Development of a thermionic-reactor space-power system. Final summary report

Description: Initial experimental work led to the award of the first AEC thermionic contract on May 1, 1962, for the development of fission heated thermionic cells with an operating life of 10,000 hours or more. Two types of converters were fabricated: (1) electrically heated, and (2) fission heated where the fuel was either uranium carbide or uranium oxide. Competition between GGA and GE was climaxed on July 1, 1970 by the award to GGA of a contract to develop an in-core thermionic reactor. This report is … more

HIGH-INTENSITY EFFECTS IN THE LONGITUDINAL MOTION OF STORED PARTICLE BEAMS

Description: A brief review is given of the various self-field phenomena associated with the longitudinal motion of particles in storage rings. Although there are some high-intensity phenomena for which the coupling of longitudinal and transverse motion is essential, such as, for example, the headtail effect; the great majority of high-intensity phenomena primarily involve either longitudinal or transverse degrees of freedom. In this review, we restrict our attention to phenomena which are essentially longi… more

ELECTRON AVALANCHE IN LIQUID XENON

Description: We present detailed measurements of the electron avalanche process in liquid Xenon. The measurements were made by using liquid-Xe-filled proportional chambers with anode diameters of 2.9, 3.5, and 5.0 {approx} to detect 279-keV y rays and measure the photopeak pulse height as a function of applied voltage. The use of uniform pulses of electrons enabled us to discriminate against secondary Townsend processes. We present a table of the first Townsend coefficient a as a function of electric field … more

A proposal to study hard hadron - hadron collisions

Description: We propose a novel technique to study hadron-hadron collisions in which a significant fraction of the available energy is carried off in directions transverse to the beam. The technique is independent of the details of the final state so is ideally suited to searching for the jet-like particle clusters predicted by the parton model. The detector consists of a small calorimeter and several planes of 1 meter square proportional chambers.

HIGH-RESOLUTION LIQUID-FILLED MULTI-WIRE CHAMBERS FOR USE INHIGH-ENERGY BEAMS

Description: The authors describe experiments with liquid-xenon-filled wire chambers operating in the proportional mode and the difficulty of achieving useful gain when the anode wires have a spacing < 1 mm. As a result, they have largely turned our attention to chambers with closely spaced wires operated in the ionization mode. They have previously demonstrated a spatial resolution of 15 {micro} rms in this mode, using a 5-wire chamber and a collimated alpha source. They describe the construction of two… more

LIQUID XENON FILLED WIRE CHAMBERS FOR MEDICAL IMAGINGAPPLICATIONS

Description: In 1968, Luis Alvarez suggested that a high-resolution multiwire particle detector could be developed using a thin layer of liquified noble gas as the detection medium. After key problems in chamber construction, purification, and readout had been solved, a spatial resolution of 15 {micro} rms was demonstrated. Work is in progress to build high-resolution chambers and measure their properties for particle physics experiments at high-energy accelerators. The liquid xenon multiwire chamber also h… more

The Marysville, Montana, Geothermal Project: Environmental Analysis of the Deep Geothermal Research Well

Description: The objective of this research project is to investigate a geothermal anomaly of high heat flow discovered in 1969 in central Montana, and to determine how this natural resource might be developed as a source of useful energy. Under Phase I, the natural resource will be explored, drilled, and modeled at an estimated cost of $2,588,935 over a 3-year period. Phase II, depending upon the nature of the heat source, will be developing the resource under a cooperative effort of government and private… more

ELECTRONIC PROCESSES IN LIQUID XENON

Description: Several basic errors appeared in an article recently published by Prunier et al. entitled, 'Some Properties of Xenon Liquid-Filled Nuclear Detectors'. The article describes an experiment to measure electronic phenomena in liquid xenon using single wire cylindrical chambers. The author here describes some errors made in their interpretation of their experimental observations.

In-vessel transfer machine seal thermal analysis

Description: An analysis of the grapple drive stem temperature during operation of the IVTM (In-Vessel Transfer Machine) indicates that the maximum stem wall temperature at the seals will be 270/sup 0/F when the system is at dynamic thermal equilibrium. If the transfer operation is initiated with the grapple drive stem initially at thermal equilibrium in the lowered position, a pre-cooling step will be required if the maximum temperature of the grapple drive stem wall at the seals is to be limited to 300/su… more

Loft Heater Pin Thermocouple Attachment Testing. Heater Rod Blowdown Tests

Description: Blowdown/reflood testing of two heater rods containing laser welded thermocouple attachments is described. Two series of tests were conducted, one of three and another of nine blowdowns. Test parameters were controlled such that the blowdown/reflood cycles duplicated those predicted for the LOFT reactor. Thermocouple performance throughout the test series was very good in that the only failures observed were caused by bowing of the heater rod. Data from all tests are included as are photographs… more

Irradiation of three T-111 clad uranium nitride fuel pins for 8070 hours at 990/sup 0/C (1815/sup 0/F)

Description: The design and successful operation of three tantalum alloy (Ta-8W-2Hf) clad uranium mononitride (UN) fuel pins irradiated for 8070 h at 990/sup 0/C (1815/sup 0/F) is described. Two pin diameters having measured burnups of 0.47 and 0.90 uranium atom percent were tested. No clad failures or swelling was detected; however, postirradiation clad samples tested failed with 1 percent strain. The fuel density decrease was 2 percent, and the fission gas release was less than 0.05 percent. Isotropic fue… more
