Isotopic Sources of Secondary Radiation. Final Report

Description: Recent work on isotopic x ray sources is reportcd. The research was directed toward optimization of high-level isotopic sources and evaluation of their use in typical scientific and technical applications. The resulting experi- mental data are used in obtaining an approximate mathematical formulation of x- ray output as a function of beta energy, target mnaterial, and source configuration. (J.R.D.)

Synthesis and Fabrication of Refractory Uranium Compounds. Summary Report for May 1959 Through December 1960

Description: Activitiee are described in an investigation to develop refractory U materiala for superior reactor fuels. Uranium carbide was prepared by cold pressing in pellets with densitier of 92 to 96% of theoretical. Uranium nitride was synthesized, and it was found that dense specimens (95% of theoretical) could be obtained in N-deficient powder, however in stochiometric compositions the maximum density obtained was 85% of theoretical. In other work dense uranium silicide was prepared and several prope… more

Equations of State for Evolution Studies of Supernovae

Description: Tables of the energy, pressure, and chemical composition for a stellar mixture, originally a pure Fe/sup 56/, are presented as functions of temperature and density. They cover a range of conditions pertinent to the evolution of supernovae, involving the deconiposition of iron into helium plus neutrons, and the later stage of decomposition of helium into neutrons and protons. Relativistic degeneracy of electrons is included in these calculations. (auth)

THE HEAT TREATMENT OF PLUTONIUM

Description: Two groups of plutonium bars, one group containing 165 ppm iron and the other 678 ppm iron were end-quenched from the beta, gamma, delta, delta-prime, and epsilon phases. In general, cooling rate was found to have three striking effects on microstructure. The alpha grain size was found to decrease with increasing cooling rate during cooling from all phases. Upon cooling high-iron plutonium from the epsilon phase, the size of the Pu--Pu6/sub 6/Fe eutectic network decreased with increasing coolin… more

A standard AlSi braze wetting test for aluminum components used in the lead-dip process

Description: Wetting of the aluminum components by aluminum-silicon brazing alloy is a major factor influencing the quality of the fuel elements. Several process variables associated with the impact extrusion of aluminum components influence the resulting Al surface. In addition, these processing variables interact with the HAPO component production cleaning process to give varying results. Purpose of this document is to define the parameters for selecting, preparing) testing and evaluating the AlSi wetting… more

METALLURGY OF ZIRCALOY-2. PART II. THE EFFECTS OF FABRICATION VARIABLES ON THE PREFERRED ORIENTATION AND ANISOTROPY OF STRAIN BEHAVIOR

Description: The preferred orientation and anisotropy of strain behavior of Zircaloy- 2 were studied as functions of fabrication variables. An inverse-pole-figure technique was used for the preferred orientation determinations. Evaluation of the effects of the fabrication variables on the anisotropy of strain behavior was accomplished by a contractile strainaxial strain analysis. An analysis of strain behavior in the normal direction was developed on the basis of theory of plastic flow of anisotropic metals… more

BUILDUP OF Cf$sup 252$ AND INTERMEDIATE ISOTOPES FROM Cm$sup 244$ IN A HIGH FLUX

Description: The amount of Cf/sup 252/ and intermediate isotopes which could be made from Cm/sup 244/ in a reactor with high neutron flux was calculated. The variations of different isotopes formed in the bombardment as a function of time are described by a series of linear differential equations. The cross sections used were either weighed measured values or values estimated from the amounts of curium and californium isotopes formed in irradiations of heavy elements. The number of atoms of heavy curium iso… more

A Condenser for the Vacuum Distillation of Metals

Description: A condenser, suitable for use in the distillation of metals was designed. The temperature of the condensing surface was established by controlling the pressure over boiling NaK-78 contained within the condenser. Performance was evaluated in test units in which pure bismuth was distilled as the test metal. (auth)

OXIDATION OF URANIUM(IV) BY OXYGEN AND NITROUS ACID

Description: The oxidation of uranium(IV) by oxygen and nitrous acid was studied in both 30% TBP-""Ultrasene"" and in aqueous solutions. Emphasis was placed on reactions between uranium(IV) and nitrous acid. Distribution coefficients were measured for uranium(IV) and uranium(VI) in the nitric acid-30% TBP system. The use of uranium(IV) as a reductant for plutonium in the Purex process is discussed. (auth)

MUFT-5--A FAST NEUTRON SPECTRUM PROGRAM FOR THE PHILCO-2000

Description: The program was written for the Philco-2000 computer to provide a nuclear design computing tool equivalent to the IBM-704 computer program MUFT-4 and to provide a set of routines for a future spatial multigroup program, P/sub 3/ MG-1. In addition to the features of its 704 predecessor, MUFT-5 provides a more complete isotopic edit, an optional blackness coefficient edit, and the use of a complete P/sub i/->i>s library. The resultant program is found to be easier to use because of the simplicity… more
