A Description of a Shock Wave in Free Particle Hydrodynamics with Internal Magnetic Fields

Abstract: "The structure of an extremely strong magnetohydrodynamic shock is discussed in the limit of no particle collisions. It is tentatively concluded that the shock transition takes place through the mechanism of a strong electric field produced by charge separation. The pressure in the shocked plasma is due primarily to a very high electron temperature. The ions, on the other hand, undergo an irreversible temperature change of only 3."

Radioactive contamination in liquid wastes discharged to ground at separations facilities through December 1956

This document summaries the amounts of radioactive contamination discharged to ground from separation facilities through December 1956. Detailed data for individual disposal sites is presented on a month basis for the period of July through December 1956. Previous publications of this series may be referred to for specific information on measurements and radioactivity totals prior to July 1956. Tables I and II list the major disposal sites in separation facilities, total volume of waste discharged to each location, and the gross amounts of plutonium and beta particle emitters discharged to ground since startup. Tables III through XXXVI present this same data on a month to month basis and also include information on the source of the waste stream and the settling facility used. Isotopic data are included for all disposal sites from which the waste was analyzed for specific contaminants. Estimates of contamination and volumes discharged to the swamps are also included.

Results of heat decay test (open access)

Results of heat decay test

During the outages of 9-28-57 and 10-14-57 a test was performed at KW-Reactor to evaluate conditions present during front nozzle replacement programs. The intent of the test was to prove that backflow from the rear crossheader would provide sufficient cooling to prevent slug damage under the following conditions: 1. The reactor has been shut-down at least eight hours. 2. The headers which supply rows of nozzles to be replaced are valved to the relief riser on the rear, and throttled to a header pressure of 26in. on the front. 3. No tubes may be open on the rear. 4. NO tubes closer than five lattice units on the front may be opened at the same time. 5. A maximum of five tubes per header may be open at one time. The test procedure used was to pick a high factor tube at goal exposure, obtain the above conditions, disconnect the front pigtail and remove the nozzle cap. The temperature of the backflow water was used with a previously calibrated thermometer, and the flow was measured with a calibrated bucket. One minute readings of temperature were obtained until the system attained equilibrium after which final conditions were obtained for rear inlet …
