The Application of an Operational Reactivity Accounting System Based on One-Group Diffusion Theory

Description: HW-70780, {open_quotes}An Operational Reactivity Accounting System Based on One-Group Diffusion Theory{close_quotes} describes a reactivity accounting system which is an improvement over the present {open_quotes}flux-squared weighting{close_quotes} system. Several changes and additions have been made which will simplify and increase the accuracy of the system described in the parent document. The changes occur primarily in the application of the system and are compatible with diffusion theory a… more

Atom Arrangements in Some Iron-Aluminum Solutions, Report No. 1

Description: "Short-range order coefficients were measured at 300 and 400°C for iron-aluminum alloys containing 14.8, 18.2, and 20.0 atomic per cent aluminum. These alloys exhibited a strong preference for unlike near neighbors. The short-range order was greater at the lower temperature and increased as the Fe 3Al composition was approached."

Carbide Cathode Studies, Physical and Chemical Redeposition. Quarterly Progress Report, April 1, 1962-June 30, 1962

Description: The utilization of physical and chemical processes to reduce the rate of vapor loss of thermionic emitters composed of mixed carbides of U and Zr in order to increase the permissible operating temperature is being studied. Preliminary, qualitative results obtained from study of physical redeposition processes showed that increasing the collector temperature may markedly reduce the rate of weight loss from a UC emitter operating at 2053 deg K. The requisite experimental equipment for studies of … more

Correlation of Critical Mass Data on Light Water Moderated, Fully Enriched Uranium, Stainless Steel Reactors. Part 1

Description: Experimental data were collected on over 70 light water moderated, fully enriched uranium, stainless steel, critical cores. An equation for the critical mass of cores with a buckling of 0.007 cm/sup -2/ that is lineally dependent on stainless steel volume fraction and grams of B/sup 10/ was compared with available critical experiments and found to yield reasonable results. A correlation method, relating buckling to ( xi SIGMA /sub s// SIGMA /sub a/) was found to fit the available experiments. (… more

Corrosion Mechanism of Zirconium and Its Alloys--Diffusion of Oxygen in Zirconium Dioxide

Description: The diffusion rate of O in anion-deficient zirconia, ZrO/sub 1.994/, was determined by the interface migration of stoichiometric oxide and is represented by the equation D = 0.055 exp (--33,400 surface proces 3100/RT). A comparison was made with other processes that occur in the metal and the oxide. Excellent agreement was noted between activation energies of O diffusion in ZrO/sub 1.944/ and those for parabolic or cubic oxidation in both air and water. It appears that O diffusion in the oxide … more

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium. Quarterly Report No. 3, March 15, 1962-June 14, 1962

Description: An investigation was made to determine the extent to which zirconium and zirconium alloys exhibit delayed failure (static fatigue) as caused by a combination of absorbed hydrogen and applied stress. Evaluation of susceptibility to time-dependent fracture was performed on an experimental Zr-- Al-- Sn-- Mo alloy containing 500 ppm hydrogen and the Canadian Zr-2.5Nb cladding material, as well as unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2. For unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 containing up to 500 ppm hyd… more

Detailed Stress Analysis of SM-1 Steam Generator Tube Sheet

Description: The detailed stress analysis of the SM-1 steam generator tube sheet showed it to be safe from strain cycling damage. However, the pressure stresses were greater than the yield strength during the hydrostatic test. The differential between pressure stresses and yield strength indicates that some initial deformation may have taken place in the tube sheet. (auth)

Development of a Fluidized Bed Calcination Process for Aluminum Nitrate Wastes in a Two-Foot-Square Plant Calciner. Part 2. Factors Affecting the Intra-Particle Porosity of Alumina

Description: A seven- to twenty-fold volume reduction can be obtained from fluidized bed calcination of aqueous aluminum nitrate wastes, depending on the operating conditions employed and their effect on the intra-panticle porosity and absolute density of the calcined alumina. Among the calcining variables, only the bed temperature and the fuel aluminum concentration had a significant effect on the intra-particle porosity of alumina generated during studies conducted primarily in a two-foot-square fluidized… more

Development of Pulsed Neutron Application to Power Reactor Start-Up Procedures. First Quarterly Progress Report, April 1-June 30, 1962

Description: Activities in a program to develop techniques in the use of pulsed neutron sources to measure shutdown parameters related to large thermal power reactors are reported. The experimental work centers around aspects of detecting neutrons in the presence of 10/sup 7/ r/hr gamma fields. The feasibility of U/ sup 235/ coated solid state detectors for use in these measurements is being studied. A theoretlcal investigation is also in progress on the effects of a multi-region assembly on the fundamental… more

DEVELOPMENT OF REGENERATIVE COMPRESSOR FOR HELIUM CIRCULATION

Description: Compressors were required to circulate helium coolant in an in-pile loop at moderately high heads (6000--8000 ft), at low volumetric flows (30--40 acfm), at 600 deg F and 385 psig. A regenerative type of gas compressor, using greaselubricated ball bearings enclosed in a special water-cooled casing, was designed and tested. The design objectives were achieved, and a number of these compressors have been built and are in operation. (auth)
