Outgassing Characteristics of Various Graphites

Description: The outgassing characteristics of various graphites have been determined in vacuo to a maximum temperature of 1000 deg C using external resistance heating and to 1800 deg C by induction heating. The graphites examined include commercial and experimental lots of nuclear grades prepared from different sources of raw materials and subjected to varying manufacturing procedures. The ash content of the various grades ranges from approximates 5 to approximates 800 ppm and the calcium content from a fe… more

LAMB WAVES: THEIR USE IN NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Description: A series of experiments is described which is primarily concerned with establishing the usefulness of Lamb waves for the detection of small defects in thin plates and in small-diameter, thin-walled tubing. Results indicate that Lamb waves offer greater sensitivity and resolution than do the more conventional nondestructive test methods such as shear waves. (J.R.D.)

FACTORS FOR ONE-SIDED TOLERANCE LIMITS AND FOR VARIABLES SAMPLING PLANS

Description: Tables are given of a quantity k that is used to define single-sample variables sampling plans and one-sided tolerance limits for a normal distribution. The probability is gamma that at least a proportion P of a normal population is below x + ks, where x has a normal distribution with mean and variance re p- terphenyl /sup 2//n and fs/sup 2// re p-terphenyl /sup 2/ has a chi-square distribu tion with f degrees of freedom. The quantity k just described corresponds to a percentage point of the no… more

QUARTERLY STATUS REPORT ON LAMPRE PROGRAM FOR PERIOD ENDING FEBRUARY 20, 1963

Description: Operation of LAMPRE I is summarized, and predictions of power and temperature transients by a new Fortran code (LTC) are compared favorably with experimental results. LAMPRE fuel capsules were metallographically examined and revealed Na attack of weld metal surfaces as well as intergranular penetration of Pu-fuel in the heataffected zone of the welds. New techniques were developed for fabricating capsules. Several alloys were investigated. Corrosion tests of Ce-- Co--Pu alloys in Ta showed an i… more

HIGHLY SELF-SHIELDED BURNABLE POISONS

Description: A new and different type of burnable poison element which can be used essentially to match any decreasing reactivity curve in a reactor and still have a tolerable residue was studied. Specific application is made to Gd as the poison elements; however, the results would be similar for any other suitable high cross-section element such as Cd. (J.R.D.)

Fission Fragment Energy Deposition Efficiency for Thin Uranium-Containing Elements and the Fixation of Nitrogen

Description: It is noted that in chemonuclear reaction systems the efficiency of conversion of nuclear to chemical energy is directly related to the fraction of the total fission fragment recoil energy liberated in the system which is directly absorbed by the chemical reactant. This fraction is termed the fission fragment energy deposition. The use of gas dosimetry for determining the deposition efficiency is described, and G value data are given for nitrogen fixation by fission fragment energy. (J.R.D.)

Summary Report of Design Criteria for a Thermal Flux Liquid Metal Package Loop in the Advanced Test Reactor

Description: Results of the design criteria work performed prior to the termination of work on the package concept for the liquid metal loop facilities for the Advanced Test Reactor are summarized. Based on the results of the criteria studies, it was concluded that achievement of the design objectives could not be predicted with any high degree of confidence when utilizing the package loop concept based on the design philosophy of the PW-19 loop. The characteristics of the loop are given along with design a… more

A 200-Watt Conduction-Cooled Reactor Power Supply for Space Application

Description: The limited supply of relatively long-half-life isotopes having a reasonably high power density and the low conversion efficiencies obtainable with thermoelectric devices have so far limited the power output of isotope-fueled sources of electric power to several tens of watts. In addition, the high cost of the available isotopes results in a very large expense for isotope-fueled generators producing several hundred watts. It appears that a small, minimumweight, conduction-cooled reactor is an a… more

Color Coding Orifices

Description: An investigation was made to find a method of color coding the various jet orifices with different hole sizes to facilitate assembly of the NRX A-1 core. High temperature paints, ceramic paints, temperature indicating paints, and cements were investigated. Various degrees of success were obtained. No one type of paint was found which had excellent adherency after application and after being subjected to 1500°F for one-half hour, yet was available in many colors, was easy to apply and use, and h… more

The Design and Performance of Levitation Melting Coils

Description: A study was undertaken to evaluate the parameters involved in the performance of levitation coils with particular emphasis on the heating effect. The field strength along the axes of various coils was measured using a small search g proportionial to the field strength. The search coil was calibrated with a straight solenoid coil in which the field strength was calculated. By considering each turn of a levitation coil as a short solenoid whose length was the tubing diameter, the field strength c… more

Pressure Drop and Void Fraction Experiments in Simulated Pathfinder Boiler Fuel Elements

Description: A heat-transfer research and development program is being carried out in support of the Pathfinder boilingwater, integral-superheating reactor. Studies were made of the effects of tube-sheet type spacers on the axial pressure profile in a simulated fuel element. The effect of boiling on the frictional and spacer type pressure losses in a 6-ft long test section was measured. The void fraction in a test section was measured by a fine gamma-ray traversing technique. The flow downstream from a spac… more

Search for the Dirac Monopole With 30-Bev Protons

Description: A search was made at the Brookhaven alternating gradient synchrotron for magnetic monopoles produced either in collisions of 30-Bev protons with light nuclei, or produced by gamma rays secondary to these protons in the Coulomb field of protons or of carbon nuclei. In runs using 5 7 x 10/sup 15/ circulating protons, no monopole-like event was found. This implies an upper limit for production in protonnucleon interactions of about 2 x 10/sup -40/ cm/sup 2/. Experimental limits are also derived fo… more
