Uranium Oxide Slurry Pumping Experiments (open access)

Uranium Oxide Slurry Pumping Experiments

Abstract: Experiments on colloid milling and pumping show that uranium trioxide, when carefully dehydrated, can be dispersed in water to form a relatively stable slurry, suitable for a homogeneous slurry pile. At temperatures considerably below those of anticipated pile operation particle size growth occurs attended by increase in settling rate and decrease in viscosity. Theses properties of the slurries may be strongly affected by impurities present as well as by special operating conditions.

Properties of Uranyl Fluoride (open access)

Properties of Uranyl Fluoride

Abstract: Pure UO2F2 is made by reaction between anhydrous HF and pure UO3. Although it is difficult to prepare free of water, it is not very hygroscopic. Prolonged heating at 100-105 degrees releases 99.9% of the water in an aqueous solution; the rate of loss of water is very small after saturation is reached. X-ray diffraction data give a density of 6.2 for the solid. The density of a 1.004 M solution is 1.274; the density of a saturated solution (5.130 M) is 2.400. The densities of F-9 solutions have been calculated from the densities of ordinary aqueous solutions, and the values are compared graphically. Data on the solubility indicate that there is a small increase in the range 25-100 degrees. Recovery of pure F-9 from a solution is hampered by hydrolysis of U)2F2 to give HF. The HF may be held back by addition of UO3 or CaO; the use of the latter, however, makes more difficult the recovery of all the F-9. Molar conductivities of UO2F2 solutions at 25 degrees, as well as the specific conductivities of a 1 molar solution containing various concentrations of UO3, have been determined. The addition of UO3 lowers the conductivity. The low …

The Effect of Neutron Bombardment on the Specific Heat of Graphite at Low Temperatures (open access)

The Effect of Neutron Bombardment on the Specific Heat of Graphite at Low Temperatures

The work described in this technical report was undertaken as part of a larger program dealing with a systematic investigation of changes in the physical prosperities of artificial graphite due to neutron bombardment. Very pronounced among those changes is the increase in the elastic modulus. Since there is a general relationship between the elastic modulus of a given substance and its specific heat, it was expected that corresponding changes will occur in the specific heat. In conclusion, the experiments determined that it appears that the low temperature specific heat measurements of strongly bombarded samples will be helpful for the understanding of the nature and the mechanism of the changes produced by neutron bombardment and annealing.
