manganese poisoning is discussed as being a clinical model in the study of extrapyramidal disorders. Various technical developments are mentioned which have extended our capabilities for investigating the metabolism of Mn. Some observations are presented on the normal physiology of this element and on some distortions thereof. The high concentration of Mn in malanin granules was noted. These bodies were proposed as possibly reflecting chemical and physical changes underlying some extrapyramidal… more

Electron-Voltaic Cell Study

Description: The properties of Si, GaAs, Ge, and possible beta sources were considered, together with radiation damage to the three materials. Additionally, the characteristics of p-n junction cells under beta activity were derived, and the characteristics of GaAs and Si cells were obtained experimentally. The results indicate that a nuclear battery using GaAs or n-p Si cells with Pm/sup 147/ as the source would operate for 5 to 10 yr with very little radiation damage. Cell characteristics for a given sourc… more
