APPLIED HEALTH PHYSICS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR JULY 1956-DECEMBER 1956 (open access)

APPLIED HEALTH PHYSICS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FOR JULY 1956-DECEMBER 1956

Routine monitoring procedures are summarized. Based on samples collected by continuous air monitors, the wcekly average value for air contamiration in the laboratory area was 1.98 x 10/sup -12/ mu c/cc. Radioactive fall-out was determined by measuring the total activity and total number of particles collected on gum paper fall-out trays. Two peak periods of activity in July and September were concluded to be the result of weapons tests. Meteorological data are tabulated. Data are included from a survey of natural radioactive elements in TVA lake waters, activity levels in samples of river and lake waters in the laboratory drainage area, rain water, and laundry decontamination measuremcnts. The combination film dosimeter-personnel identification badge was redesigned. A drawing of the badge and its component parts is included. Design modifications are described which wcre made in an automatic air sampler rized from radiation surveys. (C.H.)

Diffusion of Uranium with Various Transitional Metals; DIFFUSION DE L'URANIUM AVEC QUELQUES METAUX DE TRANSITION (open access)

Diffusion of Uranium with Various Transitional Metals; DIFFUSION DE L'URANIUM AVEC QUELQUES METAUX DE TRANSITION

The diffusion process in uranium and its alloys was studied from 550 to 1075 deg C with diffusion couples of U with Zr, Mo, Ti, and Nb and with the alloys U--Nb and U--Mo. A brief description is given of the experimental methods. Results relative to the concentration-penetration curves are presented, and the coefficients of diffusion are calculated. The equilibrium diagram was established for the U--Zr system. The results obtained by micrographic examination, microhardness measurements, and autoradiography are compared with each other. The mechanisms of diffusion are investigated by studying the Kirkendall effect and calculating the Darken intrinsic coeffi cients in the U--Zr and U--UMo diffusion couples. (J.S.R.)

ELK RIVER REACTOR. Quarterly Project Report for March-April-May 1959 (open access)

ELK RIVER REACTOR. Quarterly Project Report for March-April-May 1959

An alternate design of the Elk River Reactor was completed during the quarter. Three points were emphasized in the study: performance capability to provide 116 Mw(th) output; fuel costs of the reference design versus alternate fuel media and cladding; and reactor control modifications to provide sufficient reactivlty to eliminate soluble hold down'' poisons, permit higher power operation and obtain a greater fuel life. Work is summarized on fuel element and material development program, reactor vessel and internal components, control rods and drive mechanism, process systems, superheater, buildings and facilities, instrumentation and site construction.

AN EVALUATION OF MERCURY COOLED BREEDER REACTORS (open access)

AN EVALUATION OF MERCURY COOLED BREEDER REACTORS

Under the New Reactor Concepts Evaluation Program sponsored by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Advanced Technology Laboratories (a Division of American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation) has undertaken am investigation of the technical feasibility and economic potential of the use of boiling mercury as a coolant for fast breeder reactors The investigation was performed between January 1, 1959, and October 31. 1959. This is the final report on that investigation and is submitted in compliance with the terms of the program authorization, Contract Number AT(04-3)-109, Project Agreement Number 4. (auth)

Fuel Elements Conference Held at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, May 14-16, 1958 (open access)

Fuel Elements Conference Held at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, May 14-16, 1958

The fuel element conference provided a favorable medium for presentation and discussion of recent developments in the field of solid fuel elements. The conference was designed to replace the more general Metallurgy Information Meetings held annually in the past. The scope of the meeting embraced the design fabrication, performance, and material problems of fuel elements. (W.D.M)

HIGH TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF URANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS (open access)

HIGH TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF URANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS

Data are presented on the mechanical and physical properties of high- purity and normal uranium and for a range of dilute uranium alloys at temperatures up to 700 deg C. The results of thermal conductivity and thermal expansion determinations for a range of alloys are discussed, and some results on the latent heat of fusion and volume change on melting are presented. Results of dilute alloy creep tests are reported and correlated with thermal cycling data and resistence to swelling under irradiation. (J.R.D.)

IRRADIATION BEHAVIOR OF ThO$sub 2$-UO$sub 2$ FUELS (open access)

IRRADIATION BEHAVIOR OF ThO$sub 2$-UO$sub 2$ FUELS

ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ fuels have been studied because of certain advantages possessed by this type of fuel over UO/sub 2/. Pellets of ThO/sub 2/- UO/sub 2/ have been found to be highly stable dimensionally under irradiation. Various experimental assemblies which have been irradiated have included Al, Zircaloy, and stainless steel cladding, with the annulus surrounding the pellet filled with air, He, NaK, or Pb. A full-scale core of pellets lead-bonded to Al tube-plates has been used successfully in the Borax-IV reactor. Preliminary defect tests have shown that solid fission products are retained and that only the gaseous products, Xe/sup 138/ and Kr/sup 88/, are detectable in the reactor coolant system. (auth)

Monthly Progress Report for the Period September 1 to 30, 1958 (open access)

Monthly Progress Report for the Period September 1 to 30, 1958

A 95-inch experimental Yankee sub-assembly was successfully brazed at 1890 plus or minus 10 for three hours then furnace cooled. All of the joints, outside ferrules, and control rod rubbing strips showed a brazed flllet. Dimensional surveys and joint strength studies indicate that two brazing techniques appear feasible for subassemblies. Codings for computers for use in core design problems are described. A series of criticality calculations for the three water-to-metal volume ratios of the Yankee critical experiments was concluded with the calculatlon of the critical mass of a 4:1 water-touranium metal volume ratio core. Calculations were performed to determine the Mwd/t burnup in terms of unperturbed nvt for 2.7 and 5.4% enriched process water test specimens. Temperature stability experiments were conducted on Rohm and Haas XE- 150 resin by means of water baths at the puriflcatlon system operating temperature of 14O F and at an elevated temperature of 170 F. Data were obtained on corrosion of construction materials. A study was made of the reaction of soluble oxygen with hydrazine in borated water. Performance of criticality experiments on stainless steel clad UO/sub 2/ fuel elements at various water-to-metal ratios are reported. (For preceding period see YAEC95.) (W.D.M.)
