Test of fixed-pipe distribution system for met-L-X dry powder fire extinguishers at EBR-II

Description: The Met-L-X storage unit and fixed-pipe system performed adequately, but the distribution provided by the nozzles as located is not satisfactory. Relocation of the nozzles does not appear to offer much promise for improvement because the number of nozzles required would necessitate a piping array nearly impossible to design or install around existing equipment. It would leave little room for equipment to be protected in a new installation. The tests reported did not address the question of whet… more

Pressure-volume release path model for SOC and TNSOR. [Shock wave propagation through rocks]

Description: In most numerical codes which simulate shock wave propagation through rocks the stresses which drive the grid are separated into a mean stress and deviatory components. The mean stress (P = -/sup 1///sub 3/ t/sub ii/) is measured as a function of volume on small samples in the laboratory which is normally called the hydrostat. Repeating these measurements on many samples, unloading each sample from a different mean stress, will produce a single loading pressure-volume curve and a series of unlo… more

User's manual for the reactor burnup system, REBUS. [LMFBR]

Description: A user's manual for the REBUS System (REactor BUrnup System) is presented. Its primary purpose is to provide sufficient information about the REBUS capability to the user to ensure its efficient utilization. The current REBUS System either solves for the infinite time (equilibrium) operating conditions of a recycle system under fixed conditions, or solves for operating conditions during a single time step (non-equilibrium). The capability of studying various in-reactor fuel management and ex-re… more

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF THE HANFORD WINDSTORMS OF JANUARY 11, 1972 AND JANUARY 21, 1972

Description: The windstorm of January 11 caused a minor amount of damage to the Hanford Reservation and Hanford vicinity. Damage sustained to Hanford Reservation structures (roofing, flashing, fences, windows) was approximately $20,000. One building did receive structural damage to roof members. Evidence that wind pressures did not reach 30 lb/ft{sup 2} during the January 11 windstorm was provided in the fact that specially designed exterior wall panels did not fail. These panels were designed and carefully… more

Energy resources of the United States

Description: Estimates are made of United States resources of coal, petroleum liquids, natural gas, uranium, geothermal energy, and oil from oil shale. Accuracy of the estimates probably ranges from 20 to 50 percent for identified-recoverable resources to about an order of magnitude for undiscovered-submarginal resources. The total cost resource base in the United States is estimated to be about 3,200 billion tons, of which 200 to 390 billion tons can be considered in the category identified and recoverable… more

Section IV Replicate Culture Methods - Single "Subculture" in Situ Using Glass Beads

Description: In this laboratory we have studied the macromolecular changes accompanying release of contact inhibition by using a method by means of which a large fraction of cells in a confluent monolayer are released from contact inhibition of growth and division. This is accomplished without chemical treatment of the cells, without change of medium and in such a way that most cells are provided with free growth area. The procedure involves growing the cells to confluence on surfaces uniformly covered with… more

SPEAKEASY-3: the SPEAKEASY system

Description: SPEAKEASY has continued to evolve and grow in power. The current production versions, referred to as SPEAKEASY-3, contain many features that have not been formally documented. The needed documentation for the most important of these features is provided in this report. Individual new words that are now available are explained and illustrated in accompanying sample runs. Because of the growing use of the language in interactive situations, emphasis is placed on explaining facilities oriented to … more

Position-sensitive proportional-counter system for use in the Enge split-pole spectrograph

Description: A variety of position-sensitive single-wire proportional counters with lengths up to 90 cm have been built and tested in the focal plane of the Enge split-pole spectrographs at the Argonne tandem accelerator and cyclotron. This report, which describes the counters, the associated electronics, and the data-handling procedures, is intended as an operating manual for general use of the system. Under ideal experimental conditions, the spatial resolution of the counters is about 1 to 1.5 mm (FWHM), … more

High-Voltage Thermionic Reactor Using Double-Sheath Fuel Elements, 3rd Interational Electrical Power Generation

Description: A novel design concept for a "flashlight-type" in-core thermionic reactor is described. This concept, called the "double-sheath" design in contrast to the previously considered "wet-sheath" and "dry-sheath" concepts, permits the build-up of high reactor output voltages, without the danger of cesium breakdown and shorts-to-ground. In addition to a description of the design and its functional components, a brief discussion of suggested fuel element fabrication and reactor assembly techniques is p… more

Electronic Temperature-Flattening of Thermionic Reactors

Description: A method for electronically temperature-flattening a "flashlight-type" thermionic reactor with both axial and radial heat generation nonuniformities is described. The method, which makes use of compensating electron cooling variation while satisfying the voltage- and current-matching constraints on the in-core series-parallel diode network, results in substantially uniform emitter temperatures throughout the reactor. Novel analytical techniques for temperature-flattening a nonuniform reactor ar… more

A Study of Catalytic Oxidation and Oxide Adsorption for the Removal of Tritium from Air

Description: An apparatus and procedure were developed for studying the containment of tritium using catalytic conversion to the oxide followed by oxide adsorption. Data were obtained on the catalytic oxidation of elemental tritium and tritiated volatile hydrocarbons from pump oils between 23 and 538 degrees C. Oxidation efficiencies as high as 99.99997% (decontamination factor = 3.3 million) were obtained for total tritium levels of 1 ppm and a tritiated hydrocarbon level of approximately 0.2 ppb. In addit… more
