Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Gash farm, Oak Hill, Oklahoma. “It’s a long way from the seed bag to the milk pail,” as Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Gash ponder ways to get grass in a hurry on their sandy dairy farm. They are using Coastal Bermuda on part of it and NKI-37 [Bermuda grass] on another part. Soon they should choose one. OK-957-3.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Gash farm, Oak Hill, Oklahoma. The Gash’s say $92 for this little dab of Bermuda seed had better get results. They are discussing seedbed preparation and planting methods for a first class job. They also have a new tractor ready to go. OK-957-2.

Hazards and Experimental Procedure Evaluation for Studies on the Polymerization and Hydrolysis of Plutonium in Uranyl Nitrate and Nitric Acid Solution at Elevated Temperatures (open access)

Hazards and Experimental Procedure Evaluation for Studies on the Polymerization and Hydrolysis of Plutonium in Uranyl Nitrate and Nitric Acid Solution at Elevated Temperatures

Because of the danger of precipitation of polymerized Pu/sup 4+/, a research program was initiated for studying the polymerization of Pu/sup 4+/ in the UO/sub 2/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/--HNO/sub 3/ system. Th e present state of knowledge concerning the polymerization of Pu/sup 4+/ is reviewed, and the program is discussed in detail, including equipment and procedures. The program is evaluated from the viewpoint of hazards, health physics procedures, and personnel safety. (D.L.C.)

HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE ARMY PACKAGE POWER REACTOR SM-1, TASK XVII (open access)

HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE ARMY PACKAGE POWER REACTOR SM-1, TASK XVII

The SM-1 is described and the various hazards are reviewed. Because of the reactor's location near the nation's capital, containment is of the utmost importance. The maximum energy releace in any possible accident is 7.4 million Btu which is completely contained within a 7/8-in.-thick steel cylindrical shell with hemispherical ends. The vapor container is 60 ft high and 32 ft in diameter and is lined on the iside with 2 ft of reinforced concrete which provides missile protection and is part of the secondary shield. All possible nuclear excursions are reviewed. The energy from any of these is insignificant compared to the stored energy in the water. The maximum credible accident is caused by the reactor running constantly at its maximum power of 10 Mw and through an extremely uniikely sequence of failures, csusing the temperature of the water in the primary and secondary systems to rise to saturation, whereupon a ruptare occurs releasing the stored energy of 7.4 million Btu into the vapor container. If the reactor core melts during the accident, a maximum of 1.5 x lO/sup 7/ c of activity is released into the vapor container. While it is highly improbable for a ruptare of the vapor …

Hazards Summary Report for the Army Package Power Reactor : SM-1, Task XVII

Preface. This technical report is an updated and revised version of the original SM-1 (APPR-1) Hazards Summary Report. The original report was issued July 1955, almost two years before construction of the SM-1 plant was completed. During that time interval there were numerous design changes. Consequently, the original report does not accurately describe the plant as built. This revision is written after the SM-1 has been operated 3 years. It describes the as-build plant and includes plant modifications and experience obtained during the first 3 years of SM-1 operation.

HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTORS PROGRESS REPORT, APRIL 1960 (open access)

HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTORS PROGRESS REPORT, APRIL 1960

Safeguards analyses of the isolated coolant Icops of the HWCTR indicated that accidental loss of ccoling water from the Icop heat exchangers will not lead tc vaper binding of the Icop D/sub 2/O pumps, or to other detrimertal consequences, providing that the reactor is scrammed following the loss of coolant. Several static seals of the types that will be used in the HWCTR exhinited leakage rates that were well below design specifications during cyclic tests at peak conditions of 1500 psi and 260 deg C. From full-scale experiments with lattices of seven-rod clusters of natural uranium metal at various lattice spacings in D/sub 2/0, values for the bucklings, flux distributions, and microscopic parameters of the lattices were measured.

The High Intensity Food Irradiator: Report 17 (open access)

The High Intensity Food Irradiator: Report 17

From introduction: A thorough investigation, both experimental and theoretical was carried out on plaque type radiators. Five phases of the work are reported: preliminary design analysis, experimental measurements, computational program and analytical studies, followed by a general discussion of source design principles. The results are summarized in graphs and formulae which may be applied to other design requirements.

Hindrance Factors For Alpha Decay (open access)

Hindrance Factors For Alpha Decay

The theoretical half lives for alpha emissions have been calculated for nearly all of the complex alpha spectra. The spin independent equations of Preston were used for the calculations. The nuclear radius for the even-even nuclei was determined with the assumption that the alpha transition to the ground state is unhindered. For odd mass nuclides the average of the nuclear radii of the adjacent even-even nuclides was used. For odd-odd nuclides the average of the nuclear radii of the adjacent odd mass nuclides of the same atomic number was used.

Irradiation of an Aluminum Alloy-Clad Ceramic Pellet-Fueled Plate (open access)

Irradiation of an Aluminum Alloy-Clad Ceramic Pellet-Fueled Plate

An aluminum-nickel alloy-clad ceramic-fueled plate of the BORAX-IV type was examined destructively after irradiation to a maximum burn-up of 7.800 Mw days per ton in the circulation water loop in the MTR. Irradiation was at 600 psig and 465 deg F. with local boiling in the area of highest neutron flux and a maximum heat flax of 500.000 Btu/(hr) (ft/sub 2/). The specimen performed satisfactorily in spite of several factors which made conditions more severe than those expected to exist in a reactor fueled with this type of element. The corrosion rate of the aluminum-nickel cladding on the element was approximately 10 mils per year. Oniy slight breakup of the ceramic pellet fuel was experienced and there was no evidence that the degree of cracking was influenced to any appreciable extent by exposure to radiation. (auth)

Irradiation of an Aluminum Alloy-Clad Ceramic Pellet-Fueled Plate

From Introduction: "An experiment, designated MTR-W10, was designed to determine the effects of high burnup on the cladding and fuel of an aluminum-1% nickel alloy (M-388)-clad ceramic pellet-fuelded plate if the type manufactured at Argonne for the BORAX-IV core. Conditions of irradiation were selected to allow local boiling at the high flux end of the plate at a pressure of 600 psig."
