PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT STEAM SEPARATOR DEVELOPMENT (open access)

PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT STEAM SEPARATOR DEVELOPMENT

Development of a steam separator the Pathfinder Reactor is reported. A full-scale separator model was developed through the combination of scale-model testing and the application of principles associated with the existing theory of centrifugal separation. This model was put through full-scale air-water tests which led to modifications and a final design which meets Pathfinder requirements. Design data are included for the reactor and the steam separator. (J.R.D.)

CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE ARGONNE HIGH FLUX REACTOR (open access)

CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE ARGONNE HIGH FLUX REACTOR

Critical experiments were performed with two assemblies simulating a cold clean, and an end-of-cycle,- Argonne High Flux Reactor, core. Data were obtained for flux distributions; cadmium ratios; temperature and void coefficients; and control rod, beam hole, and reflector worths. The data obtained furnished confirmation of theoretical predictions. The peak 2200-m/sec flux per unit power was measured as 3 x 10/sup 7/ n/(cm/sup 2/)(sec)(watt) for both cores. The two cores had internal H/sub 2/O thermal columns, 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 50.8 cm. These were enclosed by 100-liter fuel zones. The radial reflector was 90% beryllium containing 10% H/sub 2/0 plus Plexiglas by volume. The top and bottom reflectors were H/sub 2/O. The critical mass was 3.58 kg U/sup 235/ with a 1.16 metal-towater ratio in the fuel zone. The critical mass with a 1.60 metal- to-water ratio, taking into account 34.3 kg Type 304 stainless steel, was 7.15 kg U/sup 235/. (auth)

COMPILER INTO GEORGE ASSEMBLY ROUTINE (open access)

COMPILER INTO GEORGE ASSEMBLY ROUTINE

This program of the GEORGE Assembly Routine (GAR) will accept Fortran- like statements from paper tape and create the GAR language program on tape. This includes the needed calls for common subroutines and the reservations for the named variables and temporaries. The original statements in Fortran are carried along as remarks. The GAR language program may then be processed in the usual way by the GEORGE Assembly Routine, giving machine-language code. The level of sophistication of the source language is roughly equal to that of Fortransit or SALT. (auth)

Determination of Aerodynamic Drag Parameters of Small Irregular Objects by Means of Drop Tests (open access)

Determination of Aerodynamic Drag Parameters of Small Irregular Objects by Means of Drop Tests

Drag coefficients were determined for various irregular objects such as glass fragments, stones, steel fragments, and spheres by means of drop tests for use in a mathematical model to correlate nuclear explosion blast experiments. Drop tests were also made on small laboratory animals and extrapolated to estimate the drag properties of man. A method was developed to estimate the average drag properties of man from his total surface area. (D.L.C.)

Effects of Seismic Vibrations on the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (open access)

Effects of Seismic Vibrations on the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor

The effects of seismic vibrations on the dynamic behavior of a composite system were analyzed. The equations of motion were derived and soIved with special emphasis on determining the resulting stresses. The method of analysis thus developed was applied to the composite structure consisting of the core, pressure vessel, and supporting skirt of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR). A system with three degrees of freedom was considered in order to determine the effects of an earthquake of the maximum intensity expected in the area surrounding Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The system of equations of motion was solved both numerically and analytically, and the resonant frequencies were determined. The seismic effect was shown to be small when the frequency of the seismic disturbance coincided with a natural frequency of the system. In particular, the shear stresses in the graphite core were shown to be negligible. (auth)

Periodic Waste Disposal System Material Balance Test. Core 1, Seed 2. Test Evaluation T-641317. Section 1 (open access)

Periodic Waste Disposal System Material Balance Test. Core 1, Seed 2. Test Evaluation T-641317. Section 1

A test was carried out to determine the adequacy of storage capacity and operating procedures of the radioactive waste disposal system during a normal reactor plant warmup. The capacity and operating procedures were found to be adequate. It was impossible to perform a complete material balance based on existing level instrumentation and using the data required by the test procedure. Approximately 21,290 gal. of waste were received in the system and 13,210 gal. were discharged to the river with a total activity of 1200 mu c. A quantity of 6,670 gal. of reactor coolant effluent was processed. Approximately 634 lb of combustible waste were incinerated. (M.C.G.)

Quarterly Status Report on LAMPRE Program for Period Ending May 20, 1962

During the report period 110 Mw-hr of operation were completed by LAMPRE I at various power levels, and observations were made of control element performance and reactivity losses. Metallographic examination of a Core I capsule having 120 Mw-hr of irradiation exposure disclosed no major attack. Core II utilizes Ta alloy melts and 13 fuel melts. Starting materials for Core II capsules are tabulated. In research and development a gamma-ray conversion television was used to observe the flow of molten Pu in the PTA experiment. Dilute fuels being studied for use in a high-performance reactor include Pu --Co - -Ce alloys, ing exposure of test containers to U --Pu -Mn fuel at 900 deg C for 2 hrs are tabulated. In fuel reprocessing data on decontamination of Pu metal by electrorefining and by solvent extraction were obtained. Details of maintenance and development of the core test facility are included.
