Design and Feasibility Study of a Pebble Bed Reactor-Steam Power Plant

Description: Originally issued as S and P 1963A, Parts I and II. This report covers a design and feasibility study of a pebble bed reactor-steam power plant of 125 megawatt electrical output. The reactor design which evolved from this study is a two-region thermal breeder, operating on the uranium-thorium cycle, in which all core structural materials are graphite. Fuel is in the form of unclad spherical elements of graphite, containing fissile and fertile material. The primary loop consists of the reactor … more

IDP physics primer

Description: In this document it is proposed to describe the plant site and to outline the nature of the pile in order to show the specific design and layout requirements for the production of plutonium by nuclear synthesis. The selection of the plant site involved a number of special considerations. An essential requirement was a large dependable supply of relatively pure water that remains at a fairly low temperature throughout the year. A large source of power was required to circulate the tremendous qua… more

The Slowing-Down Distribution of Energetic Nuclei in a Fully Ionized Gas

Description: The steady-state energy distribution is obtained for a group of initially monoenergetic charged particles slowing down in a filly ionized gas. The distribution function is obtained analytically by solving the FokkerPlanck equation in energy space. With reference to thermonuclear reactions, the results obtained suggest that in some situations the contribution of the slowingdown distribution to the reaction rate may be significant. (auth)

A MODIFIED PILE OSCILLATOR FOR NEUTRON CROSS-SECTION MEASUREMENTS

Description: A pile oscillator was designed, constructed, and operated at the Battelle Research Reactor. This pile oscillator cycles a specimen and a standard in the same container through an annular ion chamber located in the thermal column. This almost simultaneous oscillation of the standard and specimen eliminates errors caused by power drifts or fluctuations. The use of a continuous graphite rod for the container or carrier reduces undesirable scattering effects of the carrier. The oscillator was calib… more

Shielding Computer Program 04-0, Reactor Shield Analysis

Description: Shielding Computer Program 04-0 is available for computing reactor- shield weight and fast neutron and gamma ray dose rates in and around complex resctorshield assemblies. Reactor and shield geometries are described by combinations of regions formed by rotating rectangles or trapezoids about the reactor axis or by translating rectangles parallel to the reactor axis. Compositions are expressed as volume fractions for each material in the reactor- shield assembly. A cylindrical coordinate system … more

Radiation Exposures of Personnel at the 60-Inch Cyclotron

Description: A study has been made of the radiation received by staff members of the 60-inch cyclotron for the period from 1953 to 1957 and of the radiation environment in the target area. The nature of the operations has caused workers to receive an average amount of radiation that was within the formerly acceptcd limits and in addition is less than the present maximum recommended by the AEC. Namely, the Maximum permissible Dose (MPD) to the most critical organs, accumulated at any age, shall not exceed 5 … more

Stability of the Interface Between Two Immiscible Liquids of Unequal Viscosity in a Porous Solid

Description: The stability of the interface between two immiscible fluids moving at a uniform rate through a porous medium is investigated. The conditions for stability are derived, and the rate of growing of instabilities of specified wavelength is obtained. The expression for the rate of growth of instability is similar in form to that obtained by Taylor for the case of uniformly accelerated incompressible liquids, but the growth rate is fouud to be inversely proportional to the wavelength rather than inv… more

The Nurture of Creative Science and the Men who Make It

Description: This report describes the development of work that began as an investigation of photosynthesis and that continues in this direction, but which has as a new product some entirely strngly results. Photosynthesis, the process upon which all life on earth today is ultimately dependent, achieves the conversion of electromagnetic energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of plant material by the reduction of CO{sub 2} from the atmosphere with the liberation of O{sub 2} to the atmosphere.
