Evaluation of tensile specimen types used for uranium

Description: An evaluation was undertaken to compare the results of various thicknesses of flat tensile specimens with results of round specimens from the same uranium plate, and to analyze the effect of some of the fabrication and testing variables on the test results. Flat specimens gave good reproducibility, particularly at thicknesses of 0.150 and 0.200 inch, but showed biases when compared to round specimens which varied as a function of thickness. Fabrication variables such as omitting hand polishing … more

A Digital Intermittent Data Flow Magnetic Tape Recording System

Description: A unique mechanical drive system with associated transistorized circuitry has been developed to allow digital recording on magnetic tape at carrying data flow rates. The present system records on command at rates up to 40 characters per second with a packing density of 200 characters per inch. The output is on half-inch magnetic tape in a format compatible with conventional playback equipment.

Aqueous Processing of Thorium Fuels, Part 2

Description: The status of aqueous processing methods for tharium fuels is reviewed. A specially designed 250-ton shear was successfully tested for shearing full-size simulated Consolidated Edison type unirradiated assemblies into 0.25-1.5 in. lengths.

Design and Analysis of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor Fuel Assemblies

Description: The design of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor fuel assemblies is described and a brief outline of the experimental heat transfer and fluid dynamic studies and mechanical testing is given, and he results of their application to the fuel element analysis are shown. The failure criteria are presented, the hot-channel factors are described, and the expected fission-gas pressure buildup within the elements is discussed.

Adsorption of Activated Nitrogen

Description: The information obtained in this experiment was deduced by measuring the pumping speed as a function of the energy of the incident electrons and as a function of the energy which ions hit the surface.
