Preliminary Report on Low Columbium: Uranium Corrosion Resistant Alloys

Description: Uranium alloys containing 3 and 6 w/o niobium have been prepared in which the impurity content is rather low. These alloys show very promising resistance to corrosion by water at 260 and 300 degree C. The corrosion resistance is exhibited in degassed water and in water which is saturated with air or oxygen at room temperature before testing.

Deposition of Corrosion Products by Cataphoresis

Description: This report is a record of experimentation conducted intermittently over a period of two years and directed toward preventing deposition of transport corrosion products on fuel elements and other critical components in high-temperature, circulating water nuclear reactor. It includes the postulated mechanism for deposition, a description of experimental equipment, experimental data, results obtained from the experiments, and recommendations for future study.

Plaster of Paris Replicas of Reactor Fuel Slugs

Description: A method is described for preparing plaster of Paris replicas of irradiated fuel slugs. An impression mold is made by pouring the plaster about a fuel slug held in a specially designed holder. The slug is removed from the holder and the impression mold issued to cast a replica, also made of plaster of Paris. The replicas, including one end only, are accurate reproduction of the original slug for surface features down to about one-half mil and for dimensions within one or two mills. Two dental i… more

Feasibility Report on Fast Exponential Experiment

Description: The general program established at Argonne National Laboratory in connection with the Fast Power Breeder Reactor (PBR) includes performance of exponential experiments on assemblies having compositions which may exist in the reactor core. This report deals with that phase of the program known as the Fast Exponential Experiment which may be described very briefly as follows. An assembly of fissile (U-235) and fertile material (too small to be self-critical) intermixed with poisons (such as are en… more

Metallurgy Division Quarterly Report [for] October, November, and December 1955

Description: A total of nine clad plates, containing uranium -5 w/o zirconium 1.5 w/o niobium alloy cores and clad with Zircaloy-II, were rolled in plain carbon steel jackets, heat treated, physically evaluated, and corrosion tested. All these plates were found to be within predetermined dimensional tolerance in width, thickness, length, cladding thickness, and core distribution. Improved control of wielding variables and of the length of the seal pin projecting above the end plugs resulted in the eliminati… more

Quarterly Report January, February and March, 1956

Description: The EBWR loading requires a total of 888 plates. It is anticipated that approximately 1000 plates will have to be produced to obtain the number of acceptable plates required for the loading. To the end of this quarter, 568 cladding billet cores acceptable with respect to chemical composition and physical soundness had been cast; this number represents 78% of the total number of cores cast. Approximately 75% of the Zircaloy-II stock required has been rolled, and about 55% of the cladding compone… more

Heat Transfer, Flow Instability, and Critical Heat Flux For Water in a Small Tube At 200 psia

Description: From Abstract: Report discussing "the effects of developing two-phase flow regimes in a constant-pressure drop system are shown in recorded traces from a fast-response flow transducer: the mass velocity decreases and transfer-surface superheat increases with increasing steam quality."

Chemical Engineering Division Summary Report for January, February, and March 1958

Description: Development work was continued on the fused fluoride process for the recovery of enriched uranium from zirconium-matrix fuel alloys. The alloy is dissolved by immersing it in molten sodium fluoride-zirconium fluoride at 600°C and passing hydrogen fluoride vapor through the system.The dissolved uranium tetrafluoride in the melt is then volatilized as uranium hexafluoride by sparging with fluorine. The uranium hexafluoride product is purified and decontaminated by fractional distillation. Additio… more
