In-vessel transfer machine seal thermal analysis

Description: An analysis of the grapple drive stem temperature during operation of the IVTM (In-Vessel Transfer Machine) indicates that the maximum stem wall temperature at the seals will be 270/sup 0/F when the system is at dynamic thermal equilibrium. If the transfer operation is initiated with the grapple drive stem initially at thermal equilibrium in the lowered position, a pre-cooling step will be required if the maximum temperature of the grapple drive stem wall at the seals is to be limited to 300/su… more

Power level history of single-pass Richland reactors

Description: This report provides a history of the power level at which single pass reactors at the Hanford facility operated over the period Jan 1945 to Jan 1973. The reactors listed are B, C, D, DR, F, H, KE, KW, and N. A set of notes attached explain how power levels were changed, often above original nameplate power ratings, by design or regulatory changes.

Geothermal gas sampling methods

Description: A method for geothermal gas collection for chemical and isotopic gas analysis is described. The CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S are absorbed in a NaOH solution and the residual gas collected in a bottle. The method can be used for sampling gases from hot springs, fumaroles, steam wells, hot water wells, etc. (WHK)

Baseline gas turbine development program. First quarterly progress report, January 31, 1973

Description: Progress is reported for a program to demonstrate by 1976 an experimental gas turbine-powered automobile which meets the 1976 Federal Emission Standards and which is competitive in fuel economy, performance, reliability, and potential manufacturing cost with the conventional piston engine-powered, standard size American automobile. Procurement and assembly of parts for seven engines plus spares is basically on schedule, although some areas are requiring intensive follow-up. A partial engine (in… more

Avian populations at the ALE reservation

Description: Studies were conducted on species composition, population densities, and standing crop biomass of small songbirds in mixed palouse-shrubsteppe habitats of the Arid Lands Ecology (ALE) reservation. Results of field studies conducted during late 1972 and 1973 are presented, as well as results of 1972 IBP population studies. An appendix is included to show territory mappings from which plot-based population density estimates were derived. (HLW)

Temperature gradients in Harney County, Oregon

Description: As part of a brief reconnaissance of southeastern Oregon, temperatures were measured in five wells in the Harney Basin during May of 1972. The results are presented together with a summary of temperature gradients previously published by Bowen (1972) and one well measured by C. E. Van Ostrand. The location of the wells and the average temperature gradient in /sup 0/C/km and the temperature profiles measured by the U.S. Geological Survey are presented graphically. The wells vary in depth up to 4… more

Experimental techniques for studying grain boundary chemistry

Description: From international summer school on grain boundaries; Montreal, Canada (2 Jul 1973). A review of the techniques used to study the chemistry of near grain boundary regions is given. The traditional techniques of radiography, chemical etching, and microprobe are discussed and their limitations are pointed out. New techniques are presented such as ion scattering spectrometry, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, ion backscattering spectrometry, and Auger electron spectroscopy. The success … more

Hard superconducting materials. Final report

Description: During the period covered by this program (1962-1971). extensive studies of the material parameters and mechanisms controlling critical currents, flux creep and inreversiblity in hand superconducting materials were carried out. Quantitative theories of the pinning and creep processes were developed and tested extensively using equipment and methods developed locally. The role of the superconducting surface sheath was explored in detail and somewhat similar phenomena were found to operate there.… more
