Evaluation of macroreticular anion exchange resin - RTA-893-R

Description: The macroreticular anion exchange resin, Amberlite IRA-900-OH, and an experimental resin from Ionac Chemical Company were irradiated by a /sup 60/Co source to doses of 5 x 10/sup 7/ rad and 10/sup 8/ rad. These doses approximate or exceed the dose encountered by the deionizer resins in 100-Area service. The loss in exchange capacity and the volume changes of Amberlite IRA-900 on irradiation were similar to those found previously for Amberlite IRA-400. The Ionac experimental resin, which had a c… more

PT IP-754 physics testing of H Reactor: Final report

Description: Significant changes in fuel design, operating levels, loading geometry, and moderator condition have taken place since the Hanford reactors started operation. Changes which affect nuclear safety parameters require continuing analysis of the possible effects on safety system strengths and maximum potential reactivities. For this reason the shutdown of a Hanford reactor offered an excellent opportunity to measure many of the above factors without a significant production loss. Therefore a test pr… more

Spot Diagrams for the Prediction of Lens Performance From Design Data

Description: From Abstract: "This Monograph presents an outline of the methods used at the National Bureau of Standards to predict the performance of lenses from an analysis of their designs. The technique is based on the use of spot diagrams, which are analogs of star image tests, and makes extensive use of high-speed digital computers."

Thermo-physics technical note No. 56: a parameter study of properties and mechanisms affecting the reentry ablation of SNAP fuel particles

Description: The results are presented of a parameter survey of the properties and mechanisms affecting the reentry ablation of SNAP fuel particles. The following properties and mechanisms were studied: aerodynamic heating, oxidation, oxide vaporization, metal vaporization, particle emissivity, specific heat, density, velocity, and initial size. These studies were made for particle release altitudes ranging from 170,000 to 228,000 feet.
