Zircex Uranium Sublimate Loss (open access)

Zircex Uranium Sublimate Loss

"One of the limitations of the Zircex Process is the large percentage loss of U which is carried off with the volatile ZrCl/sub 4/. Since the ratio of U to Zr in the fuel element is quite small (< 1%), a large percentage of U loss can be caused by small amounts of U in the ZrCl/sub 4/ sublimate. The U loss must be kept below 1% if the Zircex Process is to be adapted to industrial scale processing."

RAYPAC : a Special-Purpose Analog Computer

As an aid in forecasting possible blast damage in areas distant from a bomb burst point, a special-purpose electronic analog computer has been developed. Sound ray paths (orthogonal trajectories to sound wave front) are computed as a function of meteorological conditions.

The Equation of State of Water on the Thomas-Fermi Model (open access)

The Equation of State of Water on the Thomas-Fermi Model

Two methods are described for extending the Thomas-Fermi model of a compressed atom to molecules or mixtures of the type Z Zn. The methods are applied to H2O at zero temperature to determine pressure and internal energy as functions of the density, the position of the protons relative to the oxygen nucleus, and the electrostatic potential distribution within the molecule.

A Parametric Study of a Gas Cooled Reactor

The results of a parametric study on a gas cooled reactor are reported on herein. The system considered was a helium cooled, UO2 fueled arrangement with the fuel assemblies consisting of clusters of long cylindrical elements, each element covered b a stainless steel jacket. The axial power distribution was assumed to be a "chopped cosine" having an axial peak-to-average power 1.32.

Lecture Notes on Reactor Controls (open access)

Lecture Notes on Reactor Controls

This course on reactor controls is for the purpose of acquainting the student with some of the elementary considerations involved in setting up a control and safety system for a nuclear reactor. This material is the outgrowth of the notes prepared for the lectures on Reactor Controls given in the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technologu. The lectures given by T. E. Cole in 1953-1955 are the basis of portions of the subject matter on reactor kinetics. Many suggestions and ideas contributed by E. R. Mann are included throughout almost every section. In addition, several members of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and of the Reactor Controls Department in particular, have provided information which has been included in these lectures notes.

The Equation of the Fusion Curve (open access)

The Equation of the Fusion Curve

A generalization of the Lindemann law is used in connection with the Murnaghan equation of state for a solid to derive theoretically the empirical Simon equation for the fusion curve. For the alkali metals it is shown that experimental values of the temperature exponent in the Simon equation are quantitatively compatible with the theoretical evaluation given, and, furthermore, that the theory can predict approximate values of the experiment, in practice.

Fundamentals of Glass-to-Metal Bonding. [Part] 5-A. Temperature and Pressure Dependence of the Wettability of Metals by Glass. [Part] 5-B. Reactions of Tantalum and sodium Silicate Glass. Technical Report No. 5

Part A. The major effort during the past year has been the construction of a suitable vacuum furnace for studying the effects of temperature and pressure on the wettability of metals by glass. A systems was completed that was capable of subjecting test combinations up to temperatures of 1400 degree C at a working pressure of 1 x 10(-5) mm. of Hg. Part B. A compound, identified by X-ray analysis as sodium meta tantalate (na2Ta2O6), was found at the interface between a sodium silicate glass and tantalum metal which had been heated in vacuum to 1000 degree C. thermodynamic calculations, followed by further experimental evidence, were used to determine the chemical reaction between tantalum and sodium silicate which resulted in the formation of Na2Ta3O6. the compound was synthesized by other methods, and its structure investigated.

Estimated Gamma Radiation Levels at Access Holes in the HRT Shielding (open access)

Estimated Gamma Radiation Levels at Access Holes in the HRT Shielding

An estimate has been made of the gamma radiation levels at access holes in the HRT Shielding when the plugs have been removed to service or maintain the reactor. In every case the radiation level at the holes was greater than the maximum permissible exposure rate of 0.3 roentgens per week. The radiation through the holes can be attenuated to some extent by flooding the reactor cell up to the flange to be disconnected. However, shielding would still be required and it is more practical to provide a small additional shield thickness to compensate for the moderate attenuation that could be gained from flooding.
