PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT STEAM SEPARATOR DEVELOPMENT (open access)

PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT STEAM SEPARATOR DEVELOPMENT

Development of a steam separator the Pathfinder Reactor is reported. A full-scale separator model was developed through the combination of scale-model testing and the application of principles associated with the existing theory of centrifugal separation. This model was put through full-scale air-water tests which led to modifications and a final design which meets Pathfinder requirements. Design data are included for the reactor and the steam separator. (J.R.D.)

Spert I Destructive Test Program Safety Analysis Report (open access)

Spert I Destructive Test Program Safety Analysis Report

The water-moderated core used for destructive experiments is mounted in the Spent I open-type reactor vessel, which has no provision for pressurization or forced coolant flow. The core is an array of highly enriched aluminum clad, plate-type fuel assemblies, using four bladetype, gang-operated control rods. Reactor transients are initiated at ambient temperature by step-insentions of reactivity, using a control rod which can be quickly ejected from the core. Following an initial series of static measurements to determine the basic- reactor properties of the test core, a series of nondestructive, self-limiting power excursion tests was performed, which covered a reactor period range down to the point where minor fuel plate damage first occurred -approximately for a 10- msec period test. These tests provided power, temperature, and pressure data. Additional kinetic teste in the period region between 10 and 5 msec were completed to explore the region of limited core damage. Fuel plate damage results included plate distortion, cladding cracking, and fuel melting. These exploratory tests were valuable in revealing unexpected changes in the dependence of pressure, temperature, burst energy, and burst shape parameters on reactor period, although the dependence of peak power on reactor period was not significantly changed. An evaluation …

Secondary Isotope Effects in Molecular Structure (open access)

Secondary Isotope Effects in Molecular Structure

A study was made to determine whether secondary iso tope effects also occur in molecular structure. Electron diffraction studies were carried out on ethane and deuteroethane. In C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ the mean C-C and C-H bond lengths found agreed very closely with values determined for other paraffin hydrocarbons, and the C--H bond showed a normal primary isotope effect (~ 0.005 A) similar to that found in methane when H is replaced by O. The output of the leastsquares analysis suggested that the mean C-- C bond length in C/sub 2/D/sub 6/ is shorter than in C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ and by about 0.004 A. Th e decrease seemed to be real for the apparent uncertainty was not much greater than 0.001 A. (M.C.G.)

SL-1 ANNUAL OPERATING REPORT, FEBRUARY 1960-JANUARY 3, 1961 (open access)

SL-1 ANNUAL OPERATING REPORT, FEBRUARY 1960-JANUARY 3, 1961

>The plant was operated from Feb. l959 until Jan. 3, 1961 when a nuclear excursion rendered the plant inoperable, A summary of operations is presented for the period Feb. 1960 until the incident. Plant operational tinwe during the period was 78% of that available. Satisfactory operation of conventional plant equipment was observed during 196 startups and scrams. An inspection of fuel assemblies after 700 Mwd showed no damage except to the B-Al strips attached to these assemblies. A greater than predieted gain in core reactivity was attributed to boron loss. Control rod sticking occurred 53 times ln 2,730 cases of operation. Test results on a PL-type condenser showed that its performance meets design rating. Steam quality remained greater than 99% for power levels up to 4.7 Mw(t) and radiation in the main steam system continued to be satisfactorily low. Waste handling requirements were increased but posed no problem. (J.R.D.)

Mortality in Small Animals Exposed in a Shock Tube To "Sharp"-Rising Overpressures of 3-4 Msec Duration. Technical Progress Report (open access)

Mortality in Small Animals Exposed in a Shock Tube To "Sharp"-Rising Overpressures of 3-4 Msec Duration. Technical Progress Report

A total of 661 animals was exposed to sharp''-rising overpressures of 3 to 4 msec duration using a shock tube of novel design which produced a pressure pulse similar to that obtained with high explosives. The reflected shock overpressures associated with 50% lethality were 29.0, rabbit, respectively. Other observations included the time of death in mortally wounded animals and gross pathological lesions likely to contribute to mortality. Selected data from the literature bearing upon the influence of overpressure and pulse duration on lethality were reviewed. These included pulse durations ranging from less than 1 msec to 8 sec. The critical pulse duration, that duration shorter than which the overpressures required for mortality increases sharply, was noted to depend upon animal size and to be of the order of many hundreds of microseconds to very few milliseconds for smaller'' animals and a few to many tens of milliseconds for larger'' animals.
