Cotton Gin. (open access)

Cotton Gin.

Patent for a new and improved cotton gin. This design "has for its object to so attach the front and rollers to the device that the rollers may be cleaned and freed from trash, burrs, and seed, when necessary, without stopping the gin" (lines 14-18).

Cross Sections for OCUSOL-A Program (open access)

Cross Sections for OCUSOL-A Program

The OCUSOL-A program (ORNL-CF-57-6-4) for Univac is a modification of the Eyewash (ORNL-1925) multi-group, multi-region reactor code. The group=energy-lethargy-temperature relationship are given in Table A. The element code numbers are given in Table B. The cross sections now on the sigma-tape are given in tables in the Appendix numbered with the element code number. This technical report explains the bases for choosing the cross sections.

The Reaction of Zirconium with Uranium Dioxide (open access)

The Reaction of Zirconium with Uranium Dioxide

An investigation of the causes of observed explosive reaction of zirconium-coated uranium dioxide on dissolution in nitric acid was conducted. It was concluded that such a reaction is to be expected. Possible but unconfirmed methods of alleviating the problem are suggested.

Experiments on the Release of Fission Products from Molten Reactor Fuels (open access)

Experiments on the Release of Fission Products from Molten Reactor Fuels

Experiments in the controlled melting of irradiated fuel specimens, particularly of the APPR, STR, and MTR types, have confirmed that prolonged heating in air at temperatures in excess of the melting point results in the release of a large portion of the radioactivity. On the other hand, a moderate amount of heating in air or steam sufficient only to melt a specimen results mainly in the partial volatilization of rare gases, iodine, bromine, cesium, and rubidium. In the presence of air or water vapor, strontium and other fission products are not released. At trace concentration of fission products, slow melting of the APPR plate at 1525 C in air or steam effected the release of 50% of the rare gases, 33% of the iodine, 9% of the cesium, and traces of strontium. After 25% burn-up, the cesium value increased to about 60%. Aluminum alloy of the MTR type, also at trace concentration, upon melting at 700 C released up to 2% of the iodine, 10% of the rare gases, and negligible portions of other fission products. Zirconium alloy of the STR type after 15% burn-up, when melted at 1850 C, released up to 95% of the rare gases, 90% of …

A Preliminary Study of Pre-Solvent Extraction Treatment of Stainless Steel-Uranium Fuels with Dilute Aqua Regia (open access)

A Preliminary Study of Pre-Solvent Extraction Treatment of Stainless Steel-Uranium Fuels with Dilute Aqua Regia

The continuous dissolution of 304 stainless steel and stainless steel-UO2 alloy in dilute aqua regia was studied with subsequent stripping of the dissolver product to remove chloride ion. The process has the advantage of producing, by means of a simple head end treatment, a solvent extract feed in a conventional nitric acid medium so that existing solvent extraction processes, materials of construction and waste disposal methods can be used. The purposes of this study were to investigate the variables affecting the dissolution process and to obtain dissolver scale-up data, and to investigate the removal of chloride from the dissolver product and the variables affecting the stripping operation. A continuous flooded pot dissolver was used. It has the advantages of stability of operation and ease of control in comparison with column dissolvers and requires a minimum of mechanical processing prior to dissolution. Stripping of the dissolver product to remove chloride ion was studied in a 4-in. diameter Pyrex bubble-cap column containing 12 single bubble cap plates. Continuous dissolution rates and dissolver product stainless steel loading were correlated with aqua regia feed composition, acid feed rate and surface area exposed to reaction. Profiles of chloride concentration down the stripping column were obtained …
