Pole-Face Windings

Description: "A summary is presented of a preliminary study of the application of pole- face windings to the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. Estimates are made of the currents required, the forces on the wibdings and the voltages induced by the magnetic flux. The possibility of automatic control of the pole-face currents in explored, and feasible control systems are suggested."

Instruction Manual, Mercury Relay Pulse Generator Model 1-1212C

Description: The Model Q-1212C Pulser is a single frequency (60 pps) generator whose output waveform is characterized by a rise-time of less than 4 mµsec and, depending upon the method of termination, an exponential decay having a time constant of 300 or 600µsec. The waveform approximates that produced by a radiation detector. The waveform approximates that produced by a radiation detector. The maximum available output from the instrument is 10 volts, positive or negative polarity, and is continuously adjus… more

Drying of Charcoal Used for Adsorption of Gaseous Fission Products from Homogeneous Reactors

Description: In homogeneous nuclear reactors significant quantities of radioactive inert gaseous fission products must be separated from the fuel solution for disposal. The present disposal scheme, which is employed on the HRT, is to pass the mixture of fission product gases and oxygen through a charcoal adsorption bed. the oxygen passes through the bed relatively un-adsorbed, but the radioactive inert gases are adsorbed and are displaced from the bed bed very slowly giving the gases a much greater residenc… more

Thermal-Neutron Flux at the HRE-2 Core Wall, Determined from Zircaloy-2 Induced-Activity Measurements During Runs 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.

Description: The thermal-neutron flux prevailing near the upper hole in the HRE-2 core wall was determined from measurements of the induced activity in a specimen cut from the edge of the hole. The specimen was removed following run 21 and was thus exposed to reactor neutrons during runs 13, 14, 16,17, 18. 19, 20, and 21. The neutron flux, calculated for an average core power level of 2 Mw, was 2.8 x10^13 neutrons/cm^2 sec. the core wall area from which the specimen was removed was located approximately 16-… more

Capillary Flowmeter

Description: The HRT leak detector system consists of four headers each of which are connected on one side to a common supply of pressurized water and on the other side by individual tubing to the ring grooves of approximately twenty flanges. There are two methods of detecting the loss of water that are particularly applicable to the HRT: (1) By the loss of pressure in a constant volume system; (2) By the measurement of flow from a constant pressure system. It was determined to investigate the second method… more
