Recording Equipment for Internal Friction Measurements (open access)

Recording Equipment for Internal Friction Measurements

An apparatus was developed for recording internal friction data in such a manner as to circumvent many of the laborious and time-consuming observations and calculations usually associated with these measurements. An optical lever is used and the passage of the beam across the scale is detected by photoconductive cells. The cells are strategically located so that, when their signals are fed through a multichannel switching circuit to the pens of an operation recorder, a plot of the logarithm of the vibrational amplitude versus the number of cycles is recorded on the chart. From the definitmon of the logarithmic decrement, ( delta ), it can be shown that the slope of this curve is - delta . The apparatus is inexpensive and requires a minimum of maintenance. It has been used for accurate determinations of values of delta from below 0.0001 up to 0.3. (auth)

A PROGRAM OF RESEARCH ON MECHANICAL METALLURGY AS RELATED TO FUEL-ELEMENT FABRICATION. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1961

Results of crawing experiments using 3/8-in. bars to provide rod and tube test specimens are reported. In mechanical metallurgy investigations on the relation of formability to imperfection structure the peierls potentials for dislocation of Nb, Mo, Ta, and W were measured. Design and construction of a microextensometer reported. The investigations of the effects of grain size on the stored energy cold work were extended to a new lot OFHC Cu. In studies of formability relations with imperfection structure, a detailed study is reported on the internal-friction relaxation spectrum of Ta relatively unmodified by impurities. A summary of interstitial impurity effects on the internal-friction of Ta is given. (J.R.D.)

DEVELOPMENT OF PLUTONIUM BEARING FUEL MATERIALS. Progress Report for Period April 1 through June 30, 1961 (open access)

DEVELOPMENT OF PLUTONIUM BEARING FUEL MATERIALS. Progress Report for Period April 1 through June 30, 1961

BS>Activities are discussed for work done in the preparation of PuO/sub 2/ using the continuous oxalate process, and continuous coprecipitation studies using a uranium-20 wt% plutonium nitrate feed solution. Characterization studies of the PuO/sub 2/ powders indicated that variations in the processing variables can affect the final product. Measurements with the B. E. T. and Innes apparatus confirmed that the specific surface area of the initial batch of the PuO/sub 2/ powder had increased appreciably during storage. Deltatherm differential thermal analysis apparatus was checked out. Procedures were devised for the determination of plutonium and uranium. Sintering studies were continued for pure PuO/sub 2/, and sintering trials were begun for mechanically mixed and coprecipitated PuO/sub 2/ and UO/sub 2/. Metallographic examinations of PuO/sub 2/ sintered pellets revealed a microstructural feature similar to eutectoid structures in alloys. Mechanical packing experiments were carried out using crushed UO/sub 2/ pellets fired to high density. Plasma torch production of UO/ sub 2/ indicates that excellent spheroidization is attained, but central voids were found in the pellets. Reactor physics studies were completed for the analysis of the potential of plutonium as a fuel in near-thermal converter and straight burner reactors. Plutonium was shown to be promising …

EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE COMPATIBILITY STUDIES (open access)

EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE COMPATIBILITY STUDIES

The development of apparatus and laboratory techniques for the study of materials compatibility with 1500 to 2200 deg F potassium was attempted. Techniques for corrosion tab preparation, dry box capsule filling and sampling, and vacuum filling and sampling are described. Apparatus for rotating capsule testing to 2000 F, rotating capsule testing to 2400 deg F, and anisothermal see-saw'' capsule testing is also described. (auth)

Thermionic Isotopic Power Systems SNAP Programs. Quarterly Progress Report No. 7, Covering Period April 1 Through June 30, 1961

An extensive parametric study of cesium-filled converters was completed during the quarter. Cesium-filled test units Nos. 2 and 3 were designed and constructed, and Unit 1 is 85% complete. The prototype vacuum thermionic converter, Unit 2B, was subjected to dynamic testing following its failure due to emitter poisoning. The analysis and design of the curium fuel capsule were completed.

Fuel Cycle Program, a Boiling Water Reactor Research and Development Program. Third Quarterly Report, January 1961-March 1961 (open access)

Fuel Cycle Program, a Boiling Water Reactor Research and Development Program. Third Quarterly Report, January 1961-March 1961

The continuing analysis of the VBWR core resulted in refinements in the calculations for reactivity in voids, flux leakage and resonance escape probability. The Zircaloy cladding for 25 fuel assemblies was received and passed inspection. Preliminary measurements of VBWR flux oscillations, used to develop instrumentation and data interpretation techniques, showed random normally-distributed oscillations with a predominant frequency of 0.5 to 1.0 cycles/second. A model for analog computer simulation of a reactor as a feedback control system was adapted to VBWR. Equations for the hydraulics model and preliminary results from use of the model are presented. Irradiation of the Fuel Cycle stainless steel clad assemblies reached 412 MWD/T with specific powers of 28 kw/kg (average) and 52 kw/kg (peak) during January. Visual examination of the fuel after this irradiation indicated that it is in good condition. The VBWR was shut down during February and March for replacement of all in-core components made of 17-4 pH stainless steel with 304 stainless steel. The details of the first eight special fuel assemblies were determined and materials were ordered. The effects of steam quality, mass flow rate, and rod diameter on burnout heat flux are shown. The burnout heat flux varied inversely with mass …

Photograph taken for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "When women walk into the shoe shop of William Cherry and are greeted, "good morning, pretty lady," some become indignant, others smile. Almost immediately they learn the voice comes from an improvised tree, sheltered in a corner of the shop. It is from this location that 'Jasper' greets customers daily. Not an ordinary parrot, Jasper can trace his ancestry back to more than 100 years ago, and has his master to thank for his existence."
