An Investigation of Scaling of Zirconium at Elevated Temperatures Quarterly Status Report no. 9.June 2, 1955 to Sept. 2, 1955

Description: To obtain a better understanding of the mechanism involved in scaling behavior of zirconium, kinetic studies were made of the weight pickup in air after the following pretreatments; (1) exposure to oxygen or nitrogen, (2) exposure to air, oxygen or nitrogen and removal of the resulting surface compounds.

Dynamic Response of Reactor Plant to Load Changes. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-251 (T-612390)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the responses of the plant when subjected to load transients exceeding the design magnitudes, and to determine the maximum load changes, positive or negative, that the plant can sustain. The reactor plant responded satisfactorily to all load transients. The only limits exceed were the pressurizer high and low level alarm points. The magnitude of the transients and the time required for the plant to return to equilibrium was dependent upon the size of the… more

Radiation Effects in Circular Electron Accelerators

Description: "The effects of radiation emission on the motion of electrons in high energy synchrotrons are analyzed. The damping rates and quantum excitation of the three principal modes of oscillation are derived for strong focusing and constant gradient accelerators. Methods for correcting the radiation effects for strong focusing accelerators are discussed."

A Numerical Integration Scheme for Problems Involving Contour Representations

Description: The definition of the Lebesgue integral is used to develop a numerical integration method in which the integral is evaluated directly from a contour plot of the function. It is useful in working from weather maps, potential surfaces, etc., but was particularly designed to assist in reducing blast diffraction space-time diagrams to simple, meaningful quantities.

A Comparison of the Neutron Yields from Low-Voltage Sources

Description: The description of the thick-target neutron yields from the D(t,n)He4 and the D(d,n)He3 reactions is calculated as a function of the energy of the bombarding particles. For 60-kev particles the ratio is 108. I increases to 168 at 100 Kev and to 194 for 120-kev particles. A qualitative discussion of the yields from various deuterium target leads to the conclusion that the greatest yield would come from the target which has the lowest stopping cross section per deuterium atom.
