Evaluation and Consolidation of Electrolytic Thorium

Description: Abstract: "Sound, fabricable ingots of thorium were produced by triple are melting of electrolytic thorium. Consumable electrodes were fabricated by tack welding of cold-pressed and vacuum-sintered bars of the granular thorium electrodeposited from a molten-salt bath. The hydrogen content of the electrodeposited material was reduced from 80 to 4 ppm by vacuum sintering at 1250 C at pressures below 1 x 10-(-3) mm of mercury. Both sodium and chlorine content were reduced during melting; sodium fr… more

The Anatomy of Plasmons

Description: From abstract: "Plamons (plasma-magnetic entities) are toroidal "packages" of plasma wrapped up in their own magnetic field. Experimental evidence for the existence of plasmons is adduced and theoretical considerations concerning their various types and their stability are discussed."

The use of ALUM and activated silica for 100 Area process water coagulation. Final report

Description: Production rates of the Hanford reactors can be increased in proportion to the quantity of process cooling water which can be supplied to them. This water must be of such a quality that slug and tube corrosion rates are acceptable, the gross activity of the effluent water must not be excessive, the concentration of specific radioactive isotopes constituting a radiological hazard must be minimized, and the film formation rates should be as low as possible. In the Hanford water treatment process,… more

A Purex process two cycle plant study

Description: Major additions to separations facilities may be required because of increased reactor power levels, reduced exposures; changes in slug specifications, obsolescence of existing solvent extraction plants or development of new separations processes with lower operating costs. The magnitude of first costs for a separations plant is so large as to discourage production planning which would require an additional major separations facility. Experience in separations design has shown that certain proc… more

Design criteria: Reactor plant modification -- Project CG-558 and 100-C Area Alterations -- Project CG-600. Volume 1, Revision 1

Description: This document defines the basic criteria to be used in the preparation of detailed design for Project CG-558, Reactor Plant Modification for Increased Production and for Project CG-600, 100-C Area Alterations. It has been determined that the most economical method of increasing plutonium production within the next five years is by the modernization and improvement of the 100-B, 100-C, 100-D, 100-DR, 100-F, and 100-H reactor plants. These reactors are currently incapable of operating at their ma… more

An experimental investigation of the unsteady lift induced on a wing in the downwash field of an oscillating canard control surface

Description: Report presenting the results of an experimental investigation of the unsteady lift induced on a wing in the downwash field of an oscillating canard control surface. The results indicated that existing theories provide a reliable guide for the estimation of the magnitude of the lift derivatives and centers of pressure at low values of reduced frequency and low angles of attack.

Longitudinal Characteristics at Transonic and Supersonic Speeds of a Rocket-Propelled Airplane Model Having a 60-Degree Delta Wing and Low Swept Horizontal Tail

Description: Report presenting measurements of the longitudinal stability, lift, and drag characteristics of an airplane configuration with a 60 degree delta wing and a swept horizontal tail mounted near the wing plane extended at a range of Mach numbers using the rocket-model technique. Comparisons are made to data form a similar model with the tail mounted above the wing plane.

The effect of inlet installation on the zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body configuration from flight tests at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.86

Description: Report presenting zero-lift drag results for two 60 degree delta-wing configurations with air inlets. One had twin conical-shock semi-circular scoops just ahead of the wing-body juncture and one had a modified wing section over the inboard portion to allow installation of modified triangular inlets in the wing leading edge. Results regarding the drag coefficients and mass-flow ratios are provided.

Lateral-control investigation at transonic speeds of differentially deflected horizontal-tail surfaces for a configuration having a 6-percent-thick 45 degree sweptback wing

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the lateral-control effectiveness of differentially deflected horizontal-tail surfaces mounted behind a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination. The effectiveness of the differentially deflected horizontal tail as a lateral-control device was found to be essentially independent of angle of attack and Mach number even in the transonic region. Results regarding the effects of differential deflection of horizonta… more
