The Electron-Ring Accelerator Program at Lrl (open access)

The Electron-Ring Accelerator Program at Lrl

A progress report is presented on the activities at LRL in connection with electron-ring accelerators. A two-stage compressor unit (employing only low-intensity beams) has been built, and operated with a 4-MeV 100-mA linac as an injector. Electron rings have been formed and compressed from 20 cm radius to 7 cm radius. A three-stage compression unit has been constructed and is now under test with the high intensity (200 A) 3.3-MeV beam of the Astron injector. The apparatus is described. Design work on a magnetic expansion unit is reported.

Thermomigration of Au/sup 195/ and Sb/sup 125/ in gold and Ni/sup 59/ in nickel (open access)

Thermomigration of Au/sup 195/ and Sb/sup 125/ in gold and Ni/sup 59/ in nickel

Each interface contained a layer of the appropriate tracer and an inert radioactive Hf/sup 181/O/sub 2/ marker. During the temperature gradient anneal, the maximum of the tracer profile at the hot interface shifted with respect to the Hf/sup 181/O/sub 2/ marker. Heat of transport of Au/sup 195/ in gold was found to be 0.80 +- 0.27 eV. This value supports Huntington's theory. The heat of transport of Ni/sup 59/ in nickel was estimated to be 1.3 +- 7.2 eV. The experimentally determined value of the Sb/sup 125/ heat of transport in gold was -2.02 +- 0.23 eV. This large negative number indicates that the charge carrier-impurity ion interaction is the dominant driving force for Sb/sup 125/ impurity thermomigration in gold. This value compares favorably with the theoretical value for the heat carrier-impurity ion interaction of Q* = -0.5 eV for antimony thermomigration in silver.

Thulium oxide fuel characterization study (thulium-170 fueled capsule parametric design) (open access)

Thulium oxide fuel characterization study (thulium-170 fueled capsule parametric design)

A doubly encapsulated thulia wafer, i.e., individually lined wafers stacked one upon another inside a fuel capsule was studied. The temperature profiles were determined for thulia power densities ranging from 8 to 24 W/cc and fuel capsule surface temperatures ranging from 1000/sup 0/F (538/sup 0/C) to 2000/sup 0/F (1093/sup 0/C). Parametric studies were also carried out on a singly encapsulated configuration in which the thulia wafers were stacked face to face in an infinitely long, lined cylinder. The doubly encapsulated wafer configuration yielded a lower centerline temperature than the singly encapsulated capsule. Only in extreme cases of a large wafer diameter in combination with a high thulia power density did the fuel capsule centerline temperature exceed the thulia melt temperature of 4172/sup 0/F (2300/sup 0/C). Results are also given for the maximum radius attainable without having centerline melting when using a thulia microsphere fuel form.

Compact thermoelectric converter. Quarterly progress report, July 1, 1968- -September 30, 1968. Phase II-C

Declassified 30 Aug 1973. An initial analysis of experimental heatup data was compiled to determine the success of module experiments designed to triple the voltage power ratio of standard TEM-9 modules. Accomplishment of this design improvement is extremely significant in the development of tabular module systems having lower power applications. With the increased voltage to power ratio, power conditioning devices will not be required to step up the module output voltage to a more usable level. Heatup data from TEM9AE S/N-1, employing 0.030-inch lead telluride washers and 0.0015-inch mica insulators, correlate very closely with performance calculations. A study was initiated to determine an optimum design for a module to be internally fueled using cobalt60. In addition, alterations to the calculation model TEMOD were made to handle the effects of gamma heating within the lead telluride washers. An experimental test program was defined which would verify the validity of the mathematical model. Additional analytical work was accomplished to correlate predicted axial heat transport rates of heat pipes with experimental data. A study of sodium heat pipe performance data revealed that a sonic vapor velocity can occur in the region between evaporator and condensor sections of the heat pipe to produce a …
