THE RELEASE OF Kr$sup 85$ FROM UO$sub 2$ IN ORR CAPSULES (open access)

THE RELEASE OF Kr$sup 85$ FROM UO$sub 2$ IN ORR CAPSULES

In an attempt to determine the validity of the method of predicting the release of fission gases from U0/sub 2/ suggested recently by Cottrell et al., a series of calculations were made of the expected release of Kr/sup 85/ from prototype Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) fuel capsule irradiated in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR). The computed values were then compared with measured values of the per cent Kr/sup 85/ released. In the calculations, the thermal conductivity of the U0/sub 2/ was assumed to be 0.028 w/cm- deg C in the temperature range from 700 to 1600 deg C, and in the absence of a precise knowledge of the helium gap, the cases of a 3-mil helium gas and no gap were treated. Values of the release-rate parameter (D) were estimated from BET surface areas of the U0/sub 2/ pellets. Results showed that the measured values of the per cent Kr/sup 85/ released generally fell within or close to the limits set by the 3-mil helium gap and no gap conditions. There was also a definite correlation between the measured values and the 3-mil gap condition when the clad temperature was about 700 deg C. When the clad temperature was …

RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THERMIONIC POWER GENERATION. Progress Report No. 1 (open access)

RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THERMIONIC POWER GENERATION. Progress Report No. 1

Research concerned with a theoretical and experimental study of magneto- thermionic power generation is reported. This concept promises a number of advantsges over conventional thermionic generators. Low pressure Cs diodes suffer from an undesirable size limitation, because selfinduced magnetic fields reduce current transmission and hence, efficiency. Although this effect does not arise in the small devices tested to date, it becomes important in building larger generators. Analysis indicates that this problem can be virtually eliminnted by the application of a longitudinal magnetic field. An experimental and theoretical study was initiated to verify the predicted magnetic field effects, and to examine their possible use in a-c generation. (auth)

A Simulation of the EGCR Steam Generator (open access)

A Simulation of the EGCR Steam Generator

An analog model of the EGCR steam generator was developed and operated on the ORNL analog computer as part of a program to simulate the operation and control of the EGCR reactor plant. Equilibrium operation and the transient response of the steam generator unit to system perturbations were studied. A simultaneous solution of the basic heat transfer equations representing the performance of the unit was obtained. The model was operated initially at steady- state conditions, and then perturbations were made to gas flow, gas inlet temperature, and steam throttle valve position. The response characteristics of the model during the transients were recorded. The steam generator gas outlet temperature showed a marked degree of insensitivity to changes in gas inlet temperature. The effect of gas flow changes on gas exit temperature was slightly more pronounced. The transient behavio-r of the unit was reasonable, and the model developed indicated satisfactory operation within the design range of 20 to l00% of full power. (auth)

Slowing-Down Spectra of Neutrons in Heavy Water and Light Water Mixtures (open access)

Slowing-Down Spectra of Neutrons in Heavy Water and Light Water Mixtures

The slowing down spectra of neutrons were obtained for heavy water, light water, and mixtures of heavy water and light water. It was assumed that fission neutrons are produced uniformly throughout an infinite moderator and the only process considered was elastic scattering, spherically symmetric in the center-of-mass system. The (n,2n) reaction with the deuterium nucleus and absorption were assumed negligible. The average transfer cross section, fast diffusion coefficient, the slowing down area, and average velocity ratio were obtained for two-group calculations using the epithermal spectra. (auth).

Some Metallurgical Applications of Autoradiography (open access)

Some Metallurgical Applications of Autoradiography

Macro- and high-resolution methods for autoradiography were used to investigate a number of problems concerning the distribution of uranium and other active elements in metal specimens. Illustrations are presented of the behavior of some of these materials with various henting and cooling treatments and in the presence of metals with which intermetallic phases are formed. Techniques are discussed for handling and examining autoradiographic stripping films by means of various types of metallurgical and conventional microscopic equipment. (auth)

STUDIES IN MICROMERITICS. II. THE DEPOSITION OF PARTICLES IN CIRCULAR CONDUITS DUE TO THERMAL GRADIENTS (open access)

STUDIES IN MICROMERITICS. II. THE DEPOSITION OF PARTICLES IN CIRCULAR CONDUITS DUE TO THERMAL GRADIENTS

The deposition of particles from turbulent gas streams due to thermal gradients was predicted using a simplified flow medel. In the medels particle concentration was assumed constant in the turbulent region. The particle deposition velocity was taken to be the radial velocity of thermal - repulsion in the laminar sublayer. Temperature gradients in the laminar sublayer were calculated for constant wall temperature using the Reynoldss analogy. The loss magnilude of suspended particles from loss due to thermal deposition is not generally greats and is most important for submicron particles. (auth)

A Theoretical Consideration Of Asymmetric Heat Flow At The Interface Of The Dissimilar Metals (open access)

A Theoretical Consideration Of Asymmetric Heat Flow At The Interface Of The Dissimilar Metals

Several investigators have found that the resistance to heat transfer at certain metal-metal interfaces is dependent upon the direction of heat flow across these interfaces. This paper shows that such a phenomenon can be explained by application of the theory of heat conduction in the solid state.

Las Vegas Area (ARMS-II)

From Abstract: "An Aerial Radiological Measuring Survey (ARMS) of the Las Vegas area was made for the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, by Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier, Inc., between May 21 and June 23, 1961. The survey was part of a nationwide program to measure present environmental levels of gamma radiation. Approximately 6000 traverse miles were flown, at an attitude of 500 ft above the ground, in a 100-mile square centered near Las Vegas. The EG&G ARMS-II instrumentation was used in the survey."

The Water-Shielded Cave Facility for Totally Enclosed Master-Slave Operations at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (open access)

The Water-Shielded Cave Facility for Totally Enclosed Master-Slave Operations at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory

An efficient, flexible, and relatively simple system of enclosures for the handling of multicurie amounts of alpha, gamma, and neutron-emitting isotopes has been developed by the Health Chemistry Department at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley. It has been in operation since April 1961. This system consists basically of interlocking 4-ft water tanks that form the shielding around the leaktight primary enclosure in which operations are conducted by means of totally socked master-slave manipulators. This facility has been successfully used for procedures ranging from multicurie chemical separations to highly refined microtechniques. It has served equally well for metallurgical examinations and remote machining and welding procedures. The cost of this totally equipped facility was approximately ,000. (auth)
