Neutron Production by High-Energy Particles

Description: Abstract: "From neutron-yield measurements made with a MnSO4 detecting solution, the average number of neutrons produced per inelastic event is determined for a series of elements from lithium to uranium for 340-Mev protons, 190-and 315-Mev deuterons, 490-Mev He3 ions, and 90- and 160-Mev neutrons. The results are analyzed in an attempt to understand the total yield measurements for thick targets and to explain the variation of yield with the atomic number of the target."

Use of Controlled Photosynthesis for Maintenance of Gaseous Environment

Description: Abstract: "The problem of maintaining livable oxygen and carbon dioxide pressures in a closed space in which men must live leads to consideration of the possible use of the photosynthesis of green algae. A calculation based on the known respiratory rate of man and the photosynthetic rates of Chlorella indicates that it would be feasible to use algae for this purpose."

Polarization of Bremsstrahlung

Description: Abstract: Numerical information necessary to an experimental study of the polarization of bremsstrahlung is presented. One may conclude that it is possible to produce significantly polarized γ-ray beams with existing electron accelerators. These beams will provide a new tool for the study of photonuclear reactions over a wide range of energy.

Fabrication and testing history prototypes and production units

Description: From April, 1951 to Aug, 1954, New York Shipbuilding Corp. carried out a subcontract with E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company that was without parallel in the shipyard`s history. The work, designated the NYX Project for reasons of security, was vital to the operations of the Savannah River Plant, Aiken, S.C., which was then being designed and constructed by du Pont for the Atomic Energy Commission. It consisted of three broad parts: developmental and experimental work; fabrication and testing of … more

Achievements in HAPO radiation monitoring, 1944--1954

Description: At HAPO the protection of employees from nuclear radiations has paralleled or preceded the emphasis on atomic products production. The production of atomic products on the scale for which HAPO was designed presented voluminous problems in employee education, radiation detection, shielding, and indeed, fundamental research to determine working limits for the various types of radiation exposure which would necessarily be encountered, and to determine working limits for the deposition of radioacti… more

Plutonium metal turnings fire

Description: On July 27, 1954, 965 grams of plutonium alloy contained in three standard quart size ice cream cartons were being removed from the process line by two process operators using the plastic bag technique. Shortly after the plastic bag scaler had been energized a brown spot appeared on the plastic bag. The glowing turnings burned through the containers and plastic bag and continued to burn until completely oxidized. Personnel contamination was minor and readily removed. The contamination was confi… more

The Irradiation of a Novel Fuel Element Used for U-233 Production

Description: A new slug for U-233 production consisting of a solid thorium core externally jacketed by a thin Oralloy foil is described. Advantages of this system are pointed out. The bulk of this report concerns itself with the long-term changes of reactor parameters as the foil slug is irradiated at constant specific power (kilowatts per foot). Isotope yield curves are also presented.

Interim report, Production Test 105-522-E -- Examination of pile process tubes removed from 100-B, C, and D piles

Description: The examinations of seven process tubes are covered in this report. Tubas reported on are 3362-B and 0561-C. these were removed under PT-105-522-P. ``Routine Examination of Process Tubes``. Tubes 2572-C and2679-C were operating under PT-105-519-E. ``Raising Permissible Outlet Water Temperatures of Certain Tubes at C Pile``. In tube 2679-Z a rupture occurred during its operating period. These tubes (2572-C and 2679-C) were smaller diameter process tubes such as used in B, D, F, DR, and H Piles. … more

Examination of Copper-Uranium Occurrences in the Willaha Area, Coconino County, Arizona

Description: Abstract: A study, consisting of field and laboratory work, was undertaken in an endeavor to establish possible structural mineralization controls associated with the copper-uranium occurrences in the Willaha area, Coconino County, Arizona. Uranium mineralization, apparent at present, is localized along small fissures and vugs and in certain beds and lenses of the middle member of the Kaibab formation(Permian). It is associated with copper and iron oxide staining. Though no definite ore control… more

A Sodium Cooled, Graphite Moderated, Low Enrichment Uranium Reactor for the Production of Useful Power

Description: "A design study is presented for a sodium cooked, graphite moderated power reactor utilizing low enrichment uranium fuel. The design is characterized by dependence on existing technology and the use of standard, or nearly standard, components. The reactor has a nominal rating of 167 thermal megawatts, and a plant comprising three such reactors for a total output of 500 thermal megawatts is described. Sodium in a secondary, non-radioactive, circulation system carries the heat to a steam genera… more

Sodium Graphite Reactor, Quarterly Progress Report, March-June 1954

Description: "The Atomic energy Commission has undertaken a development program to provide the technology needed for the evaluation and economic design of nuclear power plants. This program is to be carried out during the next five years at several national laboratories and industrial organizations. The Sodium Graphite Reactor (the SGR) is one of those to be investigated and experimentally tested as part of this 5-year effort. The program on the SGR is intended to expand our area of information coverin… more

MARK A CONTROL ACTUATOR SHAFT FREEZE-SEAL

Description: Investigations were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of Na sheared in a narrow annulus at controlled temperature gradients and shear velocities. The test fixture consisted of a 1 in. diameter stainless-steel shaft centered in a 1.099 in. ID Type-304 stainless-steel tube. Sodium shear values were found to be dependent upon the temperature and shear velocity at a given test condiiion. Sodium shear values obtained were found to be consistent, wherever wetting of components had been… more
