SNAP II POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM TOPICAL REPORT NO. 11, ORBITAL FORCE FIELD BOILING AND CONDENSING EXPERIMENT

Description: The characteristics of Rankine space power plants in the zero gravity aspect of the environment of space were lnvestigated. The expected effects of Rankine space power plants are described. Discussions of experimental techniques for studying these phenomena show that this information can be obtained rapidly and economically. Recommendations for a program to supplement SNAP II and slmllar Ranklne space power development efforts in this vital area are made, and consist of: the development and tes… more

The Snap-Ii Power Conversion System. Dynamic Analysis. Topical Report No. 3

Description: SNAP II is the designation for a nuclear auxiliary power unit, designed primarily for utilization in the WS117L satellite vehicle. The SNAP II system consists of a reactor heat source, a mercury Rankin engin, and an alternator. Dynamic analysis of the power conversion system was conducted utilizing a comprehensive analog computer simulation. Feasibility of a parasitic load control for numerous system disturbances was demonstrated. (auth)

A LINEAR INDUCTION PUMP FOR LIQUID METALS

Description: A linear induction pump of a special design was used to circulate molten sodium through a mockup of an experimental "overflow" type of sodium-cooled reactor. The distinctive features of this pump are that no seals or moving parts are required: no piping is required to carry sodium to the pump or away from it because the pump is mounted directly on the reactor vessel, with the windings outside of the vessel and the magnetic flux return path inside the vessel. The pump develops 342 gpm at 6.2 psi… more

TRANSIENT BUBBLE GROWTH IN A HOMOGENEOUS REACTOR

Description: A mechanism for shutting off a power excursion in a homogeneotns reactor by the rapid formation of bubbles was investigated. Equations are derived which give upper and lower bounds for the radius of a bubble, as a function of time, under conditions present in a reactor. Deduction of the bubble nuclei growth rate from observations of void volume and pressure can be made. (auth)

Progress Report for Period Covering December 17, 1969 - January 15, 1960

Description: As reported in the previous Progress Report (December 16, 1959) a stock solution of Th 230 was prepared from pitchblende. Pulse height analysis of this solution indicated the presence of only Th 230 (93%), Th 227 (5%), Th 232 (1%), and Th 228 (1%). This solution was used to make up synthetic thorium solution of various concentration. These synthetic solutions were analyzed to establish a chemical yield for the procedure. Neither the precision nor the chemical yield of the procedure were conside… more

Radioactive Drug Research, Final Summary Report, July 1949 to October 1959

Description: Applications of radioisotopes in the preparation of labeled drugs are reviewed. Among the applications described are the preparation of carbon-14- labeled cardiac glycosides, and the biosyinthesis of carbon-14-labeled digitoxin, morphine, colchicine, atropine, podophyllotoxin, and nicotine. The fate and metabolism of many of these drugs were traced. Radiochemical procedures were developed for the synthesis of pure compounds of pharmacological interest labeled with carbon-14, sulfur-35, and trit… more
