Radioactive Deposits on the Haputa Ranch, Custer County, Colorado

Description: From abstract: An area 2,200 feet long and 400 to 1,300 feet wide within the Haputa ranch, Custer County, Colo., has been mapped at a scale 1:1,200. The rocks in this area consist of quartz-hornblende schist, granite gneiss, hornblende-andesine gneiss, gabbro and peridotite, microcline granite, and pegmatite, of pre-Cambrian age, and lamprophyre dikes of Tertiary age.

Criticality Calculations for Hydrogen Moderated Reactors From Microscopic Data

Description: From abstract: "The probability for a fission neutron to escape fast leakage from bare, hydrogen moderated reactors is calculated by a method utilizing only the microscopic cross section of the materials. These results can be employed to determine the effectiveness of other substances in preventing fast neutron leakage. These calculations are carried out for aluminum and iron."

Tentative design basis new 100 Area water plant embodying a close cooling water circuit

Description: The attached document includes a plot plan, flow diagram and delineation of basic assumptions upon which the report was developed. It summarizes the work which has been accomplished to date under RDA No. DC-6 in developing a recirculating water system to serve a new reactor. In order to proceed with the work under RDA No. DC-6 it has been necessary to make certain basic assumptions relative to the primary circuit requirements of RDA No. DC-3. These assumptions are explained in the report and ar… more

Design criteria - slug assembly and quench machine

Description: Mechanization of the 300 Area slug canning facilities is required to obtain uniform high quality product and to eliminate variables introduced by the human element. The work to be covered by this brochure will cover requirements for mechanization of only the operations occurring within the aluminum-silicon canning bath: can and cap preheating and wetting, canning assembly, and quenching operation. Briefly, this machine will be required to insert a prepared uranium slug into an aluminum can and … more

UO{sub 3} Plant cold shakedown run plan: No. C-1

Description: This report presents the cold shakedown run for the UO{sub 3} plan. One complete batch conversion will be made in each of the eighteen Calcining Pots using unirradiated uranium food solution. The objectives of this series of conversions are as follows. A mechanical test of the conversion units; a shakedown of the unloading, pulverizing and material handling equipment; a functional test of the Nitro Acid Absorber system operating at approximately 5 to 20% of its design capacity; the determinatio… more

Tritium Wastes

Description: This is a memorandum from the Hanford Operations Office about the possibility of tritium wastes escaping into the atmosphere. The waste which is disposed of in burial grounds eventually migrates to the Columbia River where it evaporates into the atmosphere. Also included in this memo is a statement of an error in the units of some data compiled for the monitoring of the tritium wastes. (MB)

Particle size of particulate matter in the dissolver off-gas stream

Description: This report discusses particle size measurements with a modified cascade impactor of the particulate matter in the dissolver off-gases during the period of maximum gas evolution, and during the air sparge of the dissolver solution after the completion of the dissolving cycle which indicate that the mass-size median of the particles was less than 0.1 micron in both cases. The measurements were made, unfortunately, at a time when the efficiency of the silver reactor upstream to the sampling point… more

Zirconium Pilot Plant Research and Development. Progress Report

Description: A summary of the work which was done on the small pilot plant during the week's operation shows the following: (1) High vaporization rates can be obtained from a vibrating flash plate. (2) Feeding powder to the plate at a constant and controllable rate presented some difficulty. This may be overcome by pumping between Victoprene seals, proper outgassing of the powder, using a smaller diameter screw, and sloping the feed screw upward to avoid translation of the powder by vibration. (3) Depositio… more

A velocity-correction formula for the calculation of transonic Mach number distributions over diamond-shaped airfoils

Description: Report presenting a velocity-correction formula for the purpose of calculating, from the known Mach number distribution for a diamond-shaped airfoil at a stream Mach number of 1.0, Mach number distributions on the same airfoil at speeds from a Mach number of about 0.8 to shock-attachment Mach number. An expression for the rate of change of local Mach number with stream Mach number is derived and an explicit equation for the drag coefficient as a function of stream Mach number and thickness rat… more

Effect of taper ratio on the low-speed rolling stability derivatives of swept and unswept wings of aspect ratio 2.61

Description: Results of tests conducted in the 6-foot-diameter rolling-flow test section of the Langley stability tunnel to determine the effects of varying taper ratio on the rolling and static stability characteristics of a swept wing are presented; results are also given for the effects of varying taper ratio on an unswept wing and for the effects of sweep on a tapered wing. All the models were of aspect ratio 2.61 and had NACA 0012 sections normal to the quarter-chord line. Taper ratios of 1.00, 0.50, a… more

Heat Capacity Lag in Gases

Description: Note presenting a review of the literature on the sonic studies of the problem of the excitation of molecular vibrations by collision. The theory on which the interpretation of almost all the sonic work has been based is discussed rather qualitatively in some detail. Results concerning techniques, principal experimental programs, and an interpretation of the results are provided.
