Uranium Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance of the Shiprock NTMS Quadrangle, New Mexico/Arizona, Including Concentrations of Forty-Two Additional Elements

From introduction: This report presents uranium and other elemental data resulting from the Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) of the Shiprock National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle, New Mexico/Arizona, by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL).

Effect of Temperature and Reactivity Changes in Operation of the Los Alamos Plutonium Reactor (open access)

Effect of Temperature and Reactivity Changes in Operation of the Los Alamos Plutonium Reactor

The operation of the Fast Reactor is considered in terms of normal equilibrium conditions and normal shut-down. The proposed loading, control rod adjustment and subsequent "floating" operation are discussed. Safety devices and interlocks are described. Temperature and reactivity changes are examined with respect to various system failures, phase changes, and "flashing" of the reactor. Slow changes due to faulty slug cooling are also considered. The calculations were initially based upon 10 kw operation. Performance tests of the mercury system now indicate that 20-kw operation may be feasible.
