SM-2 Fuel Element Welding Development : Task 5.0 (open access)

SM-2 Fuel Element Welding Development : Task 5.0

Abstract: Development of welding processes for stainless steel fuel elements, previously initiated by Alco Products, was continued in Task 5. Three objectives were accomplished; (1) development of a suitable reference welding process, (2) evaluation by out-of-pile tests of the structural integrity of reference welded fuel elements, and (3) preparation of specifications and fabrication procedures for the reference welding process.

Measurement of the Wolfenstein Parameter R at 210 Mev. (open access)

Measurement of the Wolfenstein Parameter R at 210 Mev.

"Recent theoretical advances in describing the nucleon-nucleon interaction (particularly in the T=1 state) have emphasized the importance of obtaining an unambiguous experimental determination of the scattering matrix so that the nuclear phase shifts and details of the nuclear potential may be revealed. It is possible to select five experiments, the results of which, in principle at least, determine the scattering matrix and phase shifts uniquely at one energy. Two of these experiments, the cross section and polarization over the angular range of 0 to 90 degrees in the center of mass system, have been made at the University of Rochester at a laboratory energy of about 210 Nev."

Precise Measurements of the Mean Lives of µ+ and µ- Mesons in Carbon (open access)

Precise Measurements of the Mean Lives of µ+ and µ- Mesons in Carbon

"The lifetimes of approximately 6 million positive mesons have been measured using a crystal controlled oscillator as a clock. The resulting decay curve was analyzed on the IBM 650 digital computer and gave a mean life of 2,211 plus or minus 0.003 µsec. The mean life of negative mu mesons in carbon was also measured and found to be 2,043 plus or minus 0.003 µsec. The resulting nuclear capture rate is (0.373 plus or minus 0.011)x10 to the 5th/sec, assuming that the decay rate of a negative mu meson bound in carbon is equal to the decay rate of the positive meson."

Compact Control Rod Drive Study For a Boiling Water Reactor in a T7 Tanker (open access)

Compact Control Rod Drive Study For a Boiling Water Reactor in a T7 Tanker

The reason for initiating the compact drive study for the T7 tanker was to investigate control rod drive size, location, and removal space requirement factors and select the control rod drive mechanism which would allow optimization of the over-all size of the containment vessel. Approximately twelve mechanical/hydraulic control rod drive arrangements were considered during this study.
