Effects of Seismic Vibrations on the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor

Description: The effects of seismic vibrations on the dynamic behavior of a composite system were analyzed. The equations of motion were derived and soIved with special emphasis on determining the resulting stresses. The method of analysis thus developed was applied to the composite structure consisting of the core, pressure vessel, and supporting skirt of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR). A system with three degrees of freedom was considered in order to determine the effects of an earthquake of t… more

Production Test IP-485-A -- Fuel element film formation studies

Description: The objectives of the test described in this report was to determine the inventory of radionuclides in the films on standard production reactor fuel elements and the corrosion of these fuel elements as a function of position in the reactor.

333 Building preliminary survey potential equipment improvements

Description: In order to provide advance direction for 333 Building equipment development work, a survey of potential areas of significant savings through equipment improvement has been made. The purpose of this report is only to indicate areas for investigation, not to define a program. Equipment is adequate to maintain operating continuity and provide for safe operation of the building. Special attention should be given to ``one-of-a-kind`` pieces of equipment. These include the press, cutoff saw, beta he… more

Adjustment of total control parameters for C Reactor

Description: The three alterations discussed in this report have an effect on the parameters used in Total Control Calculations for C Reactor: Conversion to smaller diameter and shorter vertical safety rods in six outer control channels; installation of forty-four overbored tubes with short fuel charges in the flat zone and an associated increase in spike enrichment; and centralization of the enrichment ring into a three-lattice unit width in place of three and one-half lattice units previously in use.

Exposure of Reactor Structural Materials to Impure Helium at Elevated Temperatures

Description: In the High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR), structural metals will be required to operate at temperatures of 1000 to 1400 deg F in an impure- helium environment for extended periods of time. Six candidate materials for such applications, including nickel alloys and stainless steels, were subjected to simulated reactor environments for times up to 3000 hr to evaluate the extent of corrosion and the changes in mechanical properties occasioned by I such exposures. Under the experimental exp… more

Acceleration of Polarized Protons to Relativistic Energies

Description: Maintenance of poiarization of polarized protons in a linear accelerator is known to be feasible. Circular accelerators present a different problem, and the investigation of the interaction of orbit dynamics and particle polarization in general is undertaken. The equation of motion of the spin vector of a charged particle in a magnetic field as formulated by Bargman, Michel, and Telegdi is utilized in the study of depolarization for several accelerators. High values of depoiarization are obtain… more

STRESS ANALYSIS OF SCTI MIXING TEES

Description: A specially designed tee, which is verified by stress analysis to be operable under the design conditions of the SCTl test installation, is shown. The main line sodium flow is changed from primary sodium flow at 1300 deg F to secondary sodium flow at 700 deg F. This is done at such a rate as to cause the downstream temperature to change 35 deg F/sec. There are 25 of these cycles. Startup causes a temperature change from ambient to 350 deg F on both lines at a rate of 100 deg F/hr. There are 5 o… more

The Enhancement of Acidity of Very Weak Acids in Tertiary Butyl Alcohol

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The acidity of a solution of acid, HX, and salt, MX, is affected by both the concentration of X- and M+ owing to incomplete dissociation of the salt, MX. it was possible to increase the acidity of a solution of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol - tetrabutylammonium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenolate relative to a dilute solution of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide by increasing the tetrabutylammonium bromide content. This indicates that the dissociation constant of the hydroxide ba… more

Dosimetry investigation of the recuplex accident

Description: At 10:59 AM (PST), Saturday, April 7, 1962 a criticality accident occurred in a plutonium waste chemical recovery facility at the Hanford Atomic Products Operation, operated for the Atomic Energy Commission by the General Electric Company. Four men were hospitalized but were released after medical observation and after estimates of the radiation doses received were available. This report describes the dosimetry investigation that was made following the accident. This investigation was facilitat… more

Nine-Channel Polychromator For Observation Of Time-Dependent Spectral Line Profiles

Description: The instrument (polychromator) described observes time-dependent spectral-line profiles by simultaneous measurement at nine different wavelengths of light intensity as a function of time. A cylindrical lens magnifies the dispersion of a Jarrell-Ash Model S2000 Ebert Monochromator and forms an image on a light-pipe solder. Light pipes transfer light from various sections of the image--i.e., different wavelengths--to photomultiplier tubes, and the responses are displayed on oscilloscopes. The ins… more
