ORR Operations for Period April 1961 to April 1962

Description: A summary of the activities in the 4th operational year is presented for the ORR. On-stream time at 30 Mw was relatively steady with 75.4 and 83.7% representing the lowest and highest quarters. Modification of the ball-latch mechanism of the shim-rod-drives is in progress. The primary cooling system bypass control valve was modified and a d-c pony motor was added at the No. 3 primary pump. This addition was made to increase the reliability of adequate water flow for afterheat cooling. A study o… more

Tests of Bearing Materials for the Experimental Through-Tubes in the Egcr

Description: The four experimental through-tubes provided in the Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor will extend directly through the core of the reactor and penetrate both the upper and lower pressure vessel heads. Each tube is anchored in an upper head nozzle and the bottom end is allowed to slide in a lower head nozzle. This lower nozzle is basically a T'' section that provides bottom access to the through-tube and a side access for the piping which connects the throughtube to the experimenter's cell. Due to… more

Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, November 1961

Description: Openation of a 6-in.-dia foam separation column with Sr/sup 89/ tracer and dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a surfactant and foaming agent was continued. The catalytic oxidation of H/sub 2/, CO, and CH/sub 4/ was studied using a nickel- chromepalladium ribbon catalyst. A Mark I prototype fuel assembly was sheared to within 1.5-in. of the end by modifying the gas hydraulic system of the shear. The force required to shear a highly carburized Mark I fuel assembly ductile tubing. Demonstration of the mec… more

A fast neutron time of flight system for use with cyclotrons

Description: A reference pulse generator, transistorized timedifference-to-pulse- height converter, and beam pulse scaler are described and discussed as to their function in the fast neutron time-of-flight system for use with cyclotrons, The system is used for angular distribution and cross section measurements. Results are presented showing time resolution, absolute counting efficiency, and beam pulse scaling of the system. (N.W.R.)

Metabolism of C¹⁴-Carboxyl-Labeled-3-Hydroxyanthranilic Acid in Normal and Neoplastic Mice

Description: The o-aminophenol, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-OHAA) is a metabolite of tryptophan normally present in urine in trace quantities. C14-3-OHAA was given to normal mice and mice with either mammary adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme or ascites tumor to study the influence of these transplantable tumors on metabolism of 3-OHAA.

Special plutonium recycle at Purex

Description: The critical-mass incident at Recuplex has necessitated resumption of reworking Task 1 supernatants through the Purex process. The supernatants contain relatively small quantities of plutonium and will be shipped as treated nitric acid solutions in PR cans. Current plans are to introduce the solutions into the Purex process at the normal rework position, the HAF Make-up Tank E6. This report summarizes the anticipated character of supernatant recycle material, outlines process control requiremen… more
