Critical Masses of Mildly Diluted U²³⁵ Systems Derived from Reactivity Contribution Data (open access)

Critical Masses of Mildly Diluted U²³⁵ Systems Derived from Reactivity Contribution Data

Abstract: "Radioactivity contribution data, obtained from U²³⁵ critical assemblies at Pajerito can be used to predict the effects of diluents on critical mass. The radioactivity contribution data versus radius for diluents in a given assembly may be expressed as a single functional relationship between integral absorption and transport cross sections of the diluents. Using this relation, there can be obtained a general expression for the dependence of critical mass upon volume fraction and the effective absorption and transport cross sections of the diluent."

Results of Experiment 1: FCE Calibration With BORAX Core (open access)

Results of Experiment 1: FCE Calibration With BORAX Core

Summary: The justification of using polyethylene whose hydrogen density of 0.132 gm/cm³ with a distributed void of 15.9 percent as a mockup of water at 70°F and having a hydrogen density of 0.111 gm/cm³ was tested in the FCE. A mockup close to the BORAX core was built and its critical mass determined. Corrections were calculated for differences in the hydrogen desnity and self shielding of the fuel. The effective FCE critical mass agreed with that of the BORAX core to within one percent.

Improved High Voltage Supply and Control Panel for the Nier Mass Spectrometer (open access)

Improved High Voltage Supply and Control Panel for the Nier Mass Spectrometer

Abstract: "The recurrent difficulties experienced in routine operation of the high voltage supplies and main control panels of the standard assay instruments are indicated. New supply and distribution units, which were designed to avoid these difficulties, have been constructed and tested. This report briefly describes these units and presents a more detailed description of a high current power supply and main control panel."

The Adsorption of He3 and He4 on Activated Charcoal (open access)

The Adsorption of He3 and He4 on Activated Charcoal

The adsorption on activated charcoal of pure He3 at 2.5 and 3°K, and of pure He4 at 4°K has been measured. The volume of gas necessary to form a monolayer is approximately the same for the two isotopes. It is shown that capillary condensation does not occur in this adsorbent at low saturations. The data have been analyzed by a number of methods with consistent results.
