Oscillating Vertical Magnetic Dipole Above a Conducting Half-Space (open access)

Oscillating Vertical Magnetic Dipole Above a Conducting Half-Space

The electromagnetic field produced by a vertical oscillating magnetic dipole above a plane conducting earth is obtained in integral form. An exact solution in closed form is obtained for the case in which the dipole and the point of observation are both located on the surface of the earth. (auth)

Response of Dual-Purpose Reinforced-Concrete Mass Shelter (open access)

Response of Dual-Purpose Reinforced-Concrete Mass Shelter

BS>A reinforced-concrete dual-purpose underground parking garage and personnel sheiter designed for a long-duration incident pressure of 40 psi was tested. The sheiter was exposed to shot Priscilla, an approximately 37-kt 700-ft balloon burst (June 24, 1957), at a ground range of 1600 ft (predicted 35-psi peak incident-pressure level). The recorded peak incident pressure at the shelter was approximately 39 psi. Postshot soil borings were made to obtain undisturbed samples for determining soil characteristics. Preshot and postshot field surveys were made to determine the total lateral and vertical displacement of the structure. The test structure provided adequate protection from the effects of the test device at the test GZ distance. Despite failure of the door sealing gasket, a rise in pressure in the interior did not exceed 1.0 psi. The flat-slab roof and supporting structure were more than adequate to resist the 39psi peak incident test loading. (P.C.H.)

STEAM-COOLED POWER REACTOR EVALUATION, STEAM-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR (open access)

STEAM-COOLED POWER REACTOR EVALUATION, STEAM-COOLED FAST BREEDER REACTOR

Conceptual design and economic studies of a steamcooled fast breeder reactor that can also be used as a source of power are presented. Two reactor plant sizes were considered: a 300-Mw(e) central power station plant and a 40 Mw(e) plant. It was concluded that attractive economics and good breeding characteristics breeding ratios from 1.27 to 1.42) can be achieved in steam- cooled PuO/sub 2/UO/sub 2/ fueled fast reactors. Low capital costs can be obtained by a compact reactor core and the absence of large heat exchangers and complicated process systems. Reactor design data are discussed. Analysis showed that these reactors can be prevented from going prompt critical, when fully flooded, by incorporating a tolerable amount of high resonance absorption materials such as hafnium or indium. An increase in reactivity on loss of coolant was indicated by preliminary calculations. (M.C.G.)

Flexible Monte Carlo Programs FMC-N and FMC-G (open access)

Flexible Monte Carlo Programs FMC-N and FMC-G

Flexible Monte Carlo programs FMC-N and FMC-G (GE-ANPD Programs 516 and 515) are digital computer programs which apply Monte Carlo methods to simulate neutron and gamma ray life histories, respectively, in a source-shield configuration. The programs were designed for flexlbility in the geometrical, material, nuclear, and source descriptions of source-shield configurations and variance reduction techniques. The programs were also designed to optimize the use of fast memory and to provide complete freedom in the dimensions of the various input quantities. The programs are coded for an IBM-704 computer with a fast memory capacity of 32,768 storage locations and eight magnetic tape units, and for an IBM7090 computer wlth a fast memory capacity of 32,768 storage locations and ten magnetic tape unlts on two date channels. No magnetic drum storage is necessary for either computer. (auth)

FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. Final Report (open access)

FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. Final Report

>The basic fuel element consisted of a uniform dispersion of fuel in a 1 1/2 inch diameter graphite sphere. Ceramic coatings for the retention of fission products were studied. It was found-that molecularly deposited'' ceramics such as alumina, siliconized silicon carbide, and pyrolytic carbon were excellent barriers to fission product leakage. The most advantageous location for ceramic coatings was found to be on the individual fuel particles, where the coating was subject to smaller forces and where a larger thickness-todiameter ratio could be used than if the coating were on the surface of the graphite sphere. Fuel elements were irradiated to burnups ranging up to about 6 at.% U/sup 235/. In all specimens containing a uniform dispersion of fuel, the graphite spheres were found to retain their structural properties after irradiation. Data are given on fuel particle coatings of A1/sub 2/O/sub 3/, pyrolytic carbon, and metals: surface coatings of siliconized silicon carbide, pyrolytic carbon, and metal carbides; properties of and the effects of irradiation on graphite spheres; the use of natural graphite in preparing a high-density matrix material; graphite fueling by thorium nitrate infiltration; subsurface metal and metal carbide coatings for graphite; and an in-pile loop program on the behavior …

Nuclear Analysis of Various Spert-III Critical Experiments (open access)

Nuclear Analysis of Various Spert-III Critical Experiments

Editor please delete 26456.<><DSN>16:026457<ABS>Work done in the P122 reactor control actuator area is summarized. Actuators were required to radially position the absorber blades in the core of the reactor. The P122C1 was a subsonic power plant and temperatures were low enough to permit the use of hydraulics in the actuator area. The program was reoriented and the power plant designated P122C3 which was a supersonic version of the folded flow power plant. The ambient temperature at maximum power was high enough to require pneumatic actuation of the control blades. The program was reoriented after two design iterations of the subsonic power plant. A test model of the actuating equipment and the entire linkage assembly was on hand and completed when the program was cancelled. The linkage was being redesigned for the supersonic application and special bearings were ordered for fabrication into the lower temperature rig. The actual mechanical concepts of the pneumatic actuator were under study when the program was cancelled. (auth)

Heavy-Ion Elastic Scattering (open access)

Heavy-Ion Elastic Scattering

The elastic scattering of C/sup 12/ ions from Ar, Fe, Ni, Ag/sup 107/ In, and Ta was measured as a function of angle, at a laboratory-system energy of 124.5 Mev with the Berkeley heavy-ion linear accelerator. The experimental equipment and techniques are discussed. The angular distributions show the same general behavior as previous heavy-ion elastic scattering experiments. The experimental data were analyzed with the semiclassical Blair model as modified by McIntyre. Very good agreement with experiment was obtained. The measurements were taken with 1% statistics in order to study the structure of the angular distributions in greater detail, because only by fitting the details in the structure was it possible to obtdin unambiguous sets of parameters. The parameters indicated a nuclear radius of 1.45A/sup 1/3/ x 10/sup -13/ cm, and a nearly constant surface thick ness of 1.6 x 10/sup -13/ cm. Total reaction cross sections were obtained. A rainbow-model analysis by Goldman of the data is given. Existing alpha - and heavy-ion scattering data were analyzed with the McIntyre model and compared with previous optical-model analyses of the same data. It was found that, by independent analysis, the two models give the same imaginary phase shifts for all partial …
