Methods and Techniques of Fallout Studies Using a Particulate Simulant

Description: The fallout hazard and protection factors in current use for large groups of buildings, i.e., urban residential areas, business districts, industrial complexes, government centers, Atomic Energy Commission facilities, and academic and medical institutions, are largely unsubstantiated by experimental evidence. These data are important for personnel protection on a national basis in the event of war and on a local basis in the event of certain types of nuclear accidents. The need for such informa… more

The Salt Cycle Process

Description: The Salt Cycle Process is a nuclear fuel processing approach designed for application in compact facilities located at the reactor sites. Irradiated UO/sub 2/ fuels would be processed through a brief sequence of steps and partially purified UO/sub 2/ or UO/sub 2/--PuO/sub 2/ powders recovered, suitable for refabrication into fuel elements. The major steps of the process are the dissolution of uranium oxides in molten NaCl--KCl eutectic by chlorination to form soluble uranyl chloride and the red… more

Performance Characteristics of an Electromagnetic Pump

Description: >The performance characteristics of small linear-induction electromagnetic pumps suitable for high-temperature liquid-metal test-loop operation were examined. Also, methods by which the performance of such pumps may be improved were investigated. The phenomenon of fluid wetting of the pump duct wall and the use of side bars provide powerful tools for improving the linear-induction-pump performance characteristics. Full advantage of the improved performance can be obtained if the hydraulic losse… more

HIGH TEMPERATURE CLADDING ALLOYS

Description: For high-temperature applications, fuel element cladding materials are required to protect the base metal structure and to contain the fuel so as to minimize fission product release and fuel loss. Since the early work on clad Mo fuel element concepts, many metallic cladding systems have been investigated for direct cycle reactors. The developments in stainless steel and Ni alloy claddings are reviewed and the more recent applications of new oxidation- resistant ferrous-base and chromium-base al… more
