OMR Control-Safety Rod Component Development Tests

Description: Abstract: A magnetic-jack control-safety rod is under development for the 45.5 thermal megawatt Organic Moderated Reactor. The rod is "unitized," i.e., the poison element, drive, position indicator, and shock absorber are contained in a compact assembly which is inserted in a regular fuel channel opening in the core. Tests to develop components capable of operating under these conditions are described and results are reported.

Sodium Graphite Reactor Materials Survey

Description: >The materials problems associated with the present sodium graphite reactor system have generally been approached by using existing knowledge and data to meet the proposed operating conditions. This discussion reviews the general reactor concept and the specific materials used for the major reactor components: (1) shielding materials; (2) core materials; and (3) sodium cooling system materials. In each case, the materials problems and the materials used to minimize or eliminate these problems a… more

Scintillator correlation and Columbia River radiation survey, March--April 1959

Description: The purpose of the work documented herein was to correlate a new sensitive scintillator for the measurement of gamma dose rates from the reactor effluent isotopic spectrum in the Columbia River. Previous scintillation devices lacked the desired sensitivity for estimating these dose rates. A portable scintillation device was calibrated against ionization chambers over essentially full range of dose rates from the reactor effluent spectrum in the Columbia River. A river survey was then made, comb… more

Reprocessing of Low-Enrichment Uranium-Molybdenum Alloy Fuels

Description: Procedures for the dissolution of U-Mo alloy fuels to prepare feed solutions for low-acid (Redox) type solvent extraction processing are presented. U-Mo alloys can be dissolved in boiling ferric nitrate--ritric acid solutions to higher terminal urarium concentrations and lower terminal acidities without precipitation of uranyl molybdate than in nitric acid alone. Anion resin exchange studies indicate the presence of negatively charged iron-molybdenum complex ions in the solutions. The U-Mo allo… more

Division of Reactor Development Programs Monthly Report- August 1959

Description: Sinterability studies on mixtures of UO2 and PuO2 powders have been continued. All of the censities from previous sintering experiments have been recalculated utilizing a somewhat different water immersion technique. Since densities of pellete obtained by physical dimensions are inaccurate due to chipping, and water immersion does not account for the open porosity, the pellets were coated with clear krylon before being immersed in water. This effectively sealed the open pores. Plots of density … more

Interpretation of Westwood, New Jersey Rainfall Data

Description: "Progress is reported in an evaluation of fission product concentration in rain as a function of time, location, and meteorological setting. Data on rainfall collected at Westwood, N. J., were analyzed for information on the mechanisms of fallout deposition, seasonal variations in fallout, the stratospheric residence time of W/sup 185/ resulting from Operation Hardtack, and the accuracy of pot samplers for sample collection. Data from other collection stations were also analyzed for consistency… more

A Preliminary Study of the Potential to Kinetic Energy Conversion Process in the Stratosphere

Description: The potential to kinetic energy conversion process in the lower stratosphere is evaluated using adiabatically derived vertical velocities for the North American region for a five-day period. Preliminary results suggest the possibility that on the average the kinetic energy of stratospheric motions may not result from a conversion of potential energy within the stratosphere. The further implication is that stratospheric motions are mechanically driven by the motions in the adjacent layers of the… more
