CALCULATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF REFRACTORY-METAL COMPONENTS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN VACUUM

Description: Equations based on kinetic theory relate the contamination of refractory metals in vacuum to the appropriate variables. Several examples are given for which the allowable system pressures are calculated. The examples illustrate the effect of varying several parameters. The importance of the sticking factor for active gases on hot refractory metals and its effect on the system design are discussed. The data for estimating the sticking factor for O/sub 2/ on Nb are given, along with some estimate… more

Calculation and Measurement of the Transient Temperature in a Low- Enrichment UO$sub 2$ Fuel Rod During Large Power Excursions

Description: The results of Spert I in-pile transient tests of a rodtype, low- enrichment UO/sub 2/ fuel element are presented. The tests were performed to investigate the possibility of damage to such long thermal-time-constant fuel rods when subjected to short-period power excursions, and to test the effectiveness of an instrumentation technique for measurement of UO/sub 2/ fuel temperatures within the rods. In an initial series of power excursion tests, in which the range of reactor periods was from appr… more

THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR BeO IRAADIATION EXPERIMENTS ORNL 41-8 AND ORNL 41-9

Description: The experimental plan for irradiating BeO pellets in Experiments ORNL 41- 8 and ORNL 41-9 was chosen in accordance with the principles of experimental design. The design is known by statisticians as a 2/sup 5/ factorial experiment confound'' in six replications. Five variables---size, density, grain size, temperature and time--are controlled at two levels to form the basic 2i factorial experiment. The sixth variable, neutron flux, is introduced by confounding on higher-order interactions. An ex… more

RADIOISOTOPES AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 12

Description: Continued research is reported in the areas of intrinsic radioactive tracers for industrial process control and the effects of structural factors on radioinduced graft polymerization. The use of Be-- Po neutron sources for production of short-lived isotopes is being investigated. Data are included on the effects of target volume, high-Z scattering media, target-isotope concentration, and macroscopic cross-section on speciflc and total activation produced with a 10-curie source. Research on graf… more

An Algol Compiler for the Control Data Corporation 1604. Progress Report No. 2

Description: A summary of the progress on development of the ALGOL compiler for the Control Data Corporation 1604 Computer is presented. This computer is based on machine-independent specifications developed at ORNL. A brief description of the structure of the compiler is included along with discussions concerning language restrictions, the hardware language representation, and the required equipment configuration. An example illustrates the generated program instructions. (auth)

Buildup of Fission Products in Reactor Fuel and Coolant With 'Unclad' Fuel Material

Description: Concentrations of fission products in the fuel and in the coolant stream of a generalized reactor power plant employing unclad fuel material were calculated using actual fission-product chains and wide ranges of assumed values of escape rate from the fuel and removal rate from the coolant stream. The calculations were made on an IBM 704 digital computer. Some typical results are displayed in the form of graphs to illustrate the effects of the variables. As data on escape rates from fuel and rem… more

Carbide Cathode Studies, Physical and Chemical Redeposition. Quarterly Progress Report, April 1, 1962-June 30, 1962

Description: The utilization of physical and chemical processes to reduce the rate of vapor loss of thermionic emitters composed of mixed carbides of U and Zr in order to increase the permissible operating temperature is being studied. Preliminary, qualitative results obtained from study of physical redeposition processes showed that increasing the collector temperature may markedly reduce the rate of weight loss from a UC emitter operating at 2053 deg K. The requisite experimental equipment for studies of … more

"Life" Tests on Internally Water-Cooled Hollow Copper Conductors

Description: Tests were conducted to determine whether a time limitation exists on the use of internally water-cooled hollow copper conductors operating at densities of up to 330,000 amps/in/sup 2/. Using demineralized water, having a specific resistivity of 4 to 9 x 10/sup 6/ ohm-cm, no indication of a decrease in heat transfer coefficient as a function of time was observed. However, metallographic examination revealed that corrosion--erosion does occur at a slow rate. Using process water there was a time … more

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report

Description: The study of the formation mechanism of free radicals in polymeric materials was continued. Emphasis was placed on an examination of the effect of structural factors on the efficiency of free-radical site formation in acrylate polymers. Site measurements as a function of dose were made for polymethacrylamide and repeated for polymethacrylic acid. The volatile products from the irradiation of polyacrylic acid. polymethacrylic acid, poly-ter- butylmethacrylate. and polycyclohexyl methacrylate wer… more

Calculation of Departure From Nucleate Boiling Conditions for the Spert Iii Reactor in the High Pressure Region

Description: Calculations are made to determine the safe steadystate power operating limits of the Spert III reactor from the viewpoint of fuel plate burnout. A computer program is developed for the IBM 704 to aid in these calculations. The Bettis design departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) equation is used in conjunction with the LeTourneau and Grimble method of hot channel'' analysis in the development of the calculations. For cases where DNB occurs in the bulk boiling region, a modified Martinelli-Nelso… more
