Metallurgical Examination of K-Loop Fuel Elements Resulting from Rupture Incident

Description: The first and third slugs downstream from the H-Loop ruptured and a piece of can wall from the ruptured slug were received from Pile Materials Sub-Section for metallurgical examination. The examination has been completed and the extent and type off aluminum corrosion which occurred on these samples has been determined.

Interim Report Johnston Splined Shaft Deepwell Turbine Pump

Description: The deepwell turbine pumps employed in HAPO Separations Plants have, in general, given good service. However, they do have design weaknesses that were originally recognized as undesirable but which were accepted as a matter of expediency. In an effort to improve reliability and extend life expectancies of such pumps, development work has continued. This report describes the design and preliminary test results obtained with a deepwell turbine pump of improved design.

A Preliminary Study of the Mechanical Properties of M-388, An Aluminum - 1% Nickel Alloy

Description: M-388 is an aluminum alloy consisting of 2S aluminum with an addition of 1% nickel. Preliminary corrosion studies which were conducted by Dreley and by Dillon indicated that the material exhibited excellent resistance to intergranular type of corrosion in distilled water at temperatures of up to 350 C. The combination of a low thermal neutron cross-section and good corrosion resistance make M-388 alloy a candidate material for use in reactor process tubes and fuel element cans. The purpose of t… more

Prelimiary Analysis of the Plutonium Recycle Program Reactor Shield

Description: It is the purpose of this report to present the preliminary analysis of the PRPR shield. The results reflect a considerable degree of conservatism because of uncertainties that were present in the preliminary estimates of neutron and gamma fluxes incident on the shield.

Quarterly Progress Report on Reactor Development 400 Program

Description: Physics calculations have been made for various combinations of the four types of fuel assemblies to be used in the EBWR core. Two thicknesses of plates, 0.205 in. and 0.274 in., including the two 0.020-in. cladding layers, are to be made of both natural U and U containing 1.44% U235. A total of 148 assemblies, 74 natural and 74 enriched, are to be fabricated with six identical plates each. Various configurations of these fuel assemblies will be used to (1) change the critical size of the core,… more

On the Mechanical Properties of Zircaloy-3b

Description: As a result of the fabrication difficulties associated with the use of Zircaloy-2, the development of a zirconium alloy with a higher formability limit was initiated. Preliminary investigations resulted in the selection of three candidate alloys which exhibit resistance to corrosion in hot water and steam approaching that of Zircaloy-2. The nominal alloy compositions of the candidate alloys are: Zircaloy-3a (0.25% Sn, 0.25% Fe), Zircaloy-3b (0.50% Sn, 0.40% Fe), Zircaloy-3c (0.50% Sn, 0.20% Fe,… more

The Manufacture of Enriched ZPR-III Fuel Plates

Description: This report is essentially a procedural account of the fabrication of certain enriched ZPR-III fuel plates for use in the ANL fast critical experiments at Arco, Idaho. A total of 208.92 kilograms of fully enrich, unalloyed uranium was processed. Of this amount 202.74 kilograms was received in the form of Oak Ridge type reduction buttons and 6.18 kilograms as pressed-powder plates. The completed fabrication consisted of 720 rectangular fuel plates having the nominal dimensions 3in. x 2in. x 1/8i… more

Quarterly Report October, November and December, 1956

Description: Methods of producing extremely clean surfaces on rolled Zircaloy-2 strip have been investigated. It has been found that the finer abrasives, 400 mesh or finer, are more effective than coarse types because of their ability to penetrate pits and crevices more readily. Two such cleanings, with an intermediate 35 v/o HNO3-5 v/o HF pickle, resulted in a microscopically clean surface. Ultrasonic inspection of the EBWR fuel plates has been completed during this quarter. Approximately 95% of the plates… more

The Effect of Journalism on Modern American Writing

Description: This paper is an analysis of the relationship between journalism and formal literary usage in America. It is the purpose of this study to define and illustrate characteristics of modern journalese and to make a comparison of standards of correct usage advocated by recent textbooks in English composition and journalism. Particular attention will be given to diction, structure and length of sentences, capitalization, abbreviation, and punctuation. The conclusion will be a brief evaluation of mode… more

Reactor Engineering Division Quarterly Report [for] October, November, December 1955. Section I

Description: The gastight steel building (400,000 cu ft) in which all radioactive components are to be housed has been completed by the Graver Tank Company. This structure was tested for strength at 18.75 psig (20% above design pressure) and then tested for leaks. No leaks were found in soap bubble testing of all welded seams. Continuous measurements of temperature and pressure over a ten-day period showed the leakage, if any, to be less than the 500 cu/ ft/day at 15 psig specified. The gastight cylinder wa… more
