High Pressure Research at Low Temperatures

Description: Two principle reasons exist for the extension of high pressure research to temperatures near absolute zero. First, the comparison of certain data with theory (such as the pressure-volume relationship) is more meaningful if the effects of thermal vibrations can be ignored. Second, there are phenomena which can be studied only at low temperatures. These include superconductivity, the properties of solid helium and other inert gases, some electronic phenomena, etc.

Operating physics factors with zirconium tubes at the K Reactors

Description: This document lists the physics factors for the K Reactors following the transition to the KV fuel element geometry and zirconium tubes. Each new parameter with the zirconium tube lattice has been calculated relative to the factors used with aluminum tubes and the KIV fuel elements. The purpose of this document is to provide working values for plant assistance use during the transition to the zirconium lattice. In some cases, where there are large uncertainties in the absolute values, the conse… more

Spert III Spun Cast Pipe Experience

Description: Centrifugally cast stainless steel piping was selected for the primary piping of Spert III, a 2500-psi, 650 deg F water moderated and cooled nuclear reactor system, because of the significant cost advantage of using cast piping and because of favorable results from metallurgical examinations of the material. Essentially no operating experience was available at that time on the performance of cast piping in elevated pressure and temperature service. Presented are a brief history of operational e… more

Comment issue N-Reactor startup physics test program test procedures -- approach to critical and minimum critical size

Description: This document describes the detailed test procedures to be used during the initial phases of the physics test program--the approach to critical and minimum critical size tests. During these initial phases, several physics characteristics of the reactor will be evaluated in addition to determination of the critical loading. Overall flux distributions will be determined in the critical pile and used to evaluate the lattice buckling characteristics. Theoretical calculations normalized to experimen… more

Fabrication Development of U-Mo-UO$sub 2$ and U-Mo-UC Dispersion Fuels for the ENRICO Fermi Fast-breeder Reactor

Description: The fabricability of dispersion fuels using UO/sub 2/ or UC as the dispersoid and uranium combined with 10 to 15 wt% Mo as the matrix was investigated. Cores containing l7.8 wt% UO/sub 2/ dispersed in U-- 15 wt.% Mo were successfully fabricated to about 80% of theoretical density by cold pressing at 50 tsi, sintering at 1100 deg C, and cold coining at 50 tsi. Comparable results were obtained with UC as the dispersoid. Core fabrication results varied greatly with the type of matrix powder used. … more

Pump Loops Used for Materials Testing in High Temperature Aqueous Solutions and Slurries

Description: Pump loops designed to operate at temperatures and pressures to 320 deg C and 2000 psia are described. The loops were used to circulate uranyl sulfate solutions and aqueous thoria slurries in out-of-pile tests for the aqueous homogeneous reactor program. As this phase of the aqueous homogeneous reactor program was completed, the loops were converted for use in studies of materials of interest to other types of reactors. Solutions or slurries are circulated in the loops by means of a 100-gpm can… more

Vapor-Liquid Equilibria for Aqueous Sulfuric Acid

Description: The composition of the vapor phase over sulfuric acid has not been measured experimentally because of the low volatility of H{sub 2}SO{sub 4}. A method is described for calculating the partial pressures of H{sub 2}O, H{sub 2}SO{sub 4}, and SO{sub 3} based upon liquid-phase partial-molal thermodynamic quantities. Tables and graphs are provided which give the above partial pressures from -50 to 400 C at thirty-six compositions between 10 and 100 weight-percent acid.

Low flow tubes

Description: A study on low flow in tubes indicates that the below normal coolant flow is due to an abnormality in the rear hardware. It is suggested that reaming the rear Parker fittings on the tubes and subsequently inspecting the venturi gauges is an good solution.

Corrections to [Mu]-e Scattering: Numerical Integrations

Description: The radiative corrections to [Mu]-e scattering calculated by Kahane involve difficult integrations over the moments of "hard" photons. We have evaluated some of these numerically and obtained results compatible with Kahane's estimates of the errors in his approximate analytic results.

Transistorized 10-Mc Decade Scaler

Description: This scaler was designed to replace an obsolescent tube design that was in general use at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore. The new design, using solid state devices and printed circuit modules, allows two complete scalers in one frame to occupy the same rack space as the tube design. Switches in the input circuits of the new scaler change input impedance and sensitivity for operation with either tube or transistor circuits. The use of transistors has greatly increased reliability, an… more

Effect of Long-Range Interactions on Order

Description: Harrison and Paskin (HP) have calculated the ordering energy of β-CuZn using recent theoretical techniques of treating electron screening and Mott's polar model of an alloy. Good agreement is obtained between the calculated total energy of the order-disorder transformation and specific heat measurements. A consequence of the HP calculation is that the ordering energy is long-range and oscillates in sign. Walker and Keating recently measured the neutron diffuse scattering of β-CuZn above the cri… more

Light-Droven Cytochrome Reactions in Anacystis and Euglena

Description: The basic similarity in cytochrome physiology between Anacystis nidulans ad Euglena gracilis, strains Z, is impressive in view of their gross dissimilarities in size, structure, and pigment content. We have investigated the cytochrome reactions by sensitive spectrophotometric methods in order to gain some insight into the patterns of energy transfer from the various light receptors to the reaction centers involved in the two photochemical reactions of green plant photosynthesis and also to eluc… more

Manganese Poisoning - New Insights

Description: The heavy metal intoxications involving the brain may be divided into two groups: One, in which the offending metal is clearly a poison, such as mercury or lead; and a second, in which the offending agent is normally an essential constituent of the body. The latter category would include manganese poisoning, copper poisoning (or Wilson's disease) and, if some recent data are valid, Huntington's chorea, in which iron seems to have been implicated. Our interest in the second category of diseases … more

The model is analyzed using the IBM 7094 digital computer programed in FORTRAN language. Working curved, derived with the aid of dimensional analysis, can be used to evaluate rate constants from experimental data.
