INVESTIGATION OF CAVITATION DAMAGE OF MECHANICAL PUMP IMPELLERS OPERATING IN LIQUID METAL SPACE POWER LOOPS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2, October 1, 1963-December 31, 1963

Description: Water testing of the RI-7C3 impeller in the Pt-2 test stand was completed. Still photographs and movies showed that a vortex was present on the leading edge tip of all blades at NPSH values up to 150 ft at all five test flows of 660, 680, 700, 720, and 740 gpm. Sound data showed a possible correlation with the cavitation performance of the impeller. The sound intensity increased until the tip vortices entered the flow channels and then decreased, reaching a minimum just before head loss occurre… more

Program for the Development of Plutonium Recycle for Use in Light-Water- Moderated Reactors. Eleventh Quarterly Report, October 1-December 31, 1963

Description: A research program is being conducted to obtain experimental data in the irradiation of plutonium-enriched fuel to confirm a theoretical model for predicting isotopic composition and reactivity changes in plutonium-enriched, light-water-moderated reactors. Autoradiographs of unirradiated fuel indicated approximates 10% microsegregation of the PuO/sub 2/. The irradiations of flux wires and the project fuel element in VBWR are described; the fuel element was removed after approximates 5000 Mwd/t … more

SNAP 2/10A HYDRAULIC STUDIES

Description: A partial model of the reactor core was used, and demineralized water was circulated at flow rates determined by the Reynolds analogy to the prototype. Black plastic beads were introduced into the flow stream and photographed by using a Milliken camera recording at 500 frames per second. Calculations showed that 79% of the total mass flow was accounted for by this method. The 21% of the mass flow that was not accounted for was presumed to be due to flow in non- channel areas and in two non-orif… more

EG&G Rover progress report for 1-31 January 1964. Report No. L-64

Description: This report describes EG&G activities in support of the Rover Program for the month of January, 1964. Details are discussed in succeeding sections and in the appendices with respect to the various tasks included in our scope of work. At Test Cell A., the Facility Mapping Test, EP-IV, was success- fully completed. Preparation continued for the NRX-AL program scheduled for February, 1964. At Test Cell C., a high flow acoustics test, EP- 1, was conducted. This was the last experimental plan to be … more

THE SNAPKIN VI COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SNAP REACTOR KINETICS CALCULATIONS

Description: S>The computer program SNAPWN VI is described which solves the space- independent reactor kinetics equations with feedback equations representing the principal shutdown mechanisms in a SNAP reactor. Reflector delay effects are treated by a reflector group model. By using an alternate main program and two alternate subroutines, spatially dependert feedback effects may be considered. Printed, CRT, and punchcard output may be obtained optionally. Sample problems are demonstrated for both versions … more
