Flow Properties of Superfluid Systems of Fermions

Description: The nonspherically symmetric solutions to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory are given a physical interpretation in terms of an anisotropic fluid model. These solutions have been used previously to predict a phase transition in liquid by He{sup 3} by Emery and Sessler and Anderson, Morel, Brueckner, and Soda. An investigation of the flow properties of such systems is made that involves the calculation of the effective mass for flow in a straight channel and the moment of inertia of a cylindri… more

π<sup>+</sup>-p ELASTIC SCATTERING AT 310 Mev: PHASE-SHIFT ANALYSIS

Description: A comprehensive phase-shift analysis of {pi}{sup +}-p elastic-scattering data at 310-Mev incident-pion laboratory kinetic energy has been performed. The experimental data utilized include measurements of the differential and total cross sections and of the recoil-proton polarization. The D-wave phase shifts were found to be definitely needed in order to attain an adequate fit to the data. A general search for phase-shift solutions was carried out, using S-, P-, and D-wave phase shifts. One solu… more

Laboratory determination of normal operating flow rates with a flexible outlet connector -- BDF reactors

Description: This report is essentially an addendum, to an earlier report which presented energy loss data for various enlarged outlet fitting assemblies for possible use on the old reactors. The current report presents data for another candidate outlet fitting assembly which would tend to reduce the energy losses in the process tube outlet fittings. This outlet assembly was developed by the Materials Development Operation, IPD. The data show that the flexible connector assembly would result in a 6.9 per ce… more

Preliminary Design Criteria for the Interim Storage of High-Level Radioactive Liquid Wastes

Description: Approximately five years of process improvements, and production line waste handling experience have been accumulated since the newest tank farm, 241-A, was placed into operation. Process improvements and modifications have resulted in waste volume reductions by decreasing the quantity of solids remaining in the liquid wastes from a unit of production. The resulting concentration of fission products has produced mildly boiling solutions in the storage containers permitting further waste volume … more

THE REACTION RATE OF SODIUM SULFITE WITH DISSOLVED OXYGEN. Technical Report No. 73

Description: The reaction rate of sodium sulfite was studied as a function of oxygen concentration, Na/sub 2/SO/sub 3//O/sub 2/ ratio, temperature, catalyst, pH and surface/volume ratio.The reaction rate of hydrazine with dissolved oxygen was also studied. Oxygen removal is incomplete when the sulfite to oxygen ratio is leas than the stoichiometric quantity. With the stoichiometric quantities of oxygen and sodium sulfite present, removal is incomplete at 100 deg F in 1 min, at 200 deg F, about 95% of the ox… more

A Compilation of Room Temperature and 1200 F Properties of Metallic Materials With Specific Reference to Their Use as Fuel Cladding in Sodium Cooled Thermal Reactors

Description: A compilation is presented of room temperature and 1200/sup o/F properties of a large number of alloys which might be considered for use in a sodium-cooled reactor. Specific consideration is given to the use of such materials as fuel cladding. The arbitrary basis for property comparison is type 304 stainless steel. The study was made of 10 classes of alloys. These alloys are alloy steels, ferritic stainless steels, austenitic stainless steels, iron and iron-aluminum alloys, precipitation-harden… more

Examination of Components for Crud and Corrosion 1-B Heat Exchanger Handhole Area. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results T-612080

Description: The extent and location of corrosion, crud deposits, and defects in the ends of the 1-B heat exchanger after removing the handhole covers were determined. There was no visual evidence of pitting or corrosion inside the ends of the heat exchanger. A radiochemical analysis of a smear sample taken from the inside of number one handhole showed the presence of the following isotopes- Fe/sup 59/, Co/ sup 58/, s1>s, and Zr/sup 95/. A radiation survey performed in four handholes indicated a maximum lev… more

FISSION-GAS-RELEASE FROM UO$sub 2$, INTERIM REPORT NO. 1

Description: The evolution of fission products from UO/sub 2/ during irradiation at high temperatures is of primary interest to the Gas-cooled Reactor Project. Fuel tests consisting of UO/sub 2/ pellets encapsulated in Inconel or stainless steel were irradiated in the LITR, ORR, and ETR. The capsules were pierced in hot cells, and the gases collected in evacuated systems. Fractions of this gas, of suitable activity for counting, were taken and then analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Larger fractions of gas wer… more

A Proposal for Criticality Control Measurements Using Pulsed Neutron Methods

Description: Consideration is given to the possibility that in certain types of processing or storage facilities handling enriched fissionable isotopes the pulsed neutron method can give a useful measure of the subcriticality of the system. The proposed method describes how the concentration and multiplication constant are determined for an assembly of unknown concentrations. Such measurements might be undertaken if high levels indicate the possibility of excessive concentrations of fissionable materials. E… more
