ROTATION OF MERCURY: THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF A RIGID ELLIPSOIDAL PLANET

Description: The second-order nonlinear differential equation for the rotation of Mercury is shown to imply locked-in motion when the period is within the range (2T/3) [1-{lambda} cos 2{pi}t/T {+-} 2/3 (21{lambda}e/2){sup 1/2}], where e is the eccentricity and T the period of Mercury's orbit, the time t is measured from perihelion, and {lambda} = (B-A)/C measures the planet's distortion. For values near 2T/3, the instantaneous period oscillates about 2T/3 with period (21{lambda}e/2){sup -1/2}T.

K Reactor uncooled HCR: Equilibrium temperature study

Description: Temperature calculations were made on a proposed design of an uncooled horizonal control rod (HCR) for the K Reactors. The calculations were performed with the aid of a FORTRAN coded heat transfer program for the UNIVAC 1107. The results of the calculations indicate that such a control rod is feasible for.4400 Mw and 5000 Mw operation provided certain precautions are taken. These precautions include assuring good contact between the rod and the graphite in the high flux regions and Providing re… more

Technical requirements and criteria for the coproduct target element

Description: The technical basis and criteria for five requirements are presented. Requirement 1 is that the coproduct target element shall be compatible with the driver element in the environment of the N-Reactor primary loop. Requirement 2 is that the target element shall be compatible with nuclear safety requirements under all credible accident conditions. Requirement 3 is that the coproduct element shall be unmistakable from other fuel element models in use or expected to be in use during the period 196… more
