Mass Transfer Coefficients and Interfacial Area in a One Stage Pulse Column

Description: Over-all mass transfer coefficients were determined independently of the interfacial area by considering the operation of the pulse column to be a stage- wise process. The calculated coefficients describe only the operation of the pulse column for the free rise of organic droplets through a stage, since in the downstroke the aqueous phase passes through the organic phase in the form of rivulets preferentially wetting the plates. The driving force for transfer was based on the aqueous phase conc… more

Zero Field Magnetic Properties of Gadolinium Terbium, and Samarium

Description: The mutual inductance or apparent susceptibility due to the presence of the sample in a coaxial inductance coil was observed for Gd, Tb, and Sm in fields of a few gauss over the respective temperature ranges of 78 to 310 deg K, 78 to 235 deg K, and 4.2 to 150 deg K. A paramagnetic Curie point of 284.2 deg K was found for Gd. For Tb, a transition was found which occurred to within 1 deg of the predicted temperature of 220 deg K, and a second peak occurred at 229.4 deg K which is within 2 deg of … more

Research and Development of Metal Hydrides. Summary Report for October 1, 1958-September 30, 1960

Description: A detailed study of the fundamental relations in the zirconium -- hydrogen system was made in order to clarify the many points of dispute and to evolve a complete picture describing all phases of this system. An engineering evaluation was made of means for utillzing the various high cross-section metal hydrides in shielding or control applications. These materials would combine the processes of thermalization and absorption. Consequently, they are of considerable interest for use in shielding o… more

Laboratory Investigation of Decontaminating Solutions for Primary Loop Decontamination in the New Production Reactor

Description: An investigation was made of methods for decontaminating the primary loop of the New Production Reactor (NPR). Decontamination factors ranging from fifty to several thousand were obtained with several different combinations of cleaning solutions. In general, fission product activity was removed to a lower residual level than was activated corrosion product activity, and carbon steel was easier to decontaminate than was stainless steel. It was necessary to completely remove the oxide film from t… more

Equilibrium Distribution Studies of Dysprosium Nitrate-Erbium Nitrate- Nitric Acid-Tributyl Phosphate Systems

Description: Separate equilibrium data were obtained for the distribution of Dy(NO/ sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/, Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/, and Dy(NO/sub 3/)< i3>iEr(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/-HNO/sub 3/ systems between water and tributyl phosphate. Equilibrium data for the Dy(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub 3/ and Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ -HNO/sub 3/ systems were correlated in such a manner that the total distribution of solutes and nitric acid could be found for the Dy(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- Er(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/- HNO/sub… more

THE ADVANCED TEST REACTOR-ATR FINAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

Description: The results of a study are presented which provided additional experimental-loop irradiation space for the AECDRD testing program. It was a premise that the experiments allocated to this reactor were those which could not be accommodated in the MTR, ETR, or in existing commercial test reactors. To accomplish the design objectives called for a reactor producing perturbed neutron fluxes exceeding 1O/sup 15/ thermal n/cm/sup 2/-sec and 1.5 x 1O/sup 15/ epithermal n/cm/sup 2/-sec.

Operating Control Rods for the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant. Final Design Report

Description: The final design of the operating control rods for the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant was completed. Two such rods are located near the center of the reactor, which is sodium cooled. Boron carbide is used as poison material. A flow distribution test and analysis, thermal analysis, and stress analysis of the rod were performed for both the normal operating and scram conditions. The test and analysis show that the design meets APDA specifications. (auth)
