On the Statistics of Rod Warping (open access)

On the Statistics of Rod Warping

Abstract. The probability of exceeding assigned values of displacements or forces in simple rod models assembled from slugs picked at random is discussed, and some estimate for the statistical gain resulting from use of shorter slugs is obtained. The probability that a rod with self-warping will touch the top of the tube appears great enough to justify a recommendation of the use of top ribs.

Neutron Distribution Around a black Sphere with a Gap (open access)

Neutron Distribution Around a black Sphere with a Gap

Abstract. Successive approximations ae obtained from transport theory for the neutron distribution around a black sphere surrounded by a spherical gap and a non-absorbing medium extending to infinity. Six cases are calculated numerically to show the difference between this treatment and simple diffusion theory. The extrapolation distance and a quantity that is essentially the thermal utilization are calculated in different approximations. It is found that the neutron density in the gap, instead of being a constant as predicted by the simple theory, may vary by a factor of one-third in cases of practical interest.

Fission Product Poisoning in a Pile (open access)

Fission Product Poisoning in a Pile

Abstract. The effect of the neutron flux on the relative importance of different fission product poisons is discussed. The general expression for the poising of a fission product is given with the various equations for special cases of interest. The formulae are applied to the problem of finding the poisoning due to fission products at the end of one day in a pile operating with a flux of 4 x 10(14) neutrons/cm(2)/soc. These results are summarized in the table on page 12. Appendix I contains a revised list of cross sections x yields for all stable isotopes. Such a list was first given by Wheeler in CP-889. Appendix II contains a list of radioactive fission products with half lives greater than one day with data about yields, parents, gaseous ancestors, and numbers of neutrons.

The Thermal Conductivity of Uranium (open access)

The Thermal Conductivity of Uranium

Abstract. The thermal conductivity of uranium as a function of temperature is measured by comparing its conductivity with that of a sample of brass. An absolute measurement is then made of the conductivity of the brass sample. The thermal conductivities as a function of temperature of two samples of extruded uranium rod are given.

Melting Point -- Composition Diagrams in the U-UBr3 System

Abstract. A portion of the liquid-solid phase equilibrium region of the system U-UBr3 has been investigated by the method of thermal analysis. Uranium tribromide was prepared by introducing bromine vapor into a bulb containing finely divided uranium formed from the hydride. Cooling curves were obtained with tribromide and then with various compositions of tribromide and uranium. the information obtained showed that no solid sub halide exists but that the metal was soluble in the halide.
