Solid state chemistry of rare earth oxides. Technical progress report, 1974--1975. [High-resolution electron optical methods at 3 A resolution]

Description: Electron microscope images obtained at about 3A resolution for Pr/sub 7/O/sub 12/ (and isomorphous Zr/sub 3/Sc/sub 4/O/sub 12/) are in excellent agreement with calculated images based upon the structure determined separately by total profile neutron powder diffraction analysis. The image calculation programs establish the efficacy of lattice image interpretation in structural terms for these types of related phases whose structures are as yet beyond conventional means to determine. Such images … more

NITRITE INGROWTH AND STRESS CORROSION CHARACTERIZATION OF TANK 11H SUPERNATE

Description: Waste supernate stored in Tank 11H was analyzed periodically from May 1973-August 1975 to determine the rate of nitrite ingrowth by radiolytic decomposition of nitrate. This waste was transferred to tank 33F in accordance with TA 2-892, Rev. 1, 'Use of Cracked Tank for Fresh High Level Waste,' during the week of November 10, 1975. This letter summarizes analytical and corrosion characterization which indicate that this transfer should not increase the risk of stress corrosion cracking… more

Brayton isotope power system. Phase I (Ground demonstration system) configuration control document (CCD)

Description: The Brayton Isotope Power System (BIPS) Ground Demonstration System (GDS) configuration is defined. The GDS is configured to be similar to a conceptual flight system design referred to herein as the BIPS Flight System (FS). The Brayton Isotope Power System is being developed by the ERDA as a 500 to 2000 W/sub e/, 7 year life 3.5 W/sub e/ per pound space power system. The system was a closed Brayton dynamic system to convert energy from an isotope heat source at a net efficiency exceeding 25%. T… more

Progress on the conceptual design of a mirror hybrid fusion--fission reactor

Description: A conceptual design study was made of a fusion-fission reactor for the purpose of producing fissile material and electricity. The fusion component is a D-T plasma confined by a pair of magnetic mirror coils in a Yin-Yang configuration and is sustained by neutral beam injection. The neutrons from the fusion plasma drive the fission assembly which is composed of natural uranium carbide fuel rods clad with stainless steel and helium cooled. It was shown conceptually how the reactor might be built … more

Diamond-turning HP-21 beryllium to achieve an optical surface

Description: Investigation of diamond turning on beryllium was made in anticipation of obtaining an optical finish. Although results of past experiences were poor, it was decided to continue diamond turning on beryllium beyond initial failures. By changing speed and using coolant, partial success was achieved. Tool wear was the major problem. Tests were made to establish and plot wear as a function of cutting speed and time. Slower speeds did cause lower wear rates, but at no time did wear reach an acceptab… more
