Methods and Techniques of Fallout Studies Using a Particulate Simulant

Description: The fallout hazard and protection factors in current use for large groups of buildings, i.e., urban residential areas, business districts, industrial complexes, government centers, Atomic Energy Commission facilities, and academic and medical institutions, are largely unsubstantiated by experimental evidence. These data are important for personnel protection on a national basis in the event of war and on a local basis in the event of certain types of nuclear accidents. The need for such informa… more

Civilian Power Reactor Program. Part II. Economic Potential and Development Program. Heavy Water-Moderated Power Reactor

Description: The reactor design which forms the base for the current economic status of D/sub 2/O-moderated reactors was estimated from developments in several reactor programs. However, since a heavy water-moderated reactor was not operated on natural U fuel at power reactor conditions, considerable improvement from this current status can be foreseen. A summary of improvements is presented concerning the concept which would result solely from operation of succeeding generation plants without a parallel de… more

Civilian Power Reactor Program. Part III. Status Report on Large (100 and 300 MWe) Heavy Water-Moderated Power Reactors--as of 1960

Description: An evaluation of 300- and 100-Mwe power plants was conducted using ground rules prescribed by the USAEC for this study. Costs corresponding to two average discharged fuel burnups are: 8.6 mills/kwh (8500 Mwd/ metric ton) and 8.8 mills/kwh (7500 Mwd/metric ton) for the 300-Mw plant. Costs for the 100 Mw plant are 14.7 mills/kwh for an average discharged fuel burnup of 6010 Mwd/metric ton. Estimates of future potential indicate that the 300 Mw/sub 3/ (8500 Mwd/metric ton) plant could produce powe… more

The Salt Cycle Process

Description: The Salt Cycle Process is a nuclear fuel processing approach designed for application in compact facilities located at the reactor sites. Irradiated UO/sub 2/ fuels would be processed through a brief sequence of steps and partially purified UO/sub 2/ or UO/sub 2/--PuO/sub 2/ powders recovered, suitable for refabrication into fuel elements. The major steps of the process are the dissolution of uranium oxides in molten NaCl--KCl eutectic by chlorination to form soluble uranyl chloride and the red… more

Thermoelectric Materials. Final Report, January 28, 1959-July 28, 1960

Description: BS> A method for the measurement of thermal conductivities of electrically conducting materials at temperatures in excess of 1000 deg C with a high accuracy was devised. The spatial boron concentration gradient in boron- doped graphite to achieve maximum p-type thermoelectric output was established. The production of an n-type silicon carbide-graphite composit was studied. Theoretical studies produced a detailed picture of the effect of doping on the electronic properties of graphite. A method … more

Coherent Electromagnetic Effects in High-Current Particle Accelerators: [Part] 3. Electromagnetic-Coupling Instabilities in a Coasting Beam

Description: The electromagnetic interaction of an intense relativistic coasting beam with itself, including the effect of a confining nonperfect vacuum tank, or a quiescent rf cavity, is investigated theoretically. It is shown that the resonances that may occur between harmonics of the particle circulation frequencies and the electromagnetic modes of the cavities can lead to a longitudinal instability of the beam. A criterion for stability of the beam against such longitudinal bunching is obtained as a res… more
