Abstract: The MSAR corrosion test loop was used to study the effect of VKE-shaped crevices on the corrosion resistance of Zircaloy under boiling heat-transfer condtions in both ammoniated and lithiated water at pH 10.5.

Summary: Report SL-1868 is a technical and economic feasibility study of four containment methods, i.e., standard containment, pressure relief, pressure supression and low pressure containment, for 44 MWe direct cycle and 180 and 300 MWe dual cycle boiling water reactor plants.

From abstract: Seismic waves resulting from a 5 kiloton nuclear detonation 1200 feet deep in a salt bed near Carlsbad, New Mexico were measured by strong-motion seismographs operated by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on the surface in the distance range from 0.5 to 8.8 miles and underground in a potash mine 8.7 to 11.2 miles distant.

Abstract: FAIM is a general multigroup, one-dimensional diffusion equation code programmed in FORTRAN language for the IBM 7090 computer.

This technical report describes a pulse height converter that employs the R.F. vernier method. This particular converter has been developed for use with the pulsed beam facility of the BNL Van de Graaff. This report then details a number of tests of the converter made using a RIDL model 34-12, 400-channel analyzer. The report includes 6 figures and 4 circuit diagrams to accompany the findings.

This technical report seeks to ascertain which amine species cause the synergistic effect exerted by tri-n-octylamine (TNOA) on the solvent extraction of thorium by TTA, the nature of the species formed, and the values of the equilibrium constants involved. This report also includes 2 figures and 2 tables to accompany the findings.

This technical report reviews the general purposes and immediate goals of the Heat Transfer Group at BNL's study of the heat transfer characteristics of alkali metals with phase change in forced convective flow. This report also presents a brief description of the design and development of the test loop. Figures detailing findings accompany the report.

Abstract: "Theoretical equations have been derived for calculating heat transfer coefficients for fluids flowing through concentric annuli for the following two cases: (A) constant and equal heat fluxes from both walls, and (B) constant, but unequal, heat fluxes from the walls, with equal wall temperatures at a given axial position along annular channel. In the derivations, the conditions of fully-established flow, and independence of physical properties with temperature variation across the flow channel, were assumed. The only geometrical parameter in this general case is the radius ratio r2/r1, and in the study it was varied from 1.0 to 10.0."

This report investigates the Szilard-Chalmers reaction in a number of crystalline compounds with a special effort made to maintain a low temperature during bombardment, storage and dissolution.

From abstract: "The effects of a number of substances that depress protoheme formation and affect free protoporphyrin production in duck erythrocytes in vitro were measured."

Technical report investigating the solvent extraction of thorium. The solvent extraction of thorium by the chelating agent, thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA), has proved to be a very effective tool for studying the complex ion chemistry of thorium. This study led to the establishment of the existence of aqueous complexation by the chelating agent.

Technical report outlining the plan to develop the Brookhaven chemonuclear in-pile test loop because the interest in utilizing reactor radiation energy (fission-fragment recoil and neutron-gamma) for production of chemicals has developed to the point where a loop to study chemonuclear system in a reactor under dynamic conditions is necessary.
