In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies. II, Autoclave Z18

In order to test the effect of chromate ion on the corrosion of Zircaloy-2, a 0.04 m uranyl sulfate solution (enriched) containing added acid, copper sulfate and 557 ppm of Cr (VI) was autoclaved with rocking at 280 degrees C for about eight days in the HB-5 facility of the LITR. The average corrosion rate established by the rate of consumption of oxygen was 9.9 mpy at a power density of 4.9 w/ml. It is indicated by comparison with a previous corrosion study under LITR radiation that the presence of Cr (VI) had no significant effect on the radiation corrosion of Zircaloy-2 by enriched uranyl sulfate solutions. However, the data are not conclusive and may be interpreted as showing a low corrosion rate for a limited period (i.e. a short term inhibition) followed by correspondingly rapid corrosion.

Determination of Trivalent Uranium with Methylene Blue (open access)

Determination of Trivalent Uranium with Methylene Blue

A direct titrimetric method for the determination of trivalent uranium in uranium trifluoride and mixtures of fused fluoride salts was developed. The method is based on the stoichiometric oxidation of trivalent uranium to the tetravalent oxidation state with an acidic solution of methylene blue. The sample containing trivalent uranium is dissolved at room temperature in an excess of standard methylene blue solution in a carbon dioxide atmosphere; the excess oxidant is variation of the method is 1.5 per cent for 5 mg quantities of trivalent uranium. The method was applied to various mixtures of fluoride salts containing both trivalent and tetravalent uranium.

The Influence of End Mirrors, High Density and Long Tube Length on Radial Diffusion (open access)

The Influence of End Mirrors, High Density and Long Tube Length on Radial Diffusion

Diffusion in an arc plasma across a magnetic field is investigated. The geometry is similar to that reported in ORNL-1890 but with the addition of magnetic mirrors on the ends of the arc chamber. It is shown that mirrors do not eliminate the "short circuit" effect. Comparison of the e-folding length, rₒ, of the radial ion density with and without mirrors, affords a direct measurement of ℓ/λ where ℓ is the arc length and λ the mean-free-path. In addition rₒ is independent of gas pressure with mirrors and varies as √p without mirrors. The condition for the elimination of the "short circuit" effect is discussed, as well as the case in which the "short circuit" is still present but the ions diffuse (rather than stream) to the end walls. In this case rₒ is directly proportional to the gas pressure. These effects are compared to some experimental results of Neidigh

Acceleration of Polarized Protons to Relativistic Energies (open access)

Acceleration of Polarized Protons to Relativistic Energies

Maintenance of polarization of polarized protons in a linear accelerator is known to be feasible. Circular accelerators present a different problem, and the investigation of the interaction of orbit dynamics and particle polarization in general is undertaken. The equation of motion of the spin vector of a charged particle in a magnetic field as formulated by Bargmann, Michel, and Telegdi is utilized in the study of depolarization for several accelerators. High values of depolarization are obtained, and means for avoiding such depolarization are suggested. (D.C.W.)

Non-destructive Testing Hanford Fuel

At present, emphasis is being given the application of nondestructive testing to the inspection of nuclear fuel in conjunction with complete product specifications. The objective is to quantitatively specify fuel quality parameters, and to measure the entire fuel production against these specifications nondestructively. Under this concept the acceptability of a given fuel element becomes a well-defined factor readily determined by appropriate nondestructive tests.

Density and Hydrogen Content of Uranium Oxide Cakes and Slurries

The work described was undertaken to provide data for nuclear safety studies concerning NPF reprocessing equipment. The original objective was to determine the uranium density and water (hydrogen) content of UO2-H2O mixtures ranging from compact centrifuge cakes to dilute slurries. The scope was later expanded to include mixtures of UO2 with hydrocarbon oil and mixtures of UO3-H2O.

Development of a Welding Process for End Closures on NPR and KER Fuel Element

With the development of the zircaloy-2 clad uranium fuel element, it was necessary to develop a method of closing the end of the element after the extruded tubes were cut to the desired length. Regardless of the ultimate design of the closure, a satisfactory zircaloy-2 fusion welding technique had to be worked out. The first fully successful welding was performed with electron beam welding in a vacuum chamber. To make satisfactory welds, the electron beam welding involved time and equipment, plus undue maintenance on the equipment.

The Approximation with Anisotropic Effects for Cylindrical Geometry

The method of spherical harmonic tensors developed Mark for solving the Boltzmann transport equation in isotropic media is herein extended to anisotropic media for cylindrical geometry. A formal solution is given for the case of two concentric cylindrical media, A and B, but no numerical work has yet been done. The following treatment differs from a similar one by the H. K. Ferguson Co. in that the external medium B is assumed to be both a neutron absorber and finite in extent rather than a non-absorber and infinite in extent.

Protection of Carbon Steel from Atmospheric Corrosion (open access)

Protection of Carbon Steel from Atmospheric Corrosion

The NPR design calls for carbon steel to be the major constituent in the reactor coolant piping system. The piping and its associated fittings will, in all likelihood, be exposed to atmospheric weather conditions during the period of reactor construction. This type of exposure causes rusting. From experience gained during the startup of KER Loop 1 it is expected that there will be initially high NPR coolant activity levels. The high activity during the startup of KER Loop 1 was partially caused by the activation of rust that was eroded from pipe walls. Prevention of rusting on the carbon steel prior to its introduction into the coolant system would reduce the initial activity levels.
