EQUIPOISE-3: A TWO DIMENSIONAL, TWO-GROUP, NEUTRON DIFFUSION CODE FOR THE IBM-7090 COMPUTER

Description: EQUIPOISE-3 is an IBM-7090 FORTRAN programmed code for the solution of two-group, two-dimensional, neutron diffusion equations. A maximum of 2l00 mesh points may be used, and the code will solve problems in either rectangular or cylindrical geometry. Logarithmic derivative boundary conditions are allowed, and removal of neutrons from both groups is permitted. Adjoint fluxes with the associated fluxadjoint flux regional integrals may be calculated automatically if desired. A constant buckling, g… more

Chemical Technology Division, Chemical Development Section C Progress Report for October-December 1961

Description: Recovery of Th (and U) from Granitic Rock. Recovery of Th by acid leaching ten addltlonal granite samples (36 to 82 ppm Th) from the Conway formation in N. H. ranged from about 50 to 85%, and averaged about 70%, Study of the effect of grind size on the recovery of Th from Conway and Plkes Peak granites showed no significant differences in the range minus 20 to minus 200 mesh. The Th concentration in a sized Conway granite sample was found to be much greater in the fine than in the coarse fracti… more

ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF FRAGMENTS FROM FISSION INDUCED BY HEAVYIONS IN GOLD AND BISMUTH

Description: We present the results of measurements of the angular distribution of fission fragments produced by irradiation of Au{sup 197} and Bi{sup 209} with various heavy ions. The projectiles, B{sup 11}, C{sup 12}, N{sup 14}, and O{sup 16}, had energies from a few MeV above the Coulomb barrier to 10.4 MeV per nucleon. The gross features of these results can be explained by use of a model and parameters that have been used by others to account for angular distributions of fission fragments from helium-i… more

Examination of enriched ruptured element from 2955C (RM 452)

Description: A CIIIE (enriched) element, one of two elements which failed April 5, 1962 in tube 2955C, was shipped to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for detailed examination. The element was 21st from the downsteam end. A more severe rupture which occurred in the 19th piece from the downsteam end was believed to have caused the initial rupture indication. After a hot startup a heat cycle developed in the part of the reactor containing tube 2955 increasing the bulk water temperature about 20 per cent. At abo… more

Description of the net return optimization computer program, IBM 7090, Fortran monitor

Description: During the past four years, IBM data processing computers have been utilized to perform countless studies involving the optimization of the HAPO plutonium production complex (RA.PO and off-site supporting plants). During this time, three process optimization models have been constructed and associated Fortran programs have been written. These three are (1) maximum net return, (2) minimum reactor unit cost, and (3) maximum grams. This document will be concerned only with the first program: net r… more

Ingot-dingot comparison

Description: For approximately the past two years, alloyed dingot uranium has been irradiated on a production scale for evaluation of rupture performance relative to ingot uranium. Supplementary data on dimensional behavior and certain pre-irradiation measurements have been accumulated under the Quality Certification Program. This report presents a comparison of ingot and dingot performance based on data obtained to date from this testing program. The discussion consists of three sections: (I) dimensional s… more

PULSE HEIGHT CALCULATIONS FOR A PARALLEL PLATE IONIZATION CHAMBER CONTAINING ELECTRON ATTACHING GASES

Description: When the pulse from a parallel plate electrode ionization chamber containing an attaching gas is examined with a linear pulse amplifier having the proper integration and differentiation time constants, the pulse height is an anslytic function of the attachment coefficient and the electron drift velocity. The expressions for the pulse height as a function of the partial pressure of the attaching gas, electron drift velocity, attachment coefficient, chamber geometry, and amplifier time constants … more

Spert Project Quarterly Technical Report, April-June 1962

Description: Static measurements of various nuclear core parameters were completed for the highly enriched plate-type Al-clad core to be used for the Spert I integral core destructive test program. Self-limiting power excursion tests were performed with initial asymptotic reactor periods in the range of 934 to 4.6 msec to establish the transient response of the core and to obtain data for extrapolation to shorter-period tests in which violent destructive effects are expected. For tests with periods shorter … more
