Planar Dynode Multipliers for High-Speed Counting
Technical report discussing a new high-speed electron multiplier using a planar dynode configuration. This multiplier has a total transit time significantly shorter than available in conventional structures of equivalent gain. It also features rise-times generally less than three nanoseconds while providing the large sensitive area of an unfocused configuration. Two basic types of planar dynodes are employed: transmission secondary emission thin films as the early multiplier stages and silver-magnesium modified mesh multipliers as the high current output stages.The relevant gain and pulse-response data for these two types of dynodes are presented. The structure is quite flexible and permits the number and types of dynodes to be easily tailored to a specific application. In particular it will be shown how the number of mesh-type dynodes may be altered to effect a trade-off between current handling capabilities and rise-time characteristics. Several possible combinations of these planar dynods have been incorporated in photomultipliers whose gain, dark current, pulse response, and operating life are discussed.

Subsurface Fracturing from Shoal Nuclear Detonation: Final Report
Abstract: A fracture-evaluation experiment in conjunction with the Shoal nuclear detonation in granite was undertaken to determine the extent of subsurface shock-induced fractures. Preshot and postshot geophysical logs in a hole drilled from the surface through the zone of fractures indicated that fractures extended at least 5.3 cavity radii laterally from the point of detonation. Quantitative measurements of permeability increases resulting from the detonation were planned, but were not completed because of adverse test-hole conditions. General descriptions of the Shoal Project, geology of the test site, and other effects of the detonation are included.

Final Report: The Cesium-137 Power Program

In-Core Instrumentation Development Program Quarterly Progress Report September - December 1963
Introduction: The objective of Project Agreement 22 is to determine the feasibility of using in-core ion chambers to cover the complete reactor neutron flux startup range from 10(4) -5 - 10(13) nv using in-core ion chambers. The counting mode of operation will be used at low neutron flux levels and the RMS voltage fluctuation mode (Campbell Theorem) will be used at high neutron flux levels. The June-September Progress Report (GEAP-4386) shows how the RMS voltage mode can be used, discusses counting problems with long cable and ways of maximizing signal levels. This report discusses primarily the effect of gamma on counting with in-core ion chambers and the range of neutron flux measurable in the RMS voltage mode. Readers are referred to GEAP-4386 for a summary of all previous progress to attain the objective of PA-22.

Mechanical, Fluid Flow, and Heat Transfer Out-Of-Pile Tests on EVESR MKI Prototype Fuel Bundle
Summary: An EVESR MKI prototype fuel bundle was fully instrumented and operated intermittently for a 5-month period at the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Moss Landing Power Station. The vessel was operated up to 1000 psi with steam flows from 3000 to 26,600 lb/h, and steam inlet temperatures up to 825 degrees F. Data was recorded for blowout, vibration, flow distribution, heat transfer and pressure drop. The mechanical integrity of the fuel bundle, riser, and jumper system was satisfactory and considered to be of adequate design. No significant vibrations were noted during the various phases of operation. Average flow distribution in three of the inner tubes showed an average variation of 5 percent from equal distribution. The center and corner tubes were low and the side tube was high. Maximum deviation, from an equal one, measured 12 percent. Blowout of the flooded fuel bundle was accomplished with dry or significantly wet 1000 psia inlet steam, that steadied out to a minimum flow of 1250 lb/h. Blowout times were estimated at less than a minute for all flows above 1250 lb/h, and times in the vicinity of 2000 lb/h were estimated to be in the order of 5 to 15 seconds. …

Preoperational Power Stability Analysis of the Consumers Big Rock Point Plant
Summary: An analytical study of the stability of the Big Rock Nuclear Reactor has been performed for the plant as built, and supplements a previous design stability study. The plant has been determined by this analysis to be very stable under every mode of operation anticipated during Phase I of the development program testing. Even under conservative assumptions of system parameters the minimum calculated gain and phase margins do not go below 13.0 db and 46 degrees, respectively. (Nor are these both reached simultaneously for the same operating condition.) These are characteristics of a very stable, well-behaved system. In addition to this analysis, a second, less conservative series of computations was performed to provide expected realistic closed loop data for comparison with Phase I test results. The most responsive test thus predicted occurs at 60 percent power, 1500 psia, minimum flow, and maximum subcooling. For this case the closed loop peak response of power to reactivity occurs at a frequency of 0.90 cycles per second with an amplitude of 3.90 db. This corresponds to an expected open loop gain margin of 16.5 db and a phase margin of 63 degrees. Although knowledge of reactor transfer function is to be determined …

A Program of Two-Phase Flow Investigation Quarterly Report: Fourth Quarterly Report, January-March, 1964
Summary: The design, construction and assembly of all components were completed during the first contract year previous to December 1963. These efforts, defined by Tasks A-F, are document in (1), (2), and (3). Brief summaries of these completed efforts are given in the introduction to each of the tasks in the text of this report. The digest given below covers only the shakedown and analysis work carried out in the fourth quarter of the first contract year. Task G Shakedown Tests. The photographic procedure has been experimentally defined for the glass test section. Four automatic 35 mm cameras and four strobe light sources have been ordered on ATL funds and their respective mounting arrangements are in place. Roughly ten test runs were carried out in the glass test section during the course of the above work. Satisfactory recorder traces have been obtained on all measurement systems. These systems presently meet the accuracy and linearity specifications initially set. An x-ray void fraction signal adjustment and filtering circuit has been design and installed to provide equal resolution across the test section. Calibration disc inserts have been installed to permit satisfactory beam intensity calibration. Good agreement has been obtained between calculated and measured …
