HRT CORROSION SAMPLES--ADDITIONAL DATA ON SPECIMENS REMOVED PRIOR TO RUN NO. 20

Description: Results of the examinations of corrosion specimens exposed in the HRT are presented. Specimens examined include core screen samples, core specimen array No. 1, blanket specimen array No. 2, core solution line specimen arrays No. 103 and 103A, and blanket solution line specimen array No. 203. These data include corrosion rates, computed from specimen weight-changes, and results of chemical analyses of scales removed from the specimens or specimen holders. A summary is included of the HRT operati… more

SOME EXPERIENCES IN THE WELD FABRICATION OF REFRACTORY METALS

Description: Discussion is given on the welding fabrication of tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, and tantalum. Properties which make the four refractory metals important are tabulatcd along with titanium which is given for comparison. Extensive evaluation was conducted using the gas, tungsten arc welding process employing both manual and machine welding. Design data were obtained exclusively from machine welded sheet materials. Flash welding, resistance spot welding and brazing, electron beam welding, and high… more

Tertiary Blast Effects: The Effects of Impact on Mice, Rats, Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. Technical Progress Report

Description: A total of 455 mlce, rats, gulnea plgs, and rabbits was subjected to lmpact at velocitles ranglng between 25 ft/sec and 51 ft/sec. The deslred velocities were generated by allowlng the anlmals to free-fall from various helghts to a flat concrete pad. The ventral surface of each anlmal was the area of impact. Problt analyses of the 24-hr mortallty data ylelded LD/sub 50/ lmpact veloclties with 95% confldence limits as follows: mouse, 39.4 (37.4 to 42.0) ft/ sec; rat, ft/sec; and rabbit, 31.7 (30… more

EBR-II Dry Critical Experiments. Experimental Program, Experimental Procedures and Safety Considerations

Description: Revisions in the reactor system and operating procedures necessary for carrying out a proposed dry critical experiment in the EBR-II are described. The safety aspect of the program is considered. The critical experiment will be conducted in the EBR-II prior to filling the primary system with sodium. The facility, experimental program, operational and experimental procedures, and hazards and plant safety are described. (M.C.G.)

Isotopic Sources of Secondary Radiation. Final Report

Description: Recent work on isotopic x ray sources is reportcd. The research was directed toward optimization of high-level isotopic sources and evaluation of their use in typical scientific and technical applications. The resulting experi- mental data are used in obtaining an approximate mathematical formulation of x- ray output as a function of beta energy, target mnaterial, and source configuration. (J.R.D.)

Synthesis and Fabrication of Refractory Uranium Compounds. Summary Report for May 1959 Through December 1960

Description: Activitiee are described in an investigation to develop refractory U materiala for superior reactor fuels. Uranium carbide was prepared by cold pressing in pellets with densitier of 92 to 96% of theoretical. Uranium nitride was synthesized, and it was found that dense specimens (95% of theoretical) could be obtained in N-deficient powder, however in stochiometric compositions the maximum density obtained was 85% of theoretical. In other work dense uranium silicide was prepared and several prope… more

Equations of State for Evolution Studies of Supernovae

Description: Tables of the energy, pressure, and chemical composition for a stellar mixture, originally a pure Fe/sup 56/, are presented as functions of temperature and density. They cover a range of conditions pertinent to the evolution of supernovae, involving the deconiposition of iron into helium plus neutrons, and the later stage of decomposition of helium into neutrons and protons. Relativistic degeneracy of electrons is included in these calculations. (auth)

THE HEAT TREATMENT OF PLUTONIUM

Description: Two groups of plutonium bars, one group containing 165 ppm iron and the other 678 ppm iron were end-quenched from the beta, gamma, delta, delta-prime, and epsilon phases. In general, cooling rate was found to have three striking effects on microstructure. The alpha grain size was found to decrease with increasing cooling rate during cooling from all phases. Upon cooling high-iron plutonium from the epsilon phase, the size of the Pu--Pu6/sub 6/Fe eutectic network decreased with increasing coolin… more

PHASE I REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES FOR POWER PRODUCTION FROM MIXED FISSION PRODUCTS

Description: An investigation was made into the various processes for the fixation of mixed fission products as solids in order to determine the extent they could be utilized as heat sources for thermoelectric generators. Generators of up to ten watts can be designed and built with state-of-art'' thermoelectric materials and mixed fission products soon to be available from the ldaho Falls calcination pilot plant. Mixed fission products from other processes and plants to be on stream'' in this decade will be… more
