Li⁶ and Li⁷ (n. 2n) Cross Sections at 14.1 Mev

Abstract: "An absolute measurement of the 14.1-Mev (n, 2n) cross sections of Li-6 and Li-7 has been made using the large scintillator technique, resulting in cross sections in barns of 0.070 +/- 0.006 and 0.056 +/- 0.005 for Li-6 and Li-7, respectively."

Time Dependence of the Beam in the 86-Inch Cyclotron (open access)

Time Dependence of the Beam in the 86-Inch Cyclotron

In the preliminary stages of getting up a time-of-flight system for measuring neutron spectra from proton reactions, a study of the time dependence of the beam in the 86Inch Cyclotron was made. This study revealed the expected bunching of the protons to produce a short burst of beam on each cycle of the 13.4 Mc/s accelerating voltage. In addition to the 13.4 Mc/s structure, however, there was a 360 c/sec modulation of the beam pulses and a complicated pattern built upon that.

Alpha Particle Detection and the A. C. Operated Detector "A" (Howler) (open access)

Alpha Particle Detection and the A. C. Operated Detector "A" (Howler)

Abstract: This discussion concerns the operation, construction, and servicing of an alpha rate meter of medium sensitivity (30,000 alpha particles full scale per minute) and good stability. The instrument is equipped with an oscillator which increases both in frequency and loudness as the alpha activity is increased. The oscillator circuit includes an anticipator which causes a change in frequency depending directly upon the rate of change of alpha activity. Maximum sensitivity is approximately 100 millivolts full scale. Grid current varies from 1 to 5 x 10^-14 amperes. A general discussion of time constants and accuracy is included. Tables of stopping power, ionization and alpha activity are appended.

Activation Energy for Fission

Abstract: The experimentally determined exponential dependence of spontaneous fission rate on Z^2/A has been used to derive an expression for the dependence of the fission activation energy on Z^2/A. This expression has been used to calculate the activation energy for slow neutron induced fission and photofission. The correlation with the experimental data on these types of fission seems to be quite good.

Effects of Receiver Slots on Quantity and Quality of Product and Recycle

Abstract: "Variations in receiver slot design produce changes in quantity and quality of product and recycle, not only instantaneously, but also as a function of time in approaching equilibrium. The case of fixed feed concentration and fixed inventory of Uranium is described here for standard and Dip-Lip wider R slot receivers. The effects of the two types of receivers on recycle and product X and W concentrations, X production rate, plant X utilization efficiency, integrated X production and effective mass output are shown graphically."

Corrosion Status: Sulfex-Thorex (Ni-o-nel) and Darex-Thorex (Titanium) as of June 12, 1959

Either system appears to be fairly satisfactory from a containment standpoint. Current results indicate probable over-all rates of about 0.2mils/mo for titanium vs. 1.5-3.0 mils/mo for Ni-o-nel. Tests are not 100% comparable due to changes made in flowsheet conditions, but have been of sufficient variation and length as to allow good predictions to be made. Both metals show some tendency toward local attack in Thorex solutions. These tendencies are increased by poor welding techniques.

Darex Pilot Plant Studies

The Atomic Energy Commission has assigned the Hanford Atomic Products Operation the responsibility of providing the technology and facilities for the interim reprocessing of slightly enriched uranium fuels discharged from power and propulsion reactors. The fuel from the various reactors vary greatly in physical dimensions and in the composition of the core and cladding. For the purposes of chemical reprocessing, the fuels may be divided into the three main categories of aluminum, Zircaloy or stainless steel clad elements. The fuels may be sub-divided by the nature of the core material; e.g. metallic uranium, uranium dioxide, uranium-molybdenum alloys uranium-aluminum alloys, etc.

Effect of the PRTR High Pressure Loop on Plutonium Recycle Program Objectives (open access)

Effect of the PRTR High Pressure Loop on Plutonium Recycle Program Objectives

For purposes of an earlier consideration of the effects of in-reactor test loops on PRTR operation and program, the design of the high pressure, H20 cooled fuel test loop was assumed to be similar to that for the high pressure, gas cooled loop. Detailed design criteria for the H20 loop have recently been completed so that this assumption is no longer necessary. Therefore, to insure that the effects of all proposed in-reactor loops are fully evaluated with respect to Plutonium Recycle Program objectives, the present study has been carried out. Much of the qualitive discussion in the original analysis is still considered valid. Thus, rather than repeating the entire analysis as it pertains to the H20 loop, only those departures resulting from differences between the assumed design and the scope design are presented.
