LRL-Nevada Drill Hole Survey Technique (open access)

LRL-Nevada Drill Hole Survey Technique

The demands of the scientific programs of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the Nevada Test Site have necessitated the development of special drill hole survey techniques. These techniques, in general, have made possible the attainment of greater survey accuracies than are ordinarily obtained by the drilling industry in the course of normal survey work. For drill holes requiring a moderately high degree of location accuracy, standard survey equipment, manufactured by Eastman Oil Well Survey Company was adapted by LRL to meet this need. Where an extremely high degree of survey accuracy and control of drilling effort is necessary, such as in the drilling and survey of line-of-sight holes, special optical equipment was developed. The modifications of equipment, refinements in procedures, and special techniques necessary to adapt this equipment to meet the more demanding accuracy requirements of scientific programs are discussed. The overall techniques of survey, equipment used, and the accuracies obtained together with results of completed surveys showing a comparison with standard land survey methods are also discussed and illustrated in some detail.

Mobile Unit for Nondestructive Testing in the Field (open access)

Mobile Unit for Nondestructive Testing in the Field

The Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, University of California, uses a mobile nondestructive testing unit for radiographic testing of assemblies in the field. The unit is provided with an X-ray machine, portable cobalt-60 and cesium-137 energy sources, complete darkroom facilities, and equipment for detailed examination of radiographic films. The trailer unit layout and the nondestructive testing equipment provided are discussed in detail in this paper.

PBM, A Two-Group, Two-Region Reactor Model for Homogeneous, Highly Absorbing Systems and Machine Codes for Its Application (open access)

PBM, A Two-Group, Two-Region Reactor Model for Homogeneous, Highly Absorbing Systems and Machine Codes for Its Application

A nuclear model has been developed for homogeneous, two-region reactors possessing a relatively large percentage of epithermal absorption in both the core and blanket region. A number of new IBM 650 programs have been developed and existing programs modified to form a group of programs, compatible with the nuclear model and with each other, which can be used for preliminary evaluation of the effed of design variable on reactor characteristics.
