Calculation of k-o in a Uranium-Graphite Lattice (open access)

Calculation of k-o in a Uranium-Graphite Lattice

Since the 25 content of the uranium to be used in a MTA multiplying lattice is quite uncertain at present, it is necessary to assume various degrees of depletion in order to estimate the multiplication constant K-o and the production of 49 in an infinite uranium-graphite lattice

The Corrosion of Various Stainless Steels in Synthetic Waste Solutions (open access)

The Corrosion of Various Stainless Steels in Synthetic Waste Solutions

Technical report describing the tests on types 309, 316, and 347 stainless steel. These steels were tested for a total of 779 to 828 hours in three different synthetic waste solutions. Results shoe that the best all-around corrosion resistance to the test conditions was exhibited by 316 stainless steel, but in one solution 347 stainless steel was more resistant. [From Abstract]
