Separation plant effluent gas measurements for determining plutonium production rate (open access)

Separation plant effluent gas measurements for determining plutonium production rate

The use of ion chambers or proportional beta counters is recommended for the measurement of Kr{sup 85} in separations plant gaseous effluent. It will be necessary to evaluate the Xe{sup 133} present if short cooling times (less than about 90 days) since irradiation are used. This can be accomplished through calibration and decay measurements. It is concluded that the Kr{sup 85} evolution could be determined to about {plus_minus}5% with careful measurements.

Theoretical Rocket Performance of Liquid Methane with Several Fluorine-Oxygen Mixtures Assuming Frozen Composition (open access)

Theoretical Rocket Performance of Liquid Methane with Several Fluorine-Oxygen Mixtures Assuming Frozen Composition

"Theoretical rocket performance for frozen composition during expansion was calculated for liquid methane with several fluorine-oxygen mixtures for a range of pressure ratios and oxidant-fuel ratios. The parameters included are specific impulse, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. The maximum calculated value of specific impulse for a chamber pressure of 600 pounds per square inch absolute (40.827atm) and an exit pressure of 1 atmosphere is 315.3 for 79.67 percent fluorine in the oxidant" (p. 1).

Investigation Of Windows And Shields For Neutron Point Sources

An empirical approach for the evaluation of shielding materials for macrochemical manipulations of spontaneously fissioning heavy elements (curium and californium) has revealed interesting comparisons. High-density metal halide solutions were compared with lead glass and with rare earth glass for use as shielding windows. Laminated shields of lead-paraffin and uranium-paraffin were compared with water and with paraffin for shielding walls.

The SRE fuel is 2.8% enriched with a maximum burnup of 1,000 Mvd/ton and minimum cooling of 120 days. Each element contains 9 kg of uranium metal (~2 kg U-235) and is made up from 84 slugs (3/4"D x 6'"), clad with (10 mil wall) stainless steel tubing. It is planned to ship the fuel from Santa Susana, California, to Oak Ridge in the modified PAR loop carriers, with a maximum of 10 elements being shipped in each carrier per trip.

Parameters of Dissolver Equipment Design - Power Fuel Reprocessing

The Interim Power Fuels Reprocessing Program, as established by the Atomic Energy Commission, provides the service of recovering uranium, thorium, plutonium, etc., from irradiated fuels discharged from non-production reactors of both public and private ownership. To provide this service on an interim basis and at minimum capital investment, the Commission has assigned the processing responsibility for the various fuel types to several AEC sites. The sites are to be assigned fuel types most similar to their normal production. As a result, HAPO has been assigned the responsibility for processing the low enrichment uranium and uranium oxide type fuels with isotopic content up to 5% uranium-235. In addition, some plutonium base fuels will be processed at Hanford.

Analysis of Six-Bar Linkage Using Digital Computer (open access)

Analysis of Six-Bar Linkage Using Digital Computer

Summary. The analysis of the motion of a six-bar linkage is difficult because of the large number of variables involved and the large number of calculations that have to be made for each position of the linkage. If a digital computer is used to make the calculations required for a multi-position analysis of a mechanism, it is feasible to design by analyzing a large numbers of similar linkages and selecting the optimum configuration. In this paper expressions have been derived for the output angle as a function of the input angle and the transmission angle as a function of the input angle for any single-degree-of-freedom six-bar linkage for which the parameters are known An example showing the usefulness of a six-bar computer program as a mechanism design tool is discussed.
