A Preliminary Investigation of the Performance of a Short Length Turbojet Combustor Using Vaporized Hydrocarbon Fuels

Description: "Two short turbojet combustors designed for use with vaporized hydrocarbon fuels were tested in a one-quarter annular duct. The experimental combustors consisted of many small "swirl-can" combustor elements manifolded together. This design approach allowed the secondary mixing zone to be considerably reduced over that of conventional combustors" (p. 1).

Standard laboratory hydraulic pressure drop characteristics of various solid and I&E fuel elements

Description: The purpose of this report is to present a set of standard pressure-drop curves for various fuel elements in process tubes of Hanford reactors. The flow and pressures within a process tube assembly under normal conditions are dependent to a large extent on the magnitude of the pressure drop across the fuel elements. The knowledge of this pressure drop is important in determination of existing thermal conditions within the process tubes and in predicting conditions for new fuel element designs o… more

Reconnaissance Geology of the Southern Muggins Mountains Yuma County, Arizona

Description: Summary and conclusion: More than 4000 feet of Lower Miocene lake sediments were deposited upon a gneissic basement rock, at least locally. The sediments have been gently folded into broad anticlines and synclines and have been cut by high-angle faults with displacements on the order of 100 feet. Both basaltic (?) and acid andesitic lavas have intruded the sediments. A Pleistocene (?) conglomerate unconformably overlies all older exposed rocks. The lake sediments were considered to overlie the … more

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Coal of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Description: Abstract: Uranium-bearing coal and carbonaceous shale .of the Rio Bonito formation of Pennsylvanian age have been found in the States of Sao Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The uranium oxide content of the samples collected in the State of Sao Paulo ranges from 0.001 percent to 0.082 percent. The samples collected in Santa Catarina averaged about 0.002 percent uranium oxide; those collected in Rio Grande do Sul, about 0.003 percent uranium oxide. Since the field and labora… more

Nuclear Thermodynamics of the Heaviest Elements. II

Description: The masses of the isotopes of the heaviest elements have been calculated from known decay data in the region, extended by means of decay energies calculated from closed decay-energy cycles and estimated from the systematics of alpha and beta decay energies. The absolute values of the masses are based on the mass-spectrometrically determined mass of Pb{sup 208} and a few measured neutron binding energies. The half-life systematics of alpha decay and spontaneous fission are also presented, and so… more

Plutonium Recycle in the Calder Hall Type Reactor

Description: The economiics and physics of four schemes of pIutonium recycle in the Calder Hall type reactor are considered. The four possible schemes are: (I) to blend the Pu produced In a run with fresh naturaI U for a subsequeut run; (2) to alloy the Pu with somie diIuent metal and fabricate the alloy Into high heat- transfer elements morc like MIR or PWR-sced type elements and"spike' a subsequent load of fresh natural U elemients with these Pu elemicnts; (3) to recycle half the spent U as well as the Pu… more

Power Transfer Functions of the EBWR Obtained Using a Sinusoidal Reactivity Driving Function

Description: A series of reactor frequency response measurements, relating flux or power level to a reactivity input function, were made to evaluate reactor stability for different values of power parameters. These parameters included: power level, steam pressure, and control rod position. The results were extrapolated to predict EBWR stability at higher operating powers. The experimental data may also be used to evaluate the thermodynamic and hydraulic constants. (authl

Temperature and Phase Effects on the Photolysis of Ethyl Iodide

Description: The elementary sieps in the photolysis of liquid ethyl iodide by light of wavelength 2537 A by determining initial rates of iodine production in the presence.of added iodine and hydrogen iodide were analyzed at 25 and --70 d C to get information on the activation energies of competing elementary reaciions. Investigations were also made of the effects of additives on the photolysis of glassy ethyl iodide at --180 d C, and evidence for the formation of trapped radicals during photolysis and radio… more

Effects of Irradiation of Some Uranium-Plutonium Alloys. Final Report-- Metallurgy Program 6.5.3 Work Completed: March 1955

Description: Irradiations were made on a number of uranium-plutonium alloy specimens made from both cast and extruded materials. The cast alloys included alloys of uranium with 3.7, 5.6, and 13.0 wt. % plutonium, and the extruded alloys included alloys of uranium with 9.5, 14.1, and 15.7 wt.% plutonium. One-half of the extruded specimens were given a heat treatment consisting of heating to 545 deg C and cooling to and holding at 500 deg C for one hour in an attempt to remove the preferred orientation that w… more

OPTIMIZATION OF FISSION FRAGMENT CATCHER FOIL EXPOSURE TIME

Description: The exposure-time for fission fragment catcher foils, used in nuclear reactor power mapping, was arbitrarily set at 20 minutes. Work performed to evaluate this choice and to attempt an optimization of the exposure time is reported. A true optimum was not found. Forty minute runs are suggested, however, as a practical optimization and as an alternative to the 20 minute runs in current usage. (auth)

DEVELOPMENT OF FERRITIC STAINLESS STEEL-UO$sub 2$ DISPERSION FUEL ELEMENTS

Description: A preliminary definition of a fabrication process for ferritic stainless steel-UO/sub 2/ fuel clad with Type 430 stainiess steel has been achieved. The procedure is an adaptation of an earlier process for preparing austenitic fuel elements, and consists of the cold-binder extrusion of a plastic powder dispersion which is fired in dry hydrogen, fitted with welded end caps, and electroplated with nickel. This core is inserted into a length of type 430 stainless steel cladding and the assembly is … more

Turret: A High Temperature Gas-Cycle Reactor Proposal

Description: A nitrogen-cooled graphite-moderated nuclear reactor experiment is proposed to drive a closed-cycle gas turbine power plant at 1300 deg F. The annular core of the reactor can be rotated inside the reflector to permit fuel loading and discharge while operating at full power. Small cylindrical fuel elements of graphite are solutionimpregnated with partially enriched uranium. The fuel is recycled by incineration of the elements, chemical fresh graphite tn a small batch process. The unclad, uncoate… more
