Compatibility Tests of Various Materials in Molten Sodium

Several compatibility test of various materials in contact in sodium under 500 psi pressure were conducted for 716 hr at 1500 F. Of the diffusion couples studies, the Inconel-beryllium system showed the largest amount al alloying. The reaction between molybdenum and beryllium resulted in the formation of two compounds, both of which were severely cracked in several areas. The molybdenum-INOR #8, and the INOR #8p type 316 stainless steel interfaces showed little if any alloying.

Neutron Streaming Through Boundaries in a Mock-Up of the SIR Rotating Plug (open access)

Neutron Streaming Through Boundaries in a Mock-Up of the SIR Rotating Plug

This report is a summary of the neutron attenuation data which have been obtained at the Brookhaven shielding facility on a mock-up of the fuel-rod-unloading plug used in the KAPL Reactor. Before this program was initiated, a number of small scale tests had been made in the ORNL lid tank on carbon steel mock-ups of components of the rotating plug. The results of the tests indicated considerable neutron streaming through the vertical steel and air members of the plug. However, the lid tank source strength and dimensions did not permit the tests to be extended to the full plug height. In view of the concern aroused by the ORNL tests and the absence of fundamental information on the transmission of neutrons through steel and the addition height (12') available here resulted in a request for BNL to construct and test a mock-up of a sector of the SIR top plug in accordance with KAPL specifications.

Effects of Low Levels of X-Rays and Irradiation from C14 and H3 on Cell Population Kinetics in the Root Tip of Tradescantia (open access)

Effects of Low Levels of X-Rays and Irradiation from C14 and H3 on Cell Population Kinetics in the Root Tip of Tradescantia

Reciprocal labelling in double-labelling experiments with H3- and C14- thymidine showed that when H3- thymidine (1μc/ml for 0.5 hr) was given first in the labelling sequence followed by a 4 hr interval before the C14- thymidine treatment, that passage of cells into and out of DNA synthesis was normal. When C14 was first in the sequence, the rate at which cells entered DNA synthesis was decreased. This was attributed to a radiation effect produced by the β-rays from the C14. The rate at which cells entered DNA synthesis was studied after 0.1, 1 and 10 rads of x-rays. A dose of 1 and 10 rads decidedly depressed the rate. Treatment of roots with 2, 20, and 200 μc/ml of tritiated water for 0.5 hr showed that the 2 higher concentrations produced an effect similar to the x-rays. This indicated that somewhere between 1 and 8 disintegrations per cell per 0.5 hr will produce a decrease in the rate at which cells enter DNA synthesis. In both the x-ray and H32O experiments the depression of the rate that cells entered DNA synthesis seemed to reach saturation at the higher doses.

Parameters of the 132 eV Neutron Resonance in Co 59 (open access)

Parameters of the 132 eV Neutron Resonance in Co 59

An accurate determination of the parameters of the resonance excited by the interaction of the 132 eV neutrons with the Co 59 target nucleus has been made, using the fast choppers at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States and Chalk River Laboratory in Canada. Neutron transmission through thick and thin samples resulted in the following parameters: [parameters not transcribed]. In addition, measurements of the resonance capture γ-ray intensity gave the value for the radiation width Γγ= 0.40 ± 0.04 eV, based on the known thermal capture cross section of cobalt of 37.5 barns. The reduced and total resonance capture integrals are calculated from the above parameters to be 50.5 ± 5.5 and 67.0 ± 5.5 barns, respectively. The above results are compared with previously determined resonance parameters and also with direct measurements of the total resonance capture integral.

Role of space charge in beam transport. [Review] (open access)

Role of space charge in beam transport. [Review]

Space charge as it affects ion beam transport is reviewed. The approach here will be to derive beam-current criteria for divergence from space charge, review recent theoretical models for fractional space-charge neutralization, discuss space-charge-related observations on ion-beam transport in a specific experimental system, and briefly note several applications using space charge. Experimental measurements of effective space charge are discussed for a dc ion-source test stand using a 90/sup 0/ double-focusing magnet for species separation and for a solenoidal lens magnet for trim focus of the ion beam preparatory to entrance into a 400-kV accelerator column.

Studies of combustion reactions at the state-resolved differential cross section level (open access)

Studies of combustion reactions at the state-resolved differential cross section level

State-resolved differential reaction cross sections provide perhaps the most detailed information about the mechanism of chemical reaction, but heretofore they have been extremely difficult to measure. This program explores a new technique for obtaining differential cross sections with product state resolution. The three-dimensional velocity distribution of state-selected reaction products is determined by ionizing the appropriate product, waiting for a delay while it recoils along the trajectory imparted by the reaction, and finally projecting the spatial distribution of ions onto a two dimensional screen using a pulsed electric field. Knowledge of the arrival time allows the ion position to be converted to a velocity, and the density of velocity projections can be inverted mathematically to provide the three-dimensional velocity distribution for the selected product. The main apparatus has been constructed and tested using photodissociations. The proposed research will both develop the new technique and employ it to investigate methyl radical, formyl radical, and hydrogen atom reactions which are important in combustion processes. We intend specifically to characterize the reactions of CH{sub 3} with H{sub 2} and H{sub 2}CO; of HCO with O{sub 2}; and of H with CH{sub 4},CO{sub 2}, and O{sub 2}.
