A Proposal for the Mc2 Isochronous Cyclotron: A General Purpose High-Intensity 810-MeV Proton Accelerator

Description: Abstract: "The Oak Ridge National Laboratory proposes to build an isochronous eight-sector proton cyclotron to provide an extracted beam in excess of 100 A at 810 MeV. The primary proton beam and the secondary meson and neutron beams will be used to investigate nuclear structure, and the interactions between elementary particles. Biomedical and Space-oriented research programs are also planned. Shielded research areas and an extensive beam transport and analysis system are provided. Theoretical… more

TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYZING NONSTATIONARY VIBRATION DATA

Description: Methods are described and discussed, from a general viewpoint, for analyzing data on non-stationary vibrations. The analysis must take into account both frequency and time as variables, so the methods used are complex and voluminous. The case is also considered in which the vibrations are non- stationary but repetitive. The application of the methods discussed in analysis of missile-vibration problems is outlined. (T.F.H.)

The Crosscorrelation Method of Measuring System Dynamic Response

Description: The basic relations of the crosscorrelation method are presented; and variations of the method for dealing with practical cases for which the idealized relations are inaccurate due to finite experiment length, finite bandwidth of the input signal, and uncorrelated noise in the system response signal are discussed and demonstrated.

Shield Small Source Experiments. Summary Report

Description: A shielding experiment was performed that provided a proof test of the shield calculation methods used in the MCR shield desing and provides a partial confirmation of cross-section data. Measurements were made with a gamma spectrometer behind a configuration consisting of a layer of gamma shielding material followed by a neutron shield, with the configuration exposed to neutrons from a Po --Be source. The test configuration is illustrated. Secondary gamma rays produced in the assembly were meas… more

An Evaluation of the Substitution of Zircaloy for Stainless Steel in n.s. Savannah Fuel-Element Containers. Summary Report

Description: The possibility of reducing fuel-cycle costs for the N.S. SAVANNAH by replacing the stainless steel fuelelement containers in the permanent reactor core structure by similar containers of a zirconium alloy was investigated. These containers, although not integral parts of the fuel-bearing components, are located within the active core and divide the core into 32 separate channels into which the fuel elements are placed. Areas of investigation included reactor physics, fuel-cycle economics, mate… more

Physical Limitations on the Measurement of Transient Fields in Air and in Dissipative Media Using Electric and Magnetic Probes

Description: The properties of electric and magnetic probes for the measurement of transient electromagnetic fields in air and in dissipative media are discussed briefly, It is shown that the effective height of an electrically small loop is independent of the ambient medium. This is also virtually true for a thin electrically short dipole (or monopole). If the open-circuit voltage of a magnetic probe can be measured accurately, it is possible (in principle) to reconstruct the time history of the incident m… more

A Sensitive Radiation Monitor for a Large Laboratory Area

Description: An instrument has been built to survey releases of radioactivity within the 22-acre enclosure of the Savannah River Laboratory. The device consists of a 2-in.diameter x 2-in. sodium iodide scintillation crystal with associated detector counting and recording circuits which provide a permanent record of radioactivity movements within the Laboratory area. The monitor detects signals of 6.9 mu r/hr from a 0.48-curie cobalt-60 source located 265 ft away. (auth)

Corrosion Experience with Aluminum Powder Products

Description: Extrusions of aluminum alloy powder products were obtained from several sources and evaluated for corrosion resistance to high-temperature (260-- 350 deg C) water. Several types of tubing impact-extruded by ALCOA were tested. The stronger tabing (M655) failed very rapidly. The weaker tubing suffered extensive localized surface attack and penetration of the corrosion attack along the extrusion direction after prolonged ( approximates 3 months) exposure to 290 deg C water. A precorrosion heat tre… more

Compounds in the Binary Phase Diagrams of the Monovalent Chlorides With the Multivalent Chlorides

Description: The phase-diagram literature was surveyed to the end of 1960. Information about the binary systems of monovalent with multivalent chlorides was observed. Compounds of double chlorides occurring in these systems are listed in tabular form together with the available structural information. (auth)
