INVESTIGATION OF THERMAL-STRESS-FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF STAINLESS STEELS. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, April-June 1962

Description: Activities in a program to obtain data on thermal-stressfatigue in various stainless steels under reactor conditions are reported. Information concerning procurement of equipment and materials is given along results of initial testing. A specimen of 304 stainless steel was strain-rate tested at 100 to 900 deg C. The averaged result of this test was 0.0005 in./in.-sec. Tensile testing of standard ASTM 1/2-in.-dia stainless steel rods is underway. Data obtained so far in the program are compared … more

Radioisotopic heat sources. Revision 1

Description: For the radioisotopes with half-lives over a year, only eight appear to be obtainable in the foreseeable future. The fission products, strontium-90, cesium-137, and promethium-147, exist in wastes from reactor processing, diluted with enormous volumes of other elements and salts. Among those isotopes producible by irradiation of special target materials (cobalt-60, uranium-232, plutonium-238, and curium-244) cobalt-60, though easy to produce, requires a special design for the heat source genera… more

Activation of electrical machinery. Supplement 1. [Preliminary evaluation; not applicable to ground tests]

Description: The following analysis of the induced radioactivity in SNAP-50/SPUR electrical machinery having a high cobalt content is submitted. Induced radioactivity in the flight vehicle will contribute negligibly to allowable radiation levels. This is especially so due to the low neutron to gamma ratio of assumed radiation damage tolerances to semiconductors. A calculation to estimate the order of magnitude of induced radioactivity in cobalt is attached. The calculation is based on a best guess of the ne… more
