Self-Shielding Measurements in PPA-20 (open access)

Self-Shielding Measurements in PPA-20

From Introduction: "The self-shielding characteristics of a number of absorbers and of U-235 and U-238 have been investigated in PPA-20 (66°). Most of the measurements have been made in Ring 3 at the core mid-plane. The foil doubling technique was employed. Particular attention was given to 'thin' foil regions for the purpose of extrapolating the data to zero thickness."

Radiochemical Analyses for Fe, Cr, Ni, and Co Corrosion Products (open access)

Radiochemical Analyses for Fe, Cr, Ni, and Co Corrosion Products

Abstract: Radiochemical and carrier techniques have been applied to the determination of minute amounts of Fe, Cr, Ni, and Co which appear as corrosion products of Inconel. The results are as follows: Fe, 0.061 per cent; Cr, 0.15 per cent; Ni, 0.037 per cent; and Co, .0005 per cent.
