REACTOR FUEL WASTE DISPOSAL PROJECT-PERMEABILITY OF ROCK SALT AND CREEP OF UNDERGROUND SALT CAVITIES. Final Report

Description: A study was made of two problems of salt-cavity storage, namely, seepage of wastes out of formations and closure of cavities due to plastic flow of salt. The results indicate that both problems are negligible; bedded salt is more impermeable than dome salt. Kerosene was found to be nonreactive with dome salt whereas brine solutions showed some interaction. It is concluded that storage of radioactive wastes in salt cavities is feasible. (D.L.C.)

PT-IP-385-C, E-N reactivity matching measurement

Description: The projected E-N load at H Reactor will require a complete change in the type of charge placed in most flattened zone process tubes. Objective of this test is to determine the reactivity of the proposed E-N charge relative to the known natural uranium charge reactivity.

ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM SUMMARY REPORT ON MATERIALS FOR THE GCRE-II

Description: Investigatiors were made of various materials for development of metal- canned and semi-homogeneous GCRE-II fuel element concepts. The materials were studied for application to development of fuels, grapanite, silicon-silicon carbide coatings, metal claddings, carburization barrier coatings, and graphite joining. A survey of the literature showad that uranium carbide fuels are superior to other types for the applications described and that refractory metal or metal carbide fuel coatings appear … more

Nuclear Track Image Intensifier

Description: "The design of the nuclear track intensifier was further analyzed to compare performance with design objectives. A preliminary analysis of the electron optics showed that the tube design suffers a small degree of astigmatism, which is increased in actual tabes by misalignment of parts, One tube was successfully completed and tested. Transit time of electrons from cathode to screen was determined to be 2.5 x 10/sup -8/ sec, 0.5 x 10/sup -8/ sec. Decay characteristics of several standard phosphor… more

Steady-State Radial and Axial Temperature Profiles of an E. G. C. R. 5 1/2" O. D. Through Tube During 1500 KW Operation - Part II

Description: The steady-state radial and axial temperature profiles of an E. G. C. R. 5 1/2" O. D. through tube are determined for the test condition of an attemperated fuel assembly operating at 1500 KW in the loop. The profiles are determined for the case of the central control rod fully inserted and bank insertion to 62 inches (Δk = 0.025). The data are presented in the form of tables and curves.

Status Report on the Pneumatic Temperature Measuring system Studies for the EGCR

Description: The pneumatic temperature probe (PIM) is a device for measuring gas temperatures by utilizing the dependency of the flow of gases through a restriction on the temperature and pressure conditions. The determination is made by measuring critical mass flow across a restrictive element such as a nozzle and by knowing the upstream pressure and other variables pertinent to the critical flow equation, computing the temperature at the entrance to the restrictive element. In practice it has been found u… more
