A Recirculating Supercritical Water Loop

From Abstract: "A recirculating high-pressure stainless steel loop was developed for the study of heat transfer from small-bore tubes to supercritical water. It was found that under certain conditions, hot spots developed on the test section. The conditions leading to the formation of hot spots were investigated; the results of several runs are tabulated here."

In-reactor corrosion of X-8001 and 1245 aluminum: Analysis of data from PT IP-42A (open access)

In-reactor corrosion of X-8001 and 1245 aluminum: Analysis of data from PT IP-42A

Failures of standard fuel element jackets (1245 aluminum alloy) after relatively short Hanford reactor exposures are occurring at high reactor power levels. Metallographic examination of fuel element jackets from short exposure ruptures shows the cause of failure to be rapid intergranular corrosion. This type of attack has been reproduced in laboratory tests by exposure to water at temperatures above 200 C, or to steam at temperatures higher than 300 C. Flow disruptions due to misalignment of the fuel elements within the reactor process tube, worn tube ribs, etc., are believed to cause the high local jacket temperatures necessary for the occurrence of intergranular corrosion.

Trajectory-Wise Analysis of Immobilized Plasma Including Electrons. Machine Calculations

Abstract: "The trajectory analysis of an immobilized plasma has been generalized to include the presence of electrons having a far similar radius of gyration and, therefore, fitting readily into the broader scale structure established by the ions. This problem has been adapted to machine calculations and the results for various strengths plasmas have been calculated."

Radiological Sciences Department investigation radiation incident, Class I, No. 299

Fragments of radioactive materials were deposited in the Redox area during August, 1953. By radiation monitoring, the location, physical properties, and dosage were determined. The cause was assumed to be the buildup of ammonium nitrate containing ruthenium on the filters of the Redox stack. The amount of occupational exposure, and the reasons why this incident happened were also discussed.
