Response of Dual-Purpose Reinforced-Concrete Mass Shelter

Description: BS>A reinforced-concrete dual-purpose underground parking garage and personnel sheiter designed for a long-duration incident pressure of 40 psi was tested. The sheiter was exposed to shot Priscilla, an approximately 37-kt 700-ft balloon burst (June 24, 1957), at a ground range of 1600 ft (predicted 35-psi peak incident-pressure level). The recorded peak incident pressure at the shelter was approximately 39 psi. Postshot soil borings were made to obtain undisturbed samples for determining soil c… more

STEAM-COOLED POWER REACTOR EVALUATION, STEAM-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR

Description: Conceptual design and economic studies of a steamcooled fast breeder reactor that can also be used as a source of power are presented. Two reactor plant sizes were considered: a 300-Mw(e) central power station plant and a 40 Mw(e) plant. It was concluded that attractive economics and good breeding characteristics breeding ratios from 1.27 to 1.42) can be achieved in steam- cooled PuO/sub 2/UO/sub 2/ fueled fast reactors. Low capital costs can be obtained by a compact reactor core and the absenc… more

Flexible Monte Carlo Programs FMC-N and FMC-G

Description: Flexible Monte Carlo programs FMC-N and FMC-G (GE-ANPD Programs 516 and 515) are digital computer programs which apply Monte Carlo methods to simulate neutron and gamma ray life histories, respectively, in a source-shield configuration. The programs were designed for flexlbility in the geometrical, material, nuclear, and source descriptions of source-shield configurations and variance reduction techniques. The programs were also designed to optimize the use of fast memory and to provide complet… more

FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. Final Report

Description: >The basic fuel element consisted of a uniform dispersion of fuel in a 1 1/2 inch diameter graphite sphere. Ceramic coatings for the retention of fission products were studied. It was found-that molecularly deposited'' ceramics such as alumina, siliconized silicon carbide, and pyrolytic carbon were excellent barriers to fission product leakage. The most advantageous location for ceramic coatings was found to be on the individual fuel particles, where the coating was subject to smaller forces an… more

Nuclear Analysis of Various Spert-III Critical Experiments

Description: Editor please delete 26456.<><DSN>16:026457<ABS>Work done in the P122 reactor control actuator area is summarized. Actuators were required to radially position the absorber blades in the core of the reactor. The P122C1 was a subsonic power plant and temperatures were low enough to permit the use of hydraulics in the actuator area. The program was reoriented and the power plant designated P122C3 which was a supersonic version of the folded flow power plant. The ambient temperature at maximum pow… more

BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT DEC. 1960 THROUGH FEB.1961

Description: The current interest in the subject of fiber optics has brought about, among its many achievements, the development of a new technique for measuring refractive index. An instrument designed as a light-pipe refractometer or rod photorefractometer has been described by Kapany and Pike. these authors have presented both a theoretical study of the phenomenon and experimental results arising from a prototype apparatus. The range of applicability of such a device is limited, however, by the availabil… more

Preliminary Studies of Scavenging Systems Related to Radioactive Fallout : Summary Report, May 1, 1960 to March 31, 1961

Description: Abstract: "Experimental investigation of aerosol particle capture by evaporating and condensing water drops has shown that capture is a function of the rate of water drop growth and aerosol particle diameter. Capture was found to be proportional to the rate of water vapor condensation and inversely proportional to aerosol particle diameter. The influence of water vapor gradient and particle size on aerosol particle capture during evaporation is insignificant. The experimental results are explai… more

Production test IP-310-A-FP, determination of the dimensional stability of uranium fuel cores classified by the fuel core tester (UT-2)

Description: Since it is now possible to obtain a heat-treated U core that is randomly oriented and has a finer average grain size, it is necessary to irradiate measured, transformed fuel cores over the full range of grain sizes, in order to compare relative dimensional stabilities. An improved ultrasonic tester, Fuel Core Tester-UT-2, is used to test all fuel cores.

Process Water Flow Tests, C Reactor

Description: The power calculator at C Reactor and the process pump flowmeters at 190-C use orifice plates as primary sensing elements. These orifices were designed for considerably less flow and at the present higher flows, the reactor riser pressure is appreciably reduced as the result of the inefficiency of the orifices. Only a portion of the differential pressure across an orifice is recovered. The amount is dependent upon the ratio of the orifice diameter to pipe diameter. The permanent loss across the… more

In-tank solidification of intermediate-activity wastes

Description: Solidification of intermediate-activity wastes is a major goal of the CPD Waste Management Program. Plans are to reduce the wastes, by evaporation, to salt cakes in existing tanks, thereby insuring safe, long-term storage of contained fission products regardless.of tank integrity. Initiation of these plans at an early date is necessary to offset the expected increase in tank failures and to provide space for future wastes. Major decisions of the program relate to selection of the evaporative me… more

Processing data for NIE and NIN KER Loop charges (PT 377)

Description: The following data represents processing conditions used in fabricating prototypic (except for supports) natural and enriched NPR inner fuel elements for Production Test 377. The prototypic NPR inner fuel elements were inserted into zircaloy-sleeves prior to charging. In this way it was possible to simulate, in the KER loops, the conditions under which NPR fuel elements would be subjected under irradiation. The purpose in documenting the data is to provide a permanent record of processing condi… more

Proposal for charging GEH-10-43 NINI interim measurement test in the ETR

Description: The objective of this test is to irradiate an NPR fuel element inner tube in the ETR 3 {times} 3 Loop. the NPR fuel element is a tube in tube type. Both tubes are Zircaloy-2 clad uranium metal. The inner tube is identified by the Hanford designation NINI. In GEH-10-43 we plan to measure an NINI tube after each cycle for four cycles. An NPR inner tube with slightly larger diameter has been run in the ETR Hanford 3 {times} 3 Loop. Two NINI elements are now running in the 3 {times} 3 Loop.
