PCCF flow analysis -- DR Reactor (open access)

PCCF flow analysis -- DR Reactor

This report contains an analysis of PCCF tube flow and Panellit pressure relations at DR reactor. Supply curves are presented at front header pressures from 480 to 600 psig using cold water and the standard 0.236 inch orifice with taper down stream and the pigtail valve (plug or ball) open. Demand curves are presented for slug column lengths of 200 inches to 400 inches using 1.44 inch O.D. solid poison pieces (either Al or Pb-Cd) and cold water with a rear header pressure of 50 psig. Figure 1 is a graph of Panellit pressure vs. flow with the above supply and demand curves and clearly shows the effect of front header pressure and charge length on flow.

The Nature of the Axioms of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory (open access)

The Nature of the Axioms of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory

"The formulation of field theories by means of Wightman functions is studied. It is shown that, given two field theories that satisfy all the axioms, one can construct a family of Wightmsn fields with the same properties by a process of superposition of Wightman functions. The condition of unitarity is formulated without reference to asymptotic conditions, and it is proved that the Wightman fields constructed by the superposition process (starting with "unitary" fields) fail to preserve unitarity."

NEUTRON LOSSES TO Pa$sup 233$ IN THE AQUEOUS HOMOGENEOUS BREEDER REACTOR (open access)

NEUTRON LOSSES TO Pa$sup 233$ IN THE AQUEOUS HOMOGENEOUS BREEDER REACTOR

Neutron losses to Pa/sup 2//sup 3//sup 3/ in the blanket of the AHBR were computed and compared for two cases: (1) concentration of Pa/sup 2//sup 3// sup 3/ is maintained uniform by continuous mixing, and (2) batches of fertile material are shifted periodically from high- to low-flux regions of blanket. It was found that, if the fertile material is cycled through three radial positions in three days, the loss of neutrons to Pa/sup 2//sup 3//sup 3/ is no more than one per cent greater than if it is mixed continuously.
