Recording Equipment for Internal Friction Measurements

Description: An apparatus was developed for recording internal friction data in such a manner as to circumvent many of the laborious and time-consuming observations and calculations usually associated with these measurements. An optical lever is used and the passage of the beam across the scale is detected by photoconductive cells. The cells are strategically located so that, when their signals are fed through a multichannel switching circuit to the pens of an operation recorder, a plot of the logarithm of … more

PREPARATION OF HIGH-DENSITY, SPHERICAL THORIUM OXIDE PARTICLES WITH UP TO 10 ATOM PERCENT URANIUM

Description: A discussion is given of a fabrication process for preparing spherical particles of thorium oxides containing 10 wt.% uranium homogenously distributed throughout the thoria matrix from a sol prepared from Th(NO/sub 3/)/sub 4/ reaction with NH/sub 4/OH, in which uranyl nitrate is dissolved. The particles formed are 5 to 50 microns in diameter. The process is felt to be adaptable to large-scale production. (B.O.G.)

Development of Clad Ceramic Fuel Plates by Spray-Coating Techniques. Final Report, Phase I

Description: Activities in a program to develop techniques of plasma spraying clad plate-type UO/sub 2/ fuel elements are reported. The investigation was also directed toward determining the limitations of the process as applied to fuel element fabrication. UO/sub 2/ powder coatings having densities of 90% theoretical were produced. At conditions required for spraying plates, densities of 86% appear to be practical. The rate and efficiency of UO/sub 2/ coating deposition were also determined for various spr… more

FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. Phase II Summary Report, November 1, 1959 to October 31, 1960

Description: Coatings on the fuel element surface and coatings on individual fuel particles are being investigated for retaining fission products in fuel for the Pebble Bed Reacter. Ten fuel element specimens with surface coatings were subjected to varying amounts of high level irradiation. Cracks or pinholes were found in 6 of the coatings. Evidence indicated that the graphite matrix contributed to most of the failures. Release factors of the order of 10/sup -9/ for the Si--SiC coating under high-level irr… more

ULTRASONICS AND CERAMIC COATINGS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2 for July 1 to September 30, 1960

Description: The objectives of the program are to develop ultrasonic methods of determining ceramic-metal bond strength and uniformity. Promising results were obtained using simple scanning and display systems to detect simulated defects. Two different methods were tried, one using solid specimens with the crystals directly attached and the other using specimens immersed in a liquid couplant with the crystals held in precise parallelism with the specimen surfaces. Equally good results were obtained in eithe… more

Development of Clad Ceramic Fuel Plates by Spray-Coating Techniques. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, January-March 1961

Description: The development of plasma-jet spray-coating techniques for producing clad ceramic fuel plates is discussed. Conditions for spraying fused UO/sub 2/ powder were established by depositing cones on stationary substrates. It was found that the arc-gas flow range within which deposition occurs is very narrow. Coatings were made from --200 +325, --270 + 325, and de-slimed -325 mesh fused UO/ sub 2/ powders. To provide data regarding the economics of the process, deposition rates and efficiencies were… more
