HRT Sampler Development

Description: A prototype sampler for obtaining samples of high radioactive UO2SO4 solution for use in the HRT is presented. It was successfully operated in conjunction with a low pressure water system and a high pressure, high temperature UO2SO4 system.

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies. II, Autoclave Z18

Description: In order to test the effect of chromate ion on the corrosion of Zircaloy-2, a 0.04 m uranyl sulfate solution (enriched) containing added acid, copper sulfate and 557 ppm of Cr (VI) was autoclaved with rocking at 280 degrees C for about eight days in the HB-5 facility of the LITR. The average corrosion rate established by the rate of consumption of oxygen was 9.9 mpy at a power density of 4.9 w/ml. It is indicated by comparison with a previous corrosion study under LITR radiation that the presen… more

Supplement to: Curve Plotting Routine for the Oracle (57-4-56)

Description: A general program has been written to plot curves on the Oracle curve plotter. The supplement includes changes to slow down some of the loops and minimize the possibility of read-around errors and changes to handle special cases.

The Choice in Thorium Oxide Slurries for the Prevention of Caking in Circulating Systems

Description: A qualitative theory for cake formation in ThO2 slurries is presented. The sphere formation which occurs in "Standard" slurry can be explained on the same basis. The irregular and unpredictable yield strength is easily fitted into the theory. On the basis of this theory, the writer has been led to the conclusion that only colloidally stable slurries, or slurries with crystallites or comminution-resistant particles which are large enough to overcome colloidal effects (probably larger than 0.1u) … more

Deflection Equations for Various Loading of Circular-Arc Curved Beams

Description: In analyzing stresses, deflections, and forces in piping and certain structural systems, it is useful to have a set of equations giving the deflections at any point of a curved beam in terms of the various loads acting on the beam. This technical report presents the deflection equations for a curved circular-arc beam of variable length. The cases treated include in-plane and out-of-plane bending due to forces and moments applied to the end of the beam in three principal directions, and uniforml… more

Summary of Corrosion Data for HRT Mockup Operational Period Ending November 5, 1956

Description: The operation of the HRT mockup was on 0.042m UO2SO4, 0.024m H2SO4, and 0.005m CuSO4 at 280 C and 1400 psi pressure. with the O2 content at near 500 ppm. The pump showed bearing wear and high corrosion. The letdown heat exchanger was removed from the mockup and sectioned. The metallographic examination revealed corrosion. Results of corrosion runs on Ti, zircaloy-2, and stainless steel are given.

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies : LITR I. Outline of Methods and Procedures

Description: During the development of in-reactor corrosion experiments three types of bomb designs have been developed for following quantitatively the consumption of oxygen in a bomb which is fabricated from the particular metal under test. The bombs are designed so as to be rocked continuously during their in-reactor exposure, consequently agitating the uranium salt solution contained in the bomb and permitting gentle movement of the solution past metal specimens and other corroding surfaces. The oxygen … more
