Sodium Graphite Reactor. Quarterly Progress Report, July-September 1954

Description: Technology of the Sodium Graphite Reactor. Reactivity calculations were made to study the application of steadystate plutonium feedback techniques to the use of diffusion plant tails for reactor fuel feed material. The performance and design of a twin core SGR power plant are given. Thermal neutron flux distribution measurements are reported for a six-rod fuel cluster and for a hollow uranium rod. A power cost calculation was made for a 1000-Mw SGR Th-U/sup 233/ breeder reactor which starts up … more

Measurement of the Behavior of a Plasma in a Magnetic Field by Means of Probes

Description: Abstract: "Probes were used to measure certain properties of the cloud of positive ions and electrons ejected from a pulsed ion source having two hydrogen-loaded electrodes. Time-of-flight measurements show: the presence of H+ ions with 50 ev directed energy; an increase of this energy with increasing pulse current in the source; a higher peak yield of ions with higher peak currents in the source; and higher yields and higher ion energies up to 110 ev have been recorded with the use of a pulsed… more

DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS OF IRRADIATED DIAMOND AND SILICON CARBIDE

Description: It was demonstrated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) that: 1. Catastrophic amounts of energy can be stored in diamond. 2. Even at low irradiations, the release takes place over several hundred degrees, indicating a spectrum of activation energies. 3. At higher irradiations, the stored energy release is considerably less than the increased energy content and seems not to have been completely released even at the highest temperatures reached. 4. There is some indication of an increased heat… more

Sodium Graphite Reactor Quarterly Progress Report for July-September, 1954

Description: Reactivity calculations have been performed for the steady-state Pu feedback technique outlined in the previous progress report. A full-scale power plant study was initiated, based on sodium-graprite technology. A twin-core power plant is now considered to be the most promising configuration. Several design drawings are given of such a reactor, using slightly enriched U to produce Pu amd electrical power. The thermal neutron flux distribution in a cluster of 6 U rods was measured, and the resul… more
