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

Water Treatment in Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors, Experience in HRE-2

Description: A method for water treatment has been developed for corrosion protection in the steam-water cycle of Homogeneous Reactor Experiment No. 2. The use of potassium phosphates for pH control, hydrazine for oxygen removal, and limitation of chlorides in the boiler water to less than 1 ppm has resulted in trouble-free operation of the steam system from December 1957 to December 1960.

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).

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
