Shielding Measurements at the SM-1 Reactor : June 1961 (open access)

Shielding Measurements at the SM-1 Reactor : June 1961

Abstract: Neutron flux and gamma radiation measurements through the SM-1 primary shield were made at the startup of Core II in June 1961. They extend previous measurements (APAE-35) both vertically and horizontally in the primary shield and in the rod drive pit. Dose rate measurements on spent fuel elements under water are also reported.

Some Comments on the Selection of Operating Temperatures for DPR (open access)

Some Comments on the Selection of Operating Temperatures for DPR

The results of this investigation indicate that maximum electric power generation can be obtained by selecting the turbine steam temperature within a range of plus/minus 30 degrees C. from an "idealized" steam temperature. This "idealized" steam temperature is shown to depend primarily on the maximum permissible uranium temperature. The minimum available condenser temperature and the temperature rise of the coolant in the pile effect the selection of the turbine steam temperature to lesser extent.

Diffusion Parameters of Water for Various Scattering Kernels (open access)

Diffusion Parameters of Water for Various Scattering Kernels

Abstract. Some diffusion parameters of water are computed with various thermal-neutron scattering laws. It is found that the diffusion cooling coefficient, in particular, is reasonably sensitive to the scattering law, but that the diffusion cooling coefficients predicted by the Radkowsky and Nelkin kernels are in fortuitious agreement. The coefficients computed for the Nelkin kernel, when treated in a manner consistent with the way in which experimental data are treated, are in reasonable agreement with the results of a recent experiment.

Preparation of U233 (open access)

Preparation of U233

Technical report. The object of the research is to determine the procedure and equipment for the preparation of U233 on a semi-works scale. The general proposed procedure is that thorium carbonate in aluminum cans will be irradiated with pile neutrons. The Pa233 resulting from neutron absorption the Th232 and the decay of Th233 will be extraction from 99% of the thorium and the natural U in thorium by MnO2 precipitations. The Pa233 will then be allowed to decay to U233 which in turn will be isolated from the remaining Th and partially decayed Pa233 by ether extraction.

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section I. EFPH-5465.2. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231, T-612394

The purpose of the test was to determine the radiation levels in a Reactor Plant Boiler Compartment with the respective loop shut down and the remainder of the plant operating at power. The highest radiation levels recorded in the IC Boiler Compartment were located in the vicinity of the reactor coolant loop pipe penetrations of the Compartment. Except for the above mentioned areas, personnel could continuously occupy the IC Boiler Compartment without exceeding the maximum dose rate of 300 mr per week. The areas in the vicinity of the reactor coolant pipe penetrations, however, could be occupied only 1 to 2 hours per person per week because of the high radiation levers (200-250 mr/hr) present at these locations.

Thorium Bismuthide : Ultrasonic Control of Crystal Size (open access)

Thorium Bismuthide : Ultrasonic Control of Crystal Size

Thorium bismuthide when crystallized from a solution i bismuth results in large platelets which may be as large a 1 centimeter in diameter. A slurry of these platelets is difficult to pump through pipe lines and filters. The particle size can be reduced by (1) very rapid cooing (approximately 1000 degree C per second) or (2) ultrasonic treatment. The latter, much easier to attain in large scale, gives equiaxed particles of thorium bismuthide.

During the past year, three papers covering results of a major series of experiments on intergenotype of blood-forming tissue have appeared, demonstrating successful implantation of isologues normal cells in anemic hosts, permanently correcting their genetic defect in hematopoiesis, both with and without irradiation of the host. Heavy host irradiation was shown ineffective as preparations for implantation of homologous cells of widely different antigenic types.
