ADVANCED DESIGNS OF MAGNETIC JACK-TYPE CONTROL ROD DRIVE

Description: The magnetic jack is a device for positioning the control rods In a nuclear reactor, especially in a reactor containing water under pressure. Magnetic actuation precludes the need for shaft seals and eliminates the problems associated with mechanisms operating in water. It consists of a pressure shell, four sets of external stationary magnet coils (hold, grip, lift, pull down), and one Internal moving part (ammature) that impants linear motion to a cluster of rods.

AETR NUCLEAR MOCKUP DESIGN

Description: The Advanced Engineering Test Reactor (AETR) nuclear mockup is designed to be a flexible, inexpensive developmental facility which duplicates the reactor portion of the AETR and which would be used to verify the operation of reactor controls. The mockup would also furnish measurements of temperature and void coefficients, flux shapes, and critical mass, and facilitate a reliable AETR design in a minimum time, and with minimum development cost. For even greater usefulness, the mockup is also des… more

The Agglomeration of Solid Aerosol Particles. Technical Report No. 16

Description: The variations of size and density of aerosol particles were examined. Experiments were made with a wide variety of substances using a modification of Whytlaw-Gray and Patterson's methods in which freefall velocity was determined. The mass was estimated both by balancing the gravitational and electrostatic forces and from rising velocities under constant field strength. The results were compared with the shape and structure of the aerosols shown by electron microscopy. The variation of the Stok… more

Analysis of Fuel Element Core Blanks for Argonne Low Power Reactor by Gamma Counting

Description: A technique based on a determinaiion of the differential counting rate exhibited by the 184-kev gamma radiation associated with the decay of U/sup 235/ was developed for the determination of the U/sup 235/ content in Argonne Low Power Reactor fuel element core blanks. The Argonne Low Power Reactor core blanks were an aluminum-highly enriched uranium alloy containing 17.5 weight per cent uranium (approximately 4 g U/sup 235/) having the following dimensions: length, 6.875 inches, width, 3.31 inc… more

Annual Report. Part A: Studies in K-Capture Positron Branching Ratios. Part B: Search for a Low-Lying O+ State in Gallium-68

Description: K-capture to positron branching ratios were measured in the decay of Na/ sup 22/, Co/sup 58/, and Ga/sup 68/ -- all pure Gamow-Teller emitters, using coincidence scintillation spectrometer techniques. The measured values are 0.105 plus or minus 0.004 for Na/sup 22/, 5.08 plus or minus 0.17 for Co/sup 58/, and 1.28 plus or minus 0.12 and 0.10 plus or minus 0.02 for Ga/sup 58/. From these the Fierz interference terra is computed to be b =--0.004 plus or minus 0.012, -0.004 plus or minus 0.14, --0… more

APPLICATION OF ELECTROLESS-NICKEL BRAZING TO TUBULAR FUEL ELEMENTS FOR THE N.S. SAVANNAH. Status Report

Description: The feasibility of using electroless nickel, a chemical deposit containing about 10 wt.% phosphorous in nickel, as the brazing alloy for assembling tubular stainless steel fuel elements of the type specified in Core I of the N. S. Savannah was investigated. This material was selected primarily because of the ease of braze-metal preplacement by chemical deposition of the alloy on type 304 stainiess steel ferrule spacers, prior to fuelbundle assembly. Brazed joints produced by this method were ge… more

Argonne High-Flux Research Reactor-Ahfr Conceptual Design Study

Description: This report presents a reactor design to meet the needs of the basic research program at Argonne National Laboratory. The program requires some irradiations in thermal neutron flux approaching 5 x 10/sup 15/n/ (cm/sup 2/ )(sec) and some beam experiments having over 10/sup 15/ n/(cm/sup 2/) available. Parametric studies indicate that the highest peak thermal flux per unit of reactor power can be obtained in an internal H/sub 2/ reflector having a radius of about 6 cm. Since the design effonts re… more

Atmospheric Signals From Explosions and Their Interpretation

Description: Results are reported from a series of experimental highexplosive shots under inversion conditions at the Nevada Test Site which were made in an attempt to refine blast prediction techniques. Applications of the data in determinations of the amount of energy which remains in the blast wave as it reaches acoustic level and in determinations of the magnitude of the reflection factor when the blast wave strikes the ground are discussed. Data on shock wave propagation are presented graphically. It i… more

Atmospheric Turbulence

Description: Some characteristics of turbulence near the ground can begin to be interpreted There is yet little information about others (even near the ground) such as spectra measured along the vertical lines, or cross spectra between two variables. Further, results of turbulence characteristics over water are few and confusing, and no information exists about the effects of cities and deserts. As we go aloft, our information about spectra becomes more scanty, although the general areas of large turbulence… more
