A photoelectron spectrometer is built which analyzes for the kinetic energy of the photoionized electrons by retardation techniques. The signal to noise ratio is very high due to the use of a new lamp and increasing the aperture of the system. The resolution is found to be extremely low and the sources of difficulties are discussed and are being eliminated.

The first part of the report concerns itself with studies on photoionization, ionizing energy transfer and vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of olefins. In the second part of the report, semi-empirical methods of calculation have been examined and applied to predict the spectra and ionization potentials of some organo-metallics. The third part of the report contains a basic contribution towards understanding the mechanism of interaction of radiation with matter as well as the interaction between molecules in the condensed phase. The mechanism of the phosphorescence emission is understood and the effects of environmental perturbations is examined. Theoretical and experimental examination of the origin of optical rotation has been carried out and reported.

Process development personnel have been seeking means of improving the (after thermal exposure) adhesion of the S8DR ceramic coating to chromized Hastelloy N tubing. This effort has led to the incorporation of an elevated temperature chromium diffusion treatment prior to the application of the ceramic coating. This report describes the results of tests performed to ascertain the influence of the additional thermal treatment on the 1400/sup 0/F creep-rupture properties of S8DR tubing.

This report gives the status of production test control tube loadings in reactor process tubes containing significant amounts of SS materials. The data are given in table form. For further description of column headings and the current discharge goal exposure plan refer to Document DUN-1048.

The Nuclear Safety Mission consists of seven programs of broad integrated experimental and analytical studies designed to answer long-standing nuclear safety questions and thus assist in providing safeguards against nuclear accidents. It will provide data leading to the technical bases for controlling the consequences of postulated nuclear incidents. Safety standards in the area of nuclear and radiological control are tending towards increased restrictions. As this trend continues it will be necessary for Richland facilities to either show compliance or modify facilities for compliance with new standards.

This is number six in a planned series of reports intended to show the status and rates of deterioration of the iron-masonite biological shields of B, Dg DR, F, and H reactors. Since DR, F, and H reactors are in the deactivated state this is the final such report for them. Following the deactivation of D Reactor at the end of June, 1967, B Reactor will be the only one (out of the five with which the shield deterioration study began) to continue operating. Data for this report pertain to the top and left (far) side of the reactors and covers the period from January, 1963, through December, 1966.

Declassfied 30 Aug 1973. An investigation was conducted to determine the manufacturability of hot-pressed 75--25 wt% NbC--graphite composites. Commercially available and custom ground superfine carbide and graphite powder combinations were evaluated; the hot pressing operation was studied; and machining techniques were developed. The relationship of the physical properties of the starting powders to thermal and mechanical properties of the composites was studied. Room temperature and 2400 deg C tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths were determined; tensile creep at 24OO deg C and compressive deformation (creep) at 2200 deg C were studied; and thermal expansion and specific heat to 5000 deg F were determined. In addition, the effect of a post hot-pressing heat treatment was studied. Evaluation of results shows that equally dense, high strength composites can be obtained by hot-pressing large or small billets. For the composition studied, the resulting structure of the superfine carbide graphite powders was a weak carbide continuous phase in a dominant continuous graphite phase. The resulting structure from commercially available carbide/graphite powders was a dominant carbide network. Optimum mechanical properties were obtained both at room temperature and at high temperature, using normal commercially available high purity powders. Thermal properties do not appear to be dependent …

The purpose of this test is to provide a set of experimental data to test a compute code frequently used in nuclear safety analyses and to explore certain experimental techniques which may prove extremely valuable in the future. In addition, some basic physics parameters which will be measured may be used in an assessment of the feasibility of using a deactivated Hanford reactor for space-dependent transient tests.
