Subsurface Fracturing from Shoal Nuclear Detonation: Final Report (open access)

Subsurface Fracturing from Shoal Nuclear Detonation: Final Report

Abstract: A fracture-evaluation experiment in conjunction with the Shoal nuclear detonation in granite was undertaken to determine the extent of subsurface shock-induced fractures. Preshot and postshot geophysical logs in a hole drilled from the surface through the zone of fractures indicated that fractures extended at least 5.3 cavity radii laterally from the point of detonation. Quantitative measurements of permeability increases resulting from the detonation were planned, but were not completed because of adverse test-hole conditions. General descriptions of the Shoal Project, geology of the test site, and other effects of the detonation are included.

Ichiban: The Dosimetry Program for Nuclear Bomb Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - A Status Report as of April 1, 1964

From Abstract: "The approach to the problem has been as fundamental as possible with emphasis on quantitative measurements and calculations of the energy, angular, and spatial distributions of weapons radiations in an air-over-ground geometry. Spatial distributions of dose in various shields, including Japanese dwellings, have been measured. Techniques have been developed in Japan for verifying the location of survivors and accurately describing their shielding environments."

The Y-Nd and Sc-Nd Phase Systems (open access)

The Y-Nd and Sc-Nd Phase Systems

Technical report. From Introduction : "In a recent study by Spedding, et al. on some rare earth alloy systems, an intermediate phase was found to form when a light rare earth (ABAC stacking) was alloyed with a heavy rare earth (ABAC stacking). This intermediate phase was found to have the structure of samarium metal with the stacking ABABCBCAC and was designated "delta". Since the cause of this rather unusual structure occurring in either samarium metal or these alloys is not known the study of these phases as some of their properties is continuing in the Ames Laboratory. It was the purpose of the present study to extend our knowledge of the composition and more of formation of these phases."

Reactor Pressure Vessel Material Surveillance Program at the Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant (open access)

Reactor Pressure Vessel Material Surveillance Program at the Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract: A materials exposure program has been established in the Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant to measure the effect of neutron irradiation and time at temperate on the mechanical properties of the reactor pressure vessel steel. Base metal specimens were made from portions of the pressure vessel steel, and weld heat-affected zone and weld metal samples were taken from a weldment made from the pressure vessel steel and simulating a pressure vessel circumferential weld since there are no longitudinal welds in the forged ring shell. The specimens were sealed in helium-filled capsules and placed in the reactor vessel at locations where they will be exposed to a variety of conditions. Tensile property changes will be measured by pre- and post-irradiation tests on small tensile specimens. Fracture characteristic changes will be measured in similar fashion by Charpy V-notch impact tests. The program is planned to cover a 32-year period, with specimens to be removed for test at intervals of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 years.
