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

Preliminary Solution Critical Experiments for the High-Flux Isotope Reactor

Description: Report containing experiments conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Critical Experiments Facility. These experiments involved "determining the critical parameters of the assembly with varying amounts of neutron absorber in the D20 reflector, measuring the relative neutron flux distribution for various conditions of reflector poison and fissile solution concentration, determining the ratio of the absolute thermal-neutron flux in the center of the assembly to the power in the fissile s… 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
