Comparison of Radiation-Induced Graft Copolymerization Untilizing Electron Accelerators and Isotope Sources as Radiation Initiators

"Graft polymers were made by Co60 mutual irradiation of mixtures of styrene and methyl acrylate in contact Teflon. These graft copolymers were analyzed by infra-red absorption and their composition determined. The composition of the graft copolymer formed from styrene and methyl acrylate was different from that which is predicted by the copolymer composition equation."

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra (open access)

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra

"The previously found maximum in the cosmic radiation energy spectrum is discussed, and the possibility that it arises in part from a misinterpretation of the data due to oversimplifying assumptions about the composition of the beam is examined. The importance that lack of recognition of isotopic composition may have is pointed out, and it is clear that this importance is strongly dependent on the measurements made and on the cut-off rigidity."

Preliminary Design of a 10-Mw(t) Pebble-Bed Reactor Experiment (open access)

Preliminary Design of a 10-Mw(t) Pebble-Bed Reactor Experiment

The objectives of this study have been to examine the problems of the pebble-bed reactor concept and to conceive a design of a facility for investigating the feasibility of this type of reactor. The design must provide for adequate leaktightness of the contaminated-gas system and adequate maintenance of contaminated components, the most vital feasibility questions of the concept.

Recommended high-tank temperatures for maintenance of high-tank backup support. Revision 1 (open access)

Recommended high-tank temperatures for maintenance of high-tank backup support. Revision 1

This document consists of information about the cooling systems of Hanford Production Reactors. It is the purpose of this letter, written May 8, 1961, to update recommendations of high-tank temperatures required to insure acceptable high-tank backup support. It does not appear practicable to relate the somewhat arbitrary standards of reference for backup support to process operating limits, i.e., reactor power levels, particularly as a mandatory requirement. For this reason, we have chosen at this time not to include these limits as a process standards` requirement. Considerable emphasis should be placed on insuring that the high-tank backup support be maintained in the maximum practical manner. Tables are attached showing high-tank temperature versus reactor power level relationships to satisfy the intent of our backup criteria and, through compliance, will insure that high-tank flow rates will be adequate during a reactor emergency following the loss of electrical power and steam.
