Upper Atmosphere Re-Entry Study High Altitude Burnup. Volume 2

Description: Methods of determining the fate of radioactive fuels in space power units burned up on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere are reviewed. Particulate characteristics experiments were derived from an analytical study on the ablation of Dlutonium fuel. This study revealed that the particulate size distribution resulting on re-entry burnup is a function of: the fuel form in use and the material velocity and atmospheric density at the time the fuel is exposed. The particulate fate experiments were … more

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF A SODIUM-COMPONENT TEST INSTALLATION

Description: The instellation is designed primarily for operational testing of Na- heated steam generators and intermediate heat exchangers suitable as prototype components for large, Na-cooled power plants. Other types of Na components can also be tested in the facility. The instellation consists of a 35-Mwt gas-fired Na heat source, a main primary-Na system, a main secondary-Na system, a water- steam system, and a set-up for heat rejection to air. (J.R.D.)

SNAP-8, the First Electric Propulsion Power System

Description: The SNAP-8 Electrical Generating System is a nuclearturbo-electric space power plant -which is ideally suited for utilization with electric propulsion. Several applications, the program objectives, the over-all system, and the design of the major components are described. The program status is delineated and future plans leading to an early flight test and equipment endurance demonstration are defined. (auth)

Chemistry of Anhydrous Systems Containing Hydrogen Fluoride and Nitrogen Oxides

Description: Nitrosyl and fluoride ions are formed in liquid anhydrous hydrogen fluoride when nitric oxide, nitrogen sesquioxide, nitrogen tetroxide, or nitrosyl fluoride, are dissolved. Vapor infrared analysis was used to study the solution composition and gaseous reaction products. These solutions react with metallic uranium, plutonium, zirconium, iron, and aluminum, as well as ceramic uranium oxide and uranium carbide, forming soluble nitrosyl metal fluoride complexes and liberating nitric oxide. The ura… more

QUANTUM CONVERSION IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Description: A new suggestion is made based on model work associated with similar measurements on the biological material itself. The primary quantum conversion act is an ionization occurring in a charge transfer complex. This is what it amounts to in chemical terms. But this process cannot occur in isolated charge transfer molecules in solution because the products cannot escape from each other. The primary quantum conversion as it occurs in modern photosynthesis can only take place in a laminated structur… more

TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION AND THERMAL STRESSES IN A SLAB WITH EXPONENTAL HEAT SOURCE

Description: BS>Temperatures and temperature gradients from gamma heating in reactor components are treated for more complicated cases thnn are found in the literature. A summary of available solutions for conditions which may arise in designing the reactor vessel and its components is attempted. The basic stress formula for the case of an exponential heat source in slab geometry is derived, into which the appropriate temperature equation can be inserted. (T.R.H.)

A Model Designed to Predict the Motion of Objects Translated by Classical Blast Waves

Description: BS>A theoretical model was developed for the purpose of predicting the motion of objects translated by winds associated with "classical" blast waves produced by explosions. Among the factors omitted from the model for the sake of simplicity were gravity and the friction that may occur between the displaced object and the surface upon which it iritially rested. Numerical solutions were obtained (up to the time when maximum missile velocity occurs) in terms of dimensionless quantities to facilita… more

The Calculation of Nonlinear Radiation Transport by a Monte Carlo Method

Description: A monte Carlo method of solving the one-dimensional equations of nonlinear radiation transport is compared with the Sn "characteristics" method of solution. It is concluded that the Monte Carlo method is accurate and stable and furthermore for a given time-cycle length and space-zone size the Monte Carlo method is more accurate than the Sn method.

The Development of High Purity Tantalum and Alloys for Liquid Plutonium containment in Lampre I

Description: By combining arc casting and electron beam melting, spectroscopically pure tantalum and alloys, suitable for containment of molten Pu-Fe alloys, were produced. The 0.1% W alloy was used for the first LAMPRE loading. The effects of a large number of additives on the corrosion resistance of tantalum were tested. Additions of up to 10% tungsten gave increasing endurance. Specimens of tantalum irradiated with neutrons until 3% converted to tungsten were stitl satisfactory in mechanical properties f… more
