DISCUSSION OF AN ACTIVATION METHOD FOR MEASURING THE RATIO OF U$sup 238$ ABSORPTION TO U$sup 235$ FISSION IN A REACTOR

Description: The theory is presented in detail of an activation method for measuring the ratio of U/sup 238/ absorptions to U/sup 235/ fissions in a nuclear reactor. The origin of the activities is discussed, the equations are given for interpretation of the measurements, and the expected counting rates are computed for a typical experiment in the EGCR. (auth)

SUMMARY OF HRT RUN 21

Description: The HRT was operated experimentally during run 2l at powers up to 5 Mw to explore the limiting conditions of fuel stability and to demonstrate the reliability of the system. The effect of core pressure on fuel stability was investigated over the range from l250 to 1750 psig. Stable operation at 5 Mw (2.6 Mw in the core) was demonstrated at 1250 psig. At 1600 and 1750 psig, fuel instability accompanied by rapid loss of reactivity occurred at powers down to 2.5 Mw. The threshold power for reactiv… more

Development of Liquid-Phase Sintering Techniques for Molybdenum Alloys. Final Report

Description: An envelope-type microstructure produced by liquidphase sintering techniques was used to develop ductiIe molybdenum-base alloys for sodium-cooled fast reactor application. A total of 105 compositions was examined; 21 showed evidence of room-temperature ductility, and a number of other compositions appeared promising. The prerequisites for obtaining ductile liquid-phase sintered materials were demonstrated. The most ductile alloys produced are based on the Mo--Pd--Cu and Mo --W--Ni--Fe systems. … more

Examination of T-111 clad uranium nitride fuel pins irradiated up to 13,000 hours at a clad temperature of 990/sup 0/C

Description: The examination of 27 fuel pins irradiated in the Plum Brook reactor facility is described. Curtailment of NASA sponsored nuclear programs prevented a complete examination of all pins. Nevertheless, results include fuel pin integrity, clad ductility, clad strain, fission gas release, fuel burnup, fuel swelling, neutron fluence, metallography, and instrumentation reliability. Twenty-two fuel pins were tested for fission gas leaks; 13 pins leaked with two having visible cracks. Fuel swelling appe… more

Borehole cement and rock properties studies. Progress report for the period up to 1 August 1976

Description: Research on the use of cements in radioactive waste isolation is reported. Other research is reported on the effects of thermal treatments of clays and shales on their cation exchange capacities and relative sorptive properties for cations. Development of instrumentation for measuring thermal properties of cements at atmospheric pressure was completed. A method was developed for measuring heat flow in shales and cement. Data on thermodynamic properties of cements and shales are included. Studie… more

Wind-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Horizontal- and Vertical-Tail Contributions to the Static Lateral Stability Characteristics of a Complete-Model Swept-Wing Configuration at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: Results regarding an investigation to determine the horizontal- and vertical-tail contributions to the static lateral stability of a complete-model swept-wing configuration at high subsonic speeds. Generally, Mach number effects within the range studied and wing effects on the tail contribution were small and the overall trends of the data of the present investigation agreed with those which have been established at low speeds.
