Experience in the Fabrication of Uranium - 233 Bearing ThO2UO2 Rods in a Lightly Shielded Facility at ORNL

Description: The potential of the thorium fuel cycle for achieving low nuclear fuel costs is complicated by the presence of 232U associated with 233U formed in the reactor. The decay of the 232U daughters produces penetrating radiation making the consideration of shielding and fast process times mandatory. The construction and operation of a lightly shielded, semi remote factify, known as the Kilorrod Facility, in which fuel rods containing (Th-3 wt % 233U)O2 are fabricated, is the first step in determining… more

Studies in Boiling with Liquid Potassium

Description: The experimental program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory into the thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of boiling alkali liquid metals has been continued without essential changes in either scope or direction. While all aspects of the work are being pursued, this report is concerned only with those portions of these studies involving convection boiling with potassium. This report has two sections: (1) Forced-convection experiments; and (2) Superheat studies.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory Target Preparation Program

Description: In early 1961 a Target Fabrication Center was established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to carry out the routine preparation of a wide variety of targets and to provide research and development support to the target program. Although most of the effort concerned enriched stable isotopes, both normal and radioactive materials are also handled. With the aid of rolling mills, resistance-heat and electron-bombardment vacuum evaporation, presses, and electroplating equipment, targets of elements … more

Cumulative Bibliography of Literature Examine by the Radiation Shielding Information Center

Description: This bibliography represents the first cumulative edit of the literature examined by the Radiation Shielding Information Center recently established at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Its two major sections consist of a list of documents by subject category and of an author index. The document list covers nine major subjects with a total of 118 categories; however, literature specimens have not yet been entered for all categories. If a document applies to more than one category, it is listed… more

Experiments on a Large Volume Electron-Cyclotron Heated Plasma

Description: As part of the thermonuclear effort at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, large volume high-beta plasmas have recently been produced by microwave power at the electron-cyclotron frequency. The original work was done with 13-cm microwave radiation in a magnetic mirror and was reported at Salzburg. Since that time, higher frequency and higher power radiation has been used in a succession of experiments. The current experiments involve heating a plasma in the EPA Facility which has a 3:1 magnetic mirr… more
