Progress report for the projection welded brazed closure

Description: This report covers progress on the Projection Welded Brazed Closure following work of Ard and Steinkamp (HW-69592). In order to continue the investigation of the closure on NPR inner fuel, a 600 KVA machine was acquired. Weld tests were conducted; the heat balance problem was addressed.

Design of production test IP-423-A-FP evaluation of uranium fuel cores having virus heat treatments

Description: Fuel element warp occurring during the irradiation period is considered to be one of the major fuel element dimensional stability problems. Warp has been shown to correlate with accelerated corrosion attack. and also can contribute to stuck fuel charges, particularly in bumpered or self-supported charges where the annular clearances are reduced due to the presence of the projection rails. Thus, any process which offers a potential for reducing the average warp should be evaluated. Preliminary t… more

Reproductive performance of female miniature swine ingesting Sr{sup 90} daily

Description: A long term study designed to determine the biological effects of daily Sr{sup 90} ingestion in miniature swine has been underway in this laboratory since 1958. The Ultimate objective of this study is to provide data that will assist in defining for man the levels of dietary Sr{sup 90} at which there is no damage or negligible damage to him or his progeny. The animals being used in these studies are miniature swine which have a mature weight of 60 to 80 kg. The dietary requirements, gastrointes… more

High Pressure Pump Seal Development

Description: "Test results indicated that graphite is not suitable for seal face material. A program to evaluate various materials and seal face geometries was initiated. A seal run using nucerite-bearium combination was carried on for six hours."

The 4K ANGIE Code

Description: The ANGIE, one of a series of reactor neutronic programs for an IBM 709 or 7090 data processing system, solves the time-dependent, multi-group, neutron diffusion equation for 1 to 26 energy groups applied to a rectangular mesh superimposed on either an x-y or an r-z plane.

I. Niobium(IV) Bromide and Pyridine Adducts of the Niobium(IV) Halides

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "Reaction of NbBr5 and niobium metal in a sealed tube under a temperature gradient from 410° to 350° gave NbBr4 in good yields. However, an increase in the higher temperature from 410° to 450° was sufficient to eliminate NbBr4 as a product and cause deposition of a lower bromide."

The Preparation of TaBr4, TaI4 and Pyridine Adducts of the Tantalum(IV) Halides

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The necessary conditions for preparation of TaBr4 and TaI4 by reduction of the pentahalides with tantalum or aluminum metal in a sealed tube under a controlled temperature gradient have been demonstrated."

Determination of Total X-Ray Beam Energy With a Calibrated Ionization Chamber

Description: From Abstract: "This report describes the use of an air-filled aluminum-alloy ionization chamber to determine the energy transported by a bremsstrahlung beam with maximum photon energy in the range 6 to 170 Mev. This report can be used to construct a replica chamber to determine its absolute calibration between 6 and 170 Mev under a variety of experimental conditions."

Electrical Resistivity of Rare-Earth Alloys

Description: From abstract: "Resistivities of solid solution alloys in the systems Gd-Lu, Tb-Lu, Gd-Er, and Y-Lu were measured from 4.2-320°K to determine the behavior of the resistivity in alloy systems with magnetic phenomena arising from localized magnetic moments. A large contribution to the residual resistivity is caused by the random distribution of these localized moments through the lattice. An analysis of the lattice resistivity of the metals shows large variations across the heavy rare-earth serie… more

Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter

Description: Human iron metabolism has been extensively studied in the past twenty-five years with the radioisotopes iron⁵⁵ and iron⁵⁹. Before the availability of the whole body counter, however, iron absorption studies were performed by the indirect methods of fecal assay of unabsorbed radioiron, and estimation of red cell incorporation of absorbed tracer. The few long-term excretion studies performed required numerous assumptions, since human iron excretion was less well understood. Whole body counting pr… more

Efficiency pf Multiple Traversal Targets

Description: The efficiency of multiple traversal targets is defined as the probability that a proton dies by making a nuclear collision in the target rather than by hitting the limit of the synchrotron aperture. The efficiencies of Be, Al, Cu, and Pb targets are shown for 15 and 30-Bev protons in the Brooknaven AGS. Beryllium was found to be the most efficient. (M.C.G.)

Definition of Tory II-C

Description: From time to time, in discussion of possible naval-based nuclear ramjet missile systems, a question arises concerning whether or not a particular reactor would or would fall within the `Tory II-C Technology`. Such a question is meaningless unless a definition is furnished. This report provides such a definition.

Alpha Air Monitoring with [alpha]/[beta] Ratio Compensation for Natural Interference

Description: Abstract. Results are presented of a theoretical study to calculate the [alpha]/[beta] ratio of filter-collected natural airborne radioactivity. The detection of airborne plutonium contamination by noting increases in this [alpha]/[beta] ratio is discussed. A modification of this approach which provides a more uniform response to alpha airborne contamination is described.

Beam Current Integrator

Description: The object of this report is to acquaint the operator with the operational and technical aspects of the beam current integrator as well as the theory of the system operation. The design and operation of a beam current integrator are described, and the theory of operation is discussed. The instrument has two channels. The console channel is designed to measure the accumulation of charge received by a target during a period of a day no matter what the range used in the experimenter's channel. An … more
