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)

The present sthtus, past annealing procedures and experiences, future annealing procedures, annealing sehedule, revised annealing procedure (1958), procedure for combating a graphite fire in fuel channel, high-temperature stored energy, and graphite burning experiments are reportcd for the BNL Research Reactor. The following subjccts are discussed in the appendixes: control of radiation damage in a graphitc reactor; annealing of graphite moderator structure in the BNL; annealing operation in BNL graphite reactor; effect of pile radiation on mechanical and other properties of graphite; neutron sensing instrumentation; instrumentation for sensing fuel failures; thermocouple pattern for enriched fuel loading; environmental hazard from a molten fuel element; retention of volatile flssion products on filters; retention of volatile fission products on water tube coolers; retention of volatile fission products in molten fuel plates; and release of the lowtemperature stored energy in the BEPO Pile.

A process is outlined for the production of uranium alloy powders by co- reduction of mintures of uranium oxide and alloy element oxides. The reduction of mechanical mintures of the oxides of uranium and alloy element with calcium in a sealed reaction vessel is shown to produce powder wtth a variation in particle composition, although of consistert composition over various size fractions. The particular alloy systems which are considered are uranium--nickel, uranium-- chromium, uranium --molybdenum, and uranium--niobium. The uranium-molybdenum and uranium--niobium powders are single phase (metastable gamma), which is of consequence in the production of dimensionaHy stable nuclear fuels. Potential applications of some of these alloys are discussed. (auth)

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)

Twenty-eight of the thirty-five papers presented at the conference are included with discussions. Abstracts of the remaining seven papers are given. The seven sessions were devoted to: radiation effects on graphite, nuclear properties of graphitc, graphite lattice reactivities, chemistry of graphite, chemical reactions between liquid Na and Zr, slug canning fer the ORNL Graphite Reactor, and critical assemblies. Separate abstracts have been prepared for each of the twentyeight papers. (T.R.H.)

An evaluation and the resulting conclusions of work performed are given for each project in which definitive progress was made. The principle progress consisted of: obtaining promising fuel fabrication results from production scale investigations of simplified UO/sub 2/ preparations methods, presintering operation elimination, increasing pellet densities and reductions of UO/sub 2/ losses; successfully brazing a ninety-five inch long experimental fuel subassembly in which all joints, including outside ferrules and control rod rubbing strips, had brazed fillets; completing the fabrication of the last group of MTR process water irradiation samples and all of the in-pile test loop samples except for the specimens containing 27% enriched pellets; performing a nuclear analysis of various fuel assembly designs as part of an over-all evaluation of fuel assembly bowing in the Yankee reactor; completing corrosion studies of primary plant materials in static autoclaves to aid in the selection of a pH control agent; developing a Compromise Design'' for the fueh assembly which incorporates a series of small design changes to eliminate the possibility of restricting control rod motion by interference due to a superposition of bowing of the fuel assembly and an adverse accummulation of mechanical tolerances; completing the calculation of the moderator temperature coefficient, …

The experimental program performed in the SRE auxiliary and main primary galleries was part of a program to determine the adequacy of the shielding configuration for the SRE. The work discussed in this report is concerned with analysis of neutron streaming at coolant pipe penetrations of the reactor vessel, analysis of the shielding required, testing and evaluation of recommended shielding, and measurement and correlation of neutron streaming in labyrinths with theory. The activation analysis method using zinc sheets which was developed for the program of determining thermal neutron streaming in the SRE primary galleries was proven to be versatile, accurate, and reliable. A modified form of the theoretical method of Price, Horton, and Spinney, used to determine neutron scattring through labyrinths, was found to agree favorably with the experimental results obtained from the SRE primary galleries. The theoretical attenuation method used no determine the neutron shield configuration installed in the auxiliary primary gallery was found to give an overestimate of the actual attenuation properties of this shield. The neutron shield configuration installed in the auxiliary primary gallery proved to be adequate in reducing the thermal neutron streaming flux to an acceptable level. It is concluded that both SRE primary galleries …

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.)
