Analysis of nuclear stimulation of Reservoir A, U. S. S. R

Description: Following stimulation by three nuclear explosives, the field rate of production of ''Reservoir A'', U.S.S.R., increased very significantly. The potential profitability of projects such as Reservoir A and some of the possible causes for the increased rate of production are reviewed.

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF THE HANFORD WINDSTORMS OF JANUARY 11, 1972 AND JANUARY 21, 1972

Description: The windstorm of January 11 caused a minor amount of damage to the Hanford Reservation and Hanford vicinity. Damage sustained to Hanford Reservation structures (roofing, flashing, fences, windows) was approximately $20,000. One building did receive structural damage to roof members. Evidence that wind pressures did not reach 30 lb/ft{sup 2} during the January 11 windstorm was provided in the fact that specially designed exterior wall panels did not fail. These panels were designed and carefully… more

High-Voltage Thermionic Reactor Using Double-Sheath Fuel Elements, 3rd Interational Electrical Power Generation

Description: A novel design concept for a "flashlight-type" in-core thermionic reactor is described. This concept, called the "double-sheath" design in contrast to the previously considered "wet-sheath" and "dry-sheath" concepts, permits the build-up of high reactor output voltages, without the danger of cesium breakdown and shorts-to-ground. In addition to a description of the design and its functional components, a brief discussion of suggested fuel element fabrication and reactor assembly techniques is p… more

Electronic Temperature-Flattening of Thermionic Reactors

Description: A method for electronically temperature-flattening a "flashlight-type" thermionic reactor with both axial and radial heat generation nonuniformities is described. The method, which makes use of compensating electron cooling variation while satisfying the voltage- and current-matching constraints on the in-core series-parallel diode network, results in substantially uniform emitter temperatures throughout the reactor. Novel analytical techniques for temperature-flattening a nonuniform reactor ar… more

Proposal for an Experiment at the National Accelerator Laboratory Nuclear Levels as Analyzers of High Energy Interactions

Description: We propose to study diffractive phenomena caused by 100 BeV pions, using a new technique, which consists in associating with the high energy interaction, the detection of photons resulting from the de-excitation of nuclear levels. Knowledge of the quantum numbers both for the ground state and the nuclear levels of the nuclei used, adds information as to the type of interaction. In particular, the use of the 4.4 MeV level of Carbon guarantees that the exchange quantum has isotopic spin 0. In add… more

K+ p Multiparticle Production in the 30" NAL Hybrid Chamber at the Highest Possible Energy

Description: One of the unique features of NAL that cannot be duplicated elsewhere (i.e. at CERN-ISR) is the ability to make high energy neutrino beams and high energy meson beams, It appears that meson-proton interactions may have given us some insight into hadron structure because the asymmetry (2 quarks on 3) which one observes in them cannot be seen in proton-proton (3 quarks on 3) interactions. Although the asymmetry can be observed in {pi} p collisions, it is likely that more can be learned if the rol… more

A Study of the Average Multiplicity and Multiplicity Distributions in Hadron-Nucleus Collisions at High Energies

Description: In a simple counter experiment requiring about 40 hours of data taking time we propose to study the detailed shape of the multiplicity distribution for larger values of n and the average charged particle multiplicity in hadron-nucleus collisions at 100 and 200 Gev. The results of the experiment should be a valuable input for ccmparison with theoretical models, in particular they should provide a sensitive test ot whether multipartlcle production in hadron-nucleon collisions proceeds through a o… more

A Study of Antineutrino Interactions in the NAL 15-FT Bubble Chamber, Filled wit Hydrogen and Neon

Description: A study of antineutrino interactions in the 15-ft bubble chamber filled with a neon-hydrogen mixture is proposed. This mixture provides good detection efficiency for a neutral component and lepton identification. We request a total flux of {approx} 10{sup 19} interacting protons at the highest available energy for the proposed program. Our program includes the measurement of total cross sections of antineutrino interactions, inclusive and exclusive reactions, which can be described by either ch… more

Joint plant instrumentation program and integrated safeguards experiment. Final report

Description: Mixed (uranium-plutonium) oxide standards were prepared and utilized to qualify available nondestructive assay equipment (gamma spectrometers, neutron counters, and calorimeters). Equipment was evaluated during normal operation in a plutonium facility. Measured material balances were calculated for two separate fabrication campaigns. Plutonium material unaccounted for values of less than 0.5% based on the total throughput was obtained in the final balance. A special test was undertaken to compa… more

Zirconium hydride reactor control reflector systems: summary report

Description: The beryllium reflector control system development for SNAP reactors is documented, from the initial SNAP 10A System through the current 5-kW(e) Thermoelectric System. Described are the various reflector concepts used in these systems for shadowshielded and 4 pi -shielded nuclear systems. The development of the key components, such as the actuators, bearings, and drive mechanisms for these systems, is also traced from the SNAP 10A concept through to the current system. Developmental test result… more

Detection limits for radioisotopic counting techniques

Description: The method of defining detection limits which has been adopted by the 222-S Analytical Laboratory counting room is described. The system for reporting limits defines two levels of detection limits: the critical level (L/sub c/) which must be exceeded before a sample can be said to contain any material above the background level and a detection limit (L/sub D/) at which we can be 95% sure that we will detect material. The common method of using twice the standard deviation of the background as a… more

Gas cooled fast reactor

Description: Although most of the development work on fast breeder reactors has been devoted to the use of liquid metal cooling, interest has been expressed for a number of years in alternative breeder concepts using other coolants. One of a number of concepts in which interest has been retained is the Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor (GCFR). As presently envisioned, it would operate on the uranium-plutonium mixed oxide fuel cycle, similar to that used in the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR), and would use … more
