Standard laboratory hydraulic pressure drop characteristics of various solid and I&E fuel elements

Description: The purpose of this report is to present a set of standard pressure-drop curves for various fuel elements in process tubes of Hanford reactors. The flow and pressures within a process tube assembly under normal conditions are dependent to a large extent on the magnitude of the pressure drop across the fuel elements. The knowledge of this pressure drop is important in determination of existing thermal conditions within the process tubes and in predicting conditions for new fuel element designs o… more

THE USE OF TRI-n-OCTYLPHOSPHINE OXIDE IN THE SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF THORIUM FROM ACIDIC SOLUTIONS

Description: Thorium is readily extracted by a solution of tri-noctylphosphine oxide in cyclohexane from either acidic nitrate or chloride solutions. The maximum extraction coefficient in a nitrate medium is 380 as compared to 1300 for a chloride solution. In nitrate media the extraction coefficient is relativelv unaffected by changes in the anion concentration. In chloride media the coefficient varies directly with increasing chloride concentration, i.e., from about 0.4 in one molar chloride to the maximum… more

TRANSMISSION-LINE MISSILE ANTENNAS

Description: Protruding rocket antennas of low silhouette are examined using transmission-line concepts. The theory was developed specifically for nondissipative terminations and line sections; however, the formulas are readily generalized to include ohmic losses in the lines and terminations. Adaptive computations may be made for conductors other than circular and the theory may be used to analyze antennas of other missiles. (J.R.D.)

The Relationship Between the Surface Appearance and Depth of Damage of Subfabric and Bare Skin Burns Produced by Radiant Thermal Energy

Description: In a series of 600 cutaneous burns in swine produced by radiant thermal energy at 0.5 and 5.0 sec exposure time, the relationship of thc surface appearance and the depth of damage of bare skin and subfabric burns was investigated. The fabrics used were a black and a gray sateen weighing 8 to 9 oz/ yd/sup 2/. It was found that there is no significant difference in the 1+ burns whether produced on bare skin or beneath fabric, either at 0.5 or 5.0 sec exposure. However, the 2+ subfabric burns aver… more

Zircex Fluoride Volatility Combination

Description: In using the Zircex Process head-end to recover Zr from fuel elements before recovery of U by fluoride volatility, loss of U as UCl/sub 4/ is a problem. The suitability of using a Ni wire filter for trapping entrained UCl/sub 4/, and recovery of the trapped U by direct fluorination of filter and residue is investigated. It is recommended from these studies that water vapor and oxygen should be kept out of the reactor, and that the filter and filter material should be further investigated. (T.R.… more

HEATING AND COOLING TESTS ON THE ORR HN-1 IN-PILE LOOP MOCKUP

Description: OTS. Heating and cooling tests were made on the ORR HN-1 in-pile loop mockup 0-l-20 to test the operation of the loop when subjected to reactor scrams or setbacks. The loop was fitted with additional heaters to simulate reactor heat. Reactor transients were simulated by manually changing the power at a predetermined rate. It was found that thc loop control system was adequate and that loop temperatures could be maintained within a total change of 5 deg C. (auth)

THE REACTIONS OF MAGNESIUM AND MAGNESIUM ALLOYS WITH GASES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

Description: The ignition temperature of Mg is influenced by numerous variables of which the most important appear to be alloying (or dissimilar metal contact) and the concentration of the Mg vapor over the heated metal. Most alloying elements lower the ignition temperature; however, Re additions inhibit the pyrophoricity of alloys up to temperatures in excess of their melting point. Although there is evidence that the ignition temperature of Mg is O/sub 2/-pressure sensitive, its effects are slight in comp… more
