HASL Aerial Survey System

Description: Radioactive debris from nuclear detonations may fall out over an extensive area. A rapid evaluation of the distribution of such surface contamination cam be obtained by an aircraft mounted detector. The gamma field measured in the aircraft can be related to the intensity on the ground. The HASL Top Hat'' system measures the radiation intensity, in an aircraft, at any altitude up to 1500 feet. The data are continuously compensated to the reading that would be obtained if the measurements were ta… more

Some Effects of Aileron Deflection on the Static Lateral and Directional Aerodynamic Characteristics of Four Contemporary Airplane Models

Description: Memorandum presenting some effects of aileron deflection on the static lateral and directional aerodynamic characteristics of four airplane models which are representative of aircraft capable of flight at supersonic speeds. The results are presented for subsonic Mach numbers ranging from 0.60 to 0.90 and for supersonic Mach numbers ranging from 1.20 to 1.90. They are limited to the most pertinent aerodynamic effects of ailerons contributing to the lateral and directional characteristics of each… more

Nuclear Decay Schemes in the Actinium Family

Description: Abstract: "With magnetic alpha-particle and electron high-resolution spectrographs and scintillation gamma-ray spectrometers, a study was made of the nuclear decay of a number of members of the actinium family - U-235, Th-227, Ra-223, Em-219, Po-215, and Bi-211. Decay schemes are presented for each of these nuclides, together with such correlations as are possible with present theoretical nuclear models. The decay scheme of U-235 and a portion of that of Th-227 are interpretable in terms of the… more

Tests on Models of Nuclear Reactor Elements - Head Losses in Core Sub-Assemblies

Description: Losses have been determined for flow through models of various proposed core sub-assemblies as part of a study of the elements of a nuclear reactor. Six core sections and two? axial blanket sub-assemblies have been compared on the basis of drop in piezometric. head or pressure drop. The core sub-assemblies are composed of an entrance nozzle, a lower axial blanket section, the core section, an upper axial blanket section, and a short section for the handling lug. The four parts of the sub-assemb… more

The Effect of D20 on Survival of Mice with Ascites Tumor

Description: The effect of deuterium oxide (D{sub 2}O) on the survival of mice inoculated with Ehrlich's mouse ascites tumor has been studied. Mice maintained on 25% and 30% D{sub 2}O drinking water showed an improved survival time of about 6 days whereas 40% D{sub 2}O drinking water had no effect on survival time. The effect is interpreted in terms of inhibition of tumor cell division and systemic toxicity.

Single-Fluid Two-Region Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor Power Plant Conceptual Design and Feasibility Study. Final Report

Description: The feasibility of a 150 Mwe aqueous homogeneous nuclear power plant was investigated by a joint study team of the Nuclear Power Group and The Babcock & Wilcox Company. In this concept, the reactor is a single-fluid two-region design in which the fuel solution circulates through the thoria pellet blanket as the coolant. Componeats and plant arrangement were designed to provide maximum overhead accessibility for maintenance. All components in contact with reactor fuel at high pressure are themse… more

Solution Corrosion Group Quarterly Report for the Period Ending July 31, 1957

Description: The second All-Ti loop, 1OOA loop H, was placed in operation for more than 400 hr with UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solution at 250 deg C and -- 1000 psi. A fourth test of the mockup of the Zircaloy-2--stainless steel transition joint used in the HRT reactor vessel was completed. The joint and bellows functioned properly and were leaktight. The series of long-term runs at 200, 250, and 300 deg C with solution proposed for use in the HRT was concluded. Stainless steel and Ti stress specimens exposed durin… more
