Final report B, D, F reactor side shield hole boring technology

Description: Four years of intermittent development has culminated in the successful test drilling on-reactor, of one step plug hole. Since 1960, several different drive units and many diamond, carbide, and tool steel cutting heads were tried unsuccessfully in attempts to bore a stepped hole in a mockup of B, D, P side shielding. Success was finally achieved in 1963 using a standard horizontal boring mill and tool steel cutters. With slight modifications, this same equipment was successfully used in an on-r… more

Report of GETHC meeting December, 1963 review of IPD Ball 3X safety philosophy

Description: Information resulting from recent graphite investigations in the K Reactors were presented to the Council. Separations as much as three to four inches were reported. Contraction of the graphite within the fueled regions of these reactors is now about one per cent in the direction transverse to the extrusion axis of the graphite and about two per cent in the parallel direction. Saturation is not expected until shrinkage of at least two to three per cent is observed in the transverse direction. T… more

Improved neptunium accumulation flowsheet

Description: The Redox acid precycle flowsheet which has been in use since November of 1959 vas adopted to provide neptunium recovery. Although neptunium recovery on this flowsheet has been satisfactory, several problems have been encountered. Among these are: marginal uranium decontamination, increased hexone degradation and increased corrosion of precycle piping and equipment. To circumvent these problems an acid-deficient precycle flowsheet was proposed. In August, 1964, following replacement of the 1A C… more

Production test IP-654-A evaluation of ten-inch enriched uranium fuel elements

Description: At this present time, fuel elements of two basic lengths are used in the IPD reactors --a ``six-inch`` enriched uranium element (0.947 w/o U-235) and an ``eight-inch`` natural uranium element. Although fuel element diameters vary fro model to model, the length of the uranium cores is reasonably constant. An evaluation of fuel element lengths has bee made and the economic incentive for producing and irradiating longer fuel elements is fairly large. This test is a first step in evaluating the irr… more

Analysis of test data on ablation of SNAP 2/10A fuel, aluminum, and stainless steel in an arc-heated wind tunnel

Description: A series of arc-jet tests were performed for the purpose of investigating the behavior of SNAP 2/10A fuel in a simulated reentry environment. The data from the tests (motion pictures and transient temperature distributions) were analyzed and compared with computations which used an energy balance to describe the heating of the fuel to its melting temperature. The dissociation of hydrogen was assumed to occur as an isothermal, endothermic phase change. This concept neglects the kinetics of diffu… more

Design criteria fire and sanitary water modifications

Description: Water for fire and sanitary use in the older reactor areas is provided by pumps located in the 183 building of each particular area. Each area has two electrically driven pumps for normal use and two steam driven pumps in case of power failure. Distribution within an area is through an underground main loop with laterals to buildings and fire hydrants. When the DR, F and H Reactors are deactivated, fire and sanitary water in each area is still necessary for protection of the area and for certai… more

Autoradiographic Study on the Origin and Fate of Small Lymphoid Cells in the Dog Bone Marrow: Effect of Femoral Artery Clamping During in Vivo Availability of Thymidine-H

Description: Mammalian bone marrow contains a considerable number of small lymphoid cells (small lymphocytes and small lymphocyte-like cells). The total number of these cells (50,000 to 500,000 per mm3) depends on species, age and other factors. The origin, function and fate of these cells remain obscure in many respects. In particular, it has not been shown beyond doubt, if and to what extent small lymphoid cells enter the bone marrow via the blood stream or if their origin is in part or entirely within th… more

Studies of the Localization, Physiochemical Properties, and Action of Phycocyanin in Anacystis Nidulans

Description: The blue-green algae, classed as primitive monerans, represent the lowest level of organization known to possess a higher plant type of photosynthesis. The role in photosynthesis of the phycocyanin in these organisms is particularly interesting from the point of view of ultrastructural biochemistry. It has been shown repeatedly that despite the primacy normally assigned to chlorophyll, the light absorbed by phycocyanin is used more efficiently for photosynthesis (equated with photosynthetic oxy… more

Bubble Chamber Vacuum System

Description: The vacuum system for the bubble chamber must evacuate rapidly a volume of approximately 500 cubic feet and eliminate the outgassing of a surface area of approximately 50,000 square inches. The backstreaming of oil from the diffusion pump must be kept to an absolute minimum to prevent oil films forming on the window. The vacuum system must also provide the protection against liquid nitrogen and hydrogen/leaks to prevent pressure buildup.
