Flowsheet No. 1: Cesium isolation and packaging

Description: An engineering flowsheet has been prepared for the conversion of an aqueous slurry of cesium-zinc-ferrocyanide into a dry cesium chloride product by the calcination process. Flowsheet No. 1 defines a six-step batch-type calcination operation for processing the slurry into a dry powder for offsite shipment in bulk containers. Some of the advantages to this process are as follows: Product losses are expected to be small, estimated to be less than 0.03 percent; the equipment required to process a … more

Investigation of Ejection Releases of an MB-1 Rocket From a 0.04956-Scaled Model of the Convair F-106A Airplane at Mach Number 1.59

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the ejection release characteristics of the MB-1 rocket from the missile bay of a model of the Convair F-106A airplane with its fin tips retracted at a simulated altitude of 18,670 feet. Successful ejections of the rocket were made at supersonic speeds by applying a combination of ejection velocity and nose-down pitching moment at release.

Separation plant effluent gas measurements for determining plutonium production rate

Description: The use of ion chambers or proportional beta counters is recommended for the measurement of Kr{sup 85} in separations plant gaseous effluent. It will be necessary to evaluate the Xe{sup 133} present if short cooling times (less than about 90 days) since irradiation are used. This can be accomplished through calibration and decay measurements. It is concluded that the Kr{sup 85} evolution could be determined to about {plus_minus}5% with careful measurements.

Altitude performance of a turbojet engine using pentaborane fuel

Description: From Summary: "The primary objectives of the investigation reported herein were to determine the effect of this new combuster design on boric oxide deposition on engine parts and to determine the effect of boric oxide on the performance of multistage turbine. Pentaborance fuel (approx. 130 lb) was used in the engine performance evaluation reported herein. The data presented herein show the engine component and over-all performance deterioration with operation on pentaborane fuel".
