HANFORD STUDIES FOR EGCR COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS. Summary Report (open access)

HANFORD STUDIES FOR EGCR COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS. Summary Report

The temperature, geometry, and flow conditions which exist in the EGCR were duplicated in a mock-up designated as the EGCR Burning Rig to establish the combustion conditions in the reactor. The conditions under which the EGCR Burning Rig will ignite were established and an analytical model was developed which predicts these conditions. Because the Burning Rig cannot exactly dupIicate the reactor situation the final prediction of the safety of the EGCR must rest on computer calculations employing the above analytical model. No advantage in retarding combustion was found in using silicon carbide coated fuel sleeves. The negative results of these tests are due both to the particular geometry of the EGCR moderator and sleeves as well as to the fact that all sleeves tested contained imperfections in the coatings. Chlorine was demonstrated to be an effective agent for extinguishing graphite fires. Concentrations in air of about 1% were observed to extinguish graphite fires at temperatures as high as 1000 deg C. (auth)

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium. Summary Report, September 15, 1961 to September 14, 1962 (open access)

Delayed Failure Hydrogen Embrittlement of Zirconium. Summary Report, September 15, 1961 to September 14, 1962

The extent to which zirconium and zirconium alloys exhibit delayed failure (static fatigue) as caused by a combination of absorbed hydrogen and applied stress was investigated. Susceptibility to time-dependent fracture was evaluated for unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 with 200 and 500 ppm hydrogen as well as for an experimental Zr Al-Sn-Mo alloy and the Canadian Zr-2.5Nb cladding material. For unalloyed zirconium and Zircaloy-2 containing up to 500 ppm hydrogen, no room-temperature, timedependent fracture occurred which could be definitely attributed to the delayed failure phenomenon; an increased grain size, 20% cold deformation by rolling, or corrosion in 750 deg F steam did not significantly affect this behavior. The curve of applied stress versus time to failure at room temperature for the high-strength Zr-Al-Sn--Mo alloy containing 500 ppm hydrcgen established a strong susceptibility to delayed failure due to hydrogen absorption; studies on vacuum-annealed material showed no failures. Further, reduced temperature indicated that the occurrence of static fatigue is temperature dependent. Data for heattreated Zr 2.5Nb containing 500 ppm hydrogen indicated that this material is moderately sensitive to delayed failure at room temperature; higher hydrogen contents caused a greatly increased susceptibility to time-dependent fracture.

Upgrade of the Proton West secondary beamline (open access)

Upgrade of the Proton West secondary beamline

As originally designed and operated, protons entering PW6 were steered by a series of EPB dipoles into a single interaction length beryllium target, some 43 feet from the enclosure wall. Ensuing secondary beams, either p{sup +}/{pi}{sup +} or p{sup -}/{pi}{sup -}, were collected by a string of quadrupoles following the target, steered westward, away from the Proton Center line, through PW6 and PW7, and ultimately focussed on experiment production targets located within the large PW8 hall. Around the Spring of 1988 it was decided to upgrade the existing Proton West secondary beamline to allow for transport of a primary proton beam, anticipated to be either 800 or 900 GeV/c, through PW8. This upgrade project, which is now nearing completion, was largely motivated by the then recent approval of E-771, a hadronic beauty production experiment located in PW8. E-771 represents the third in a series of experiments for the large-acceptance dimuon spectrometer presently located at the end of the Proton West beamline. This Technical Memo is a summary of the upgrade --- an explanation of the underlying strategy and a documentation of the final locations of the secondary beamline elements. 6 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.

Analytical model for the dynamic resistivity of electrically-exploded conductors (open access)

Analytical model for the dynamic resistivity of electrically-exploded conductors

A detailed model for the dynamic resistivity of an exploding conductor presents many difficulties. An electrically-exploded conductor undergoes significant hydrodynamic expansion as it is heated. Resistivity is a function of both the temperature and density of a conductor and realistic models for resistivity over the range of parameter space experienced by an exploding conductor are quite complex. See for example, the model of Lee and More (1984). Calculation of the hydrodynamic expansion of the conductor during and subsequent to the explosion is likewise dependent on detailed knowledge of the equation of state for the conductor in a range where few experimental data exist. A further complication is the strong magnetic field which couples the hydrodynamic expansion to the currents flowing in the expanding material. In spite of the difficulties, progress is being made on detailed modeling of fuses and exploding conductors (Lidemuth and co-workers, 1985). A simpler approach has proved to be quite useful for modeling the electrical behavior of exploding bridgewire and slapper detonators and for modeling the explosionss of large conductors exploded with large capacitor banks. In the work described here, a simple, empirical model was developed which can be expressed as a closed-form algebraic expression involving four …

Dosimetry measurements external to a 10 kiloliter liquid-air vessel containing a D-T neutron source. [14 MeV neutrons] (open access)

Dosimetry measurements external to a 10 kiloliter liquid-air vessel containing a D-T neutron source. [14 MeV neutrons]

To determine the radiation attenuation characteristics of liquid air (109 g/cm/sup 2/ thick) for 14 MeV neutrons from a central D-T source in a 10 kL vessel, radiation dose measurements were made using a large tissue-equivalent ion chamber external to the vessel. The shielding characteristics of steel spherical shells were also investigated. Experimental results were analyzed and compared with TARTNP Monte Carlo code calculations. Degradation of the ion chamber's response to high-energy neutrons was established and incorporated into the analysis. The dose attenuation factor for the unshielded detector was measured to be 0.073, compared with the calculated value of 0.081. The shielded detector signals were reduced only modestly; with a 10-cm-thick shell, the signal from the filled vessel dropped twofold.

THE FABRICATION AND IRRADIATION TESTING OF DISPERSION-TYPE BeO-UO$sub 2$ CERAMIC FUEL MATERIALS (open access)

THE FABRICATION AND IRRADIATION TESTING OF DISPERSION-TYPE BeO-UO$sub 2$ CERAMIC FUEL MATERIALS

Considerations affecting the design of dispersion-type ceramic fuel materials are discussed. The results of measurements made to study the effect of fuel loading on the properties of the fuel bodies and the results of irradiation tests of fuel pellets composed of 20 vol% UO/sub 2/ dispersed in BeO are presented. Experience in the fabrication of dispersion-type BeO --UO/sub 2/ ceramic fuel materials is described. From the results obtained, it is believed that BeO --UO/sub 2/ fuel materials of the type studied will exhibit satisfactory performance in the Experimental Beryllium Oxide Reactor. (auth)

Air Lift Performance at Low Liquid Rates Using Oversized Piping and Lateral Runs (open access)

Air Lift Performance at Low Liquid Rates Using Oversized Piping and Lateral Runs

The use of oversized piping in an air lift for transferring solutions at rates less than 5 liters per hour was proven feasible with certain limitations. Reliable operation was also obtained with air lifts containing a lateral run inserted between the point of air injection and the final discharge point. Discharge of the air lifts, especially at low liquid flows, was very erratic under the conditions studied. (auth)

World nuclear fuel cycle requirements 1991 (open access)

World nuclear fuel cycle requirements 1991

The nuclear fuel cycle consists of mining and milling uranium ore, processing the uranium into a form suitable for generating electricity, burning'' the fuel in nuclear reactors, and managing the resulting spent nuclear fuel. This report presents projections of domestic and foreign requirements for natural uranium and enrichment services as well as projections of discharges of spent nuclear fuel. These fuel cycle requirements are based on the forecasts of future commercial nuclear power capacity and generation published in a recent Energy Information Administration (EIA) report. Also included in this report are projections of the amount of spent fuel discharged at the end of each fuel cycle for each nuclear generating unit in the United States. The International Nuclear Model is used for calculating the projected nuclear fuel cycle requirements. 14 figs., 38 tabs.

NEUTRON FLUX AND Cd RATIO MEASUREMENTS IN THE HN-1 BEAM HOLE FOR THREE FUEL LOADINGS OF THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR (open access)

NEUTRON FLUX AND Cd RATIO MEASUREMENTS IN THE HN-1 BEAM HOLE FOR THREE FUEL LOADINGS OF THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR

Neutron flux measurements were made in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor beam hole HN-l shield plug. at low reactor power (N/sub L/) with three fuel configurations. The purpose of these tests was to determine the most favorable fuel arrangement in the region of the experimental hole in order to permit minimization of exposure time of an in-pile slurry loop experiment using pure thoria. It was found that the perturbed thermal neutron flux decreased by factors of 2, each 1.4 in., at the forward end of the beam hole. Maximum and average fluxes observed for three fuel configurations were: high, 9.7 x l0/sup 13/ , 5.6 x 10/sup 13/; intermediate, 8.0 x 10/sup 13/, 4.7 x l0/sup 13/; and present operating, 7.4 x l0/sup 13/, 3.8 x 10/sup 13/. In the high and intermediate configurations fuel elements were located in the outer row of the lattice adjacent to the beam hole. Cadmium ratios were generally high (22 to 111) implying low available epi-cadmium flux under any of these configurations. (auth)

SUMMARY OF HRT RUN 21 (open access)

SUMMARY OF HRT RUN 21

The HRT was operated experimentally during run 2l at powers up to 5 Mw to explore the limiting conditions of fuel stability and to demonstrate the reliability of the system. The effect of core pressure on fuel stability was investigated over the range from l250 to 1750 psig. Stable operation at 5 Mw (2.6 Mw in the core) was demonstrated at 1250 psig. At 1600 and 1750 psig, fuel instability accompanied by rapid loss of reactivity occurred at powers down to 2.5 Mw. The threshold power for reactivity loss at intermediate pressures was raised by increasing the fuel acid/sulfate ratio from 0.28 to 0.34. In other studies the fuel temperature was varied from 240 to 275 deg C at sev eral different pressures. In some instances the reactor appeared more stable at the lower temperatures. The effects of suspended solids and oxygen concentration were examined briefly without conclusive results. At times during operation at low pressure and high power, an increase in reactivity, indicating deposition of uranium on the core tank, was observed. During an experiment to investigate this effect, a hole was melted in the core near the equator. The reactor was shut down for examination and modifications to …

Longitudinal spin fluctuations in nickel (open access)

Longitudinal spin fluctuations in nickel

The longitudinal and transverse spin fluctuations in Ni have been measured below {Tc} by means of polarized neutron scattering in the momentum range 0.06 < q < 0.18 {angstrom}{sup -1}. In transverse scans spin wave peaks at E{sub q} = Dq{sup 2} appear as expected from early measurements performed with unpolarized neutrons. The longitudinal magnetic scattering {sub {chi}L}(q, E), on the other hand, is quasielastic without any signature of inelastic peaks near E{sub q}. The q and T dependences of {sub {chi}L}(q, E) resemble the paramagnetic scattering above {Tc}, i.e., the linewidth is roughly proportional to q{sup 2.5} and the integrated intensity I(q) is proportional to (q{sup 2} + {kappa}{sub z}{sup 2}){sup -1}. 8 refs., 3 figs.
