Determination of Thickness of Oxide Film on Phosphor Bronze (open access)

Determination of Thickness of Oxide Film on Phosphor Bronze

The thickness of an oxide film on phosphor bronze helices was determined by first establishing the oxygen content of the helix "as received" and after cleansing with nitric acid. Based on the assumption that the difference between these two values was the oxygen in the film, and that the film consisted entirely of cupric oxide, the thickness of the film was calculated from the density of cupric oxide, weight of the film, and surface area of film. A value of 1080 A was calculated as the thickness by this method.

Quarterly Report Technology of Non-Production Reactor Fuels Processing Budget Activity 2790 (open access)

Quarterly Report Technology of Non-Production Reactor Fuels Processing Budget Activity 2790

This report summarizes the research and development work carried out during December, 1959, and January and February, 1960, for Budget Activity 2790 - Separations Development for Non-Production Reactors. The major effort on Activity 2790 has been completed. Current efforts on the remaining problem areas will enable Hanford to begin reprocessing fuel elements from power reactors which employ depleted or slightly enriched uranium fuels in July, 1962.

Fission Project Yield of Inert Gases

The final percentage of xenon created by fission in uranium and plutonium is a function of the neutron flux intensity. The flux dependence results because axenon 133 and 135 can be converted to a a stable xenon isotope by neutron capture instead of decaying into cesium.

Full Scale 48 MC Cavity For Sparking Tests of Gaps Corresponding to 0.45 To 4.5 Mev Beam Energy

It is proposed to test gaps corresponding to deuteron energies in the range of 0.45 to 4.5 Mev. The accelerator to be modeled is a 48 mc/sec cylindrical cavity in the TM010 mode with [formula] repeat length, [formula] gap, 0.25 megavolt per cavity foot peak r.f. gradient and strong focusing magnets alternating polarity at each drift tube.

Silicon Nitride As A High-Temperature Radome Material (open access)

Silicon Nitride As A High-Temperature Radome Material

LRL has the responsibility of demonstrating the feasibility of a reactor for use as a power plant for a low-altitude, high-Mach-number missile. This reactor is literally a very high power air heater which must work at temperatures in excess of 2000' F. The reactor is exposed to high loads so one of the primary problems is providing high temperature structure. Considerable effort has been devoted to developing ceramic structural elements. One of the materials considered for this purpose is silicon nitride. In ceramic structural elements operating over large temperature ranges, a major problem is coping with thermal stress. In this respect there is a similarity with the radome problem. The work on silicon nitride at LRL consisted of limited fabrication studies (principally for familiarization), measurement of properties of interest to the application, and funding of fabrication scale-up efforts.

A Study of the Fabrication Failures for Zirconium and Zircaloy-2 Process Tubes and of the Annealing and Cold Rolling of Zircaloy-2 (open access)

A Study of the Fabrication Failures for Zirconium and Zircaloy-2 Process Tubes and of the Annealing and Cold Rolling of Zircaloy-2

A study of the fabrication failures for zirconium and zircaloy-2 process tubes was made. In the tube reducing operation, a non-uniform reduction in area for the cross section was found to be a major cause of failure. In annealing studies, a cycle of 2 hours at 820 deg C in vacuum followed by furnace cooling produced the greatest ductility of extruded zircaloy-2 for the annealing treatments studied. The ductility of cold worked and annealed zircaloy-2 was found to be superior to that of extruded and annealed material. The strain rate of a cold working process was found to affect the ductility of zircaloy-2.

Mitigating Economic Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Preserving U.S. Strategic Competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence

White paper authored by three members of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence to address AI-related aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic response and the implications of the crisis for America's security and strategic competitiveness. It offers five themed recommendations to use AI to reopen, assess, preserve, screen, and return the U.S.'s economic and national security concerns during and after the pandemic.

Weldability of Hayes Alloy #25 (open access)

Weldability of Hayes Alloy #25

Technical report describing the process to determine the fusion welding characteristics of Haynes Alloy #25 as applied to TLJ-100530, Corrosion Loops. Hayes Stellite Alloy #25 is a cobalt-base alloy for corrosion resistant high temperature applications. This material, when welded by the inert gas shielded tungsten arc method, produces sound ductile joints. Material thicknesses greater than 12 gauge require standard joint preparations, a V joint being preferred up to 1/4 inch and a U joint for greater thicknesses. Welding heat should be kept to a minimum followed by fast cooling. The molten metal is very fluid and may present difficulties when position welding.
