The Fabrication of Subassemblies for the Supercritical-Water Reactor

Description: In studies of the fabrication of fuel subassemblies for the supercritical-water reactor, the limited ductility of stainless steel-UO₂ fuel sheet made the fabrication of corrugated-flat-plate-type subassemblies impractical. A fabricable MTR-type assembly, 5/8 in. square and 30 in. long, was developed. Methods for edge cladding fuel sheet were developed and a brazing alloy, GE-75, was found to be corrosion resistant in supercritical water.

The Fission Cross Section f Factor of Pu²³⁹

Description: A presentation of the values for the Pu²³⁹ fission cross section f factor extended into a higher energy range than previously reported in BNL-250. The values were obtained by integrating the standard expression defining the f factor on the Hanford IBM-CPC equipment. The un-fit experimental data of Leonard, as corrected for resolution and doppler effect, was used above 0.03 ev being attached to an analytic fit applicable below this point. Results are shown on the accompanying graph.
