Calculation of Wall-Scattered Gamma Radiation Escaping through a Shield Opening - Application to the HRT

Description: A simplified method was developed for calculating wall-scatter gamma radiation escaping through a shield opening. The method was applied to the HRT and the results showed that next to the line of sight contribution, scattering of the wall of the shield opening was the main contribution to the dose at the rear edge of the shield. Design charts were prepared that give the dose as a function of the gamma source location with the reactor cell.

Dynamic Corrosion Screening Tests on Inconel and Nickel in NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 Bath

Description: Nickel is more susceptible to mass transfer in a 100hr non-isothermal dynamic corrosion system than is Inconel when exposed to a NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 (50.0-33.3-16.0 mole %) bath at a hot zone temperature 1800 F. No nickel mass transfer was observed in a 500-hr test at 1350 F, but Inconel showed some attack under these conditions. Inconel mass transfer was observed in both tests, being more severe at the higher temperature. On the bases of these preliminary tests, it appears that nickel is a more… more

Measurement of the Friction Characteristics for Flow in the ART Fuel-to-NaK Heat Exchanger

Description: The friction characteristics of a full-scale straight-tube model of the ART fuel-to-NaK heat exchanger were determined experimentally. The presence of the spacers resulted in a transition to semi-turbulent flow at a Reynolds modulus of 350. this semi-turbulent flow persisted up to a Reynolds modulus of 5,000. The circumferential spacers were found to contribute slightly more than the radial spacers to the pressure loss in the heat exchanger.

Symbols for Instrument Flowsheets and Drawings : a Recommended System for Application to ORNL Instrument Work

Description: This report supersedes ORNL CF-57-2-1, which was an extension and revision of ORNL CF-54-6-72. Details concerning a recommended system of flow-plan symbols and drawing are given. The system is designed to identify the function of all major instrument components and to show schematically the operation of the instrument relative to the particular process. The system is used for identification and designation. The system is a modification of the Instrument Society of American Recommended Practice … more
