Magnetic Recorder for Nuclear Pulse Application : Covering the Period from December 6, 1959 to February 5, 1960 (open access)

Magnetic Recorder for Nuclear Pulse Application : Covering the Period from December 6, 1959 to February 5, 1960

"Abstract: An evaluation of a modulator flux sensitive playback head to be used with an analog magnetic recorder for nuclear pulse information storage was made. The modulator head was found unsultable. A pulse stretching unit was constructed which takes pulses from a standard linear pulse amplifier and provides an output signal suitable for driving a recording head."

Magnetic Recorder for Nuclear Pulse Application : Covering the Period from February 6, 1960 to April 5, 1960

Abstract: "The accuracies which can be achieved in analog recording systems are for the most part tape limited. While reasonable variations in tape speed do not directly affect the accuracy, such variations result in improper tape tensioning, which in turn results in poor head-to-tape contact. The quality of the tape transport mechanism should be such that the error introduced by improper head- to tape contact is less than tape errors. Some additional equipment is necessary in setting up a tape recorder for a given experiment. The amplitude of the input pulse spectura to the recorder should be adjusted for optimum value and, if possible, the counting rate should be adjusted to obtain good tape utilization. An oscilloscope is probably adequate to satisfy both conditions."

A Two-Group Calculation of the Transients in an Externally Driven Reactor with Reflector (open access)

A Two-Group Calculation of the Transients in an Externally Driven Reactor with Reflector

Summary: "Expressions for the fast and thermal flux in the core of an externally driven, symmetrical infinite slab reactor with a reflector are derived as a function of the reflector thickness. The driver is represented by an inward current of fast neutrons through the outer boundary of the reflector. The flux distribution curve is plotted for several values of reflector thickness. The object is to determine the effect of changing reflector thickness on the flattening of the flux inside of the core of such a reactor."

Microwave Diagnostic Systems and Techniques for Use in Controlled Fusion Research

Abstract: "Microwaves have been used for several years at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory to study conditions in the magnetically contained plasmas of controlled fusion research. There are two basic microwave techniques. One gives information on electron density and distribution in the plasma, the other provides data on electron temperature. This paper briefly summarizes the established techniques, discusses engineering requirements and limitations, and describes some further applications of microwaves presently being considered."

Discussion on Optimization of Large Oil-Pumped Ultra-High Vacuum Systems (open access)

Discussion on Optimization of Large Oil-Pumped Ultra-High Vacuum Systems

Abstract: "Discussion is directed toward eventual optimization of the largest diffusion-pump systems. Less than 100 diffusion pump fluid molecules per cm 2/sec are possible to detect using an accumulation method. Optimization discussed demands highest possible system speed compatible with the above contamination rate. Bakeable oil diffusion pump systems, with equal orifice valve-tap units, without conventional baffling, permit theoretical through-put speeds up to 0.3 of the system orifice. The average backstreaming rate of oil in two unconventionally baffled commercial pumps of 6-in. and 10-in. size is reduced to < 3 x 10-(-4) g/cm-2/24 hr, including heating and cooling the pump boiler. A Ho factor of >0.4 is maintained. Results on trapping with activated alumina, retained by a wire mesh, at both liquid-nitrogen and room temperature are included. A variety of pumping speed measurements and bakeable combination valve-trap units are discussed."

Evaluation of Commercial Ceramic Coating for Short Time Protection of Columbium 1% Zirconium (open access)

Evaluation of Commercial Ceramic Coating for Short Time Protection of Columbium 1% Zirconium

Abstract. Fourteen commercial enamel frits from five different manufacturers were tested to determine their abilities to protect Nb-1% Zr during the forging cycle in the temperature range of 1800 to 2300 deg F. One frit was found to afford good coverage and protection at 2200 deg F at times up to 5 hours of exposure. Adherence was excellent during upset forging of a coated Nb--1% Zr sample heated 45 minutes at 2200 deg F. Another frit afforded good protection and coverage at 1700 deg F. (auth)
