Report on discussion of Pinex experiment with J-12 group at Los Alamos

Description: Plans for participation in Operation Hardtack include performance of a Pinex experiment on three barge-based events: Nutmeg, Hickory, and Juniper. The J-12 group at Los Alamos has been planning for a group of similar experiments. Inclusion of Pinex in the Hardtack diagnostic program occurred considerably later; also, J-12 has successfully carried out two Pinex experiments during Operation Plumbbob. This visit was made to take the fullest possible advantage of their experience to date. Discussio… more

Monitoring of direct chemical assay of fabricated parts

Description: The specification for the plutonium content of fabricated parts requires that for each three-months production a statistical estimate be made of process variance (variation in actual plutonium content from part to part). Prior to the fourth quarter of 1956, this requirement was met by the following indirect technique: Chemical assay was made of at least one-half the parts produced; by-difference analysis (subtraction of the measured impurities from 100 per cent) was made of all parts produced; … more

Tests on Models of Nuclear Reactor Elements - Studies of Diffusion

Description: To estimate the distribution of temperature in the proposed nuclear reactor, one must determine a coefficient of eddy diffusivity and devise a suitable method of computing the heat transfer. Measurements of diffusion in a model of a blanket element for the proposed reactor indicated a gross eddy diffusion coefficient of about 0.002 (? .0005) ft{sup 2}/sec. Thus, the apparent eddy diffusion for the test conditions is about 200 times the molecular diffusivity of water and about. twice that of the… more

Tests on Models of Nuclear Reactor Elements - Head Losses in Core Sub-Assemblies

Description: Losses have been determined for flow through models of various proposed core sub-assemblies as part of a study of the elements of a nuclear reactor. Six core sections and two? axial blanket sub-assemblies have been compared on the basis of drop in piezometric. head or pressure drop. The core sub-assemblies are composed of an entrance nozzle, a lower axial blanket section, the core section, an upper axial blanket section, and a short section for the handling lug. The four parts of the sub-assemb… more

Transient Thermal Stresses in Pressure Vessels - Part I: Transient Temperature Distribution - Description of Computer Program

Description: This report describes an IBM 704 Computer program for the calculation of transient temperature distribution in axially symmetric solid or hollow bodies. It is the first part of Transient Thermal Stresses in Pressure Vessels. The present report mainly describes the use of the computer program and gives, for two problems, a comparison between computed and analytically known results. The analysis is reported briefly in this report.

An Investigation of the Application of the Gas Generator-Free Turbine Cycle to a Nuclear Powered Aircraft

Description: This study has investigated the feasibility of installing a gas generator-free turbine type power plant in the R3Y aircraft, using a circulating fuel reactor as a power source. Two variations of the cycle were considered. The split flow cycle bleeds high temperature, high pressure air from the gas generator directly to the free turbine in the wing. The through flow cycle partially expands the high temperature, high pressure air through the compressor turbine of the gas generator then directs th… more

HIGH TEMPERATURE MODERATOR PROGRAM

Description: The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the high temperature hydride moderator program proposed for the.Metallurgy Division. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide physical and mechanical property data required by the reactor designers, (2) to develop methods for fabricating moderator assemblies, and (3) to devise.and conduct tests to evaluate these· assemblies. The requirements in each of these areas and the work proposed to meet them are outlined.

Comparison of the Corrosion Resistance of Some High-Nickel Content Brazing Alloys to Fuel Compositions 44 and 107

Description: Non-chromium bearing brazing alloys containing large percentages of nickel (89 to 93 wt%) show good corrosion resistance to the NaF-KF-LiF-UF{sub 4} (11.2-41.0- 45.3-2.5 mole %, fuel 107) mixture at 1500{degrees}F under seesaw-test conditions. Corrosive action by fuel 107 was greater than that by NaF-ZrF{sub 4}-UF{sub 4} (53.5-40.0- 6.5 mole %, fuel 44) mixture on nickel-base brazing alloys tested.

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF SUPERCHARGED NUCLEAR RAMJET PROPULSION SYSTEM

Description: A preliminary analysis has been made to compare the performance.of a ceramic ramjet reactor powerplant, such as described in General Electric Report No. XDC-56-5-81, with that of such a powerplant supercharged by a metallic-vapor-cycle compressor jet. Performance at sea level, Mach 2.5 is ·reported for the vapor-cycle compressor jet alone, for the ramjet alone, and for the compressor jet - ramjet combination. Results indicate that adding the compressor-jet as a supercharger for the ramjet provi… more

The Influence of Lubrication on the Compactability of Magnesium-Green Salt Blends for Bomb Reduction

Description: Lubrication of die surfaces with mineral oil or Dag 217 during final compacting of UF/sub 4/--Mg blends prevented seizing. Mineral oil application after every third press allowed 18 compacts before seizing became severe. Similar application of Dag 217 allowed 78 compacts. Mixing 0.33 wt.% Ceremul "C" with the powder allowed 40 compacts. Punch clearance had little effect on seizing. (T.R.H.)
