A spectrographic method using d-c arc excitation in a controlled atmosphere was developed to analyze for seven impurity elements in radioactive hafnium samples. Analysis requires as little as 35 mg of hafnium oxide. (auth)

Reactor support charge designs and patterns have been numerous and varied over the past few years, the basis for acceptance of a particular support loading being determined from a consideration of fabrication costs and the hydraulic characteristics of the proposed dummy load as it applies to a particular reactor. Since the first three or four dummy pieces downstream of the fuel column (and upstream of the column in a spline tube) are discarded after the irradiation process, it is desirable to use tubular dummies for this portion of the support charge which are less expensive to fabricate and which are easily identified during the charging-discharging process. However, there exists a remote possibility that one or more tubular pieces could be inadvertently placed in a rear nozzle resulting in a flow restriction in the process tube. These arrangements of tubular support pieces in the dummy pattern, i.e., tubulars positioned against the fuel column and/or in the process tube rear nozzles, have been hydraulically tested to determine if there is adequate and unrestricted flow at normal operating header pressures.

The objective of this irradiation is to further verify the corrosion rate of tubular-type fuel elements under conditions of high specific power and central core temperatures. This fuel will be the inner tube only of an NPR fuel assembly. As in previous tests, this inner tube rupture will be used to further substantiate the rupture detection instrumentation that is being used in the development of the NPR. Previously unirradiated fuel will be used in this test. The reactor is to operate at full power during the test. Permission is requested for charging two tubular elements The top element will have attached to it a hydraulic mechanism for opening a defect in the outer surface of the tube. The second or bottom element, will be used as a heater element to maintain loop temperature.

The surveillance photography of underground nuclear detonations at NTS was engineered by EG&G to furnish the following information on unexpected venting: (1) establish when, with respect to zero time, the venting occurred; (2) record the point or points of emission of the venting gases; (3) show the colors, if any, of the venting gases; (4) the direction of cloud travel; and (5) dimensions and volume of the cloud as a function of time. In addition, the film records provide a color documentary film including a record of gross surface motion and a record of unexpected surface phenomenon (such as in Longshot). Surveillance coverage starts at minus 5 seconds and continues to plus 30 minutes. This report describes the typical photographic program setup, films used, and film processing.

The objective of this test is to measure the emergency reactor flow through the high pressure crosstie line (HPCT) after the removal of the flow limiting orifices in the HPCT. The flow limiting orifices in the HPCT were removed on July 5, 1960, as per Design Change No. 383. The removal of the flow limiting orifice allowed increased emergency flow and brought the crosstie coolant flow more nearly into conformance with the coolant supply reliability criteria. The purpose of this test is to measure emergency flow under certain conditions so that available flow under all conditions may be more precisely determined.

A simple mathematical model was developed to describe the steady-state release rate of gaseous fission products from porous ceramic fuels in low- permeability containers. The resulting equations are used to analyze experimental release rate results obtained from a UC/sub 2/-fueled graphite fuel body enclosed in a low-permeability impregnated graphite container. The relative release rates of the fission-product species Kr/sup 85m/, Kr/sup 88/, and Xe/sup 133/ were predicted with reasonable success. Absolute-rate predictions were not possible due to lack of information on true permeability and porosity profiles in the graphite container. (auth)
