Calibration of Liquid-in-Glass Thermometers

Description: Report discussing important elements of thermometer design. Factors affecting the use of common types of liquid-in-glass thermometers are included together with tables of tolerances and reasonably attainable accuracies. The calculation of corrections for the temperature of the emergent stem is given in detail for various types of thermometers and conditions of use.

Design Report: Turbine Power Control Valve for Use as Diluent Control Valve in Cryogenic Service

Description: A design analysis of the Turbine Power Control Valve was conducted to investigate its suitability for use as a Diluent Control Value. Factors of safety used in the analysis were 1.25 for yield strength and 1.50 for ultimate strength. All margins of safety calculated for the components were positive. The results of this design analysis indicate the valve is suitable for use in cryogenic service.

Microwave Impedance Measurements and Standards

Description: Report presenting a survey and discussion of well-known microwave impedance measurement techniques. The discussion includes an introduction which emphasizes basic concepts and reflection coefficient-voltage standing-wave ratio relationships. Sources of error in the various measurement techniques are discussed and methods to reduce errors are presented. Methods using rotating loops and resonance lines are included and a brief discussion of microwave impedance standards is given.

Neutron flux measurements in the Hanford test irradiation facilities

Description: In the past, in-reactor testing of materials was restricted to gross sorting. It has consequently been the practice to report the exposure of a sample by relating the exposure to the heat energy released by the nearby uranium fuel, usually reported in the familiar MWD/AT (megawatt day per adjacent ton) unit. The measurement is not complicated by the kind of material, geometry factors of the samples, or loading conditions of the reactor. However, these very facts limit the usefulness of the meas… more
