Response of Dual-Purpose Reinforced-Concrete Mass Shelter

Description: BS>A reinforced-concrete dual-purpose underground parking garage and personnel sheiter designed for a long-duration incident pressure of 40 psi was tested. The sheiter was exposed to shot Priscilla, an approximately 37-kt 700-ft balloon burst (June 24, 1957), at a ground range of 1600 ft (predicted 35-psi peak incident-pressure level). The recorded peak incident pressure at the shelter was approximately 39 psi. Postshot soil borings were made to obtain undisturbed samples for determining soil c… more

BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY QUARTERLY REPORT DEC. 1960 THROUGH FEB.1961

Description: The current interest in the subject of fiber optics has brought about, among its many achievements, the development of a new technique for measuring refractive index. An instrument designed as a light-pipe refractometer or rod photorefractometer has been described by Kapany and Pike. these authors have presented both a theoretical study of the phenomenon and experimental results arising from a prototype apparatus. The range of applicability of such a device is limited, however, by the availabil… more

Results of the 105-DR effluent piping stress measurements from IP-342-AG

Description: Development Test IP-342-AG was run on August 12, 1960, and August 25, 1960, for the purpose of measuring temperatures, pressures and strains throughout the 105-DR effluent systems. On October 24, 1960, additional strain readings were recorded prior to reactor shutdown, thus yielding strain data virtually free from strain gage drift. Results of the tests were analyzed to determine if sustained operation at 93{degree}C--95{degree}C bulk outlet temperature is practical, without increasing the dang… more

Offsite Extrusion Program summary report

Description: The coextrusion process for fabricating zircaloy-2 clad metallic uranium fuel elements was developed by Nuclear Metals Incorporated, West concord, Massachusetts. When the coextrusion process was selected for fabricating NPR fuel elements, it became necessary to acquire experience in this process. Since there were no extrusion facilities immediately available at HAPO, it was necessary to initiate a development program using offsite extrusion facilities. Two basic objectives of this program were:… more

Irradiation testing of tubular fuel elements: PT-IP 292A. Final report

Description: This report discusses Zircaloy-2 clad uranium and uranium-2 weight percent zirconium fuel tubes which were irradiated to 3200 MWD/T in a high temperature water cooled loop. The outer clad of one tube split due to swelling of the uranium. Postirradiation examination of the fuel cores included metallography, electron microscopy, density determinations, dimensional measurements, and radiochemical burn-up analysis.

RADIOLYTIC AND CHEMICAL STABILITY OF PURE HYDROCARBONS

Description: The tendency of various classes of pure hydrocarbons to form zirconium- complexing ligands during chemical or radiolytic degradation was evaluated. Olefins and aromaticcycloparaffins (mixed type) formed the most ligands and normal paraffins the fewest. (auth)

SMALL-ORDER SHAPE FACTORS IN In$sup 114$, P$sup 32$, AND Y$sup 9$$sup 0$

Description: The beta spectra of In/sup 114/, P/sup 32/, and Y/sup 90/ were stud ied closely in an intermediate-image beta-ray spectrometer and compared to theoretical predictions in terms of a linear shape factor of the form (1 + aW). The values obtained for a were s for P/sup 32/, and (-0.0047 plus or minus 0.0008)/mc/sup 2/ for Y/sup 90/, all for electron kinetic energies from about 200 kev up to near the maximum beta energies. Tests were made to give indications for spectrometer fidelity. Because of the… more

Gamma-ray scanning techniques for fast breeder reactor safety studies

Description: A radiation scanning device was constructed to observe meltdown of fast breeder reactor fuel elements in the TREAT reactor by means of self gamma emission. Although the original desired specification was to view natural uranium pins with a space resolution of 0.1 in. and a time resolution of 1 millisecond, the system was designed to give the above space resolution, but the time resolution would be 5 milliseconds or longer depending on the signal intensity. The system failed to give satisfactory… more

Air blast studies with animals. Part II.

Description: Goats under Nembutal and mice were exposed in a shock tube modified to give longer-duration overpressures and equipped with ports for photography. Except for ear damage, displacement still seemed to be the major cause of injury in goats in the 4-foot section of the tube. However, it was found that mice were killed, apparently by pure blast, in a particular position in a particular type of side chamber attached to the higher-pressure, smaller-diameter, section of the tube. The relation between m… more

Experimental Evaluation of the Radiation Protection Provided by an Earth- Covered Shelter

Description: against fall-out radiation provided by an earth-covered shelter. The study indicated that the shelter offered excellent protection from fall-out radiation deposited on and around the shelter. This study also added additional data to the research in radiation shielding provided by various structures which is being conducted by the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. A fall-out radiation field was simulated by pumping, at constant speed… more

PWR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. TEST REPORT. GAMMA SCANNING SPENT SM-1 CORE I FUEL ELEMENTS. TEST 318

Description: A test was designed and performed to experimentally determine fuel burnup distribution in the SM-1 Core I spent fuel elements. It was believed to be feasible if the spatial distribution of the gamma rays emitted from a long- lived, unsaturated fission product could be measured. However, scintillation spectra indicated an intense peak between 0.7 and O.8 Mev, primarily attributed to the 63day Zr/sup 95/ fission product and 35-day Nb/sup 95/. The magnitude of this peak nullified the possibility o… more

FILM GROWTH ON ALUMINUM IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE WATER

Description: Film growths on aluminum and two aluminum-1 wt.% nickel alloys in water at 250 and 350 deg C were studied. It was found that oxide growth does not advance on a uniform front but, to the contrary, the advancing surface contains many outcrops in the form of thin platelets, chunky outcrops, and whiskers. With both the pure metal and the alloys considerable intergranular attack was observed. The general corrosion product was usually more uniform in crystal size when formed on the pure metal, but va… more

PHYSICS ANALYSIS OF PROPOSALS FOR EBWR CORE 2

Description: Two concepts were investigated as possibilities for the next loading of EBWR. One is a light water spiked plutonium recycle system; the second is a conventional uniformly loaded system with the option of different enrichments in two radial zones. It is concluded that the plutonium recycle scheme is not feasible in EBWR at 100 Mw, and recommendation for a two-enrichment loading for various burnups is made. (auth)

Corrosion of Some Reactor Materials in Dilute Phosphoric Acid

Description: Corrosion tests in dilute phosphoric acid (pH 3.5) at elevated temperature are described for X8001 aluminum, 18-8 stainless steels, aluminized carbon steel, and Zircaloy. In a 307-day dynamic test at 18 ft/sec and 315 deg C, X8001 aluminum corroded at a rate of 1/2 mdd for the first 240 days. In subsequent exposures, the corrosion rate increased, but the total average penetration at 307 days was only 0.0005 inch. At 200 days, the total corrosion in this test was one-fiftieth that in distilled w… more

Effect of Surface Treatment on the Corrosion Resistance of Zircaloy-2

Description: ABS>An experiment was performed to determine the effects of nonpickling versus pickling to depths of one and two mils on the corrosion resistance of Zircaloy-2 machined by various methods. No significant difference in corrosion rate between pickled and unpickled Zircaloy-2 was found, provided that properly sharpened and hardened tools were used. (auth)
