Gamma Rays from the Interaction of 14-Mev Neutrons with Beryllium (open access)

Gamma Rays from the Interaction of 14-Mev Neutrons with Beryllium

Abstract: "The cross section for the Be-9(n, t')Li-7*-->Li-7 + Y(0.477 Mev) reaction has been measured in the vicinity of 14 Mev by detecting the gamma-rays at scattering angles from 30 to 150 degrees. A time-of-flight technique was used to distinguish the gamma-rays from the high neutron background. The cross section drops from 20 mb at 13.6 Mev to 10 mb at 14.1 Mev and then rises to 30 mb at 14.7 Mev."

Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report July 1959

A Lucite model of a multi-stage countercurrent hydroclone solvent extraction apparatus has been constructed and tested with Amsco-water. The diffusivity of Cs 134 tracer in aqueous chloride solution was measured to check the performance of the capillary diffusivity measuring system. The experimental data from four Druhm runs showed that 1/8in. thick graphite liners are usable for reactor temperatures above the boiling point of sodium.

Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel (open access)

Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel

The radiation hazards associated with recycled nuclear reactor fuels will greatly complicate the handling and refabrication of these fuels. This problem is most serious with U-233 and plutonium fuels where the presence of U-232 and the heavier isotopes of plutonium contribute energetic alpha, gamma, and neutron radiations at levels many times that from isotopically pure U-233 and Pu-239. This report summarizes present knowledge of the radiation hazards associated with recycled fuel and the additional data needed to make a thorough evaluation of these hazards.

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein (open access)

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein

A method was developed for the determination of osmium by measuring the absorbancy of osmium tetroxide in CHCl3. The osmium is first oxidized to the octavalent state and the osmium tetroxide which is formed is extracted selectively with CHCl3. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of OsO4 in CHCl3 has a series of absorption bands with peak absorbancies at 282. 289, 297, 304 and 312 mu, and molar absorbancy indices of 1870, 1760, 1640, 1400 and 1000, respectively. For each wavelength the optimum concentration range for the determination of osmium was evaluated by the method of Ringbom. Only chloride and octavalent ruthenium interfere in the determination. By this method, from 0.4, to 3 mg of cesium can be determined with a coefficient of variation of 3 per cent.

Zirflex Dissolution of the Annular Cladding of Simulated Power Fuel Elements (open access)

Zirflex Dissolution of the Annular Cladding of Simulated Power Fuel Elements

The current interest in a tube-in-tube type Zircaloy-2 clad UO2 fuel element for use in the power reactors provided the incentive for a study of the dissolution of cladding from an annular space. The objectives of the study were to compare the estimated rate of dissolution in the annuli with rates on fully exposed metal. Because of an interest from the design standpoint, heat balance data from the study are reported.

Zirconium Tube Rupture from Localized Overheating (open access)

Zirconium Tube Rupture from Localized Overheating

Very little information and data are available on the various physical properties of Zircaloy tubing, especially the high temperature- high pressure failure aspects. As greater use is being made of the low cross-sectional properties of this material in the design and development of reactor components, it was considered desirable to determine the type of failure that would be experienced under conditions of a localized over-heating. This hot-spot could be caused by "cocked" or warped fuel elements coming in direct contact with the process tube, thereby preventing adequate cooling media at the particular location.
