Long-term Student Loans: Selected Proposals for Repayment according to "Ability to Pay".

Description: This report describes the loan proposals of Messrs. Kingman Brewster, Jr., Charles Killingsworth, Edward Shapiro, and William Vickrey and the more recent proposals of the panel on Educational Innovation. These proposals would permit a student to draw an advance at least equal to the cost of his education without imposing a financial burden on the taxpayer or the federal government.

Tensile and stress rupture tests of S8DR Hastelloy-N heats: ORNL verification tests

Description: In connection with the ORR Hastelloy-N irradiation experiments, a limited number of tensile tests and uniaxial and biaxial stress-rupture tests on S8DR Hastelloy-N heats were conducted at AI to determine the effect of some of the ORNL test conditions. The tests performed at AI were in parallel to the ORNL control tests. The results showed that the effect of the test condition variations between the two tests were generally insignificant. The effect of the test conditions is discussed.

Fast Neutron Medical Research Facility-Dosimetry

Description: Dosimetry measurements and calibrations have been made at the University of Washington's Fast Neutron Medical Research Facility. The facility is designed to deliver localized neutron doses of a few rads to the testes of volunteer subjects at 2.5 MeV and 14 MeV. Dose measurements were based on the use of tissue equivalent ion chambers. Dosimetry and shielding measurements show that doses accurate to +-10% can be delivered to the volume of interest while maintaining safe dose levels outside the s… more

Fabrication, characterization, and thermal-property measurements of ThO/sub 2/--UO/sub 2/ fuel materials (LWBR Development Program)

Description: Thermophysical-property specimens of ThO/sub 2/, ThO/sub 2/-10 wt % UO/sub 2/, and ThO/sub 2/-20 wt % UO/sub 2/ were fabricated and characterized. Each material composition was represented by specimens with nominal densities of 95, 85, and 75 percent of theoretical. Thermal-diffusivity, linear-thermal-expansion, and specific-heat measurements were made at 300 to 1900/sup 0/C and used to determine thermal conductivity. Results of linear-thermal-expansion and specific-heat measurements were appro… more

Program review: Ground disposal of reactor effluent

Description: With the exception of N Reactor the plutonium production reactors operated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., use treated Columbia River water as coolant on a once through basis. Thus, radionuclides formed by neutron activation of Columbia River salts not removed in the water treatment process and water treatment additives are discharged to the river. Although the quantity and possible effects of the radionuclides released are well within nationally accepted limits, emphasis has been placed for s… more

A method to simulate interchannel flow through fuel element junctions during laboratory tests on a C-Reactor fuel model

Description: Interchannel flow through fuel element junctions can occur in production reactor fuel columns as a result of different pressure loss patterns in the two coolant subchannels. This interchannel flow is most significant during boiling conditions because, generally, the boiling length in each subchannel is different. These different boiling lengths result in divergent pressure loss characteristics in the subchannels and cause differential pressures to exist across the fuel element junctions. These … more

K-Reactor: Loss of coolant temperature study of the biological skin

Description: It is of interest to investigate the time following a complete loss of coolant incident when the pile would be exposed to the ambient air. This is of concern due to the fast propagation of graphite burn-up when brought in contact with air at or above the operating temperature of the graphite (1292{degree}F). One possible way conjectured in which the pile can be exposed to the surrounding environment is for the centering flange gasket (neoprene) or the bellows gas seal (silicone) to fail. This p… more
