Microwave Impedance Measurements and Standards

Description: Report presenting a survey and discussion of well-known microwave impedance measurement techniques. The discussion includes an introduction which emphasizes basic concepts and reflection coefficient-voltage standing-wave ratio relationships. Sources of error in the various measurement techniques are discussed and methods to reduce errors are presented. Methods using rotating loops and resonance lines are included and a brief discussion of microwave impedance standards is given.

Protection Against Fallout Radiation in a Simple Structure

Description: A reinforced Butler building was exposed to fallout from Shots Diablo and Shasta, and the resulting dose rates and fallout deposition inside and outside the structure were measured with various instruments and techniques. Protection factors and roof and ground contributions to the total dose rates at points within the structure were determined from the measurements. Comparisons were made with the results of theoretical and other experimental studies. Information obtained from this experiment sh… more

Design criteria for coolant backup three remaining smaller reactors

Description: This document defines the objectives, bases, and functional requirements that shall govern the preparation of design of the coolant backup system for three remaining smaller reactors. This project will increase the reliability of the coolant backup facility at B Area by providing an independent last-ditch coolant system to B and C Reactors. The reliability of the last-ditch system for D Reactor will also be improved in that the present F and H leg of the export system will no longer be a part o… more

Thermally Activated Dislocation Motion in FCC and Refractory BCC Metals

Description: Amplitude-dependent internal friction evidence is presented which demonstrates the strong differences in dislocation mobility which exist between the two classes of cubic metals: the face-centered cubic, represented by Al and Cu, and the body-centered cubic, represented by Ta, Nb, Mo, and W. Amplitude- dependent internal friction due to dislocation motion results from the hysteretic unpinning and repinning of dislocation loops from impurity pinning points when the oscillating measuring stress e… more

Processing of High-Fired Uranium Dioxide Fuels by a Reduction-Mercury Extraction-Oxidation Process

Description: A preliminary flowsheet for the purification of uranium dioxide fuels by a magnesium reduction-- mercury extraction-- steam oxidation process is proposed. Feasibility was indicated by laboratory-scale scouting experiments. Data evaluation indicated 100% reduction of uranium dioxide by magnesium although this figure was not demonstrated, chiefly because of poor choice of materials and design of equipment. Steam oxidation of uranlum tetramercuride produced an oxide with an O/U ratio of 2.43. This… more

Stress Corrosion Cracking in Uranium-Molybdenum Alloys

Description: An investigation was conducted to determine the cause of cracking, during tension, on the surface of tensile specimens of U--Mo alloys. The cracking was observed in alloys that were water quenched from a temperature range in which the body-centered cubic gamma phase was stable and, subsequently, stressed in tension. The investigation was carried out on alloys of U--Mo containing 5 and 4 wt% Mo. It was discovered early in the study that the cracking could be eliminated by testing tensile specime… more

Preliminary design basis modifications for improved coolant backup 100-B, D, F, H, DR, and C areas

Description: The purpose of this document is to establish the design scope for the proposed modifications to the reactor ``last ditch`` cooling systems in the 100-B, D, F, H, DR, and C Areas. The objective in making these modifications is to provide adequate ``last-ditch`` reactor coolant flows for safety of operation at power levels currently programmed for the period CY 1964 when additional ``last-ditch`` cooling facilities are planned in connection with major plant modifications. Additional interim modif… more

Consistent Properties of Composite Formation Under a Binary Relation

Description: In this paper we study the properties of a relation, H, between two sets, X and Y, H ⊆ X x Y. We wish to determine when the existence of H between some elements of X and Y implies the existence of H between other composite elements of X and Y. The aim is to characterize a relation by its extension or restriction to composite elements.
