Experimental heat transfer distribution on the SNAP 10A reactor

Description: Heating distributions have been obtained for the SNAP 10A reactor by means of a thermal paint technique in the Rhodes and Bloxsom 60 in. hypersonic wind tunnel. Data and correlations are presented only for those reactor components where the ratio of the local heat transfer to that on the stagnation point of the calibration sphere was found to be independent of tunnel conditions. It is shown that these heating distributions can be applied directly to reentry conditions provided the thermally pai… more

Failure of the Chapman-Jouguet Theory for Liquid and Solid Explosives

Description: The usual treatment of unsupported detonation, often called the Chapman-Jouguet theory, is based on four assumptions: (1) the detonation approaches a steady state, (2) the flow is laminar and one dimensional, (3) the detonation products approach a state of chemical equilibrium some distance behind the detonation front, and (4) the detonation velocity is the minimum permitted by the conservation conditions. In a recent paper Wood and Fickett (Phys. Fluids 6, 648(1963)) proposed experiments to te… more

Neutron Beam Facility technical report

Description: Using the high neutron fluxes of the Hanford reactors as a source, one can design a collimated neutron beam facility where fluxes of 10{sup 6} to 10{sup 7} (nv) are produced. The facility discussed in this report is designed to meet the following specifications: Sample exposures of 10{sup 10} (nvt) must be feasible; the beam must be at least 90% thermalized, and as gamma free as possible; maximum horizontal divergence should be no greater than 2{degrees}; and cross-section dimensions of the bea… more

Underground radioactive materials in 100-H and F plants

Description: At 100-H Area there are 13 locations and at 100-F Area 16 locations where radioactive material was deposited underground. Five of these locations, 2 at 100-H and 3 at 100-F, have been permanently terminated as burial sites in compliance with Radiation Control Standards. They contain solid waste with significant quantities of long-life radionuclides. Burial locations within the 105 Building exclusion fences were not marked with permanent posts as the exclusion fences are sufficient marking for s… more
