Bevatron Operation and Development, VII - August, Septemper,October 1955

Description: The major physics research effort this quarter was directed toward the detection of the antiproton. Negative particles of proton mass were first counted on September 22, 1955. On October 19, 1955 the discovery and identification of the antiproton was announced. Total cross-section measurements for {pi}{sup +} and {pi}{sup -} mesons continued. A study was made of neutron interactions and of the {gamma}-ray decay products of mesons. Proton-proton scattering was done at 2 Bev and 4 Bev using count… more

FUSED SALT HEAT TRANSFER. PART II. FORCED CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER IN CIRCULAR TUBES CONTAINING NaF-Kf-LiF EUTECTIC

Description: Heat transfer coefficients were determined for the eutectic mixture LiF- KF-NaF (Flinak) flowing in forced convection through circular tubes. Heat, electrically generated in the tube wall was transferred uniformly to the fluid during passage through small-diameter tubes of nickel, Inconel, and 316 stainless steel. The variables involved: Reynolds modulus (N/sub R//sub e/), 2300 to 9500; Prandtl modulus (N/sub P//sub r/, 1.6 to 4.0; average fluid temperatures, 980 to 1370 deg F; and heat flux, 9… more

Manufacture of Uranium-Niobium Fuel Rods for Irradiation in the Materials Testing Reactor

Description: Zircaloy-2 clad fuel rods whose fuel was U/sup 238/ -10 wt.% Nb-5 wt.% U/ /sup 235/ were fabricated for testing in the Materials Testing Reactor. The fuel was duplex melted and given a homogenizing heat treatment prior to assembly into extrusion billets. The rods were prepared by co-extruding the fuel alloy in Zircaloy-2 cups, then drawing the rods to size. (auth)

Minutes of Technical Division Steering Committee Meeting, September 13, 1955 -- Savannah River Laboratory

Description: The Steering Committee approved 8 studies related to separation processes, analytical chemistry, waste handling, and recycle development. Safety and security issues were discussed. Appendices detail the financial status of the Technical Division and estimated man months for development studies approved for the Purex Process, tritium separations, thorium recycle, U-235 separations, and 100-, 200-, and 300-Area studies in analytical chemistry development. The status of 25 other Technical Division… more

The Separation of Uranium and Plutonium Isotopes in Chemical Exchange Systems

Description: The theory and results of chemical exchange experiments for separation of Pu and U isotopes are presented. Solvent extraction systems were studied in both aqueous and organic media. Chemical exchange systems are proposed which could yield high separation factors. (W.L.H.)

Time response of a process tube temperature monitor

Description: The effluent water temperature of each process tube of a reactor is indicative of the operating conditions internal to that tube. A temperature monitor which will provide individual tube effluent water temperature on demand has been in use for many years in reactor operation. However, the primary sensing element, as well as other parts of the system, were not suited for installation in the No. 2 safety circuit. During the design of the K reactors, it was shown that a continuous temperature moni… more
