Electroplated Metals on Uranium for Aluminum Cladding (open access)

Electroplated Metals on Uranium for Aluminum Cladding

Abstract: "Aluminum-clad nickel-plated uranium is corrosion resistant in boiling water. Samples with intentional defects in the aluminum-nickel clodding layers, after testing for more than 300 hr. showed no sign of rapid failure. The study of electroplated metals on uranium for aluminum cladding has defined the effects of several processing variables on the corrosion resistance. The quality of the uranium and the quality of the aluminum-nickel bond were important. Heat treatment and vacuum outgassing of the nickel-plated uranium prior to aluminum cladding were beneficial, and minimizing the amount of air present in the hot-press assembly was desirable. Variation in the steps for electroplating on uranium did not affect the corrosion resistance of aluminum-clad uranium."

Grain Refinement of the As-Cast Uranium-5 w/o Chromium Alloy by Heat Treatment (open access)

Grain Refinement of the As-Cast Uranium-5 w/o Chromium Alloy by Heat Treatment

Introduction: "The uranium-5 w/o chromium alloy has been intensively investigated for use in a power reactor in the as-cast condition. However, when cast sample fuel elements were subjected to irradiation, their stability was found to be unsatisfactory. In order to improve the behavior of the alloy, a program of grain refinement by heat treatment was begun. The effect of chill casting on the heat-treated grain size was also investigated."

Uranium Deposits in Oolitic Limestone Near Mayoworth, Johnson County, Wyoming (open access)

Uranium Deposits in Oolitic Limestone Near Mayoworth, Johnson County, Wyoming

From abstract: The uranium deposits of the Mayoworth area, Johnson County. Wyo., are in oolitic limestone at the base of the Sundance formation of Late Jurassic age. The uranium mineral has been identified as metatyuyamunite, a hydrous calcium uranium vanadate, that coats joints and fractures and replaces calcite in both the cement and the oolites. The known deposits of the area are of sub-ore grade, have a high lime content, and are not of economic importance at this time.

Shock-Tube Experiments at University of Oklahoma and Cornell University

Abstract: "The shock-tube experiments of Professor R. G. Fowler and his co-workers at the University of Oklahoma, and of Professor Arthur Kantrowits and his group at Cornell University, are reported by the author, who visited the laboratories of the two groups. Fowler's group has studied expanding low-pressure sparks; Kantrowits and his group have studied shocks produced by the adiabatic expansion of a compressed gas."

The Design of a Pulsed Magnetic Field Coil for Table Top 1 (open access)

The Design of a Pulsed Magnetic Field Coil for Table Top 1

Abstract: "A cylindrical coil has been designed for pulsed field operation suitable for use in a model thermonuclear reactor. The coil has an eight-inch inside diameter and a length of fifty-one inches. Magnetic mirrors at the ends consist of double-layer solenoids six and one-half inches long designed to slip over the main coil. Subsequent models of this coil have been fabricated which improved the electrical insulation provided by the bonding materials and the mechanical rigidity of the coil. Peak central fields of fifteen kilogauss and mirror fields of thirty kilogauss have been obtained."

Mechanical and physical properties of uranium. Chapter 8 of nuclear metallurgy lectures

A knowledge of the mechanical and physical properties of uranium is important in understanding its pile behavior. The effects of irradiation on the properties of uranium will be dealt with in another chapter. However, it is important to know and understand the pre-irradiation properties of uranium prior to investigating the effects of irradiation. This chapter discusses the mechanical and physical properties of uranium.

Tube Power Limits -- Past, Present and Future (open access)

Tube Power Limits -- Past, Present and Future

During the history of operation of the Hanford reactors, several methods have been utilized to establish an outlet water temperature or ``Panellit`` limit based on the stability of water flowing through the process tubes. These methods have been known as ``Excess Header Pressure Limits,`` ``Trip Before Boiling Limits,`` and the most recent, ``Trip Before Instability Limits.`` Each new concept vas accepted only after considerable experimental data had proved the new method to be safe and operationally feasible. It is anticipated that in the future other tube outlet water temperature limits will be developed based on new technology. The purpose of this document is to present, in simple terms, an understandable explanation of previous operating limits, to discuss the status of the present Instability Limits, and to outline the direction of future work in raising the outlet water temperature limits.
