Metallurgy Division Quarterly Report [for] October, November, and December 1955

Description: A total of nine clad plates, containing uranium -5 w/o zirconium 1.5 w/o niobium alloy cores and clad with Zircaloy-II, were rolled in plain carbon steel jackets, heat treated, physically evaluated, and corrosion tested. All these plates were found to be within predetermined dimensional tolerance in width, thickness, length, cladding thickness, and core distribution. Improved control of wielding variables and of the length of the seal pin projecting above the end plugs resulted in the eliminati… more

DATA SET FOR LOW-SPEED REMOTE TERMINALS

Description: Data transmission over telephone lines involves the acceptance of serialized binary data, modulation of the data to a signal suitable to the bandwidth of the telephone. channel, transmission of the signal over the line, reception at the receiving end and demodulation of the signal to reproduce the original binary data. One typical application of data communication is between a low-speed terminal and a computer. In such a case, full-duplex operation is often desirable (i,e., transmission of info… more

Supplement B to Production Test IP-669-AC depleted uranium irradiation smaller reactors

Description: The objective of this supplement is to authorize an increase in the maximum goal exposure of the depleted uranium columns to 2400 MWD/T. The parent documents, while intending to produce 25 Kg of 18 w/o Pu-240, made it clear that these would be minimum requirements and ``every reasonable effort will be made to exceed both {hor_ellipsis} 25 Kg and 18 w/o Pu-240.`` Operation to date shows excellent performance of the target element, and an increase in the depleted uranium goal exposures would both… more

Letter to N.T. Saunders NASA-Lewis Research Center

Description: Studies during the last two years have shown that the pneumatic impaction process is a flexible process for the production of cermet fuel elements. However, there is still much basic information to be acquired about the process before the limits of process capability can be established. Development work proposed herein is intended to continue optimization of the process, to establish the process parameters necessary to a pilot plant or production line operation, and to better define the process… more

Engineering specifications: Thorium oxide target elements

Description: The Engineering Specifications have been established with the purpose of defining the properties of thoria target elements which meet the requirements of the U-233 production program. Insofar as possible, the Specifications define characteristics and dimensions of the product target elements. Where a quality characteristic cannot be satisfactorily defined in the product, control is exercised by limits imposed on the processing conditions. This report presents the engineering specifications for … more

Thermo-physics technical note No. 43: SNAP fuel particle dispersion

Description: An evaluation of particle dispersion from natural and artificial sources has been made relating this information to circulation processes in the mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The data on natural particle and nuclear debris dispersion have been interpreted in terms of their significance in regard to SNAP fuel reentry dispersion and extended by various fall-out time and dispersion calculations.

High-temperature irradiation of niobium-1 w/o zirconium-clad UO/sub 2/. [Compatibility with lithium]

Description: Twenty-four 0.225-in.-diameter and six 0.290-in.-diameter UO/sub 2/ specimens clad with 80 mils of niobium-1 w/o zirconium were irradiated to burnups of 1.4 to 6.0 at. % of uranium at surface temperatures of 900 to 1400/sup 0/C. UO/sub 2/ and lithium were found to be incompatible at these temperatures, and the thick cladding was used primarily to minimize the chances of contact of UO/sub 2/ and the lithium coolant. The thickly clad specimens did not undergo any dimensional changes as a result o… more

Helios pulsed nuclear propulsion concept

Description: A Helios-propelled vehicle would make use of a containment vessel--perhaps 30 feet in diameter--in which small nuclear explosive charges would be placed, together with a few hundred pounds of hydrogen. Firing of a charge would result in bringing the mixture of charge residue and hydrogen to a high temperature--say 5000 or 6000/sup 0/K--and subsequent release through a nozzle would provide propulsive thrust. This process would be repeated several thousand times, at intervals likely to be 10 seco… more

Evaluation of macroreticular anion exchange resin - RTA-893-R

Description: The macroreticular anion exchange resin, Amberlite IRA-900-OH, and an experimental resin from Ionac Chemical Company were irradiated by a /sup 60/Co source to doses of 5 x 10/sup 7/ rad and 10/sup 8/ rad. These doses approximate or exceed the dose encountered by the deionizer resins in 100-Area service. The loss in exchange capacity and the volume changes of Amberlite IRA-900 on irradiation were similar to those found previously for Amberlite IRA-400. The Ionac experimental resin, which had a c… more
