Applications of Strain Cycling Considerations to Superheat Fuel Design

Description: A potential performance limitation of superheat fuel is the susceptibility of the fuel cladding to low cycle fatigue failure. Two simplified analytical methods are presented to estimate the cyclic lifetime of circular superheat fuel cladding. One failure relation is based on a displacement method. The other failure relation is based on a stress method. These relations were compared with data from the literature, and with data involving damage obtained by Reynolds. A recommended design procedur… more

Burnout Conditions for Nonuniformly Heated Rod in Annular Geometry. Water at 1000 PSIA

Description: Tests were run to determine the burnout conditions for a nonuniformly heated rod in an annular geometry. Two special electrically heated rods were used; the cosine rod, which gave an approximate cosine axial heat flux distribution; and the truncated cosine rod, identical to the cosine, except for one end cut short. The rod to be tested was placed in a circular tube test section to form the annular flow path for the water coolant. Only the rod was heated; the outer surface (tube) was essentially… more

Carolinas Virginia Tube Reactor: Large Plant Study

Description: From introduction: The Carolinas Virginia Tube Reactor is to be designed as a prototype for a large-scale plant of about 200 megawatts electrical or larger, wherein operation with natural uranium feed material may be feasible but such feed material can only be considered if it is the more economical.

A CDC-1604 SUBROUTINE PACKAGE FOR MAKING LINEAR, LOGARITHMIC AND SEMILOGARITHMIC GRAPHS USING THE CALCOMP PLOTTER

Description: A CDC-1604 subroutine package was written to facilitate the plotting of curves and points on linear, logarithmic, and semilogarithmic graphs using the CALCOMP plotter. The subroutines accomplish the necessary computations and prepare a magnetic tape for use by the plotter. (auth)

Chemical decontamination of Hanford production reactors

Description: The conduct of outage work in the discharge areas of the Hanford production reactors has always been complicated by personnel exposure to radiation from the contaminants which accumulate in the effluent water piping in the course of normal operations. These containments represent trace impurities in the cooling water, together with corrosion products, which are irradiated in passing through the reactor and then deposit in the unshielded rear face piping. Radioactive residues also accumulate on … more

Colloidal Radioalbumin Aggregates for Organ Scanning : presented at 10th Annual Meeting, Nuclear Medicine Society, Montreal, Canada, June 26-29, 1963

Description: Abstract: The exhibit shows that colloidal aggregates (10 to 20 mu) of human serum albumin I131 may be used safely by intravenous injection to perform photoscans of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and salivary glands in man. Large particle size suspensions (10 to 50 mu) of the same material are being investigated experimentally in animals for scanning the lungs after intravenous injection and the brain following injection into an internal carotid artery. The advantages of this test material… more

Comment issue N-Reactor startup physics test program test procedures -- approach to critical and minimum critical size

Description: This document describes the detailed test procedures to be used during the initial phases of the physics test program--the approach to critical and minimum critical size tests. During these initial phases, several physics characteristics of the reactor will be evaluated in addition to determination of the critical loading. Overall flux distributions will be determined in the critical pile and used to evaluate the lattice buckling characteristics. Theoretical calculations normalized to experimen… more

A Comparison of Experimental and Calculated Prompt Neutron Life-Times and Central Reactivity Coefficients in ZPR-III Assemblies and Their Relationship to Other Reactor Parameters

Description: Experimental parameters of ZPR-HI fast reactor assemblies were compared with those calculated through use of a cross-section set derived from that of Yiftah, Okrent, and Moldauer, and initially used for a study of the critical sizes of ZPR-III assemblies. This cross-section set waa also used to study central fission ratios in ZPR-III assemblies. The analysis was extended to prompt neutron lifetimes and the relative reactivity effects of the substitution of materials at the reactor centers. The … more

COSMOTRON CURRENT MARKER

Description: Modifications consisted of redesigning the feedback loop and shielding the toroid to minimize capacitive pickup and of insulating the core from the magnet buss. A system analysis is presented, and system controls and operation are described. Operational properties of the redesigned loop and tests on the insulation between the grounded Faraday shield and the magnet buss and core are discussed. (D.C.W.)

Cryogenic targets for electron scattering

Description: Over the past few years we have developed a system which allows several different liquid hydrogen and liquid deuterium targets to be placed in the electron beam of the Stanford Mark III accelerator and which can be operated from a remote position. The geometry of our scattering chamber requires that the motion (of the various targets into position) must be in the vertical direction, but that the overall height of the system be constant. These requirements are met by using an internal retractabl… more
