XLIBIT: ANL Cross-section Library Code

From Introduction: "With the acquisition by the Laboratory of a Control Data 3600 computer in the fall of 1963, a joint reprogramming project was undertaken by the Laboratory's Applied Mathematics Division and the Control Data Corporation to develop one - and two-dimensional diffusion-theory and Sn transport-theory programs for the CDC-3600. The XLIBIT code described in this report was developed as a part of this project. XLIBIT is a CDC-3600 program designed to: 1) Prepare a cross-section library tape. 2) Modify an existing cross-section library tape. 3) Duplicate an existing cross-section library tape. 4) Print all or a portion of the cross-section data on the library tape. Punch cross-section decks for all or a portion of the data on the library tape. The decks produced are identical to those used in pertaining the tape."

EBR-II Dry Critical Experiments Experimental Program, Experimental Procedures, and Safety Considerations (open access)

EBR-II Dry Critical Experiments Experimental Program, Experimental Procedures, and Safety Considerations

Report containing zero power (<1 kw) Dry Critical Experiments that were "to be conducted in the EBR-II Reactor prior to filling the Primary System with sodium coolant" (p. 7.) The two primary objectives of these experiments were to determine how well the system performed without sodium coolant and to "determine and/or verify certain operational data to permit modification or improvement of the system (neutron shield, instrumentation, etc.) prior to the introduction of sodium into the system" (p. 7.)

Preliminary Design and Hazards Report-Boiling Reactor Experiment V (BORAX V) (open access)

Preliminary Design and Hazards Report-Boiling Reactor Experiment V (BORAX V)

From introduction: "The report is preliminary. At the time of writing, the status of the BORAX V project is that design of the reactor buildings and plant, done in collaboration with the architect-engineer with the architect-engineer has been completed and construction has just started; however, the mechanical design of the fuel and cores is still tentative."

Transistor Scintillation Spectrometer (open access)

Transistor Scintillation Spectrometer

Report describing "an AC-operated portable scintillation spectrometer consisting of a preamplifier, a linear pulse amplifier, a single-channel pulse-height analyzer, a linear count-rate meter, a scaler, and a high-voltage power supply. The operation and performance of the circuits are discussed" (p. 3).
