The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Research Reactor Safeguard Report

Description: The proposed ORNL Research Reactor is designed to serve as a general purpose research tool delivering a maximum thermal flux of 8x10^13 n/cm2-sec at the initial power level of five megawatts. Operation at power levels up to ten megawatts is proposed for such items as sufficient cooling capacity is available to handle the increased heat load. The reactor will use MTR-type fuel elements and beryllium reflector pieces in a 7 x 9 grid with moderation and cooling provided by forced circulation of de… more

Theoretical Study of a Source of Intermediate Energy Neutrons

Description: Abstract. An analysis is made of a proposal to obtain neutrons of 15-25 Kev energy by moderating fast neutrons in aluminum and then reflecting off titanium. The fluxes calculated do not significantly exceed those obtainable from a standard antimony-beryllium photoneutron source. Two appendices treat aspects of the transport of neutrons through a slab of finite thickness.

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge

Description: When a one-half ounce spherical charge of high explosive is detonated over a flat plane bounded by a 5 degree incline, the type of phenomenon encountered depends on the distance from ground zero to a beginning of the incline. If this distance is 48" the wave assumes a smooth contour on the plane. Detailed investigation of the shock velocity above the plane reveals that there is a pressure gradient along the shock front for a considerable region which replaces the usual triple point.
