Magnetic Properties of Insulators. Quarterly Report No. 2 Covering Period May 15, 1961 to August 15, 1961 (open access)

Magnetic Properties of Insulators. Quarterly Report No. 2 Covering Period May 15, 1961 to August 15, 1961

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of color centers in additively colored KCl crystals is measured to observe the effects of optical bleaching at room temperature. Earlier measurements on the F-center are confirmed and the susceptibility is measured at 78 and 300 deg K over five decades of power, including the very low power region. The width and the saturation properties of the individual multiplets are studied in detail and the technique of making E PR measurements on inhomogeneously broadened lines is discussed. A calculation is presented which shows that a slight departure from a Lorentzian multiplet shape can account for the saturation data. The bleached crystals show a resonance which has a width of 35 gauss and a different rate of saturation than the F- center. This resonance is associated with the B-band which appears in the optical absorption. (auth)

PROCESSES FOR RECOVERY OF URANIUM AND THORIUM FROM GRAPHITE-BASE FUEL ELEMENTS. PART II (open access)

PROCESSES FOR RECOVERY OF URANIUM AND THORIUM FROM GRAPHITE-BASE FUEL ELEMENTS. PART II

Laboratory-scale tests on methods for recovering uranium and thorium from graphite-base reactor fuel elements are reported. The 90% HNO/sub 3/ process, which involves simultaneous disintegration and leaching in 21 M HNO/sub 3/, is applicable to all fuel elenments which do not contain coated fuel particles. Leaching of irradiated (0.001% burnup) fuels containing 3 and 12% uranlum recovered approximates 99.3 and 99.9%, respectively, of the uranium in two 4-hr leaches with boiling acid. The graphite residue retained > 50% of the long-lived fission products. Three successive leaches of fuel containing uranium and thorium recovered approximates 99% of both elements. Uranium recoveries by combustion in oxygen followed by dissolution of the ash hn nitric acid or fluorlde-catalyzed nitric acid are quantitative only when the fuel is not coated, does not contain Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-coated fuel particles, and is free from impurities such as iron. During combustion up to 95% of the Ru-106 was volatilized from irradiated specimens. Recoveries, by leaching with 70% HNO/sub 3/, from fuel specimens containing Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-coated fuel particles were greater than 99% when the specimens were ground finer than 200 mesh to ensure crushing of the fuel particles.

Periodic Waste Disposal System Material Balance Test. Core 1, Seed 2. Test Evaluation T-641317. Section 1 (open access)

Periodic Waste Disposal System Material Balance Test. Core 1, Seed 2. Test Evaluation T-641317. Section 1

A test was carried out to determine the adequacy of storage capacity and operating procedures of the radioactive waste disposal system during a normal reactor plant warmup. The capacity and operating procedures were found to be adequate. It was impossible to perform a complete material balance based on existing level instrumentation and using the data required by the test procedure. Approximately 21,290 gal. of waste were received in the system and 13,210 gal. were discharged to the river with a total activity of 1200 mu c. A quantity of 6,670 gal. of reactor coolant effluent was processed. Approximately 634 lb of combustible waste were incinerated. (M.C.G.)

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 …

PROGRAM ODD--A ONE-DIMENSIONAL MULTIGROUP CODE FOR THE IBM-7090 (ANP PROGRAM NO. 657) (open access)

PROGRAM ODD--A ONE-DIMENSIONAL MULTIGROUP CODE FOR THE IBM-7090 (ANP PROGRAM NO. 657)

The physical and mathematical reactor models which are used in Program ODD are discussed. In addition, the FORTRAN II source program listings, decimal data input sheets, and input and output for a sample case are given. Program ODD was designed to raake use of the Revised Nuclear Data System at ANPD which consists of twenty-five energy group cross-section data including high energy inelastic scattering matrices, resonance parameters for the resolved resonances, and thermalization scattering matrices for the near thermal energy region. The most unique aspect of the program is the mathematical technique employed for eliminating inner iterations and slow convergenc rates occasioned by the up- scattering'' in the thermalization region of the energy lattice. Direct inversion of the energy matrix coupling the thermal and last four epitherma groups provides simultaneous consistent solutions for thes groups within each power iteration. (auth)

Analysis of the Initial Nuclear Superheat Critical Experiments. Supplementary Study Related to Bonus and Nuclear Superheat Programs (open access)

Analysis of the Initial Nuclear Superheat Critical Experiments. Supplementary Study Related to Bonus and Nuclear Superheat Programs

A critical experiment program is carried out in a configuration similar to the BONUS reactor. The results give information concerning: the effects of different boilersuperheater geometries; the reactivity changes associated with superheater voiding or flooding; power regulation between the boiler and superheater regions; epithermal transmission probabilities for B-stainless steel and Cd control rods; the power flattening characteristics; and void simulation properties. The calculational methods used in the study predict the measured reactivity and power distribution to within the limits of experimental accuracy. (T.F.H.)

Flux and Power Distributions for the SM-2 Reference and Critical Experiment Cores (open access)

Flux and Power Distributions for the SM-2 Reference and Critical Experiment Cores

A detailed analysis was made of the power distributions in the SM-2 experimental core at 68 deg F and the SM-2 reference core at 510 deg F. This analysis supersedes the power distribution calculations presented in APAE No. 69. The calculated distributions for the experimental core were normalized to measured data wherever possible in order to obtain corrections factors for application to the reference core. The over-all power distributions were calculated by synthesis of one-dimensional axial calculations with twodimensional radial calculations. The variation of the power distribution with fuel burnup is also presented. In order to improve the agreement between measured and calculated axial power distributions, flux-weighting the nuclear parameters in the rods-in and rods-out regions was investigated. (auth)
