PT IP-200-A, Temperature measurement of uranium swelling capsule

Description: In the development of fuel elements for the NPR, one potentially serious fuel element problem -- high temperature uranium swelling -- has not been experimentally investigated. A series of experiments has been proposed in which uranium fuel rod with different amounts of Zircaloy-2 cladding will be irradiated to high exposure at temperatures equivalent to those expected in an NPR. These experiments should show the importance of high temperature uranium swelling as a limiting factor in NPR fuel el… more

Development of Cermet Fuel Elements

Description: Fabrication techniques for making metal-ceramic fuel elements containing 80 to 90 vol. f UN or UO/sub 2/ in a Type 302B stainless steel matrix were investigated. A hot press-forging procedure was most successful for of theoretical or better. This procedure consisted of sealing the cold-p;ressed core compacts in stainless steel picuture-frame packs, heating to 1900 deg F, and pressing to a total reduction in thickness of 35%. A pressure approximately 50 tsi was used specimens produced by this me… more

Stability of Ballistic Reentry Bodies

Description: Report discussing various features of the stability of ballistic reentry shapes, including considerations for ballistic-missile and manned-satellite reentry capsules. Attainment of satisfactory stability of reentry bodies with subsonic terminal velocities was not found to be too difficult, but undesirable features that may cause marginal stability characteristics may be introduced in an effort to minimize weight. Reentry bodies with supersonic terminal velocities have fewer stability issues.

Flight, Analog-Simulator, and Analytical Studies of an Automatically Controlled Interceptor Which Uses a Bank-Angle-Error Computer for Lateral Commands

Description: Report presenting the tracking performance of an automatically controlled interceptor in which the deflection channel incorporated a bank-angle-error computer that commanded rolling velocities of the interceptor proportional to the computed bank-angle errors. Results regarding gravity terms included in bank-angle-error computation and a comparison of modified system using bank-angle-error computer with the prototype system are provided.

Aerodynamic Heating of Blunt Nose Shapes at Mach Numbers Up to 14

Description: From Introduction: "The importance of blunt noses as a means of reducing the heat transfer to high velocity missiles has recently received much publicity. The question of just what blunt shape is best is still moot, and it is the purpose of this paper to present and examine some recent experimental results which may throw some light on this problem."

A CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM-AN INVESTIGATION OF THE KINETIC MECHANISMS OF URANYL SALT ION EXCHANGE

Description: Recent literature concerning uranyl salt complex chemistry and ion exchange was reviewed in an effort to develop the present state of understanding of the equilibria and kinetic mechanisms involved. In the light of this, a development program is discussed which hopefully would lead to further enlightenment. Various kinetic mechanisms of sorption and elution are proposed and a comprehensive mathematical development is given for one such sorption mechanism. (auth)

Development of Cermet Fuel Elements

Description: Abstract: "Fabrication techniques for making metal-ceramic fuel elements containing 60 to 90 volume per cent of UN or UO2 in a Type 302B stainless steel matrix was investigated. A hot press-forging procedure was most successful for fabricating fuel cores with a density of 90 per cent of theoretical or better. This procedure consisted of sealing the cold-pressed core compacts in stainless steel picture-frame packs, heating to 1900 F, and pressing to a total reduction in thickness of 35 per cent.… more
