Analysis of Spurious Modes in Magnet Power Supply (open access)

Analysis of Spurious Modes in Magnet Power Supply

"The resonant frequencies of the magnet power supply are investigated. It is found that there are eleven resonant modes in addition to the desired mode of operation with six additional resonant frequencies. From measurements of the choke model, it appears that the frequencies of some of the spurious modes may lie in the same range as the desired mode of operation."

Effect of Quadrupole Lenses (open access)

Effect of Quadrupole Lenses

"The effect of correcting quadrupole lenses on the betatron oscillation characteristics of an AG synchrotron was studied, and general formulas are given for the fractional changes of the amplitude and phase functions. Calculations performed for different setups of different numbers of lenses for the CEA synchrotron structure point out that one may correct for sizable errors in the n- value by means of 8 pairs of quadrupole lenses in two consecutive straight sections with the focusing lens between defocusing sectors and vice versa. An increase of BETA /sub max/ of about 5% is obtained for DELTA n/n approximately 0.04. It was found that the necessary corrections can probably be obtained satisfactorily with lenses of 6 in. length. "

Melting Point of Th-U-C Fuel Elements (open access)

Melting Point of Th-U-C Fuel Elements

From the point of view of predicting melting behavior of fuel elements containing fission products after 50 percent burn-up, the fuel can be considered to consist of 2000 moles Th, 150 moles U, 55 moles of rate earth metal, 31 moles of Zr, 25 moles of Mo, 20 moles of Rh-Ru-Tc, and 15 moles of alkaline earth metal. All other fission products are present in too small amounts to have any important effect upon the melting point or will have vaporized. However, the presence of alkali metal vapor should be considered.

The Validity of the Statistical Theory of Pressure Broadening (open access)

The Validity of the Statistical Theory of Pressure Broadening

The statistical theory of pressure broadening is developed for any interaction law in which the potential energy is inversely proportional to some power of the distance between the molecules, including cases in which the forces change sign. This note is intended to prove two propositions: A. When a spectral line is broadened by single impacts of perturbing molecules and the half-width of the line is delta infinity, the statistical theory of broadening is applicable provided delta infinity . R >> 1. In this criterion T is a time comparable to the interval in which the perturbed traverses a distance equal to the impact parameter. B. Far in the wings of a line the statistical theory is always applicable.

Media for Air Cleaning and Air-Assay Purposes : Final Summary Report for Period Ending December 31, 1954 (open access)

Media for Air Cleaning and Air-Assay Purposes : Final Summary Report for Period Ending December 31, 1954

Work was completed on the high-temperature, high efficiency air filter. Technical assistance was given at a large-scale, privately financed run of an all-glass medium. Full-size filers have been produced in quantity and are offered by manufacturers; it is considered that commercial manufacture has been established. A survey was made of air sampling practices at 37 laboratories. Analysis of the survey results indicated that 22 different kinds of air-sampling filer media were in use among the laboratories questioned. We have recommended that air-assay practice be simplified by use of fewer media. A group of five media has been proposed as adequate for meeting all requirements. Laboratory work was done on the development of a high-efficiency, low-ash, all-purpose, air-assay paper. Two methods of approach were tried. In one an effort was made to produce cellulose fibrils in sufficient quantity and quality to act as the fine-fiber component of a filter. Only moderate success was attained. Better promise was shown by combining synthetic organic microfibers with cellulose fibers in a wet-formed sheet. No plant work was undertaken on this item.

Chemical Development Section C Progress Report for October-November 1960 (open access)

Chemical Development Section C Progress Report for October-November 1960

Studies are being made on the recovery of thorium (and uranium) from granitic rock, since this source represents a very large potential thorium reserve for the nuclear power industry. In preliminary leaching studies on 16 granite samples (containing 8-95 ppm thorium and 1.5-16 ppm uranium), maximum recoveries of thorium and uranium ranged 30-85% and 15-65% respectively, and sulfuric acid consumption was high (30-120 lbs H2SO4 per ton of granite). A relatively high acidity was needed to obtain rapid and efficient dissolution of the soluble thorium fraction. The cost of treating granite was estimated at $3.50-5.20 per ton, variations within this range being dependent primarily on differences in acid consumption for different granites. Estimated costs per pound of thorium plus uranium recovered ranged $30-500.

HFIR Reactor Vessel Expansion Problems (open access)

HFIR Reactor Vessel Expansion Problems

The attached memo by G. N. Krouse of Sturm-Krouse, Inc. gives results of a preliminary analysis of the deflections of beam holes due to thermal expansion and internal pressure in the vessel. A partial solution of the problem is suggested. Based on preliminary pressure-temperature data the following deflections were derived: Movement of horizontal beam tubes = 0.046 in. Movement of Engineering facility tubes = 0.117 in. Vertical motion of the vessel at the horizontal beam tubes due to thermal expansion may be eliminated by locating the supports in that plane. That also will reduce the expansion at the point where the slant tubes pierce the vessel wall.

Methods of Controlling Core-Wall Temperatures in Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors (open access)

Methods of Controlling Core-Wall Temperatures in Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors

The problem of controlling the surface temperatures of core vessels in two-region aqueous homogeneous reactors has been examined by analyzing several possible systems for cooling the wall: (1) direction of the inlet core fluid along the wall at a high velocity; (2) passage of heavy water through the wall of a double-wall core vessel; and (3) flow of cool blanket slurry past the wall.

Evaluation of Coated Al2O3 and Tungsten Carbide Bearing-Journal Assemblies in Westinghouse 100A Pump (Summary of Runs S-96A and S97)

Preliminary results of tests wit the Westinghouse 100A pump indicate that Al2)3 and tungsten carbide coated bearing-journal assemblies prepared by the Linde process are not promising as substitutes for the graphitar-stellite combination. The front Al2O3 assembly failed at start-up with water and both front and rear tungsten carbide assemblies failed after 121 hours with water at 245 C.

Acid Formation in the Radiolysis of Phosphorus Esters (open access)

Acid Formation in the Radiolysis of Phosphorus Esters

The radiolytic decomposition of tributyl phosphate has been show by burr to product gases, acids, and polymers. the acids that are formed can limit the usefulness of tributyl phosphate for the processing of radioactive materials. The study of acid formation on radiolysis therefor becomes important to us for the understanding of the mechanism of acid formation, the influence of added materials and the effect of the structure of organo- phosphorous compounds. Samples of purified esters have been irradiated in the ORNL cobalt source. Conclusions: (1) The formation of acid from tributyl phosphate during irradiation with cobalt gamma rays involves a mechanism that is not a primary step. Evidence has been obtained for a secondary reaction that is minimized by the presence of certain compounds. (2) Toluene acting as an inhibitor for radiolytic formation of acid may indicate the usefulness of an aromatic hydrocarbon diluent in processing. (3) The aromatic hydrocarbon, when phenyl, was not effective when it was part of the molecule. (4) First tests revealed that dibutyl butyl-phosphonate produced less acid the TBP and may warrant further consideration for process application.
