Dynamic Corrosion Screening Tests on Inconel and Nickel in NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 Bath (open access)

Dynamic Corrosion Screening Tests on Inconel and Nickel in NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 Bath

Nickel is more susceptible to mass transfer in a 100hr non-isothermal dynamic corrosion system than is Inconel when exposed to a NaCl-MgCl2-UCl3 (50.0-33.3-16.0 mole %) bath at a hot zone temperature 1800 F. No nickel mass transfer was observed in a 500-hr test at 1350 F, but Inconel showed some attack under these conditions. Inconel mass transfer was observed in both tests, being more severe at the higher temperature. On the bases of these preliminary tests, it appears that nickel is a more satisfactory container than Inconel for the chloride bath at temperatures in the region of 1350 F. The chromium is more susceptible to selective leaching from Inconel at 1800 F during a short 100-hr test (0.26% Cr in bath) than in a 500-hr test (<0.001% Cr in bath) at a lower temperature (1350 F ).

Trip to Selas Corporation of America

On May 23, 1957, a visit was made by the writer to the Selas Corporation of American in Dresher, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the visit was to discuss further investigations into methods of tubesheet brazing by direct heating. Original work along these lines has been carried out at ORNL and is covered by a memo (CF-57-4-57) to W.D. Manly, dated April 16, 1957, and entitled : Investigation of Tubesheet Brazing by a Method of Direct Heating.

The Volatilization of Fission Products by Melting of Reactor Fuel Plates (open access)

The Volatilization of Fission Products by Melting of Reactor Fuel Plates

Experiments in the controlled melting of irradiated fuel specimens, particularly of the APPR, STR, and MTR types have confirmed that prolonged heating in air at temperatures in excess of the melting point results in the release of a large portion of the radioactivity. On the other hand, a moderate amount of heating in air or steam sufficient only to melt a specimen results mainly in the partial volatilization of the rare gases; the halogens, iodine and bromine; and the alkali metals, cesium and rubidium. In the presence of air or water vapor, strontium and other fission products are not released. At trace concentration of fission products, slow melting of the APPR plate at 1525 C in air or steam effected the release of 50 percent of the rare gases, 33 percent of the iodine, 9 percent of the cesium and traces of strontium. After 25% burn-up, the cesium value increased to about 60 percent. Aluminum alloy of the MTR type, also at trace concentration, upon melting at 700 C released up to 2 percent of the iodine, 10 percent of the rare gases, and negligible portions of other fission products. Zirconium alloy of the STR type after 15 percent burn …

Determination of Trace Amounts of Sulfur in Fluoride Salts (open access)

Determination of Trace Amounts of Sulfur in Fluoride Salts

A method has been developed for the determination of total sulfur in fluoride salts using the methylene blue procedure. Reduction of sulfate to hydrogen sulfide is achieved through the use of a new reducing mixture consisting of stannous chloride dissolved in concentrated phosphoric acid. The new mixture is effective on microgram amounts of sulfate and offers a major advantage over the red phosphorous reducing mixtures in that larger samples may be taken for analysis. The procedure has been applied to fluoride salts containing from 1 to 500 ppm of sulfur. The coefficient of variation the method is 10 percent.
