Compatibility Studies of Anion Exchange Resins. Part I. The Compatibility of Dowex 1 X 4 Nitrate Form Anion Resin With Nitric Acid and Oxides of Nitrogen

Description: The compatibility of Dowex 1x4 nitrate form anion resin with nitric acid, and the compatibility of several types of plastic tubing with nitric acid were investigated. Ignition properties of resin extract, treated resin and mixtures of tubing extract with either resin extract or treated resin were also investigated.

Detailed Analog Models Status Report

Description: This report presents a detailed description of various analog computer models of the NERVA system developed during CY '65 for systems and control analysis work at WANL. These models were developed prior to the agreements between WANL and REON to use a Common Analog Model for all official predictions of test performance. However, the models described in this report have been of considerable value in helping to assess the validity of several propposed versions of the Common Analog Model and will … more

Oxidation of Polycyclic, Aromatic, Hydrocarbons: A Review of the Literature

Description: Report discussing the literature on the oxidation of polycyclic, aromatic hydrocarbons. Information has been assembled on (1) the oxidants effective in the oxidation of such hydrocarbons, (2) the relative reactivity of the hydrocarbons, (3) the conditions under which oxidation proceeds, (4) the chemical mechanisms involved when such oxidations occur, and (5) the products formed.

Production test PTA-002, increased graphite temperature limit -- B, C and D Reactors

Description: The fundamental objective of the graphite temperature limit is to prevent excessive oxidation of the graphite moderator blocks with carbon dioxide and water vapor in the reactor atmosphere. Laboratory tests have shown that 10% uniform oxidation of graphite results in a loss in strength of approximately 50%. Production Test IP-725 was conducted at F Reactor for a period of six months at graphite temperatures approximately 50 and 100 C higher than the present graphite temperature limit of 650 C. … more

PROPERTIES OP LIQUID HELIUM-THREE IN THE TWO-BODY CORRELATION APPROXIMATION. I

Description: This is the first of two papers in which the low-temperature properties of liquid He{sup 3} are to be calculated in the thermodynamically consistent 'T-matrix' approximation. The set of coupled integral equations which are to be solved is exhibited in Part A of this paper. Part B of this paper is devoted to a preliminary, zero-temperature calculation which employs the additional approximations of using separable potentials and a noninteracting spectral function to define the interaction of two … more
