ORR Operations for Period April 1961 to April 1962

Description: A summary of the activities in the 4th operational year is presented for the ORR. On-stream time at 30 Mw was relatively steady with 75.4 and 83.7% representing the lowest and highest quarters. Modification of the ball-latch mechanism of the shim-rod-drives is in progress. The primary cooling system bypass control valve was modified and a d-c pony motor was added at the No. 3 primary pump. This addition was made to increase the reliability of adequate water flow for afterheat cooling. A study o… more

Tests of Bearing Materials for the Experimental Through-Tubes in the Egcr

Description: The four experimental through-tubes provided in the Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor will extend directly through the core of the reactor and penetrate both the upper and lower pressure vessel heads. Each tube is anchored in an upper head nozzle and the bottom end is allowed to slide in a lower head nozzle. This lower nozzle is basically a T'' section that provides bottom access to the through-tube and a side access for the piping which connects the throughtube to the experimenter's cell. Due to… more

Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report, November 1961

Description: Openation of a 6-in.-dia foam separation column with Sr/sup 89/ tracer and dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a surfactant and foaming agent was continued. The catalytic oxidation of H/sub 2/, CO, and CH/sub 4/ was studied using a nickel- chromepalladium ribbon catalyst. A Mark I prototype fuel assembly was sheared to within 1.5-in. of the end by modifying the gas hydraulic system of the shear. The force required to shear a highly carburized Mark I fuel assembly ductile tubing. Demonstration of the mec… more

Metabolism of C¹⁴-Carboxyl-Labeled-3-Hydroxyanthranilic Acid in Normal and Neoplastic Mice

Description: The o-aminophenol, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-OHAA) is a metabolite of tryptophan normally present in urine in trace quantities. C14-3-OHAA was given to normal mice and mice with either mammary adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme or ascites tumor to study the influence of these transplantable tumors on metabolism of 3-OHAA.

Special plutonium recycle at Purex

Description: The critical-mass incident at Recuplex has necessitated resumption of reworking Task 1 supernatants through the Purex process. The supernatants contain relatively small quantities of plutonium and will be shipped as treated nitric acid solutions in PR cans. Current plans are to introduce the solutions into the Purex process at the normal rework position, the HAF Make-up Tank E6. This report summarizes the anticipated character of supernatant recycle material, outlines process control requiremen… more

A Comprehensive Study of the Neutron Activation Analysis of Uranium by Delayed-Neutron Counting

Description: The method of neutron activation analysis of U by delayed-neutron counting was investigated in order to ascertain if the method would be suitable for routine application to such analyses. It was shown that the method can be used extensively and routinely for the determination of U. Emphasis was placed on the determination of U in the types of sample materials encountered in nuclear technology. Determinations of U were made on such materials as ores, granite, sea sediments, biological tissue, gr… more

COMPUTATION OF LOSSES DUE TO MULTIPLE SCATTERING OF CHARGED PARTICLES IN THIN FOILS

Description: The losses of charged particles from a detector aperture, due to multiple scattering of the particles in thin layers of material preceding the detector, are calculated with the aid of a high-speed digitai computer. The rootmean-square multiple-scattering angle is computed after the method of Moliere, and graphs are presented for protons and alpha particles scattering in nitrogen, aluminum, argon, copper, silver, and gold, and for deuterons and tritons scattering in aluminum and copper.

Progress in Sintering

Description: Sintering is broadly defined as all aspects of the adhesion, densification, shrinkage, and consolidation which accompanies the reduction in surface energy of a powder compact which occurs upon application of heat and/or pressure. The process of sintering is then further divided into the initiation, material transport, and grain growthrecrystallization stages. A general review is made of each of these stages, noting typical work which has contributed to progress in each area involved. (auth)

Application of SNAP 2 to Manned Orbital Space Stations

Description: The results of a study of the installation and operational characteristics of a SNAP reactor system integrated with a manned space station are presented. The reference system selected was an 11 kw(e) version of a SNAP 2 system employing multiple power conversion units coupled to a single reactor source.
