Fission-product SiC reaction in HTGR fuel

Description: The primary barrier to release of fission product from any of the fuel types into the primary circuit of the HTGR are the coatings on the fuel particles. Both pyrolytic carbon and silicon carbide coatings are very effective in retaining fission gases under normal operating conditions. One of the possible performance limitations which has been observed in irradiation tests of TRISO fuel is chemical interaction of the SiC layer with fission products. This reaction reduces the thickness of the SiC… more

Effect of low /sup 60/Co dose rates on sister chromatid exchange incidence in the benthic worm. Neanthes arenaceodentata

Description: The usefulness of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction as a measure of low-level radiation effect was examined in a benthic marine worm, Neanthes arenaceodentata. Larvae were exposed to /sup 60/Co radiation for 12 to 24 h at total doses ranging from 0.5 to 309 R and at dose rates from 0.04 to 13 R/h. Animals exposed at intermediate dose rates (0.5, 0.6, 1.25, 2.0, and 2.5 R/h) had SCE frequencies per chromosome about twice that of those receiving no radiation (controls), whereas those expo… more

Residual contaminants in dye-penetrant testing

Description: Components of the dye-penetrant-testing process were characterized by microanalytical methods. Particulate material of a size range, which was small enough to plug the small leaks in thin-walled cans, was found. Testing of simulated leaks before and after dye-penetrant examination showed that the dye-penetrant testing had a high probability of plugging leaks < 1 x 10/sup -4/ atm-cm/sup 3//s of helium in size.

uv radiation curable paints. Topical report on material identification

Description: The program for the development of ultraviolet radiation curing of paints for application on preformed structures is discussed. The starting point of this program was the matching of resins, photoinitiators, and pigments which will result in coatings that can be cured by ultraviolet radiation. The initial work was the identification of reactive diluents and base resins that are sensitive to the uv curing process. The reactive monomeric diluents tested included multifunctional acrylates, monofun… more

Stability of SiC, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/, Si/sub 2/N/sub 2/O, SIALON and chromium oxide-containing refractories in coal-gasification environments. Final report

Description: The main conclusions from these studies are as follows: while the solubilities of Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and chromites in the silicate melts concerned are relatively small under the atmospheric conditions usually prevailing in slagging coal gasifiers, the solubilities increase drastically at extremely low oxygen pressures, under which conditions a substantial fraction of the chromium is present in the silicate liquid as Cr/sup 2 +/. The oxygen pressures at which this situation prevails, however, are… more

Abortion: Judicial and Legislative Control

Description: In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Constitution protects a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy, Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, and that a State may not unduly burden the exercise of that fundamental right by regulations that prohibit or substantially limit access to the means of effectuating that decision, Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179. But rather than settling the issue, the Court's rulings have kindled heated debate and precipitated a variety of governmental actions… more
