SHIELDING-RESEARCH AREA AT BATTELLE

Description: The design and constructlon of the shielding facility at Battelle are described. This facility consists of an open pool with a fission plate, an instrument bridge and tower, a control room, and radiation-detection instruments. The shielding pool is located at the end of the thermal column of the Battelle Research Reactor (BRR). The fission plate is 28 in. in diameter and contains approximately 3.5 kg of U/sup 235/. The plate was fabricated from three pieces of highly enriched U and clad with ab… more

CHEMICAL INDICATIONS OF HRT MISBEHAVIOR IN RUN 17-A

Description: The cause and significance of the changes in chemical composition of the HRT fuel and changes in reactivity during operation, particularly in run 17A, were investigated. It was concluded that a rise in reactor power level causes deposition of U, Cu, and Ni in some hydrolytic process within the core circulation system in a region which is at a position between zero and average nuclear importance. The deposition requires several minutes to several hours and is relatively easily reversiable when t… more

ELECTROLYSIS CELL FOR RECOMBINATION STUDIES

Description: A small, laboratory-sized loop was designed for steady-state radiolytic gas recombination studies. It consists of an electrolysis cell, which simulates the radiolytic gas formed in a reactor, and a bomb for containing slurry under test. The electrolysis capacity of the system is adequate for the study of slurries having recombination rates as high as 10 moles/hr/liter of slurry at the proposed slurry reactor operating conditions.

THE APPLICATION OF THE CHIP AND SHOT METHODS TO THE PREPARATION OF HOMOGENEOUS ALLOYS

Description: Chip method experiments were performed for the preparation of Th - 9 wt.% U, U - 10 wt.% Nb, and Al--16 wt.% U - 0.2 wt.% B alloys. The work on Th-9 wt.% U indicated that the technique was applicable with oniy slight impairment of mechanical properties and slight increase of oxygen content. Experiments on U-10 wt.% Nb to produce a more corrosion-resistant alloy were not successful. The potential use of the chip method in fabricating alloys with a burnable poison such as boron appeared feasible.… more
