Alternative actions on the K stack problem (open access)

Alternative actions on the K stack problem

On June 6, 1958, KW Operations had HCR Channel No. 16 borescoped to determine why this rod could not be inserted on May 3. Observations revealed 3X balls in the channel and horizontal separation between graphite blocks ranging from 1/2 inch to 2 1/4 inch. The separations were noted only in the first fifteen feet in from the outer skin and in the last five feet of the channel. As a result of these findings and past operational difficulties with certain HCR`s at both KE and KW Reactors, a program of measurements is in progress to determine the extent and causes of the stack displacements. From measurements and observations so far obtained, the following conclusions may be drawn about separations at locations of consequence to the loss of 3X balls from channels: Side to side horizontal separations totaling two to three inches have been observed at both reactors. The significant separations lie outside of the VSR pattern and in the lower half of the stack. The VSR pattern does not include the six outer ball 3X channels. There are probably a few small separations (< 1/2 inch) at the outer VSR`s. There are probably no separations large enough to admit …

An Ultracentrifugal Method for the Determination of Serum Lipoproteins (open access)

An Ultracentrifugal Method for the Determination of Serum Lipoproteins

A convenient method was developed for the ultracentrifugal analysis of all classes of serum lipoproteins which requires a minimum of time, work and materials. The method utilizes the principle of flotation of lipoproteins in a medium of greater density than their own hydrated density. In this procedure the isolation and the analysis of lipoproteins are done in a NaBr mediumn of density 1.20 g/ml. The advantages of this procedure are compared with other available methods, and its application to studies on serum lipoprotein is discussed. (auth)

Extrusion of Unclad Natural Uranium and Molybdenum-Natural Uranium Rod for TRX. Report on Experiment 7c4 (open access)

Extrusion of Unclad Natural Uranium and Molybdenum-Natural Uranium Rod for TRX. Report on Experiment 7c4

Extrusion of unclad billets of both natural U and 12 wt.% Mo natural U was employed for producing unclad rods subsequently machine finished to .600 deg diameter and to random lengths which were fitted into assembly 4' long. Indications are that the extrusion of unclad natural U and its alloys is feasible within certain qualifications. (auth)
