Mechanical Properties of Zirconium and Zirconium-Uranium Alloys Containing Tin

Description: Abstract: "The mechanical properties of a large number of zirconium alloys have been investigated. These alloys include zirconium-tin and zirconium-tin-uranium. Tensile tests have been run on these alloys at room temperature, 500 F, and 600 F. Hot-hardness data have been obtained from room temperature to 1600 F, with particular emphasis on the hot-rolling range. Creep tests and fatigue tests have been run on a number of zirconium-tin alloys at 500 F."

Appendix to HDC 2118 design criteria 100-X reactor water plant, general description - section II

Description: The factors responsible for the advances of 100-X compared with the older areas are: Simplification of the process, such as elimination of separate process water clearwells, by having the filtered water reservoirs perform that function. Combination of separate buildings into one building, such as combining filter pump house and process pump house. Use of electric standby. Use of higher capacity pumps and filter basins, and so fewer number of units. Centralization of control and operation. More … more

Preparation of Refractories from Uranium Dioxide for Melting Uranium

Description: Attention is now being drawn to the refractory properties of the pure dioxide of uranium, which make it suitable for special applications, such as the melting of pure uranium. Properties of uranium dioxide are described as they relate to fabrication. Forming of UO{sub 2} refractories by pressing and slip casting is discussed, as well as the firing of urania refractories and the properties of fired ware. Health hazards pertaining to UO{sub 2} are briefly described.

Activation Energy for Fission

Description: The experimentally determined exponential dependence of spontaneous fission rate on Z{sup 2}/A has been used to derive an expression for the dependence of the fission activation energy on Z{sup 2}/A. This expression has been used to calculate the activation energy for slow neutron induced fission and photofission. The correlation with the experimental data on these types of fission seems to be quite good.

Effect of camber and twist on the stability characteristics of models having a 45 degree swept wing as determined by the free-fall method at transonic speeds

Description: Report presenting measurements in free fall at transonic speeds of the dynamic stability characteristics of three models. Two of the models had 45 degree swept wings of aspect ratio 6 and 45 degree swept tail surfaces and differed only in that one had plane wings and one was cambered and twisted. The third had the same fuselage-tail arrangement but no wing.

Performance characteristics of canard-type missile with vertically mounted nacelle engines at Mach numbers 1.5 to 2.0

Description: Report of an investigation of the overall performance characteristics of a complete missile configuration in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at several Mach numbers, angles of attack, canard-control-surface deflections, and a designated Reynolds number based on wing mean aerodynamic chord. The investigation showed that at a Mach number of 2.0, the addition of engines to a no-engine configuration increased drag and moved the aerodynamic center rearward but produced little additional lift… more

C-Pile recommended flow -- Pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern

Description: Final approval of a flow-pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern for C Pile is desired as soon as possible to allow the completion of orifice assemblies and parallit instrumentation. The presentation of a recommended flow-pressure curve and an orifice pattern has been delayed by a lack of experimental flow data on the C Pile flow system.
