CALCULATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF REFRACTORY-METAL COMPONENTS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN VACUUM (open access)

CALCULATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF REFRACTORY-METAL COMPONENTS AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN VACUUM

Equations based on kinetic theory relate the contamination of refractory metals in vacuum to the appropriate variables. Several examples are given for which the allowable system pressures are calculated. The examples illustrate the effect of varying several parameters. The importance of the sticking factor for active gases on hot refractory metals and its effect on the system design are discussed. The data for estimating the sticking factor for O/sub 2/ on Nb are given, along with some estimated values. Experimental data on the composition and rates of outgassing of ultrahigh-vacuum systems and their importance in system design are discussed. Several methods of reducing contamination rates and the relative ease and effectiveness of these methods are presented. It was concluded that tests of 1000 hr or longer will probably require system pressures of between 10/sup -9/ and 10/sup -6/ torr, the particular pressure depending upon the residual gas composition, test duration, allowable contamination level, and the other variables discussed. Since the most important source of contamination in a properly designed ultrahigh-vacuum system is the outgassing process, bakeable systems should be designed to operate with walls as cool as practical, and to have a minimum of surface area and outgassing materials inside. …

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report (open access)

RADIOISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report

The study of the mechanism of free-radical formation and decay in polymeric materials was continued and extended to include an investigation of the potential application of this information to the development of novel graft copolymers. The study of postirradiation grafting techniques employing both peroxide initiation and direct grafting was continued. In addition, the effect of molecular weight on site formation was further investigated. Licenses and license applications for approximately 300 by-product material licenses were reviewed to obtain information on environmental conditions of source usage. The feasibility of testing sealed-source response to normal environments by accelerated test procedures was studied. Indications are that the approach will probably not be applicable to either vibration or abrasion stresses but may be for corrosion stresses. (auth)

Calculation and Measurement of the Transient Temperature in a Low- Enrichment UO$sub 2$ Fuel Rod During Large Power Excursions (open access)

Calculation and Measurement of the Transient Temperature in a Low- Enrichment UO$sub 2$ Fuel Rod During Large Power Excursions

The results of Spert I in-pile transient tests of a rodtype, low- enrichment UO/sub 2/ fuel element are presented. The tests were performed to investigate the possibility of damage to such long thermal-time-constant fuel rods when subjected to short-period power excursions, and to test the effectiveness of an instrumentation technique for measurement of UO/sub 2/ fuel temperatures within the rods. In an initial series of power excursion tests, in which the range of reactor periods was from approximately 1 sec to 7.5 msec, simultaneous measurements were made of the transient temperature at the center of the fuel rod and at the outer cladding surface. Fuel rod rupture occurred during the exponential rise of the 7.5-msec excursion. Similar short-period tests performed on a second fuel rod contain ing no internal thermocouples did not result in cladding failure, supporting the postulation that rupture of the first rod was caused by waterlogging of the UO/sub 2/ as a result of the cladding penetrations made for installation of the internal thermocouples. Calculations of the transient temperature distribution in the fuel rod were made, and the results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data obtained on the central-UO/sub 2/ and cladding-surface …

THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR BeO IRAADIATION EXPERIMENTS ORNL 41-8 AND ORNL 41-9 (open access)

THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR BeO IRAADIATION EXPERIMENTS ORNL 41-8 AND ORNL 41-9

The experimental plan for irradiating BeO pellets in Experiments ORNL 41- 8 and ORNL 41-9 was chosen in accordance with the principles of experimental design. The design is known by statisticians as a 2/sup 5/ factorial experiment confound'' in six replications. Five variables---size, density, grain size, temperature and time--are controlled at two levels to form the basic 2i factorial experiment. The sixth variable, neutron flux, is introduced by confounding on higher-order interactions. An explanation is presented in nontechnical language the means by which the aims of the experimenters and the physical conditions affecting the experiment were utilized in constructing the experimental design.

RADIOISOTOPES AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report No. 12

Continued research is reported in the areas of intrinsic radioactive tracers for industrial process control and the effects of structural factors on radioinduced graft polymerization. The use of Be-- Po neutron sources for production of short-lived isotopes is being investigated. Data are included on the effects of target volume, high-Z scattering media, target-isotope concentration, and macroscopic cross-section on speciflc and total activation produced with a 10-curie source. Research on graft-polyerization concerning the effects of structure on freetinued. Results indicate that the radical formed in a variety of substituted methacrylate polymers is the same in all cases.

Buildup of Fission Products in Reactor Fuel and Coolant With 'Unclad' Fuel Material (open access)

Buildup of Fission Products in Reactor Fuel and Coolant With 'Unclad' Fuel Material

Concentrations of fission products in the fuel and in the coolant stream of a generalized reactor power plant employing unclad fuel material were calculated using actual fission-product chains and wide ranges of assumed values of escape rate from the fuel and removal rate from the coolant stream. The calculations were made on an IBM 704 digital computer. Some typical results are displayed in the form of graphs to illustrate the effects of the variables. As data on escape rates from fuel and removal rates from coolant become available, the tables and graphs developed by this study can be used to estimate the fissionproduct concentration in the coolant stream, which would in turn furnish a basis for determining the degree of coolant purification required to maintain the circulating activity below a given level.

Carbide Cathode Studies, Physical and Chemical Redeposition. Quarterly Progress Report, April 1, 1962-June 30, 1962

The utilization of physical and chemical processes to reduce the rate of vapor loss of thermionic emitters composed of mixed carbides of U and Zr in order to increase the permissible operating temperature is being studied. Preliminary, qualitative results obtained from study of physical redeposition processes showed that increasing the collector temperature may markedly reduce the rate of weight loss from a UC emitter operating at 2053 deg K. The requisite experimental equipment for studies of chemical transport processes was designed and constructed. Experiments will proceed through both a physical chemistry approach to an understanding of the transport processes and a technique to evaluate the efficacy of possible combinations of chemical species by monitoring the electron emission from diodes containing such mixtures.
