Preliminary Study of a Uranium - Bismuth Liquid Fuel Power Reactor L. F. R . 2 (open access)

Preliminary Study of a Uranium - Bismuth Liquid Fuel Power Reactor L. F. R . 2

Technical report and preliminary design calculations describing a type of liquid fuel reactor adaptable for production or breeding on a U-233 cycle based on data at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Describes design calculations for generating significant amounts of power and neutrons by use of uranium-bismuth solutions with fused salts in the reactor system.

Irradiation Effects on 2S Aluminum (open access)

Irradiation Effects on 2S Aluminum

As a result of unreported information, it was suspected by some people that a change in dimension was experienced by 2S Aluminum due to a sudden change in neutron flux impinging on it. This was thought to be of the order of 500 microinches per inch in magnitude. Such an effect, if present, could help explain some of the creep phenomena reported lately (i.e. change in creep rate due to cyclotron bombardment.)

Status of Radioactive Waste Processing and Accumulation in Presently Operating AEC Research and Productive Sites (open access)

Status of Radioactive Waste Processing and Accumulation in Presently Operating AEC Research and Productive Sites

It is the purpose of this report to present a quantitative picture of the overall waste problems at the presently operating major A.E.C. sites. Presented herewith are data on the volumes and radioactive concentrations of the wastes handled and effluents discharged, available tankage and processes flow sheets from each site.
