Transient Beam Loading In Linear Electron Accelerators

Description: "The subject of beam loading in linear electron accelerators has been discussed. With suitable design it is possible to place the equilibrium electron phase angle well ahead of the crest of the traveling wave in the accelerator. With beam loading the equilibrium position will move toward the crest, but the electron energy will remain constant or nearly so over a considerable range of loading. Some loss in energy will result from moving the equilibrium phase angle off the wave crest but the spre… more

Radiation Damage to Vacuum Chamber Walls

Description: "The problem of radiation derange to the walls of two types of vacuum chamber for the 6 Bev Cambridge Electron Accelerator was studied. Radiation damage may arise from the synchrotron radiation and from electrons which are not accepted at injection. The synchrotron radiation produces a large amount of secondary x radiation which is isotropic, and therefore complicates the arrangement of internal shielding. The 20 Mev electrons from the lines cannot be attenuated by shielding. It is concluded th… more

Injection Trajectories and Beam Matching for the Cambridge Electron Accelerator

Description: "ABS>Injection trajectories were calculated for different injection conditions for the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, considering also the effect of magnetic fringing fields. The general problem of matching the emittance of the linac to the acceptance of the synchrotron in the transversal phase space is considered, and it is shown that this can be done by a set of two quadrupole lenses. In order to eliminate rudial betatron oscillations due to energy deviations of the injected particles, a pul… more

A Report on the Kinematics of High Energy Electron Scattering

Description: "A convenient summary is given of useful formulas on the kinematics of high energy electron scattering together with a derivation of the relevant formulas for transforming from the center of mass to the laboratory system such parameters as scattering cross sections. The formulas derived hold for any two- body collision: the approximation (m = 0) employed for the electron scattering calculations is rigorously true for the elastic scattering of photons."

Effect of Quadrupole Lenses

Description: "The effect of correcting quadrupole lenses on the betatron oscillation characteristics of an AG synchrotron was studied, and general formulas are given for the fractional changes of the amplitude and phase functions. Calculations performed for different setups of different numbers of lenses for the CEA synchrotron structure point out that one may correct for sizable errors in the n- value by means of 8 pairs of quadrupole lenses in two consecutive straight sections with the focusing lens betwe… more

Effect of Atomic Interaction Potential on Defect Production in Metals

Description: The cascade of displaced atoms in metals, induced by high energy radiation, has been investigated, with the assumption of a screened coulomb interaction between atoms. The problem was treated stochastically on an IBM 650 electronic computer for several different models. The comparison of our results with those for which a hard sphere interaction has been used shows only a slight decrease in the expected number of atomic displacements.

Drying of Charcoal Used for Adsorption of Gaseous Fission Products from Homogeneous Reactors

Description: In homogeneous nuclear reactors significant quantities of radioactive inert gaseous fission products must be separated from the fuel solution for disposal. The present disposal scheme, which is employed on the HRT, is to pass the mixture of fission product gases and oxygen through a charcoal adsorption bed. the oxygen passes through the bed relatively un-adsorbed, but the radioactive inert gases are adsorbed and are displaced from the bed bed very slowly giving the gases a much greater residenc… more

Report of Slurry Blanket Test Run SM-2

Description: Run SM-2 was run to determine whether a sulfated ThO2 slurry could be handled in a hydrodynamic system similar to the HRT test blanket. It was found that the ThO2 concentration circulating in the pipes was consistently 50% or less of the expected concentration based on the quantity of the oxide changed. The run lasted 1730 hours. It was terminated because of a slurry leak a few days before a shutdown had been scheduled. Severe erosion was found in the pump impeller and flow nozzle . Chloride co… more

The Choice in Thorium Oxide Slurries for the Prevention of Caking in Circulating Systems

Description: A qualitative theory for cake formation in ThO2 slurries is presented. The sphere formation which occurs in "Standard" slurry can be explained on the same basis. The irregular and unpredictable yield strength is easily fitted into the theory. On the basis of this theory, the writer has been led to the conclusion that only colloidally stable slurries, or slurries with crystallites or comminution-resistant particles which are large enough to overcome colloidal effects (probably larger than 0.1u) … more

Temperature Effects on the Measurement of Aqueous Liquid Level by the Differential Pressure Method and Recommendations for Placement of Taps on the HRT Replacement Heat Exchanger

Description: Increasing temperature in an aqueous liquid system results in a decrease in liquid density and an increase in vapor density. When level is measured by the differential pressure method, temperature increase results in a decrease in the effective span f the instrument and a shift in zero. When the instrument reference leg is uncompensated, both zero and span shifts occur with the effects being most pronounced at the high levels. When the reference leg is compensated, zero shifts are eliminated (i… more

A Preliminary Study of Molten Salt Power Reactors

Description: A preliminary study of molten salt power reactors was made. The most promising fuel carrier salts were the fluorides and chlorides of the alkali metals, zirconium, and beryllium. The chlorides were found to have lower melting points but were less stable and more corrosive than the fluorides. A Li/sup 7/ F- - BeF/sub 2/ mixture with ThF/sub 4/ and UF/sub 4/appeared to perform best. Of the numerous alloys tested as container material, Inconel and a nickel-- molybdenum alloy INOR-8 appeared to be … more
