Aerothermodynamic analysis of the SNAP-27 fuel cask (open access)

Aerothermodynamic analysis of the SNAP-27 fuel cask

An aerothermodynamic analysis of the SNAP-27 LEM fuel cask is presented for each of three mission aborts. Aerodynamic models for point mass and six degree-of-freedom trajectories are used, and the fuel cask heating rates and temperature responses are predicted for these trajectories. A survey of analytical and experimental studies of separated flow is related to the fuel cask, and a shock tunnel test program is outlined for further fuel cask analyses.

MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZATION IN pi- p ELASTIC SCATTERING FROM 229TO 3 90 MeV (open access)

MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZATION IN pi- p ELASTIC SCATTERING FROM 229TO 3 90 MeV

The polarization parameter in elastic {pi}{sup -}p scattering has been measured, at the Berkeley 184 synchrocyclotron,l with the use of a polarized proton target. At 318, 337 and 390 Mev incident pion kinetic energy, the angular range from 70{sup o} to 180{sup o} in the center of mass system was covered. At 229 Mev polarization measurements were made in the angular range 150{sup o} to 180{sup o}. Phase shift analyses using these and other published data were made at the two lowest energies.

Equilibrium panel surface temperatures in the SNAP-2 instrument compartment (open access)

Equilibrium panel surface temperatures in the SNAP-2 instrument compartment

By equating net radiation to space to I/sup 2/R heating in the SNAP-2 instrument compartments, and neglecting internal radiation between compartments, the panel surface equilibrium temperatures were computed for hot and cold temperature extremes. These extremes are defined by: (1) cold - pre-start phase in the shade, (2) hot - full power phase facing the sun. The results of the heat balances for hottest and coldest cases are presented graphically. These figures relate the equilibrium surface temperatures to the I/sup 2/R heat load dissipated by the panel surface for hot and cold orbits before and after startup. Included as parameters are effective panel area (dependent on Agena-interface design details) and the ..cap alpha../epsilon ratio for the surface coating. If ..cap alpha../epsilon = .3/.9 and A = 1 ft/sup 2/, the extremes of temperatures suffered are from -191/sup 0/F to +212/sup 0/F. This study shows that the normal R/C surface coating (..cap alpha../epsilon = .3/.9) is acceptable regarding allowable maximum surface temperatures, if the effective panel area is not less than 1 ft/sup 2/. It also indicates that further work is warranted regarding internal radiative distribution of heat in order to limit the lowest temperatures to -65/sup 0/F.

Aerospace nuclear safety report for August 1967 (open access)

Aerospace nuclear safety report for August 1967

The AEC Safety Branch advised that the present outlook for a potential mission using four modified SNAP-3 type generators is rather negative. Drop tests of four SNAP-19 intact reentry heat source capsules were conducted at the Tonopah Test Range. A preliminary GE SNAP-27 safety analysis was reviewed. Three arc tunnel tests were conducted at low heat fluxes. Debris were collected on downrange impactors from all tests. The rapid helium depressurization test on fuel microspheres was conducted by Battelle; preliminary examination of the fuel revealed no obvious change in microsphere characteristics.

Post-irradiation examination of in-pile stress-rupture specimens (ORR S-2 and ORR S-3) (open access)

Post-irradiation examination of in-pile stress-rupture specimens (ORR S-2 and ORR S-3)

Hastelloy-N fuel cladding tube specimens were stress-rupture-tested in-pile at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Two cladding heats were tested at 1400/sup 0/F; hoop stresses ranged from 8000 psi to 26,000 psi. The tubes were then shipped to the Atomics International Hot Laboratory where cladding visual examination, dimensional measurement, and metallographic analysis were performed. Average cladding creep ductility was 1.2%. Cladding failures were intergranular, with some secondary cracking noted. Both cladding ductility and rupture life were reduced by irradiation.

Evaluation of Beta Radiation as a Hydrogenation Catalyst: Interim Technical Status Report for the Period March 1, 1962 to October 31, 1963

From abstract: The concept of using high intensity beta radiation from an isotopic source, Sr-90, inside a high temperature, high pressure chemical reactor has been developed for potential radiation chemical processes. Distinct advantages include high utilizable intensity from a relatively small source with a minimum of shielding against external radiation.

Leakage Neutron Spectrum of  U²³³ Critical Assembly (open access)

Leakage Neutron Spectrum of U²³³ Critical Assembly

Abstract: "The leakage neutron spectrum of a U²³³ spherical critical assembly (Jezebel) has been measured using nuclear emulsions as radiator and detector. The spectrum obtained is compared with similar measurements on the U-235 and Pu-239 analogues of Jezebel U²³³; it is found to agree closely with that of the Pu-239 assembly and to be harder than that of the U-235 assembly. All three spectra are compared with theoretical spectra obtained from a numerical approximation to the neutron transport equation."

Determination of uniaxial mechanical properties of unirradiated and irradiated Hastelloy-N bar and biaxial stress-rupture properties of chromized and coated unirradiated Hastelloy-N (open access)

Determination of uniaxial mechanical properties of unirradiated and irradiated Hastelloy-N bar and biaxial stress-rupture properties of chromized and coated unirradiated Hastelloy-N

Short-time tensile tests were conducted on irradiated (2 x 10/sup 20/ nvt) and unirradiated Hastelloy-N bar from heats 5911 and 6252. No significant difference in mechanical properties was noted between the two heats. The 1200/sup 0/F ultimate tensile strength was decreased by irradiation from 65 to 80 ksi and 48 to 52 ksi. The 1400/sup 0/F ultimate tensile strength was decreased from 45 to 51 ksi to 32 to 34 ksi. The yield strength was not greatly affected by irradiation at either 1200 or 1400/sup 0/F. The 1200/sup 0/F elongation at fracture was decreased from 15 to 45% to 5 to 11%. The 1400/sup 0/F ductility was decreased from 8 to 26% to 1 to 1-1/2%. Unirradiated uniaxial stress-rupture tests were conducted at both AI and ORNL. No definite difference in stress-rupture properties between heats was noted at either 1200 or 1400/sup 0/F in ORNL tests, although some of the 1400/sup 0/F stress-rupture tests indicated that heat 6252 exhibited greater ductility. The AI verification tests showed a definite ductility difference, with heat 6252 exhibiting greater ductility. This phenomenon was attributed to an inhibition in crack propagation due to microsegregation.

Low-cycle fatigue testing of irradiated Hastelloy-N (ORR S-2) (open access)

Low-cycle fatigue testing of irradiated Hastelloy-N (ORR S-2)

Hastelloy-N strip specimens were irradiated in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor at temperatures of 1330 to 1390/sup 0/F, to neutron doses of 1.8 to 2.6 x 10/sup 20/ nvt thermal, l.4 to 2.0 x 10/sup 19/ nvt fast. Twelve irradiated specimens were selected for testing from each of two heats, 0143 (0.010 in. thick) and 5911 (0.015 in.). Six specimens in each heat were as-received, the other six were as-processed. Processing steps included chromizing, a simulated coating firing cycle, diffusion treatment, and straining to simulate tube straightening. In-cell fatigue tests were performed by reverse-bend cycling over mandrels of opposing radii at one cycle per minute, in helium, at 1400/sup 0/F. The twelve specimens tested at strain ranges of 0.61 to 0.75% had an average fatigue life of 97 cycles. Only seven of the specimens tested at strain ranges of 0.31 to 0.37% failed; five remained intact after 25,000 cycles. The average fatigue life for all 0.31 to 0.37% specimens was 15,840 cycles, with no weighting factor used for intact specimens. Experimental results were four times greater than the predicted fatigue life at the higher strain range, fifty times greater at the lower. The Manson method for prediction of Hastelloy-N fatigue …
