The nonspherically symmetric solutions to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory are given a physical interpretation in terms of an anisotropic fluid model. These solutions have been used previously to predict a phase transition in liquid by He{sup 3} by Emery and Sessler and Anderson, Morel, Brueckner, and Soda. An investigation of the flow properties of such systems is made that involves the calculation of the effective mass for flow in a straight channel and the moment of inertia of a cylindrical container of the liquid. The angular dependent energy-gap characteristic of this type of theory leads to an effective mass for flow that depends on the angle between the axis of symmetry of the fluid and the direction of flow. It also vanishes as the absolute temperature tends to zero, although not as rapidly as for a spherically symmetric gap. The moment of inertia, when the symmetry direction for the fluid and the rotation axis are the same, is simply related to the mass for flow.

The recoil-proton polarization in {pi}{sup +}-p elastic scattering at 310-Mev incident-pion laboratory kinetic energy has been experimentally measured at four scattering angles with scintillation counters. Polarization values obtained, related rms experimental errors, and mean center-of-mass recoil angles are: +0.044 {+-} 0.062 at 114.2 deg. =0.164 {+-} 0.057 at 124.5 deg, -0.155 {+-} 0.044 at 133.8 deg, and -0.162 {+-} 0.037 at 145.2 deg. The sign of the polarization is defined to be positive when a preponderance of the recoil protons had their spin vectors pointing in the direction of {rvec P}{sub i} x {rvec p}{sub f}, where this quantity is the cross product of the initial and final momentum vectors of the conjugate pions. A beam of 1 x 10{sup 6} pions per sec incident upon a 1.0-g/cm{sup 2}-thick liquid-hydrogen target produced the recoil protons, which were then scattered by a carbon target at a mean energy varying with recoil angle from 113 to 141 Mev. The polarization of the recoil protons was analyzed by measuring the asymmetry produced in the carbon scattering. A proton beam of known polarization was used to determine the analyzing ability (measured asymmetry divided by the polarization of the incident protons) of the system at …

A comprehensive phase-shift analysis of {pi}{sup +}-p elastic-scattering data at 310-Mev incident-pion laboratory kinetic energy has been performed. The experimental data utilized include measurements of the differential and total cross sections and of the recoil-proton polarization. The D-wave phase shifts were found to be definitely needed in order to attain an adequate fit to the data. A general search for phase-shift solutions was carried out, using S-, P-, and D-wave phase shifts. One solution--of the Fermi type--was found that fits the data significantly better than any of the other solutions obtained. The calculated errors in the phase shifts of this set vary from 0.4 to 0.6 deg. Because it was felt that these errors might be deceivingly restrictive, the effects of small nuclear F-wave phase shifts on the results of the analysis were investigated and were found to be large; not only are the uncertainties in the original Fermi-type solution increased, but additional sets of phase shifts arise that fit the data well. One of these new solutions is similar to the original Fermi set except that the magnitudes of the phase shifts in this new fit are in general larger than those in the initial solution, and the signs …

This report discusses an outbreak of ruptures in January and February, 1960, which motivated serious consideration of ail phases of reactor operation so that a combined efforts to reduce rupture potential might be made. Items investigated include mixer location, gas composition control, rod movement, rod configuration, tube power, and the axial flux profile of the reactor.

This partially annotated bibliography contains 334 references from papers published from 1945 to 1959 and includes references on the consumable - and nonconsumable - electrode vacuum arc melting process. References are also given on electrode preparation, furnace construction and operation, melting, sintering, vacuum techniques, and theory.

This report is essentially an addendum, to an earlier report which presented energy loss data for various enlarged outlet fitting assemblies for possible use on the old reactors. The current report presents data for another candidate outlet fitting assembly which would tend to reduce the energy losses in the process tube outlet fittings. This outlet assembly was developed by the Materials Development Operation, IPD. The data show that the flexible connector assembly would result in a 6.9 per cent increase in normal single tube flows without modifications to existing headers or nozzles or a 13.5 per cent increase if the existing header (Parker) fittings were reamed to 0.610 inch ID. These percentages are based on comparison with the standard helical connector outlet assembly.

Approximately five years of process improvements, and production line waste handling experience have been accumulated since the newest tank farm, 241-A, was placed into operation. Process improvements and modifications have resulted in waste volume reductions by decreasing the quantity of solids remaining in the liquid wastes from a unit of production. The resulting concentration of fission products has produced mildly boiling solutions in the storage containers permitting further waste volume reductions. Waste handling procedures have been modified to provide safe interim containment of these concentrated wastes, but restrict the usable space in existing facilities. The resulting concentration of fission products in existing facilities has a maximum heat generation rate of 10 tP 15 BTU/hour per gallon stored and the contents have a potential boiling life in excess of the anticipated life of the structure. Concentrations of fission products stored in the anticipated smaller tanks have an average heat generation 75 to 100 BTU/hour per gallon stored. A preliminary design criteria is needed as the basis for an engineering evaluation of tank design concepts to obtain maximum benefits from our operating experiences in the light of the future wastes and the Chemical Processing Department waste management program.

The reaction rate of sodium sulfite was studied as a function of oxygen concentration, Na/sub 2/SO/sub 3//O/sub 2/ ratio, temperature, catalyst, pH and surface/volume ratio.The reaction rate of hydrazine with dissolved oxygen was also studied. Oxygen removal is incomplete when the sulfite to oxygen ratio is leas than the stoichiometric quantity. With the stoichiometric quantities of oxygen and sodium sulfite present, removal is incomplete at 100 deg F in 1 min, at 200 deg F, about 95% of the oxygen is removed in 10 sec and at 300 deg F oxygen removal is essentially complete in 10 sec. With an excess of sulfite present (10 Na/sub 2/SO/sub 3//1 O/sub 2/, molar), 95% of the oxygen is removed at 100 deg F in 10 sec. At 200 and 300 deg F, oxygen removal is essentially complete in 10 sec. The rate of oxygen removal is dependent to some extent on the container material. The sulfite oxygen reaction progresses at a higher rate in boiler water than in feedwater. The reaction rate of hydrazine with oxygen is low compared with the reaction rate of sulfite and dissolved oxygen. No reduction of oxygen was noted over a one-minute period with an excess of …

The extent and location of corrosion, crud deposits, and defects in the ends of the 1-B heat exchanger after removing the handhole covers were determined. There was no visual evidence of pitting or corrosion inside the ends of the heat exchanger. A radiochemical analysis of a smear sample taken from the inside of number one handhole showed the presence of the following isotopes- Fe/sup 59/, Co/ sup 58/, s1>s, and Zr/sup 95/. A radiation survey performed in four handholes indicated a maximum level of 1 r/hr. (W.L.H.)
