LOW ENERGY CROSS SECTIONS FOR THE D-D AND D-T REACTIONS (open access)

LOW ENERGY CROSS SECTIONS FOR THE D-D AND D-T REACTIONS

Previous computations of cross sections for the D-D and D-T reactions were dependent on the knowledge of the energy loss of deuterons and tritons in D{sub 2}O ice targets. Recent Published experimental data on the energy loss dE/dx of protons in H{sub 2} and O{sub 2} have been sufficiently consistent to correct the results of the measurements of Bretscher, French and Sidel (Phys. Rev. 73, 815 (1948) and 75, 1154 (1949). Without describing the methods used to obtain the new data, the author uses the results of the dE/dx measurements to correct the cross sections of Bretscher et al. A simple correction factor is given, and the corrected values are tabulated for the D-D and D-T reactions. The Gamow formula, modified by a resonance factor, is applied to the revised data, and a good fit to the theoretical slope is obtained.

Metallurgy Division Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending July 31, 1952

Physicsl Metsllurgy of Reactor Materials. Mechanical properties of a series of Th--C alloys ranging in C content from 0.02 to 0.22% wcre determined. The effect of quenching temperature on the hardness of pure Th was investigated. The effcct of aging temperature on the hardness of Th-- Cr alloys was determined. The effect of quenching temperature on the hardness of Th--Cr--C alloys is given. Data are given on the mechanical properties of Ames Th. The effect of cold work on the recrystallization of Th is described. Reactor Component Fabrication. A picture frame method of Zr cladding of U is described. A method of sealing the sheared edge of Zr clad U plate by edge welding is presented. Zirconium cladding of Th is described. Fundamental Physico-Metallurgical Research. A tentative phase diagram of the Ag--Zr system is prescnted. The preparation of In -- Zr alloys by arc-melting methods is described. (W.L.H.)

POWER REMOVAL FROM A BOILIGN REACTOR (open access)

POWER REMOVAL FROM A BOILIGN REACTOR

BS>This work is based on a rather specific and simplified model of the reactor core in which internal circulation exists. Because of the model simplicity, the influence varying some of the parameters appears more directly. In particular, calculation of the circulation factor, which is important in determining the need for vapor separators is included. On this basis it was felt desirable to make the results of this study available even though they have been largely superseded by the later work. (auth)

Heat Exchanger Design Study for the ISHR

The results of a study to determine reliable heat transfer data for the design of a suitable heat exchanger for the Intermediate Scale Homogeneous Reactor are presented. Design studies of a vertical submerged-tube evaporator with nucleate boiling from the outer tube surfaces and of a vertical tube, forced-circulation evaporator are presented in detail. (M.P.G.)

The Density of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions and the Determination of Uranium Concentration by Density Measurements (open access)

The Density of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions and the Determination of Uranium Concentration by Density Measurements

A study of the density of aqueous uranyl solutions is described which was had as its primary purpose the development of an analytical method for the determination of uranium in relatively dilute solutions of this salt. These solutions contain trace amounts of contaminating elements. The presence of small amounts of free sulfuric acid and moderate variations in the temperature at which density measurements are made can be compensated for by the use of equations provided for the calculation of uranium concentration.
