Systems for nuclear auxiliary power. Annual report, government fiscal year 1975. [Space and subsea systems]

Description: For the past two decades, programs have been conducted to develop ZrH reactor space power systems. Present development plans for reactor space system components are geared to the development of off-the-shelf standardized reactor components which can be used without modification in either Brayton, thermoelectric (TE), or organic Rankine power systems over a power range of 3 to 15 kW(e). In recent years, national energy programs have highlighted the need to increase production of oil and gas from… more

Integrated system for production of neutronics and photonics calculational constants. Volume 5, revision 1. CLYDE, a code for the production of calculational constants from nuclear data. [For CDC-7600 computer]

Description: In the past several years, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory CLYDE code has been revised and modified extensively. Processing of photon production was incorporated, and the processing of higher-order S/sub n/ transfer matrices was speeded up. A Doppler broadening option was also added. On the other hand, the CLYDE routines that process evaporation models and cumulative probability distributions (I = 5,6) were deleted. The processing of Monte Carlo output was spun off into a separate code, CTART… more

Reliability program plan for the Isotope Brayton Ground Demonstration System (phase I)

Description: The reliability and quality assurance organizational relationships, the methods to be used, the tasks to be completed, and the documentation to be published are presented. The total program is intended to provide the necessary reliability and quality assurance associated with the design, fabrication, and testing of the GDS. It is consistent with the general objectives of the ERDA Quality Assurance (QA) program requirements document ''SNS-1'' dated April 1972 and reliability program requirements… more

HTGR fuels and core development program. Quarterly progress report for the period ending August 31, 1975

Description: Studies of reactions between core materials and coolant impurities, basic fission product transport mechanisms, core graphite development and testing, the development and testing of recyclable fuel systems, and physics and fuel management studies are described. Materials studies include irradiation capsule tests of both fuel and graphite. Experimental procedures and results are discussed and, where appropriate, the data are presented in tables, graphs, and photographs. (auth)

Effect of stress on the microstructure of a graywacke sandstone from the site of the Rio Blanco gas-stimulation experiment

Description: Project Rio Blanco was designed to increase rock permeability in an existing gas reservoir by fracturing the rock with a vertical array of three simultaneous nuclear explosions. The project site was CER Geonuclear hole RB-E- 01, Section 14, T35, R98W, Rio Blanco County, in the Piceance Creek Basin of northwest Colorado. The most essential part of this project was to produce fracturing in, and thereby to increase the permeability of, the reservoir rock. This report contains the results of optica… more

Thorium utilization program. Quarterly progress report for the period ending August 31, 1975

Description: This publication continues the quarterly series presenting results of work performed under the National HTGR Fuel Recycle Program (also known as the Thorium Utilization Program) at General Atomic Company. Results of work on this program prior to June 1974 were included in a quarterly series on the HTGR Base Program. The work reported includes the development of unit processes and equipment for reprocessing of High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) fuel and the design and development of an i… more

Kinetics and mechanism of desulfurization and denitrogenation of coal-derived liquids

Description: The design of the high-pressure liquid-phase microreactor has been completed, and assembly of the reactor system is at least half completed. The analytical techniques available for the analysis of sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds in multicomponent white oil have been thoroughly reviewed, and a satisfactory analysis scheme has been developed. The scheme is centered around high-temperature gas chromatography with a nitrogen-specific detector for analysis of nitrogen-containing organic com… more
