EFFECT OF NEUTRON IRRADIATION ON MATERIALS SUBJECTED TO MULTI-AXIAL STRESS DISTRIBUTIONS. Quarterly Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962

Description: Activities in a program to determine the effects of neutron irradiation on A-302B steel are reported. Plans are discussed concerning performance tests on tensile, notched tensile, tube, and Charpy specimens. An irradiation capsule design was finalized. A theoretical analysis of the critical conditions arising in a tube subjected to both internal pressure and axial load is included. (J.R.D.)

A SURVEY AND EVALUATION OF U$sup 233$ FISSION YIELD DATA

Description: A survey of the pertinent literature was made to ascertain the status of data on U/sup 233/ fission-product yields. The various experimental determinations were evaluated, and the most recent mass-spectrometric results were used as a basis for deriving a set of preferred yields. These yields were compared with values reported in two other recent compilations, and for yields >1%, the three setrs agreed with each other to an average precision of <5%. It was concluded that recent measurements have… more

SORPTION OF URANIUM ON ZIRCONIUM OXIDE

Description: The sorption of the ions of uranium, copper, and nickel on hydrous zirconium oxide was investigated at temperatures from 25 to 250 deg C. The experiments were performed by equilibrating 5 ml of the test solution with 0.5 g of zirconium oxide in a titanium autoclave, which was heated by means of a rocking furnace. The sorption of uranium was affected by characteristics of the zirconium oxide, temperatare of equilibration, and concentrations of uranium and of free acid in the uranyl sulfate solut… more

Stress and Deflection of Boiler Fuel Element Boxes

Description: Equations were derived by strain-energy methods for analyzing the stress and deflection in the boiler fuel element boxes used in the Pathfinder nuclear reactor. These boxes are of two types, both constructed of Zircaloy lI. One box is approximately 5 in. sq. The second is approximately 10 1/2 in. sq divided internally into four compartments (5 in. sq) by a cruciform control-rod guide structure. Stress and deflection in the box walls are caused by pressure differences across the walls. The equat… more

TITANIUM PUMP LOOP FOR AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

Description: A titanium pump loop, designed to circulate aqueous solutions at temperatures and pressures up to 370 deg C and 3000 psia, was constructed. It is to be used to study the chemical stability of uranyl sulfate fuel solutions of interest to the Fluid Fuels Reactor Program. The total loop voluime was minimized so that about 2 liters uf solution was sufficient for loop operation. The equipment includes a sampling system to remove solution samples from the loop while operating at elevated temperature … more

THE SUBCRITICAL REACTOR WITH SOURCES

Description: The mathematical formulation of the subcritical reactor with extraneous sources is presented in detail. The solutions are presented for a two-group approximation including epithermal fission and the relationship to the usual critical reactor problem is discussed. Application of the equations to an arbitrarily complicated geometry is outlined, and an IBM-7090 program for the solution in a bare cylindrical reactor is described. (auth)

CRITICALITY EXCURSION OF NOVEMBER 10, 1961

Description: A criticality excursion occurred at the Oak Ridge Critical Experiments Laboratory on November l0, l961 as enriched uranium metal, neutron reflected and moderated by hydrogen, was being assembled. It is estimated that the energy yield was between 10/sup 15/ and 10/sup 16/ fissions. There was no personnel exposure or property damage. Fission product contamination, both airborne and contained in the metal, decayed sufficiently overnight to allow unhindered continuation of the experiment. The excur… more

Research and Development Activities Fixation of Radioactive Residues Quarterly Progress Report, July-September 1961

Description: Progress is reported on research and development work in pot calcination and radiant-heat spray calcination studies of synthetic Purex high-level wastes; and sorption studies using synthetic minerals and resins as well as natural minerals. The calcination studies are discussed in terms of batch calcination, melting of pot calcination products, spray calcination, and off-gas treatment; and sorption studies in terms of mineral reactions, fixation chemistry, and condensate wastes.

MEASUREMENT OF THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF TBP

Description: Two methods, the transpiration and direct P/sup 32/ counting methods, were tested for use in measuring the vapor pressure of TBP. With the transpiration technique, measured TBP vapor pressures were sufficiently reproducible, and probably of sufficient accuracy, to warrant improvement of the apparatus and its use in measuring the vapor pressure of TBP over various TBP- diluent-HNO/sub 3/-H//sub 2/O-UO/sub 2/ (NO/sub 3/)sub 2 solutions. With this method the vapor pressure of TBP containing 0.2 wt… more

TWENTY-FIVE GROUP REACTOR NUCLEAR DATA TAPE NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS

Description: A compilation is presented, in the twenty-five group Reactor Nuclear Data Tape format, of neutron cross sections for elements of major interest for GE- ANPD reactor analysis. The tabulated data are a reproduction of neutron cross section information contained on the Reactor Nuclear Data Tape, which was recently prepared. A brief outline of methods used in processing of the cross sections is also included. (auth)
