OXYGEN 18 EXCHANGE REACTIONS OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES

Description: Using infra-red spectroscopy, the equilibrium exchange times have been determined for a series of ketones, aromatic aldehydes, and {beta}-ketoesters reacting with oxygen 18 enriched water. These exchange times have been evaluated in terms of steric and electronic considerations, and applied to a discussion of the exchange times of chlorophylls a and b and chlorophyll derivatives.

Thermo-physics technical note No. 56: a parameter study of properties and mechanisms affecting the reentry ablation of SNAP fuel particles

Description: The results are presented of a parameter survey of the properties and mechanisms affecting the reentry ablation of SNAP fuel particles. The following properties and mechanisms were studied: aerodynamic heating, oxidation, oxide vaporization, metal vaporization, particle emissivity, specific heat, density, velocity, and initial size. These studies were made for particle release altitudes ranging from 170,000 to 228,000 feet.

Quality and availability of fission-products

Description: The information contained in this report was copied from carts used for discussions at Richland on May 4--6, 1965. Representatives of the Martin Company, US Rubber company, General Electric -- HAPO, and AEC-RL00 were present. The data represent the best current information on the quantity, quality, and availability of each fission product considered, i.e., strontium-90, cesium-137, promethium-147, and cerium-144.

Technical Services: Testing of NASA fuel elements for Battelle Columbus

Description: We are pleased to enclose copies of our Work Statement and Cost Estimate as a subproject to your program to nondestructively inspect the fuels on your NASA-Lewis contract. This confirms our telephone call and teletype of November 19, 1965 from Mr. Chockie to you. As we understand, the duration of this agreement should extend over the next six or nine months and will probably include the inspection of one or two fuel elements singly; later on, three batches of five elements. Accordingly, we reco… more

KE downcomer development Test-IP-778

Description: This test was performed to investigate the effects of increased reactor flow upon the downcomer pressures and water levels. Recent theoretical studies had confirmed earlier ones that indicated a relatively weak downcomer approach box structure with an allowable working pressure of 4 psig. Since a flooded approach box would yield pressures in excess of 4 psig on the lower approach box plates and since downcomer flows approaching the flooding point were planned, experimental values of the downcom… more

Thorium processing nuclear safety review

Description: A review of the nuclear safety aspects of a proposal to process about 150 to 250 tons of thorium containing about one kilogram U-233 per ton has been made. The review was made at the request of the Chemical Processing Department in whose Purex plant the thorium processing will be carried out. The review group finds that the proposed operation can be conducted with no more risk of criticality than attends the standard plutonium processing in Purex, provided the safeguards planned by the Departme… more

Neutron absorption lithium detector

Description: It is planned to manufacture ceramic target elements for use in N-Reactor. The potential exists for overdilution of the lithium-aluminate with aluminum powder. One method of nondestructively determining the target element type is by neutron absorption. This technique makes use of the different thermal neutron cross sections of aluminum and lithium. The target element to be tested is placed between a neutron counter and a neutron source--the neutron count with the unknown sample is then compared… more

Decommissioning of the Special Metallurgical Building at Mound Laboratory

Description: The Special Metallurgical Building at Mound Laboratory, a building of 18,515 sq ft of floor space, was decommissioned. This decommissioned facility formerly housed 238PU processes for the fabrication of radioisotopic fueled heat sources. The 238PU work was conducted in 585 linear ft of gloveboxes occupying approximately 12,600 sq ft of the building. All of the gloveboxes, process services, building services, interior walls, and ceilings were removed to the point of exit at the roof. Eighty-five… more
