Savannah River Plant construction [100 Area History]: Volume 3

Description: This report discusses five Reactor (100) Areas constructed at SRP. They were designated as 100-C, K, L, P and R. A minimum distance of two miles separated any two of the areas which were laid out in the form of a semi-circle, Each area contained approximately 40 permanent buildings and facilities for a total of 200 buildings for all of the 100 Areas. Construction was started on the R Area first and this was the first area to be completed and accepted by Operations. Construction of the other are… more

POLARIZATION OF NEUTRONS SCATTERED BY INTERMEDIATE AND HEAVY NUCLEI

Description: Measurements of the polarization produced in the scattering of neutrons from heavy nuclei have been carried out at neutron energies of 380 and 980 kev. The Li/sup 7/(p,n)Be/sup 7/ reaction was used as a source of polarized neutrons. Right-left asymmetries in scattering of these neutrons from several elements ranging in atomic weight from 55 to 238 were measured at scattering angles of 55, 90, and 130 deg . With few exceptions the observed polarizations vary smoothly with atomic weight. Measured… more

A Study of Process Variables in Barium Titanate Ceramics

Description: Three commercially available barium titanate powders were employed in this study. These three materials were fabricated into discs suitable for electrical measurements. Several steps in the fabrication process were varied in an attempt to determine optimum conditions for obtaining the best electrical properties for thc given material. Calcination, particle size, grinding technique, binder addition, forming method, forming pressure, maturing temperature, firing cycle, cooling cycle, and setter m… more

POLARIZATION OF Li$sup 7$(p,n)Be$sup 7$ NEUTRONS

Description: The polarization of neutrons emitted from the Li/sup 7/(p,n)Be/sup 7/ reaction at an angle of 50 deg was measured for neutron energies between 0.7 and 1.5 Mev. The polarization was deduced from the right-left asymmetry in the scattering of these neutrons from liquid oxygen. The results indicate that the polarization is close to --0.3, independent of hombarding energy. One measurement for neutrons emitted at 30 deg yields a polarization only slightly smaller than for neutrons emitted at 50 deg f… more

Chemical Effects of Nuclear Transformations and Their Use in Making Labeled Compounds

Description: The chemical effects of nuclear transformations can be utilized to introduce the radioactive atoms produced into chemical species useful for tracer studies. Gas chromatography offers a means of separating the tagged compounds with high specific activity. A chromatographic apparatus for separating and identifying labeled compounds is described. Comparisons are made of this with other labeling techniques. (auth)

PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE NEED FOR HEAT-TOLERANT MATERIALS IN AERODYNAMIC APPLICATIONS

Description: Presented at American Society for Metals Conference on Heat Tolerant Materials for Aerodynamic Applications, Albuquerque, N. Mex. Jan. 1957. The need for heat-tolerant materials in aerodynamic applications is discussed on the basis of the temperatures attainable in high-speed flight, the effects of these temperatures upon structural materials, and the problems encountered by the airframe designer as a result of the changes in these structural properties.

ANALYSIS OF PROMPT EXCURSIONS IN SIMPLE SYSTEMS

Description: A calculation, coded for a fast computer, is discussed that can fairly accurately match the experimental resuIts obtained from the LASL Lady Godiva prompt burst program. In particular, the code can predict the reactivity where the burst yield deviates from a linear dependence on reactivity and commences to rise much more rapidly. The burst width and maximum rates can be predictcd with reasonable accuracy. The calculation is applied to other simple systems, with the result that there appear to b… more

Soldering of Uranium

Description: One of Its Monograph Series, The Industrial Atom.'' The joining of uranium to uranium has been done successfully using a number of commercial soft solders and fusible alloys. Soldering by using an ultrasonic soldering iron has proved the best method for making sound soldered joints of uranium to uranium and of uranium to other metals, such as stainless steel. Other method of soldering have shown some promise but did not give reliable joints all the time. The soldering characteristics of uranium… more
