Chemical Reactions In Crossed Molecular Beams (open access)

Chemical Reactions In Crossed Molecular Beams

Even in its present primitive stage the molecular beam method promises to open up many opportunities for detailed studies of reactive collisions. The early results described here have revealed several features inaccessible to the traditional methods of kinetics. We hope this program of beam studies will ultimately provide the basis for constructing a theory of the molecular mechanics of reactions. By borrowing what are now everyday techniques in nuclear physics (modulation of the beams; mass analysis and counting of detected ions) it appears possible to gain from four to six orders of magnitude.

THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR (open access)

THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR

A corrosion testing program designed to estimate the potential service life of aluminum alloys used in the construction of the Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR) cooling systems has been in progress for over two years. The five alloys (1100, 3003, 5052, 5154, and 6061) used to the greatest extent in the reactor exhibited continuously decreasing corrosion rates since the first 500-hr inspection. Samples exposed in the core-cooling loop have shown a decrease in corrosion rate from a 2.6 mpy maximum for one group during the first 500 hr to an over-all average of less than 0.1 mpy for another group after a full year in test, with the maximum metal loss less than 0.1 mils. Results indicate that with suitable water treatment the aluminum alloys used in the ORR may be expected to give satisfactory performance for many years. Based on the generalized corrosion rates alone, 40 to 50 years of service life may be expected. However, since occasional localized corrosion has been observed (rarely), minor repairs will almost certainly be required before that time. (auth)

Corrosion Studies of Ternary Zirconium Alloys in High-Temperature Water and Steam (open access)

Corrosion Studies of Ternary Zirconium Alloys in High-Temperature Water and Steam

The alloying of zirconium to improve corrosion resistance has an empirical basis, and satisfactory explanations for the alloying effects are not available. A theory of compensating valencies in the corrosion oxide is proposed, in which cations of lower and higher valence than zirconium (+4) are present in ratios such that electrostatic neutrality is ensured. An example is an alloy containing equimolar amounts of scandium (+3) and niobium (+5). A number of zirconium alloys were prepared in which scandium or yttrium were paired with elements capable of a +5 or +6 valence. The ternary alloys containing scanadium were superior to the alloys combining yttrium. The alloys containing scandium plus molybdenum, tantalum, or tungsten had relatively long lifetimes in steam at 540 deg C and 600 psi as compared with other alloy combinations, including Zircaloy-2. A quenched alloy containing 0.025 wt% Sc and 0.053 at.% Mlo, that is, 0.05 mol.% of each additive, corroded approximately according to a cubic law up to 758 hr, at which potnt the rate suddenly increased in a manner suggesting hydrogen damage. Examination of the oxide film from alloys containing scandium and molybdenum showed only monoclinic ZrO/sub 2/. It is believed that stabilization of this form of …

A DESCRIPTION OF INTEGRAL PHYSICS DATA FOR FAST REACTOR DESIGN

Integral physics data for fast reactor design are discussed. The measurements needed include those of critical mass, shape factor, detector ratios, neutron spectra, material replacement experiments, reflector savings, neutron lifetime, Rossi- alpha , and similar quantities. Topics covered include Pu- and U/sup 233/-fueled systems, highly enriched U/sup 235/ systems in optimum geometry, uranium cores of various enrichments and dilutions, extreme geometry critical experiments, specific reactor systems, core mockup inhomogeneities, spectral studies and detector ratios, uranium equilibrium spectrum data, materialreplacement measurements, fast reactor dynamics, and suggested future experiments and experimental programs.

Design Criteria for Steel in Nuclear Reactors (open access)

Design Criteria for Steel in Nuclear Reactors

S>Criteria for stress analysis and structural design with steel for the critical components of nuclear plants are presented. An effort was made to integrate the effects on the strength of steel of the coexisting phenomena, such as mechanical and thermal loads, stress cycling and fatigue, creep and creep rupture, irradiation, and loss of ductility. Extensive use of the plastic region of steel was made for the accommodation of thermal stresses. The concept of cumulative damage in the plastic region was expounded for thermal fatigue and creep. A short description is given of the five avenues followed for the development of a theory governing the strength of materials. An approach was taken up that attempts to establish a "theory of fatigue" based on experiments. (auth)

Design Study of Portable Thermoelectric Nuclear Systems (open access)

Design Study of Portable Thermoelectric Nuclear Systems

Design studies were performed and costs were estimated for an air transportable, 10 Mw(t), pressurized light water thermal circulation reactor, combined with a direct conversion thermoelectric generator and static electrical inversion equipment. This TCR-TE'' concept appears to have potential for ultimate use as a remote unmanned power station. Based on an extrapolation of present reactor technology and on assumed thermoelectric materials properties forecasted to January 1, 1963, a net a-c electrical output of 315 Kw is estimated, assuming the use of 80 deg F local water for cooling purposes. An alternate concept using 80 deg F air for cooling produces 271 Kw, net. These electrical output figures can be improved significantly through a recommended research and development effort. The design and construction of a prototype plant is also recommended. (auth)

DEVELOPMENT OF A PROCESS FOR SODIUM BONDING OF EBR-II FUEL AND BLANKET ELEMENTS

Procedures for assembling EBR-II fuel elements with annular sodium bonds between the uranium rods and the stainless steel claddings are outlined. The results of several meltdown and uranium-settling experiments are given. Bonding experiments were performed: furnace bonding, submerged canning, ultrasonic bonding, centrifuging, pressure pulsing, and vibratory bonding. Vibratory bonding was chosen for the production of the first EBR-II core. (D.L.C.)

THE EXPERIMENTAL BERYLLIUM OXIDE REACTOR. MARITIME GAS-COOLED REACTOR PROGRAM

LIUM OXIDE REACTOR. MARITIME GAS-COOLED The Experimental Beryllium Oxide Reactor, EBOR, will be constructed at the National Reactor Testing Station as the AEC portion of the joint Maritime Administration--AEC Maritime Gas Cooled Reactor Program. The ultimate goal of the Program is the development of nuclear power plants employing a helium cooled and beryllium oxide moderated reactor directly coupled to a closed cycle gas turbine. The objective is to obtain compact nuclear engines suitable for use either in a merchant ship propulsion system or an intermediate size central station power plant in the 20 to 100 Mw(e) size range. The EBOR is a l0 Mw(t) test of the basic fuel element and moderator designs. It is capable of being up-graded in power at a later date to a test of the nuclear reactor turbine concept. The objective of the experiment is outlined. The principal reactor components to be tested and the test facility are described. (auth)

Extrusion of Uranium Tubes (open access)

Extrusion of Uranium Tubes

Technical report. From Abstract : "Several hundred long, thin-walled uranium tubes were extruded to close dimensional tolerance by a potentially low cost fabrication process in commercial facilities. The principal process steps were; forging uranium ingots, machining the forged ingots into billets, and extruding the billets into tubes. Some 750 tubes (maximum dimensions: 3.5 inches in diameter and 15 feet long) were fabricated by this process. Dimensional control was excellent in that 88% of the tubes were within +/- 0.010 inch of average dimensions over their entire length."
