Radiation Damage to Organic Ion-Exchange Materials

From abstract: "The stability of polystyrene and phenolic ion-exchange resins to radiation from a Co60 source and from absorbed Ce144-PR144 was investigated. Sulfonated polystyrene cation-exchange resins lost 10 to 20% of their capacity per watt-hour of radiation absorbed per gram of oven-dry resin, while the quaternary amine anion-exchange polystyrene resins lost about 40%. Phenolic cation-exchange resins lost only 1%."

The Corrosion of Hot-Pressed, Extruded, and Vacuum Cast Beryllium in Simulated Cooling Water for the Materials Testing Reactor (open access)

The Corrosion of Hot-Pressed, Extruded, and Vacuum Cast Beryllium in Simulated Cooling Water for the Materials Testing Reactor

Technical report covering the technology of hot-pressed beryllium production and its rapid advancement toward the end of 1949. Part I is devoted to corrosion studies made on hot-pressed and vacuum cast extruded metal which was considered representative of production. Part II is concerned with the results of tests made on special cast and hot-pressed beryllium which contained added impurities. [From Introduction]

Dynamics of the Supercritical Water Reactor (open access)

Dynamics of the Supercritical Water Reactor

From introduction: "The work described in this report was carried out as part of the feasibility study (ORNL-117) of a supercritical water reactor (SCWR) for use in nuclear propulsion of aircraft. The object of this work was to study the dynamic behavior of a particular design of supercritical water reactor. Numerical results are presented in Appendix I."
