6.70 EV Resonance in U²³⁸

"Using the Brookhaven fast chopper, transmission curves were obtained for the 6.70 +/- .06 ev resonance in U238 using four different thicknesses of natural uranium metal." The measurements for the transmission curves are summarized in the table provided.

Final Engineering Report Covering Austin Beta-Gamma Hand and Foot Checker

Abstract: "This final report discusses the project objectives and the manner in which these were attained in connection with the design and manufacture of the Austin Beta-Gamma Hand and Foot checker (Fig 1). Improvements incorporated to conform the equipment to modern production methods, as well as practical changes to achieve automatic operation and increased stability and to facilitate and simplify maintenance procedures, are covered in detail. The report also includes photographs (Figs. 2 and 3) and a schematic diagram of the final product (Fig. 4)" (p. 1)

Periodic Intercalibration of Temperature Sensing Elements. Section I. First Performance. Test Results DL-S-243 (T-641306)

The purpose of the test was to determine the direction and magnitude of any drift in the temperature sensing elements and the receiver-indicating units for the primary loop and pressurizer resistance thermometers. To obtain intercalibration data for various temperature sensing elements in the primary coolant system. To obtain data on the difference between the calculated signal generated by the BF-3 counters, considering the known rate of decay of the PO-BE source, and the measured values. Determination of temperature sensing element and instrumentation drifts could not be made due to a lack of comparative data. Five temperature intercalibrations were performed using the calibrating Tc resistance thermometers as a standard. The data obtained from the nuclear instrumentation was too erratic to form any conclusions.

To obtain intercalibration data for various temperature sensing elements in the primary coolant system. To obtain data on the difference between the calculated signal generated by the BF-3 counters, considering the known rate of decay of the PO-BE source, and the measured values. Of the 62 core thermocouples observed 19 were either reading less than 400 F or were reading in excess of 20 F from the calibrating thermometer temperatures. In each case the thermocouple was considered defective. The remainder were within 2 per cent of the calibrating thermometers. The primary loop (Norwood Indicators) resistance thermometers all read with 0.2 percent of the calibrating thermometers. No conclusion could be made for the pressurizer temperature instruments or the boiler Tb resistance thermometers, except that the 1A boiler temperature varied 10 F to 20 F from the 1Band 1C boiler temperatures. A laboratory calibration of this instrument will be made. The data obtained from the source range nuclear instrumentation was too erratic to form any conclusion. No drift evaluation on …
