POLARIZATION IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING FROM 670-3750 MeV/c

Description: Using a polarized proton target, we have measured the polarization parameter P({theta}) in pion-proton scattering for both positive and negative pions. Because there seems to be a great deal of current interest in the analysis of pion-proton scattering we wish to present these experimental results at this time even though we have not yet completed their analysis. The measurement consisted of scattering pions from polarized target protons and observing the asymmetry in scattered intensity, I({th… more

04 nuclear safety: pressure piping crack monitoring detection of metal overstress by acoustic emission. Progress report, July-September 1966

Description: The three main areas of effort have been: (1) definition of the general acoustic response pattern related to the gross aspects of forming and extending a crack in various materials, (2) development of a monitor system prototype concept exclusive of transducers and (3) development of a suitable, high temperature transducer. Tests using double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens of various materials to establish conditions of crack formation and growth have indicated that material ductility is a majo… more

Design criteria for phase II dummy hydraulic core for containment systems experiment reactor simulator

Description: The design of a Phase II dummy hydraulic core for the CSE reactor simulator is described. The core will be a scale model having features typical of PWR or BWR reactor cores, and will include control rods and associated support mechanisms, fuel elements, a thermal shield, top and bottom core guide and support plates, and flow baffles. The core and simulator vessel will be instrumented to provide measurement of temperature, static and differential pressures, forces on core components, and rarefac… more

LAWRENCE RADIATION LABORATORY COUNTING HANDBOOK

Description: The Counting Handbook is a compilation of operational techniques and performance specifications on counting equipment in use at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley. Counting notes have been written from the viewpoint of the user rather than that of the designer or maintenance man. The only maintenance instructions that have been included are those that can easily be performed by the experimenter to assure that the equipment is operating properly.

PLUTONIUM HANDLING AND CONTROL PRACTICES AT PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABORATORY

Description: One of two major facilities used for plutonium fuels research and development studies at Battelle-Northwest is the Plutonium Fuels Laboratory (PFL). This facility was specifically designed and equipped for research and development studies involving multikilogram quantities of plutonium and its mixtures, compounds, and alloys. As at other sites, the design and operation philosophy of the PFL is one of complete plutonium containment. Primary plutonium containment is provided by glove boxes, secon… more

Prestressed Concrete Reactor Vessel Model 1

Description: From introduction: The goal of engineers associated with nuclear power plants is the achievement of safe plants with low generating costs.One possible means of lowering costs is to increase the power generating capability for a single generating unit. To accomplish this, the sizes of nuclear reactors have been increased.

Oralloy cost for production reactor fuel use

Description: A study of relative plutonium and orallay values is being made by representatives of the production sites under direction of AEC Headquarters. Division of Production. (Oralloy is uranium enriched to 93-15 percent U-235.) Under study assumptions that will be detailed later, oralloy would cost less than formerly, and may be cheap enough to enrich production reactor discharged uranium to reactor input assays. To date uranium recycle enriching assays have been held below two percent U-235 -- usuall… more
