A Review of Glove Box Construction and Experimentation
A series of fires and explosions in U. S. Atomic Energy Commission facilities handling alpha -active materiais during the last five years resulted in reconsideration of safety problems associated with glove boxes and other equipment used to contain these materials. The literature on construction and operation of glove boxes for work with toxic inorganic materials not requiring biological shielding is reviewed as a contribution to this re-examination, with special emphasis on methods and equipment for working safely with plutonium and other alpha -active materials. An effort was made to point out the direction of current trends in this field. Detailed discussions of glove box designs and methods of experimentation in these enclosures are not included in this report but sufficient information is furnished for finding needed details in the referenced material. Methods for the detection and measurement of alpha -active materials and of impurities in controlled atmospheres are discussed. In addition, the literature on controlled atmosphere enclosures, glove boxes for non- toxic inorganic materials, and the technique of experimenting with such enclosures is reviewed. Some previously unpublished developments are reported. (auth)

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HIGH-FLUX FREE CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER TO WATER UP TO NEAR-CRITICAL CONDITIONS
An investigation was made to increase the basic knowledge of nucleate and film boiling heat transfer to fluids up to their critical pressures. An extensive literature survey of the subject indicated a scarcity of consistent data and an absence of proven methods for analysis. This situation led to the design and construction of experimental apparatus suitable for measuring rates of free convection heat transfer and associated temperature differences for fluid conditions up to 4000 psi and 800 deg F, with provision for visual observation. The apparatus incorporated a stainless steel system for containing the fluid. Ten-mil-diameter cylindrical and 1/8-in.-high vertical-plate platinum test sections were placed in the fluid inside a pressure vessel, 5 in. in inside diameter and 21 in. high. The pressure and temperature of the fluid envirorment were controlled by constant-volume heating of the fluid in the pressure vessel with the aid of seven zones of radiant guard heaters located between the external wall of the pressure vessel and the insulation. Each of these zones was controlled by a differential-thermocouple-sensed circuit that automatically kept the pressure vessel at a prescribed uniform temperature. Fluid pressure was measured with a deadweight tester and a 0-4000-psi Heise gauge. Fluid temperature was …

DETERMINATIONS OF THE KINETICS AND MECHANISMS OF DEBORONIZATION AT 1135 C
The mechanisms and kinetics of the loss of boron during heating at 1135 deg C under various dynamic environments were determined from powder compacts of 5 wt% elemental boron dispersed in matrices of Fe, Cr, Ni, Si, Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/, NiO, and SiO/sub 2/, compacts of austenitic stainless steel alloy powder containing 0.25 wt% boron, and wrought specimens of 0.13 wt% boron-- stainless steel alloy. The compacts containing 5 wt% boron were heat treated in vacuum, highpurity argon, wet helium, and hydrogen. With the exception of those heat treated in hydrogen, significant boron losses occurred only when a supply of oxygen, either from the sample itself or as a deliberate addition to the heat- treating environment, was available. Correspondingly, the loss mechanism is postulated to be the oxidation of boron to boron sesquioxide and its volatilization from the sample. The loss rate is controlled by the volatilization rate of the oxide which is directly influenced by structure of the compact and sintering environment. Independent of the chemical nature of the matrix, boron losses were incurred during heat treatment in hydrogen. Variations of the water content of the hydrogen from 7 to 460 ppm did not significantly influence …

Annual Report 1961
This seventh Annual Report is a summary of some of the progress in scientific and engineering research and development carried on at Argonne National Laboratory during 1961. As is customary in this series, only those portions of the total program that have reached such a stage that they may be of general interest are recorded. Thus, a comparison with the Annual Reports for 1959 (ANL-6125) and for 1960 (ANL-6275) will reveal the description of a generally different set of scientific activities. A more detailed presentation of any work covered in this report or of the many ANL projects not mentioned may be obtained by perusing the various progress and topical reports issued by the Laboratory during 1961. A list of the publications in the scientific journals during 1961 by Argonne personnel has been given as an Appendix.

The Sapir Program System of Automatic Processing and Indexing of Reports
The rapidly increasing volume of new data in scientific and technical fields demands faster and better ways to communicate the new information to those concerned. A working system, System of Automatic Processing and Indexing of Reports (SAPIR), for doing this is described. SAPIR makes use of the Keyword-in- Context Index principle, by which certain keywords, together with surrounding words that act as modifiers, are selected from the titles of the technical publications. These keywords with their modifiers serve as index entries from each title, therefore, there will be as many index entries generated as there are keywords contained in the title. The index entries are sorted alphabetically by the keywords. The first letters of the keywords in each of the index entries form a column in the printed format, which makes scanning for the soughtafter item easier. The SAPIR system is automatic and the list of citations is machine- generated on an IBM 1401 Computer. (auth)

A study of Columbia River surveillance by closed circuit television
Current Practice -- A patrolman observes river traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from a 50 foot enclosed tower located on the bank of the river. Under normal daylight conditions the opposite shore line and bluffs (2,000`) and approximately three miles both up and down the river can be seen by naked eye with close up identification obtained through use of field glasses. For night time operation a manually operated searchlight is used to sweep the river for moving or floating objects. Proposal -- To determine whether it is feasible to replace the patrolman in the river tower with a remotely controlled closed circuit television and searchlight system.

Ecological Sampling and Meteorological Calculation of Fallout on Forests Near Oak Ridge
Spatial patterns of radioactive contuamination on forest foliage were measured by gamma spectrometry and are discussed with respect to local vs. world- wide origin of the fallout and implications for ecology, health physics, and management of nuclear facilities. In September 1959, I/sup 131/ on dogwood leaf samples varied from over 500 mu mu c/g dry wt near Oak Ridge National Laboratory stacks to 1 to 7 mu mu c/g near the margins of the Oak Ridge Reservation. Stack fallout tended to occur closer to the source than was calculated from hourly wind data by an IBM 610 computer program based on Culkowski' s adaptation of the SuttonChamberlain theory of atmospheric diffusion and deposition. Over most of the Reservation levels of Ru/sup 106/ Cs/sup 137/ Zr/sup 9/ >s/sup 5/Nb/sup 95/ and Ce/sup 144/ were similar to levels found elsewhere (2 to 9, 1 to 3, 2 to 9, and 10 to 20 mu mu c/g respectively) and were presumably controlled by weapons fallout. Higher levels were found in small areas and indicate the need for attention to localized contamination, even though indirect estilevels considered hazardous from the standpoint of health physics.

The Snap Ii Power Conversion System Topical Report No. 12. Boiler Development
The SNAP II boilers which were designed are summarized. As shown by test results from the three boilers which were tested, a continuous progress in design was achieved. These designs were based on test data from both the SNAP I and SNAP II programs. As the quantity of data increased, physical models describing the heat transfer process were developed. These physical models provide the necessary correlation parameters which permit the extension of existing data to advanced design. Preliminary test sections were designed on the assumption that an allvapor nmodel which ignores the presence of the liquid phase during forced convection boiling could be used to describe the process quantitatively. The conventional Dittus-Boelter equation was applied with the increase in the vapor flow along the tube being ascribed to liquid evaporation. The assumption led to a design that fell short by about an order of magnitude since the exit qualities were only in the range of 10%, far less than required for complete vaporization. As a result, a revision in the concept of the mechanics of boiling was found necessary and a theoretical analysis was formulated, based on a dry wall'' or dropwise'' type boiling phenomenon. The test results of the …

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMARY REPORT FOR APRIL, MAY, JUNE 1960
7 9 7 D 8 8 9 9 7 7 ; 8 < fuel-reprocessing plant using pyrometallurgical procedures is being designed and constructed as part of the Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2 project. Cable samples sealed with Temporell No. 741 were irradiated to 3.0 x lO/sup 9/ rad. Tests of the absorber-type fume trap were successful. Preparations were continued for high- activitylevel demonstrations of the melt-refining process for EBR-2 core fuel. An attractive and efficient procedure for removing uranium skull material from a melt-refining crucible is to convent it to free-flowing oxide powder by oxidation with a dilute oxygen- argon mixture at 700 to 800 deg C. Two complete runs were made for both demonstrating and pin-pointing difficulties in the drag-out or skullreclamation process. Investigation of the reduction of uranium oxides by liquid magnesium alloys was continued. Two runs were made to demonstrate recovery of plutonium from a magnesium solution by distillation of the magnesium. Operation of a mild steel corrosion loop for circulating a U-Mg- Cd alloy at 550 deg C was terminated after 4800 hr of trouble-free operation. The solubility of titanium in liquid cadmium was found to vary between 0.047 at.% at 449 deg C to 0.15 …

Zero-Power Experiments on the Argonne Low Power Reactor (Alpr)
Results are summarized for zero-power measurements carried out on the AeLPR to stady the characteristics of fuel assembly arrays, burnable poison strips, and control rods. The criteria were stable reactor operation at the design power of 3 Mwt, enough explicit and inherent reactivity for reactor operation for as long as 3 years, and enough control capacity for shutdown at any time during the core cycle. Two reference cores were used in the measurements: a final reference 40-fuel-assembly core for 3 Mwt operation and a reference 59-fuel- assembly loading for possible use at higher power levels in another plant. Aspects of design of the core and control system are discussed. (D.L.C.)
