Specifications including detail dimension, materials, fabrication steps, acceptance criteria, and final assembly steps for the swaged uranium dioxide, 19-rod cluster Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor fuel element.

Chain reacting conditions for plutonium nitrate in water solution have been examined experimentally for a variety of sizes of spheres and cylinders.

This study was undertaken for the USAEC under Contract AT(04-3)-189, Project Agreement No. 6, to investigate desirable features of a sodium cooled, graphite moderated uranium fueled power reactor using the modular concept, and, based on this investigation, evaluate the economic potential of this reactor type.

Graphite reacts with such gases as CO{sub 2}, O{sub 2}, or water vapor to form gaseous oxides of carbon. In the case of CO{sub 2}-graphite interaction, the reaction rate is not significant until about 550 C. Water oxidizes graphite, very roughly, three times faster than CO{sub 2}. Air will oxidize graphite appreciably at temperatures below 500 C. Graphite removal from Hanford reactors is very important, since graphite is used both as a structural support and a moderator for neutrons. Griggs has shown that small graphite samples oxidized to 10 per cent weight loss had only about one-half their original compression strength. Hence, the longevity of the reactors depends to a great extent on maintaining a low graphite oxidation rate. A means of monitoring the extent of graphite loss, i. e., the burnout rate, is necessary to establish future reactor operational standards. Presently, weighed samples of reactor grade graphite are placed along the length of an empty process channel in each reactor. Thus, a sample is exposed to the reactor`s ambient conditions of power level, moderator temperature, and gas composition. This program was initiated in the vicinity of June, 1953 by Woodley. This report presents data on graphite burnout obtained from …

Introduction: This is the fourth report in a series of reports dealing in particular with a reactor safety device of a double diaphragm type.

Abstract: A device to detect the presence of hydrogen in sodium has been developed. Such a device, installed in a sodium heated steam generator, would signal the presence of water in the sodium resulting from a leak in the sodium-water barrier.

Abstract: This report describes an advanced sodium-cooled, graphite-moderated nuclear power plant which utilizes high-pressure, high-temperature steam to generate electricity at a high thermal efficiency.

Abstract: This report is a description of a 200 channel digital recording system used to record high temperature strain gage outputs and associated temperatures.

Abstract: It has been proposed that a fuel element containing porous uranium be used for moderately high temperature applications. In an effort to determine the structural integrity of this type of fuel body, thermal cycling tests have been conducted on porous uranium.

S>Several viewing devices were built or purchased and various viewing aids were developed to permit examination of the core vessel of the Homogeneous Reactor Test. The hole in the core vessel was viewed and photographed from both the inside and the outside. A number of simple periscopes were designed and fabricated. A small television camera was purchased, and manipulators were built to insent it in the core or in the blanket. A radiation-resistant 21-ft-long periscope was procured which is 7/8 in. in diameter and has a 180 deg field of view. (auth)
