The Rolling of Gold Sheet for LAPRE 2 Pressure Liner

Description: From abstract: "This report discusses a special handling procedure devised to prevent contamination of high-purity gold while processing the metal from cast billet to final sheet. Gold of 99.99% purity was cast into rectangular billets and rolled into sheet whose final dimensions were 48 by 12-1/2 by 0.015 inch...As a final step, the sheet was annealed dead-soft in preparation for subsequent forming operations."

Stress Analysis of Bulk Effluent System Components in B and C Reactors

Description: This report presents a study of the stresses induced in the elbow and downcomer of the B and C Reactors (bulk effluent systems) by flow momentum and pressurization effects. It is desirable to ascertain the limitations on the bulk outlet temperatures and flow rates from a stress viewpoint; the elbow, top coverplate of downcomer, and top baffle plate being the most severely stressed components.

The Metabolism of 2-Caroboxy-4-Ketopentitol Diphosphate

Description: 2-Carboxy-4-ketopentitol is converted enzymatically by a cell-free preparation from spinach leaves into a substance undergoing acid-lactone interconversion. This substance has no phosphate or letone group and is probably a dicarboxylic, six-carbon sugar acid or the saccharic or saccharinic acid type. The significance of these findings with regard to the metabolic role of 2-carboxy-4-ketopentitol diphosphate is discussed.

Delayed Light Emission in Green Plant Meterials:Temperature-Dependence and Quantum Yield

Description: The discovery of the delayed light emission of plant materials by Strahler and Arnold in 1951 has stimulated a good deal of interest in this rather remarkable property. The emitted light has been shown to be due to an electronic transition between the first excited singlet state of chlorophyll and the ground state. At room temperature, a luminescence is observable from about 0.01 seconds to several minutes after excitation. Thus, the electronic transition cannot be rate-determining and the proc… more

Design of an Eddy-Current Brake for a Sodium-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactor

Description: Two eddy-current electromagnets to act as brskes were designed and installed in the sodium-cooled nuclear pcwer reactor SRE to throttle sodium flow throughout the reactor after shutdown in order to maintain a constant reactor temperature gradient. One brake was used on the primary piping system, the other on the secondary system. It was determined that the eddy-current brake should cause a dragging pressure of 0.3 psi at a flow rate of 12 gal/min. The flux density necessary to produce this pres… more

The rates of formation of the alpha and beta phases from the gamma phase were determined after gamma heat treating and allowing a sample to traasform isothermally in the alpha and beta ramges. Isothermal reaction curves were obtained from 160 C to -78C. The time-temperature-transfo… more

ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS OF CHROMIUM IN SOLUTION UNDER IN-PILE CONDITIONS

Description: A summary of the Cr data from the HRP in-pile corrosion program is examined in an effort to determine the Cr species present in such solutions under in-pile conddtions. Data from previous in-pile bomb and loop experiments pertinent to Cr behavior are tabulated, and correlations are offered to support a proposed model. It is pointed out that other interpretations of the same data are possible, and to obtain conclusive evidence as to the identity of Cr species in these solutions, especially desig… more

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RATE-CONTROLLING STEP OF THE MASS-TRANSFER PROCESS AND DISTRIBUTION OF CORROSION ATTACK

Description: Equations are derived which relate the distribution of corrosion attack or cold-zone deposits with the ratecontrolling step of a system which exhibits a thermalgradient mass transfer. Characteristic distributions of attack and deposition are illustrated for thermalgradient mass-transfer processes which are: (1) hotzone controlled, (2) cold-zone controlled, and (3) both hot-zone and cold- zone controlled and the limitations of the method are discussed. It is concluded that both the hot-zone and … more
