Thorium Bismuthide : Ultrasonic Control of Crystal Size

Description: Thorium bismuthide when crystallized from a solution i bismuth results in large platelets which may be as large a 1 centimeter in diameter. A slurry of these platelets is difficult to pump through pipe lines and filters. The particle size can be reduced by (1) very rapid cooing (approximately 1000 degree C per second) or (2) ultrasonic treatment. The latter, much easier to attain in large scale, gives equiaxed particles of thorium bismuthide.

Time Variation of Thermodynamic Parameters of a Gas in the Region of a Shock Front : Progress Report III

Description: The original goal of this investigation was to compare the thermodynamic characteristics of the gases in and behind the shock fronts in gases at initial pressures in the millimeter range and to compare these characteristics in the geometries of single and double discharges. The shock fronts were not visible, so it was not possible, at these pressures, to get visual data from the shock front itself. The parameters giving the properties of the gases were faces. Measurements made with an image con… more

A Timing Circuit for the UCLA FM Cyclotron

Description: A circuit had been constructed which supplied timing pulses for the various operating components of the UCLA F.M. cyclotron as well as counter gating pulses of variable widths and adjustable positions on the cyclotron duty cycle. The pulses are timed relative to a master pulse generated when the cyclotron oscillator passes through a specified frequency in the direction of decreasing frequency, thus giving only one master pulse per duty cycle. Overall stability of the timing circuit is about one… more

Transient Beam Loading In Linear Electron Accelerators

Description: "The subject of beam loading in linear electron accelerators has been discussed. With suitable design it is possible to place the equilibrium electron phase angle well ahead of the crest of the traveling wave in the accelerator. With beam loading the equilibrium position will move toward the crest, but the electron energy will remain constant or nearly so over a considerable range of loading. Some loss in energy will result from moving the equilibrium phase angle off the wave crest but the spre… more

A Transistorized Binary Counter for Extreme Environments

Description: A transistorized binary counter circuit is described that operates over a temperature range of -65 degree F to +165 degree F. the supply voltage is 28 + 4 volts and the maximum trigger repetition rate is 5 kilocycles. the binary circuit is pre-settable and resettable by means of a switching arrangement that can be mechanized.

Unitized System of Image Intensifiers Using Fiber Optics. Progress Report for July to October 1959

Description: Phase 1 of the AEC contract AT(30-1)-2176 consists in developing a light intensifier which includes a fiber optic faceplate in the output end. The vacuum side of the faceplate shall be coated with an aluminum-backed P15 phosphor and shall have an effective radiating diameter of 1". The execution of this phase depends primarily upon developing a satisfactory technique for sealing the fiber optic faceplate to a suitable container. During the delay which has occurred between the ordering and the … more

Upper Atmosphere Monitoring Program

Description: "An apparatus designed to test aerosol filter efficiency at pressures equal to or less than atmospheric and at linear face velocities of 5 to 1000 ft/ min is described. Aerosol collection efficiency studies were completed for IPC paper at 20,000 and 40,000 ft. Data developed in these studies indicate that ia the impaction and diffusion regions collection efficiency increases with altitude for all linear face velocities less than 800 ft/min. A propeller-type flowmeter, calibrated to measure the … more

The Use of an Electronic High Vacuum Pump on Various Types of Mass Spectrometers

Description: A commercially available electronic high vacuum pump has bee tested on various types of mass spectrometers used at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Considerable savings in operating and maintenance costs can be realized from the use of this pump. the greatest savings result from the elimination of the cold trap required for the diffusion pump whether it is cooled by liquid nitrogen or by mechanical refrigeration. additional savings results from the fact that the pump currently is usually … more

The Validity of the Statistical Theory of Pressure Broadening

Description: The statistical theory of pressure broadening is developed for any interaction law in which the potential energy is inversely proportional to some power of the distance between the molecules, including cases in which the forces change sign. This note is intended to prove two propositions: A. When a spectral line is broadened by single impacts of perturbing molecules and the half-width of the line is delta infinity, the statistical theory of broadening is applicable provided delta infinity .

Vapor and Liquid Phase Reactions Between Nitrogen Dioxide and Water

Description: Knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the aqueous absorption of nitrogen oxides is limited, and no definite evidence has been available to indicate if the major chemical reactions involved occur in the gas phase or in the liquid phase. This work was undertaken to determine in which phases the chemical reactions occur and to obtain additional information on the over-all mechanism of the removal process. The results of this investigation show that the rate of absorption of nitrogen oxides decre… more

Vapor Traps for Handling Liquid Sodium

Description: An active program is a present underway to develop equipment to handle liquid metals. Among the metals being studied are sodium and sodium--potassium alloy (the latter commonly referred to as NaK). In many of the systems being studied this liquid metal is pressurized by inert gas in the lines. At times it is necessary to bleed off some of this gas from the system. Although the gas is allowed to escape at a temperature at which the vapor pressure of sodium is extremely small, it has been found t… more

Vaporization Processes in a Runaway Reactor

Description: From the point of view of constituents of a fuel element at temperatures between 2500 and 4500 degree K, the fuel elements can be considered to consist of six types of material: carbon, elements less volatile than carbon, 26 moles of rare gases, 21 moles of alkali metals, 17 moles of alkaline earth metals, and 4 moles of miscellaneous volatile elements. Various processes involving the constituents from 2000 to 45000 degree K are considered. Reactivity gain due to can rupture is discussed.

Zircex Uranium Sublimate Loss

Description: "One of the limitations of the Zircex Process is the large percentage loss of U which is carried off with the volatile ZrCl/sub 4/. Since the ratio of U to Zr in the fuel element is quite small (< 1%), a large percentage of U loss can be caused by small amounts of U in the ZrCl/sub 4/ sublimate. The U loss must be kept below 1% if the Zircex Process is to be adapted to industrial scale processing."
