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

HIGH FLUX RESEARCH REACTOR (HFRR). Reactor Design and Feasibility Study

Description: Feasibility studies of a high flux, solid fuel research reactor are presented. By means of a parameter study, a reactor consisting of a cylindricai fuel annulus submerged in heavy water is described. The thermal neutron flux peaks in the heavy water adjacent to the annulus and is a maximum in the region surrounded by the fuel annulus.. while the minimum thermal flux occurs in the annulus. The fast flux has the opposite shape. Calculations indicate that practical peaking factors, ratios of maxim… more

Reactor producing 3000 F steam for process heat

Description: A conceptual design is presented for a reactor producing 3000 deg F, 400 psi steam to supply process heat for high temperature endothermic chemical reactions. Specifically, the supplying of heat to a coal hydrogenation plant is studied but other applications are possible. Such a market for nuclear heat is economically interesting because the competition is with the relatively expensive oxygen combustion of coal. It was assumed that in the present state of the art a ceramic heat source could not… 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
