A PROGRAM OF RESEARCH AND CALCULATIONS OF RESONANCE ABSORPTION. Final Report (open access)

A PROGRAM OF RESEARCH AND CALCULATIONS OF RESONANCE ABSORPTION. Final Report

A direct numerical integration of the integral equation for the average collision density in the absorber was previously suggested in a discussion of resonance absorption. The implementation of this program is considered. The method of calculation, comparison with experimental data, and the computer code developed are described. The method of integration, computation of cross sections, selection of mesh size, integration interval, outside correction, the Dancoff correction, and unresolved resonances are discussed. Resonance integrals for U/sup 235/ and Th2/sup >/s3>s/sup 2/ were calculated and compared with experiment. (M.C.G.)

Tertiary Blast Effects: The Effects of Impact on Mice, Rats, Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. Technical Progress Report (open access)

Tertiary Blast Effects: The Effects of Impact on Mice, Rats, Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. Technical Progress Report

A total of 455 mlce, rats, gulnea plgs, and rabbits was subjected to lmpact at velocitles ranglng between 25 ft/sec and 51 ft/sec. The deslred velocities were generated by allowlng the anlmals to free-fall from various helghts to a flat concrete pad. The ventral surface of each anlmal was the area of impact. Problt analyses of the 24-hr mortallty data ylelded LD/sub 50/ lmpact veloclties with 95% confldence limits as follows: mouse, 39.4 (37.4 to 42.0) ft/ sec; rat, ft/sec; and rabbit, 31.7 (30.2 to 33.3) ft/sec. The LD/sub 50/ figures for the mouse and rat were slgnificantly higher, statlstically, than those for the gulnea plg and rabblt. The small spread ln the LD/sub 50/ values suggested little variation ln the tolerance of blologlcal systems to impact. Further, the steepness of the mortallty curves lndicated a narrow survlval range to lmpact. Extrapolatlon of the experimental data to the 70 kg anlmal yielded a predicted LD/ sub 50/ impact velocity of 26 ft/sec (18 mph). Literature relevant to the human case was revlewed and the tentative appllcabllity of the predlcted flgures to adult man ls discussed. (auth)

REMOTELY CONTROLLED SHEARING OF PIPE AND STRUCTURAL MEMBERS (open access)

REMOTELY CONTROLLED SHEARING OF PIPE AND STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

A shearing tool was developed for remotely controlled severing of pipes or structural members. The shear is rotated about its axis in a wrist motion by the pumped hydraulic fluid that also powers the shear blade. It can be used in a stationary mounting or suspended from a crane. A C-shaped support for the shear was designed to pass through a small top opening of a shielded cell. The controls for manipulating the shear pass through or along the Cframe. The shear jaw opens to 5 in. in height and 7 in. in width, and the total weight of the tool is only 575 lb. It was used to cut metal sections 4 3/4 in. thick and 4-in. sched.-40 stainless steel pipe.

GAS-COOLED REACTOR PROGRAM. QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 1961

Activities are discussed for research in design investigations, and materials development and testing conducted in connection with the development of the EGCR. The discussions are given in terms of: reactor physics; reactor design studies; heat transfer and fluid now investigations; materials development; in- pile and out-of-pile testing of components and materials; and development of test loops and components.

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)

Failure Analysis of Dispersion Fuel Elements Based on Matrix Cracking (open access)

Failure Analysis of Dispersion Fuel Elements Based on Matrix Cracking

A mathematical model has been developed for estimati the burnup at which mechanical failure occurs in dispersion fuel elements. It is postulated that failure at low temperature, < 900 deg F, occurs as a result of brittle fracture of an elastic matrix when the intensity of the stress locally reaches the ultimate strength of the material. The contributions of fission gas pressure and thermal stress are incorporated in the stress analysis. Because of the complexity of the stress distribution and the failure process, it was necessary to make stringent assumptions in order to have a workable model. Within the framework of the postulates, burnups to failure are predicted for several values of certain important parameters and compared with burnups to failure obtained from a plastic yield model for failure developed by previous investigation. The two models give good agreement for the special cases considered. Of the parameters examined, relative density of the fuel particles has the greatest influence on predictions of allowable burnup. The thermal stress and volume fraction of fuel play minor roles. (auth)

NON-DESTRUCTIVE ANALYSIS OF URANIUM IN GRAPHITE FUEL ELEMENTS BY NEUTRON ACTIVATION (open access)

NON-DESTRUCTIVE ANALYSIS OF URANIUM IN GRAPHITE FUEL ELEMENTS BY NEUTRON ACTIVATION

A method is presented for the determination of uranium (as U/sup 238/) in uraniuni-loaded graphite fuel elenients by a non-destructive, direct radioactivity analysis technique. A 200-cbannel pulse-height analyzer, equipped with a 3 in. x 3 in. NaI(Tl) crystal, is used to measure the Np/sup 239/ radioactivity of the neutron-irradiated samples. The amount of U/sup 238/ in the test samples is deterimined quantitatively by comparing the Np/sup 239/ radioactivity induced in each sample with the Np/sup 239/ radioactivity induced into known standards of U/sup 238/ processed under the same conditions as the test samples. The limit of detection for U/sup 238/in samples of normal uranium composition for this method is about 1.0 x l0-4 ug. (auth)
