Cyclotron Resonance Heating of a Deuterium Plasma (open access)

Cyclotron Resonance Heating of a Deuterium Plasma

Abstract: "The energy gained by a deuterium plasma, from a three megacycle per second radiofrequency field, was studied experimentally. A static magnetic field, in the form of a "mirror", was used. The coil of an rf resonant circuit, placed at the center of the machine produced a time-varying magnetic field parallel to the static field. This, in turn, induced an electrical field, in an azmuthal direction, which acted on the ions. When this was in synchronism with the cyclotron frequency, the ions could pick up energy. At this resonance the light intensity from the plasma increased markedly. This effect was used as evidence for the transfer of energy to the ions."

Distribution of Elements in the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation in the Jo Dandy Area, Montrose County, Colorado (open access)

Distribution of Elements in the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation in the Jo Dandy Area, Montrose County, Colorado

The following report covers a chemical study that was made of the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation of Jurassic age in the Jo Dandy area, Montrose County, Colorado in 1954. The chemical study was made to investigate the distribution of elements in the host rocks with emphasis on the pattern of variation as related to the position of known ore bodies, and to determine average concentrations of some of the elements in the major rock types.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Thin Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy Sheet (open access)

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Thin Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy Sheet

Abstract: "The oxidation resistance of thin sheets of iron-28 w/o chromium-2.67 to 10.0 w/o alloys, nominally 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, 0.012, and 0.016 in. thick, was determined by exposure in static air for 100 hr at 2100 and 2300 F. A minimum of 3.67 and 9.37 w/o aluminum was necessary to prevent excessive oxidation of 0.004-in.-thick sheet material at 2100 and 2300 F, respectively. Correspondingly, specimens of lower aluminum content and greater thickness withstood the oxidation attack. Oxidation of iron-chromium-aluminum alloys appeared to be related to the diffusion of aluminum to surfaces of the sheet to form an adherent protective layer of Al2O3."

A Preliminary Study of Pre-Solvent Extraction Treatment of Stainless Steel-Uranium Fuels with Dilute Aqua Regia (open access)

A Preliminary Study of Pre-Solvent Extraction Treatment of Stainless Steel-Uranium Fuels with Dilute Aqua Regia

The continuous dissolution of 304 stainless steel and stainless steel-UO2 alloy in dilute aqua regia was studied with subsequent stripping of the dissolver product to remove chloride ion. The process has the advantage of producing, by means of a simple head end treatment, a solvent extract feed in a conventional nitric acid medium so that existing solvent extraction processes, materials of construction and waste disposal methods can be used. The purposes of this study were to investigate the variables affecting the dissolution process and to obtain dissolver scale-up data, and to investigate the removal of chloride from the dissolver product and the variables affecting the stripping operation. A continuous flooded pot dissolver was used. It has the advantages of stability of operation and ease of control in comparison with column dissolvers and requires a minimum of mechanical processing prior to dissolution. Stripping of the dissolver product to remove chloride ion was studied in a 4-in. diameter Pyrex bubble-cap column containing 12 single bubble cap plates. Continuous dissolution rates and dissolver product stainless steel loading were correlated with aqua regia feed composition, acid feed rate and surface area exposed to reaction. Profiles of chloride concentration down the stripping column were obtained …
