Corrosion of plutonium metal when stored in containers having plastic components

Description: The conclusions are: (1) The formation of powder or ``oxide`` in the storage container is caused almost entirely by packaging of plutonium in plastic materials. (2) The corrosion of the plutonium follows degradation of the plastic due to the intense radiation. (3) The powder, formed by this corrosion is not PuO{sub 2} but a mixture of oxides, hydrides, and chlorides in varying proportions, depending on the type and amount of plastic in the individual storage container. (4) The powder consists p… more

Reactor phase-out discharge planning

Description: Reactor phase-out discharge planning involves forcing all tubes into a discharge pattern such that they can all be discharged at the appointed time with maximum fuel utilization. When considering reactors operating on the block discharge concept, action must be taken early to cause the fringe to reach goal exposure at the same times as the central core. For the case of alternate row or random discharge of core material, there is the additional problem of discharging all core tubes at a single o… more

Tables of Electron Radial Functions and Tangents of Phase Shifts for Light Nuclei (Z=1 through 10)

Description: From Introduction: "This Monograph, supplemented by ORNL-3207 [9], should eliminate completely the need for use of approximate formulas (e.g. those of Kotani and Ross [10]). The formulation of the problem has been summarized in sec. II. This is followed in sec. III by a discussion of the methods used in numerical calculations. Sec. IV contains a detailed explanation to facilitate the use of present tables."

Deposition Of Thermal Energy By Nuclear Explosives

Description: A fraction of the energy released by the underground detonation of nuclear explosives is locally deposited as residual thermal energy. An accurate prediction of this usable fraction of the energy released is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of several of the proposed projects in the Plowshare Program. This paper will present a summary of the available data on residual thermal energy from nuclear detonations in three different geological media: tuff, halite, and granodiorite.

Technological hazards evaluation core E-Q load

Description: The United States Atomic Energy Commission authorized the production of 110 kg of U-233 by the irradiation of thorium oxide in the Hanford production reactors. This irradiation will be carried out by replacing the natural uranium fuel in all or a portion of the process tubes in several of the reactors with thorium oxide (thoria) and slightly enriched uranium. This reactor loading is referred to as an ``E-Q load.`` Reactor loadings are separated into two types which can be charged independently … more

Exponential Signal Rate-Of-Rise Measurement Instrument

Description: The increasing exponential function e-at [a > 0] characterizes such natural events as gas discharges, neutron multiplication, and the transistor avalanche phenomenon. This report describes an instrument for measuring the rate of rise, a, of an increasing electrical exponential signal.
