Mass Spectrometer Studies of Ion Sources for One Shot AcceleratorTube (open access)

Mass Spectrometer Studies of Ion Sources for One Shot AcceleratorTube

A simple mass spectrometer using 60 degree focusing was set up to study the (illegible) of the ions produced by various types of sources. A schematic diagram of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, which is to a large extent self-explanatory. The isolation transformer was simply a piece of RG (illegible) cable about three feet long and was used in order to operate the source at high accelerating voltage allowing the collector to be at essentially ground potential. The collimating slits were 0.05 (illegible) wide and were space 4 (illegible-cm?) apart. The coarse slit immediately preceding the collector cup was 0.3 (illegible) wide. The electrometer was the integrating type which indicated the potential due to the charge collected on known capacitance. The vacuum tube voltmeter indicated the potential of the 0.5 (illegible) capacitor due to the total charge reaching the slit system. It thus served as a monitor of the source output for each firing. The neon lamp was a protection for the condenser against breakdown discharges of the tube.

Separations P.E.S. report No. 11: Task 1, activation study, RMA Line 234-5 Building

It was the purpose of this study to determine whether it will be more desirable when activatiing Task I of the RMA. Line to revise the existing remotely operated equipment or to remove existing equipment and install a manually operated facility. It was also the purpose of this study to provide sketches and cost estimates for each alternative which could be used as a guide for preparation of a Project Proposal. At present, the process to be used in Task I has not been established. This study, therefore, necessarily covers only processes similar to those for which Task I was originally designed. Information received from the Process Unit indicates adoption of such a process is probable.

Downcomer for 105KW and KE project CA-512-R (open access)

Downcomer for 105KW and KE project CA-512-R

Sometime was available for development and improvement for future designs before K pile design was authorized. One of the objectives of this development program va was to improve upon downcomer design. It as evident that the proper approach to the problem lay not in duplication because of inadequate facilities as a means of circumventing the resultant effects of failure, but rather in the adoption of a more logical engineering approach -- analyze the cause of failure, profit from the past operating experience and concentrate upon the removal of these inherent difficulties. Accordingly, a downcomer design embodying a superior method of operation was designed and tested. The design minimizes vibration by dissipation of energy through a series of orifice screens rather than impact loading of large parcels of water and turbulent friction. It greatly simplifies the maintenance problems by designing for essentially complete replacement of the downcomer by ordinary maintenance methods. It provides for very rigid construction of the inlet section and 30 parallel flow paths in the vertical portion and thus the problem of blocking the flow has been eliminated. A detailed analysis of the points is presented in this report.

This memorandum discusses four photographs of Failure 250, from Tube No. 2179-C, which are presented to show the type of failure as viewed in the 111-B cave. The first three photographs are successive rotations of the slug, illustrating the split-out portion at the base end of the piece. The fourth photo was focused on the split to show the bulging of the slug and the width of the opening.

SLUG PROGRAM QUARTERLY REPORT FOR APRIL, MAY, JUNE 1953 (open access)

SLUG PROGRAM QUARTERLY REPORT FOR APRIL, MAY, JUNE 1953

Preliminary results are reported on the coating of U by immersion in nonreacting molten Mg saturated with Zr, Ni, or Si. A corrosion analysis of the resulting Mg-- Zr outer coat was performed on one failure occurring in boiling water. Further experiments are described on the corrosion testing of Cu-plated and Zn-dipped U. Improvements in the Zn-dip process are uncertain, however, because hot-dip Zn coats show comparable corrosion characteristics. Investigations have been conducted on the casting of U in cans of Zr,U, and Nb-- U alloys. Information was accumulated on the nature of the bonding characteristics, thermal treatment, and corrosion testing of such canning techniques. A new series of U-Nb alloys has been prepared for the purpose of studying the phase transformations of U. Data are given for the fabrication, phase characteristics, and physical and chemical properties of the series. Resistance-temperature curves were determined for U--Mo alloys, in addition to studies of corrosion and grain size in U--Zr--Hb alloys. A method is proposed for determining the thermal conductivity of U from diffusivity measurements. (C.H.)

The less familiar elements in the Atomic Energy program (open access)

The less familiar elements in the Atomic Energy program

Many factors are responsible for the rapid growth of analytical chemistry during the past ten to fifteen years (This report was written in 1953). One of the most important of these factors is the greatly increased significance to present day chemistry of many elements that in the recent past were principally chemical curiosities. Since the Atomic Energy program is concerned with many such elements, it is of interest to discuss the cause for this concern and the resulting effect on the field of analytical chemistry. A number of pertinent analytical research problems at Hanford are cited as examples.

C Reactor reorificing analysis (open access)

C Reactor reorificing analysis

during the December 1953 extended outage the process water flow at C Reactor was increased and redistributed to allow reactor operation with a 69 tube enrichment ring in the third lattice unit and with the maximum protection afforded by the trip before boiling operational concept. The redistribution was accomplished by the installation of individual venturi flow meters on approximately 1800 process tubes. Flow and pressure requirements were met by the installation of larger diameter conventional Hanford orifices on about 200 tubes. During the outage, the original Panellit gages were replaced with improved Panellit gages equipped with long vane mercoid switches. The purpose of this memorandum is to review and report the results of the reorificing program and to compare them with predicted behavior.
