On the Theory of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer. [Part] 5. Comparison and Properties of Electrochemical and Chemical Rate Constants (open access)

On the Theory of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer. [Part] 5. Comparison and Properties of Electrochemical and Chemical Rate Constants

Using a theory of electron transfers which takes cognizance of reorganization of the medium outside the inner coordination shell and of changes of bond lengths inside it, relations between electrochemical and related chemical rate constants are deduced and compared with the experimental data. A correlation is found, without the use of arbitrary parameters. Effects of weak complexes with added electrolytes are included under specified conditions. The deductions offer a way of coordinating a variety of data in the two fields, internally as well as with each those in another. For example, the rate of oxidation or reduction of a series of related reactants by one reagent is correlated with that of another and with that of the corresponding electrochemical oxidation-reduction reaction, under certain specified conditions. These correlations may also provide a test for distinguishing an electron from an atom transfer mechanism. (auth)

Theoretical Analysis of the Exponential Experiment in Natural Uranium (open access)

Theoretical Analysis of the Exponential Experiment in Natural Uranium

Methods of calculating the "Snell Experiment" (the exponential experiment in natural uranium) are examined. It is found that integral transport theory is required for accurate predictions. The effect of spatial transients upon measured quantities is studied and it is found that experiments have not been done in a large enough mass of uranium to achieve an asymptotic neutron distribution. However deviations from the asymptotic values of integral quantities are not large and corrections are calculated and applied to recent experiments. It is shown that the use of recent cross section data improves the agreement between theory and experiment. The relaxation length and all spectral indices are in fairly good agreement except for Np237 to U238 average fission cross section ratio.

THE PRESENT EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STATUS OF THE PROBLEM OF ELECTRON EJECTION IN THE ALPHA DECAY OF Po$sup 21$$sup 0$ (open access)

THE PRESENT EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STATUS OF THE PROBLEM OF ELECTRON EJECTION IN THE ALPHA DECAY OF Po$sup 21$$sup 0$

The experimental measurements of electron ejection in Po/sup 210/ decay are discussed, and the theory of the process is outlined. The order-of-magnitude discrepancy between theory and experiment that was evident a decade ago has not yet been definitively resolved. The discrepancy is ascribed to an inadequacy of the theory, in particular to the use of an asymptotic expansion in that theory. Brief mention is made of some very recent unpublished calculations by G. W. Schaefer in which a reasonable estimate of the K-ejection probability is obtained by a procedure that avoids the asymptotic expansion. (auth)

Monte Carlo Calculations on Intranuclear Cascades (open access)

Monte Carlo Calculations on Intranuclear Cascades

The basic assumption of the Serber model in the description of high- energy nuclear reactions is that the interactions of incident particles with complex nuclei can be described in terms of individual particle-particle collisions within the nucleus. Calculations were performed making use of the basic assumption of the Serber model, a more realistic nuclear model, recent cross-section data, and an exact statistical sampling technique. The sampling technique has not been used previously in calculations of this type. Calculations were performed for incident e (as Fe/sup 59 /sup +/, e (as Fe/sup 59 /sup -/, neutrons, and protons on nuclei from lithium to uranium. The energy range of the incident particles varied from about 50 to 350 Mev, i.e., the energy region in which pion production is not likely. Free-particle cross sections were used in determining the collisions within the nucleus, and statistical sampling techniques were used throughout, The problem was coded for the IBM-7090. Extensive comparisons with experiment were made and the results indicate that the calculation can be used to predict most of the cascade data for incident nucleons on complex nuclei, but only the gross features of the data are predictable for incident pions on nuclei.

Operating physics factors with zirconium tubes at the K Reactors (open access)

Operating physics factors with zirconium tubes at the K Reactors

This document lists the physics factors for the K Reactors following the transition to the KV fuel element geometry and zirconium tubes. Each new parameter with the zirconium tube lattice has been calculated relative to the factors used with aluminum tubes and the KIV fuel elements. The purpose of this document is to provide working values for plant assistance use during the transition to the zirconium lattice. In some cases, where there are large uncertainties in the absolute values, the conservative end of the range has been provided for present operational use in safety and control administration. Refinement and publication of ``best`` values for the zirconium lattice based on the extensive experimental and calculational studies are included in future Reactor Physics Unit programs.

Interim report experience with PT IP-467-C reducing minimum downtime (open access)

Interim report experience with PT IP-467-C reducing minimum downtime

The length of the minimum outage, or period of time during which a reactor must remain subcritical following a shutdown from equilibriu, is a direct function of the available excess reactivity. In reactors with unlimited safety system capacities, it is quite feasible to ``build in`` sufficient excess to allow complete override of the shutdown xenon transient, and thus, in effect, reduce the ``minimum downtime`` to zero. Present Hanford production reactors do not possess this unlimited capacity, and thus total pile reactivity must be restricted by minimum safety strength conditions. Any effort to increase the pile reactivity must therefore be tailored to satisfy existing Total control and Speed-of-control criteria. Production Test IP-467-C. ``Reducing Minimum Downtime,`` was designed to evaluate the economic benefits of a system in which base reactivity can be increased in periods of minimum control requirements, and correspondingly decreased when reactivity or safety considerations become more demanding. The purpose of this document is to summarize initial operating history and results obtained under the production test.

Instrumentation for Fission Fragment Energy Correlation Experiments (open access)

Instrumentation for Fission Fragment Energy Correlation Experiments

From International Conference on Nuclear Physics with Reactor Neutrons, Argonne, Ill., Oct. 1963. Experiments were performed in which the kinetic energies of correlated fragment pairs from thermal- and resonance-neutron-induced fission were measured. In addition, a three-parameter ternary fission experiment was performed in which the energies of correlated fragments were measured in coincidence with the energy of a third emitted particle, usually a long-range alpha particle. The detectors were large-area silicon surface barrier detectors. The instrumentation associated with these experiments is discussed in detail. The complete system is described, with attention given to the problems of background reduction (fast-coincidence requirements), stability, linearity, and resolution. Particular attention is given to the reduction of spectrum distortion by pile-up pulses (alphaon-fission pile-up within the amplifier resolving time). Methods and limitations of pile-up detection are discussed. A new method for inspection and removal of pile-up pulses is described. (auth)

Draft of physics sections to 100-N technical manual

The information presented is a collection of most of the physics information available for the New Production Reactor. The details of some of the physics information, particularly those dealing with exposure and temperature effects, are by no means to be considered the final word since there has been no experimental verification of these effects. However, the gross physics characteristics described are felt to be reasonable representations of the expected physics behavior of N Reactor and should serve as useful guides throughout the startup planning and initial operation.

A pressure vessel to be used with the linac to measure neutron spectra of poisoned solutions for moderator temperatures up to about 600 l F was constructed. A 150-kv positive-ion accelerator was added to the linac facility to produce 2.5 and 14-Mev neutrons from T(d,n) and d(d,n) reactions. The 14-Mev neutron yield is about 10/sup 11/ neutrons/sec. Facilities for measuring neutron spectra were rearranged to eliminate systematic errors; reorientation of the 16-m detector bank necessitated remeasurement of the sensitivity of the bank as a function of neutron energy. Sensitivity of the 50-m bank was also remeasured. The effects on spectra of the scatterer, the location of pulsed neutron sources, the precollimator location and opening, and the linac intensity were also evaluated. To obtain information on the reliability of flux values predicted by standard transport theory approaches, angular dependent and scalar spectra were measured in 4- and 2-in. slab geometry and were compared with theoretical spectra. One-dimensional slab measurements were analyzed with the DSN and THERMOS codes. Results show that …

BETA-RAY SPECTROMETER WITH REDUCED SPHERICAL ABERRATION (open access)

BETA-RAY SPECTROMETER WITH REDUCED SPHERICAL ABERRATION

Modern {beta}-ray spectrometers are based upon the concept, first introduced by Svartholm and Siegbahn in 1946, of focusing in both the radial and vertical directions. The theory of axially symmetric devices has been carefully studied by a large number of workers, culminating in the analysis, in 1956, of Lee-Whiting and Taylor. These last authors calculate aberrations through the sixth order and show that by appropriate choice of the magnetic field a spectrometer can be designed with a relatively large transmission and a high resolution. The acceptable transmission is remarkable because the second-order 'spherical' aberration in the median plane of the image cannot be made to vanish identically, and consequently the design is forced to a tall thin aperture (or a slightly less advantageous short wide aperture) which a priori would seem to imply a low transmission. It is the purpose of this communication to show that if the arbitrary restriction to axially symmetric fields is removed, then both the radial and the vertical contributions to the 'spherical' aberration can be made to vanish in second order. That azimuthally varying field (AVF) afford the freedom to accomplish this end may well be suspected in view of the technological revolution that the …

The Determination of  k∞ From Measurements on a Small Test Sample in a Critical Assembly (open access)

The Determination of k∞ From Measurements on a Small Test Sample in a Critical Assembly

Abstract. The determination of the infinite multiplication factor, k∞ , from measurement son a small test sample was investigated by both theoretical and experimental techniques. Theoretical relations were developed to calculate the error in the measurement due to a mismatch between the flux ratios in the critical assembly and those of the test sample. Experiments were carried out at the Hanford Laboratory of the General Electric Company with the PCTR, to obtain values of the multiplication factor for comparison with the theoretical results. Calculations with two-group theory gave results that agreed with the experimental results when the test sample, with natural uranium fuel, was surrounded by a buffer region of the same material. When this buffer region was loaded with highly enriched fuel, the errors in the measured values were not predicted by the two-group theory. Three-group theory relations were derived which gave calculated values in agreement with the experimental values and indicated that a mismatch of the epithermal neutron group leads to the measured differences in the value of k∞ for the two buffer types.
