Dynamic B and n-Behavior Up to 7600 Gauss in Magnet Model Mark Ii Comparison of Results With Long and Small Grad Coils

"Magnetic measurements were performance at excitation levels ranging from 4000 to 7600 gauss, to study the dynamic behavior of the magnetic and gradient lengths of the CEA magnet sectors. The influence of the proposed metal vacuum chamber on field and gradient was experimentally determined. Results of measurements made with a 26 in. long grad coil and with small circular grad coils are compared. The reliability of the 26 in. long grad coil is demonstrated."

Rates of Reaction of Irradiated UO2 and Uranium Metal with Sulfuric Acid (open access)

Rates of Reaction of Irradiated UO2 and Uranium Metal with Sulfuric Acid

In the decladding of stainless steel clad fuel elements with sulfuric acid (the Sulfex process), the loss of core material to the decladding solution is determined by the rate of reaction of the core material with the solution and the time of exposure if the core to the solution. Since very little was known about the effects of irradiation history on the rates at which core materials dissolve in sulfuric acid, the present study was undertaken in an effort to determine the magnitude of such effects. This report summarizes the results obtained to date. Further work is planned when materials of higher burn-up are available.

Analysis of the Combustion of Graphite-Uranium Fuels in a Fixed Bed or Moving Bed (open access)

Analysis of the Combustion of Graphite-Uranium Fuels in a Fixed Bed or Moving Bed

The first step in a proposed processing method for recovery of uranium from graphite-uranium fuels consists of oxidation of the fuel by oxygen to volatilize the carbon. Residue ash from the combustion step can be treated in a variety of ways to recover and purify the uranium. The combustion step may be caried out by contacting the solid fuel in a fixed or moving bed with a stream of oxygen-bearing gas in a tubular or annular reactor. Oxidizing gas may be introduced to the reactor at several points up the reactor and there may be continuous or intermittent addition of fresh fuel and removal of residue ash.

Graduate Programs for the Health Physicist in the United States (open access)

Graduate Programs for the Health Physicist in the United States

The first man-made nuclear reactor -- or "pile" as it was then called -- was rather hurriedly improvised and operated in a crowded space under the athletic bleachers of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago on December 2, 1942. Just prior to this time, there began the assembly of a group of physicists with an unusual assignment. They were determined that radiation hazards of unprecedented proportions must be coped with successfully in the conduct of reactor programs as planned. Since these physicists were to be concerned with the health of radiation workers, they were called health physicists. There was no formal instruction available to this first group of health physicists and they perforce received training as they felt their way by firsthand experience and by trial and error. Health physics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from the very beginning has been organized into three principal areas: applied activities, education and training and research.

Environmental Restoration Program Control Management System (open access)

Environmental Restoration Program Control Management System

Environmental Restoration managers need to demonstrate that their programs are under control. Unlike most industrial programs, the public is heavily involved in Environmental Restoration activities. The public is demanding that the country prove that real progress is being made towards cleaning up the environment. A Program Control Management System can fill this need. It provides a structure for planning, work authorization, data accumulation, data analysis and change control. But it takes time to implement a control system and the public is losing its patience. This paper describes critical items essential to the quick development and implementation of a successful control system.
