Generalized Heat Conduction Code for the IBM-7090 Computer

The IBM-70% code GHT has been programmed for the 7090computer, to be run under control of the IBM-7090 FORTAN Monitor System. By eliminating the use of tapes for intermediate number storage, it has been possible to reduce computing time by a factor of 26 over the 704. A minimum of three tapes are required; one for input, one for output, and the System tape. One scratch tape is required for transient problems, and one punch tape is required if the steady-state temperature distribution is to be punched on cards.

Specifications for Fuel Assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (open access)

Specifications for Fuel Assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor

These specifications for the fuel assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) have been developed for use in procuring the first core loading. A fuel assembly for EGCR consists of a cluster of seven cylindrical fuel elements spaced and supported within a graphite sleeve. Each fuel element consists of a stainless steel tube containing a column of hollow UO2 pellets and having a spacer brazed at the midsection to control the spacing between fuel elements in a cluster. A master specification for the fuel assembly, a supplementary specification for each of the components, and a specification on record keeping during manufacture are included.

Pion Resonances in π⁻-p Interactions at 4.65 Bev/c (open access)

Pion Resonances in π⁻-p Interactions at 4.65 Bev/c

This note describes some results of the study of single pion production in π⁻-p interactions at 4.65 Bev/c, using the BNL 20" Hydrogen Bubble Chamber. It is well known that the observability of some of the particle resonances (e.g. 33 Isobar and η) varies markedly with the energy of the incident particle. The ρ meson has been observed in π⁻-p interactions at 1.25 Bev/c and 1.9 Bev/c incident pion energies. Evidence will be shown that this resonance persists with the much higher incident pion energy used in the present experiment.

The Blast Cleaning Process as an Aid to Visual Weld Inspection (open access)

The Blast Cleaning Process as an Aid to Visual Weld Inspection

Late in 1958 it became apparent that some fuel elements were failing in the Hanford reactors as a result of water entering through the weld. The mode of entry appeared to be first through a void in the weld, then through a non-wet area or a train of voids in the braze, and finally to the uranium core. Defective closures of a similar nature were also typical of many fuel elements which have failed in the autoclaving operation as shown in Figure 1.

Recovery of U from Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated UC2 Spheroids (open access)

Recovery of U from Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated UC2 Spheroids

100% recovery of uranium from pyrolytic carbon-coated spheroids of uranium dicarbide has been accomplished by an aqueous electrolytic process at the small scale laboratory level. This result was obtained in a system which circulated 1 molar nitric acid through a thin bed of the spheres. The bed was supported between a glass frit and the anode, with which the bed was in contact. The anode was a spiral of platinum wire; the cathode was a grid of titanium wire. Current density was about 0.2 amp/cm2 based on geometric surface area calculated from the average particle size of 150 microns. Initial flow rate was about 1.3 ml/cm2/sec. Reaction temperature was 72-82°C; time was 15 hours. At 1/5 the above current density and at the same temperature recovery was smaller and was independent of concentration of nitric acid over the range 1-4 molar; also recovery in 1 molar ammonium nitrate was about the same as in 1 molar HNO3. About a 100-fold increase in recovery was obtained by going from a convection stirred cell at 90°C to the pumped type of cell at 54°C using ammonium nitrate as the electrolyte.

Code Listings for the Floss III - Compatible Programs Including Floss Type 3 and Type 12, Nomac, and Dash N

FLOSS III is a third-generation version of a digital computer program which solves a one-dimensional difference representation of the momentum, energy, continuity, and state equations for turbulent, compressible gas flow in equivalent hydraulic channels. Extensive use of this program has been employed in the design and performance analyses of Pluto-type nuclear heat exchangers, and in the specific case of the Tory II-A test series, agreement was obtained to better than 5% for all experimentally measured parameters. The NOMAC and DASH-N programs combine the effects of up to thirty varieties of channels with the dependent boundary conditions imposed by a common inlet diffuser and exit nozzle. The resulting calculations yield performance information for blow-down facility and ramjet flight condition application of the heat exchanger.

Metastable States of Hyperfragments and the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Λ-Hyperon (open access)

Metastable States of Hyperfragments and the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Λ-Hyperon

"We want to point out that there is a possible method for determining the anomalous magnetic moment of the Λ from the observation of metastable states of hyperframents. There are two possible sources for the apparent difference of binding energies of a hyperfragment. One of these comes from the difference of Q values due to the decay into an excited and ground states of the residual nucleus. The other possibility will arise if there exists a metastable state of the decaying hyperfragment."
