Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide (open access)

Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide

It has previously been shown that the polymer formed in solid state polymerization of acrylamide is amorphous in spite of the fact that the reaction takes place within a crystalline solid. The stage at which it becomes amorphous is not known at present. Work with dilute solid solutions of acrylamide in propionamide suggests that this occurs after the addition of, at most, a very few monomer units.

Separation of Beryllium from Fission Products in a Nitrate Medium - Preliminary Experiments Using Solvent Extraction (open access)

Separation of Beryllium from Fission Products in a Nitrate Medium - Preliminary Experiments Using Solvent Extraction

Preliminary experiments using acetylacetone in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to separate major quantities of beryllium from fission products are reported. Using 2M beryllium solutions, decontamination factors of the order of 10/sup 3/ were obtained with trace quantities of the more important fission products. This is sufficiently encouraging for the work to be repeated at higher activity levels.

State of Matter at High Pressure (open access)

State of Matter at High Pressure

Abstract. The region where exact thermodynamic description of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature is possible is located. In the remaining region various approximate theories and empirical relations are discussed. These considerations are applied to hydrogen to locate the density and pressure at which the diatomic bond collapses. Also the approximate conditions are determined at which no bound electron states exist.

Cost Estimation for Nuclear Reprocessing Plants : a Comparison of Methods (open access)

Cost Estimation for Nuclear Reprocessing Plants : a Comparison of Methods

A comparison of methods of capital cost estimation used for nuclear fuel reprocessing plants shows that, because of the special nature and complexity of such plants, cost estimation methods for conventional chemical plants involving the use of cost factors are not applicable and will give low estimates. Cost factors which are available from other countries where reprocessing plants are installed should be used with caution since those factors apply only for the particular design philosophy used and pertain to industrial conditions which are different in this county. Capital cost estimation methods involving direct take-offs from detailed design drawings are necessary to obtain reliable estimates. The methods of estimating operating costs for nuclear reprocessing and conventional chemical plants are similar.

Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period July 1 - December 31, 1962 (open access)

Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program, Semiannual Report for Period July 1 - December 31, 1962

This technical report describes development work done on zonal centrifuge systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant during the period July 1 to December 31, 1962 under the Joint National Institute for Health-Atomic Energy Commission Zonal Centrifuge Development Program. A basic purpose of this project is to develop new methods for isolating virus particles associated with cancerous cells and tissues. Three classes of rotor systems capable of separating particles ranging in size from whole animal or plant cells to protein or nucleic acid molecules on the basis of either sedimentation rate or density alone have been developed. Experiments with phage particles indicate the feasibility of large-scale virus isolation by continuous-flow centrifugation, followed by isopycnic banding in cesium chloride and velocity sedimentation in sucrose - all steps being carried out sequentially in the same rotor. Zonal rotors using the reorienting gradient principle for molecular separations have been tested to 141,000 rpm (formula). Previous work on zonal centrifugation and future plans for this program are discussed.

Numerical Solutions for Diffusion in a Sphere, Cylinder, and Plate (open access)

Numerical Solutions for Diffusion in a Sphere, Cylinder, and Plate

In calculating diffusion coefficients for gases diffusing from solids, the numerical solutions tabulated by Darken and Gurry, were found to lack the required precision, and the intervals between the arguments were too great to permit precise interpolations. Consequently the diffusion equation solutions of interest (diffusion from a sphere, cylinder, and plate, for the condition that the concentration of the diffusing species initially uniform) were re-evaluated. Computer programs for the three cases were written in FORTRAN for the IBM 7090. The solutions programmed are given in Crank. Values of the fractional completion were computed at approximately 0.01 increments, to the nearest 0.00001, and are tabulated in Table 1 to the nearest 0.0001. The table covers the fractional range from about 0.04 to 0.99. For smaller fractions satisfactory approximations are available. The table may be conveniently interpolated by plotting points about the region of interest and drawing a curve.

Tory II-A Instrumentation System : Brief Description (open access)

Tory II-A Instrumentation System : Brief Description

Abstract. The Tory II-A reactor is a small, air cooled, high power-density reactor which is to operate at quite high temperatures. Design of the reactor is essentially complete. First operation is scheduled for late 1960 at the Nevada Test Site of the Atomic Energy Commission. Since the reactor is unshielded, the control room which houses the recording and indicting equipment is located approximately two miles from the test bunker. Signals from reactor and facility transducers are amplified in the test bunker and transmitted by cable to the control point. The kinds of quantities measures include neutron flux level, temperatures, pressures, vibration amplitudes, strain and air mass flow rate. The recording and indicating system is centered around 258 channels of 1.5 cycle per second, pulse-width modulation tape recording equipment and 72 channels of 120 cps, analogue strip-chart records. In addition, there is a number of the usual meters, scalers and slow-response strip-chart recorders.

Chemistry of the "Silver Reactor" (open access)

Chemistry of the "Silver Reactor"

The use of a reactor charged with silver nitrate coated packing for removal of radio-iodine from the waste gases of Hanford chemical processing plants has been successful in removing approximately 99.5 percent of this activity. Studies by the Radiological Sciences Department indicated the desirability of further reducing the amount of radio-iodine released to the atmosphere. Therefore, this study was undertaken with the objectives of better understanding the inherent limitations to iodine removal by reaction with silver nitrate, and improving the efficiency of removal of iodine.
