An Investigation of Temperature Measuring Techniques for Use in High Power Density Nuclear Reactors

Abstract: "Temperature measuring techniques for application to temperatures up to 2000 deg C have been investigated. Emphasis has been placed on those methods suitable for use in the environment of a high power density nuclesr reactor of particular design. A survey of available techniques is made and evaluated in the light of the general problem. The properties and behavior of materials at high temperatures and in a high flux of particle radiation are discussed. As a result of the preceding considerations and a comprehensive literature search thermoelectric thermometry emerges as the most favorable method. A discussion of thermoelectric thermometry is given and recommendations as to materials and construction of a proposed expedient thermocouple are given. An experimental program leading to a more satisfactory thermocouple assembly is discussed."

Summary Report: AEC Reference Fuel-Processing Plant

From introduction: The primary purpose of this report is to record the bases chosen in setting the Commission's policy on processing charges to assure that individual charges are on a consistent basis in conformance with the policy. Secondly, it may aid reactor operators in estimating the AEC processing charges for a variety of fuels and reactor conditions. It may also be of interest to potential chemical processors by showing the approach followed in developing these charges.

Notes on the Relationship of Uranium Mineralization and Rhyolite in the Marysvale Area, Utah (open access)

Notes on the Relationship of Uranium Mineralization and Rhyolite in the Marysvale Area, Utah

From abstract: A study, consisting of field and laboratory work, was undertaken in an endeavor to establish possible structural mineralization controls associated with the copper-uranium occurrences in the Willaha area, Coconino County, Arizona. Uranium mineralization, apparent at present, is localized along small fissures and vugs and in certain beds and lenses of the middle member of the Kaibab formation(Permian). It is associated with copper and iron oxide staining. Though no definite ore controls were disclosed by this study, at least a limited program of shallow drilling is warranted on the property. This sub-surface exploration should determine possible extensions of known mineralized areas, explore surface radiometric anomalies, and provide data for the determination of possible guides to ore. Deeper exploration may encounter mineralization in other horizons of the Kaibab limestone.
