Refinements of the Theory of the Infinitely-Long, Self-Acting, Gas-Lubricated Journal Bearing. Interim Report

Description: The lubrication equations for an arbitrary Newtonian fluid are derived directly from the general equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. From the lubrication equations an inequality is obtained for the internal film temperature rise, after which the isothermal film equations are derived. Then, for perfectly-aligned self-acting journal bearings, a conservation equation is obtained. For gas bearings this condition gives: [formula] constant along the axis of the bearing. Applicat… more

Attempts to Delineate Inborn Anemias in Mice. Progress Report and Fifth Renewal Proposal, Report Period: January 10, 1959-January 31, 1960. Renewal Period: May 1, 1960-April 30, 1961

Description: During the past year, three papers covering results of a major series of experiments on intergenotype of blood-forming tissue have appeared, demonstrating successful implantation of isologues normal cells in anemic hosts, permanently correcting their genetic defect in hematopoiesis, both with and without irradiation of the host. Heavy host irradiation was shown ineffective as preparations for implantation of homologous cells of widely different antigenic types.

Progress letter No. 11 for January 1, 1960 through January 31, 1960

Description: A stainless steel autoclave for superheated water corrosion test was installed and "conditioned". Tests were begun to investigate the feasibility of densifying slip cast stainless steel by means of liquid phase sintering. Attempts to prepare tubular fuel elements by vacuum forming were resumed. Although thick-walled vacuum formed casting have been sintered on the aluminum mandrels without cracking, this has not yet been accomplished with the think sections of interest.

Dispersion Strengthening of Iron-Aluminum Base Alloys: A Feasibility Study

Description: The feasibility of improving the mechanical properties at 1700-1800°F of oxidation-resistant Fe-Al-Cr alloys by means of a refractory dispersion has been explored. A literature search was conducted, preliminary experimental determinations of properties of the alloy and its oxides were carried out, and certain mathematical relations between dispersion characteristics and metallurgical variables were derived. The results indicate that the alloys can be strengthened sufficiently by using a dispers… more

ORR Startup Accident and Cooling Flow Coastdown Analog Analysis

Description: Startup accident and pump run-down on the ORR have been simulated on the Reactor Controls Analog Facility. At full flow the 150% level scram (45 Mv) easily terminates the startup accident before the metal temperature gets above 180°F. For very low flows typical of criticality runs, temperature coefficients turn the excursion before it reaches 150% of full power, and temperatures climb to boiling, a potentially hazardous condition. (This same behavior can occur at full flow is the power is incr… more

Summary of Runs 1, 2, and 3 in High-Temperature, High-Pressure Titanium Loop

Description: Simulated reactor fuel solutions were circulated at temperatures as high as 365°C in a small titanium pump loop. A hydroclone separator separated heavy phases formed at high temperatures. As the temperature of the solution was increased beyond the two-liquid-phase temperature (327°C), the salt concentration of the light phase decreased and the acid concentration increased. The mole ratios of uranium to sulfate, uranium to copper, and uranium to nickel in the light phase decreased in the same pr… more

Bremsstrahlung Absorption Measurements from Sr^90 TiO3

Description: The absorption in lead of Bremsstrahlung X radiation from a Sr^90 TiO3 pellet in the proximity of Hastelloy "C" was measured. The tenth value layer of the more energetic components of the X-ray continuum was determined to be 1.60 inches.

Determination of the S. S. N. M. Content of the Shipment to the Davison Chemical Company, Erwin, Tennessee, December 20, 1960

Description: A carrier containing 138.99 liters of solution, uranium concentration 202.04 g/liter with an isotopic concentration of 97.3% U-233, was prepared for shipment. The total uranium was 28,062 +/- 60 g (95% confidence level) and the U-233, 27,305 +/- 66 g (95% confidence level).

Revised Version of HFIR Critical Experiment-2 (HFCE-2)

Description: A listing and description is given of the experiments associated with the HFIR Critical Experiment-2. The primary experiments concern the reactivity of the bare core, reactivity worth of "gray" control plates, core-power distribution, reactivity. The secondary experiments concern the reactivity of the fuel, and the reactivity worth of a "partial" gray plate.

Sources and Availability of Helium

Description: A review of helium sources, availability, consumption, and future production capacity indicates that the helium consumed in the operation of 100 helium-cooled reactors for 300-Mwe power plants over a 20-year period will run no more than a few per cent of the helium consumed in the U. S. in the next 25 years and less than 1% of the helium that is to be stored during that period under the helium conservation act of 1960 (Public Law 86-777).

Xenon and Samarium Poisoning

Description: The equilibrium and maximum override values for xenon and samarium poisoning have been computed using the recently issued effective cross sections of C. H. Westcott. Values are given as a function of specific power, neutron temperature, and epithermal flux content.

A Useful Solution for Short Cylindrical Shells and Other Applications

Description: The general solution to the basic differential equation d^4w/dy^4 +4w= -4f(y) is transformed from the primary form treated in most texts to an alternate form in which each integration constant corresponds to one edge condition at y=0. The relationships between the integration constants of the two forms are derived and the values for the transformed functions are tabulated. The particular solution is derived in general and given in unique form for various functional forms of f(y). Matrix notatio… more

Pressure Vessel Exposure to Fast Neutrons

Description: In a gas-cooled reactor operating at very high power density the thickness of the reflector may be determine by the requirement that the steel pressure vessel be protected from an excessive dose of fast neutrons, rather than by the usual requirements of neutron economy and power distribution. It is important the the reflector not be made thicker than necessary, since an increase in pressure vessel diameter can result in a marked increase in cost, as well as a decrease in the permitted gas pres… more
