Echelle Spectroscopy. Seventeenth Quarterly Progress Report (open access)

Echelle Spectroscopy. Seventeenth Quarterly Progress Report

This is the seventeenth quarterly report on our echelle project, as numbered above. Our work this quarter has to some extent been directed towards the Spectroscopy Symposium held at Argonne National Laboratory on February 15, 16, and 17. This report consists principally of brief abstracts of the two papers given at this meeting. Progress since the last quarterly report included completion of the echelle comparator calibration, and the successful production and photographing of the desired spectra of praseodymium and erbium in strong magnetic fields. Considerable interest was aroused by these papers, not only because rare earth spectra are being analyzed, but because of the general applicability of our experimental techniques in producing the spectra.

A Brief Review of thermal Gradient Mass Transfer in Sodium and NaK Systems (open access)

A Brief Review of thermal Gradient Mass Transfer in Sodium and NaK Systems

The fact that material transport does occur under conditions of finite temperature difference in a flowing molten metal system was established. The rate mass transfer was thought to be either diffusion limited or solution rate limited. It is believed that the mass transfer of structural materials in Na or NaK systems is solution rate limited. The limiting process has not been qualitatively or quantitatively confirmed for the Inconel-Na or Inconel-NaK system. Increasing the maximum system wall temperature increases the amount of mass transfer, at least above 1300 deg F. The effect of the total temperature difference across the system on the amount of mass transfer was determined.

Capillary Flowmeter (open access)

Capillary Flowmeter

The HRT leak detector system consists of four headers each of which are connected on one side to a common supply of pressurized water and on the other side by individual tubing to the ring grooves of approximately twenty flanges. There are two methods of detecting the loss of water that are particularly applicable to the HRT: (1) By the loss of pressure in a constant volume system; (2) By the measurement of flow from a constant pressure system. It was determined to investigate the second method which requires a flowmeter capable of measuring flows of .5 cc or less of water per hour. The experiment flowmeter constructed performed almost exactly as the design calculations predicted.

Preparation of Thorium Oxide from ORNL Thorex Thorium Nitrate

Thorium nitrate, recovered from irradiated thorium metal processed in the ORNL Thorex Pilot Plant, was converted to thorium oxide and then to the fluoride in one pilot-plant-scale and two laboratory-scale runs. Activity distributions, decontamination factors, and safety of the process are treated. (D.L.C.)

Inert Atmospheres in Non-Vacuum Chambers for Welding Applications (open access)

Inert Atmospheres in Non-Vacuum Chambers for Welding Applications

In the HRP Welding program, a major part of the welding and fabrication, and some of the testing, is performed using an inert atmosphere. the use of the inert gas consumable arc welding process and dry box welding or other work in a dry box comes within this category. Since much of the work in the project make use of, or requires, inert atmospheres, a general discussion follows of the methods used, description of equipment, processes, quality of atmospheres, purity requirements, kinetics of metal-gas reactions, and the proper application of the equipment and methods use din obtaining the desired results.

Calculation of Wall-Scattered Gamma Radiation Escaping through a Shield Opening - Application to the HRT (open access)

Calculation of Wall-Scattered Gamma Radiation Escaping through a Shield Opening - Application to the HRT

A simplified method was developed for calculating wall-scatter gamma radiation escaping through a shield opening. The method was applied to the HRT and the results showed that next to the line of sight contribution, scattering of the wall of the shield opening was the main contribution to the dose at the rear edge of the shield. Design charts were prepared that give the dose as a function of the gamma source location with the reactor cell.

Preliminary Estimate of the Cost of Production of 10% Isotopic Purity Oxygen-17 by Chemical Exchange

An order of magnitude estimate was made to determine a minimum cost for 10% pure oxygen-17 when produced by a chemical exchange process. the calculations were based on separations factors of 1.03, 1.01, and 1.003. the cost of product was found to vary from $23 per gram for the large factor to $165 per gram for the smaller.

Metallographic Examination of ORNL #1, SHE #2 (open access)

Metallographic Examination of ORNL #1, SHE #2

Small Heat Exchanger ORNL #1, type SHE #2, was removed form test stand B after 2071 hours of operation. Thirty-five samples were removed form the entire heat exchanger. The corrosion found on the outside of the tubes exposed to the fluoride mixture ranged to a maximum depth of .004 inches; however, the frequency of occurrence along the tube wall was heavier at the NaK outlet header, which was the hottest area in the heat exchanger. The depth of attack observed on the fluoride side of this heat exchanger was uniform from header to header and did not exceed .004 inches.

Thermal Conductivity of Beryllium : Literature Survey (open access)

Thermal Conductivity of Beryllium : Literature Survey

Lewis in 1929 determined the thermal conductivity of beryllium metal for the first time. The next measurement reported in the open literature on the thermal conductivity of beryllium was by Powell in 1953. Measurements were also made by Grenell, Linebrink, and Johnson at Battelle Memorial Institute in 1947. Their values are in good agreement with those of Powell.

Extraction of Metal Ions with Di-2-Ethylhexyl Phosphoric Acid

Blake and his co-workers have shown that uranium and other elements can be extracted from acid solutions by various type of organo-phosphorous compounds. Early investigations in the laboratory have demonstrated the applicability of tri-n-alkyl phosphine oxides to the extraction of metal ions from acidic solutions for analytical purposes. This paper is concerned with a similar qualitative investigation of the extraction of metal ions with a di-alkyl phosphoric acid, di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EPHA).

Fuel Costs in Batch- and Continually-Processed Homogeneous Reactors (open access)

Fuel Costs in Batch- and Continually-Processed Homogeneous Reactors

The fuel requirement of a heavy-water moderated, homogenous, power reactor were estimated for a variety of initial loadings, for both bath and continuous methods of fuel removal. This study considered a 12-ft spherical reactor, temperature 250 C, 500 Mw thermal power, 125 Mw electrical power capability, 0.8 load factor, and 4%/year inventory charges for U and D2O. The fuel shipping-and-processing charges were assumed to be $1/gm of fissionable fuel for the "batch" processed reactors, and $0.37/gm for the "continuous" processed reactors, Under these conditions, the minimum fuel costs associated with a 10-year 'batch" operating period were about 1.8 or 3.1 mills/kw-hr, if highly enriched U cost $15/gm or $20/gm, respectively. the analogous costs for the "continuous" processed reactor were about 1.6 and 2.6 mills/kw-hr, respectively.

Effect of Pressure Differentials on Deflection of the Outer Fuel Plates of Brazed APPR Fuel Elements (open access)

Effect of Pressure Differentials on Deflection of the Outer Fuel Plates of Brazed APPR Fuel Elements

One of the considerations in designing a flat plate fuel element is the resistance of the fuel plates, especially the outer plates in the fuel plate array, to deflection and permanent deformation as a result of pressure differentials. An investigation was recently initiated wit the objective of obtaining preliminary information on the APPR-type fuel element to determine the effect of pressure differentials on the outer plates in the fuel assembly. The APPR-1 fuel element consists of 18 flat composite stainless steel fuel plates, joined to grooved 50 mil thick type 304L stainless steel side plates by brazing with Coast Metals N. P. alloy.
