Maximum liability evaluation: Strontium and cesium shipments on Decalso media

Description: This report summarizes the evaluations of the maximum monetary liability associated with cesium-137 shipments in the STT Casks and strontium-90 shipments in the HAPO-IA Cask. These evaluations are of most immediate importance since these shipments are planned for the month of March 1961. These liability evaluations concern the direct consequences of a release of the fission product shipment in each case, but do not cover the probability of such events occurring. The liability evaluation of the … more

Section 3 reactor statistics: April 1961--May 15, 1962

Description: This discussion and summary report illustrate the type of information that is in data processing machine language and available to those who require it. The reports are comprised of three major sections. The first is a map indicating the number of recordings of data in the category defined by the function number code. The second is a summary of the data, in term of hours, for each of the functions performed during an outage, except secondary function code number 21 which is the number of tubes … more

The Equation of State of Solids at Low Temperature

Description: Technical report describing and evaluating the the three experimental methods for obtaining equation of state data at low temperatures; (1) approximate measurement of the PVT relationship by a piston-displacement technique, (2) the measurement of a heat capacity at constant volume as a function of molar volume and temperature, and (3) direct measurement of the pressure variation of the elastic constants using ultrasonic techniques. X-ray methods also might be applicable.

High Voltage Electron Beam Welding of W-RE Thermocouples

Description: A series of W-5 Re/W-26 Re thermocouples have been electron beam welded at the Hamilton Standard Division at our request. This technical report is a summary of our evaluation of these joints. These weldments did exhibit incomplete fusion in cap welds and some porosity in undesirable lead junction shapes. In fairness, this was a single attempt to make a difficult joint, and the objective of ungrounded 1/16 OD clad joints was met. As noted by Hamilton, two changes are necessary to improve this… more

Mobile energy depot feasibility study: summary report

Description: Declassified 28 Aug 1973. Various methods of producing and using nuclear power for military land vehicles and other military equipment were investigated and evaluated. A nuclear-powered mobile energy depot (MED) would move with advancing armies and produce vehicle fuels from materials readily available in the field. This would make mechanized units independent of external fuel supplies for extended periods, and permit them to move quickly and easily to areas impossible for units that depend on … more
