The Effect of Gaps on Pile Reactivity

Description: From abstract: "The variation of the reactivity of a pile as a function of width of a transverse gap is obtained. The method involves first finding the boundary condition satisfied by the flux at the gap face. This, in principle, provides enough information for a complete solution of the pile equations. A method for calculating the reactivity change is presented. The calculated reactivity is compared with experiment and a brief discussion of the validity of the approximations is given."

A Solvent Extraction Method for Neptunium (237) Analysis

Description: Technical report describing a rapid and quantitative radiochemical method for the analysis of neptunium (237). This method is based on the extraction of neptunium (IV) with thenoyl-trifluoracetone in xylene. Neptunium (237) is separated free from other alpha emitters and from non-radioactive interferences, and the method may be readily adapted to remote control. [From Abstract]

Shielding Reactor Corrosion Studies

Description: Technical report outlining the investigation of corrosion on MTR type fuel elements for the Shielding Reactor in filtered water. Report includes two basic types of protection: element pretreatment by either anodizing or alodizing, and solution control using nitric acid to maintain a pH of 5.5 to 6.5 or the addition of 60 ppm sodium chromate as an inhibitor.

Analysis of Bulk Shielding Facility Neutron Dosimeter Data

Description: Technical report calculating "effective removal cross sections" for Pb, Fe and O from measurements of fast neutron does in the water surrounding the BSF reactor. The values for Pb and Fe agree quite well with those previously determined from Lid tank data, whereas that for O is somewhat lower. [From Abstract]

Homogenous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report For Period Ending April 30, 1955

Description: Part I. Experimental Reactors: The effect of prompt-neutron lifetime upon reactor safety was investigated for the HRT. It was found that for a given pressure rise the allowable rate of reactivity addition was relatively insensitive to the average prompt-neutron lifetime, although the rate de creased somewhat with decreasing lifetime for the higher pressure rises. With only source neutrons present and the reactor initially subcritical, the allowable rate was practically independent of the initia… more

Recent Developments in DC Polarography

Description: This paper summarized the work at ORNL in controlled-potential dc polarography since mid 1959 and states conclusion and viewpoints that have been reached in the course of this work. The following topics are discussed: (1) Potentiostatic Compensation for Polarographic Cell Resistance; (2) Time-Derivative DC Polarography; (3) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S.N); (4) Resolution; and (5) DC Polarography in Non Aqueous Solvents and, Particularly, in Solvent Extracts.

Some Applications of the Distorted Wave Approximation for Direct Nuclear Reactions

Description: The subject which I will discuss is the distorted - waves theory of direct reactions and its application to the study of nuclei. I shall mainly be concerned with a study of the reaction theory, its range of validity, and its ability to give quantitative information about nuclear structure.

Photochemistry of Nucleic Acids, and its Biological Implications

Description: The series of papers that we are about to discuss is primarily concerned, not as the first part of the session title indicates, with photochemistry of nucleic acids, but, as the second part indicates, with the biological implications of the photochemistry. We know that ultraviolet acts on nucleic acids in cells, and we know a good deal about the photochemistry of this interaction in vitro. The question we ask here is, which test tube reactions are of importance to the survival of the cell?
