A calculation was performed to determine the highenergy portion of the gamma-ray flux at the surfacc of the uranium-aluminum BSF reactor. The flux was considered to consist entirely of the uncollided flux plus the Comptonscattered flux. The four sources of primary gamma rays included in the calculation were prompt fission gamma rays, capture gamma rays from aluminum, capture gamma rays from uranium, and fission-product decay gamma rays. These sources were divided into four energy groups. Although the assumptions used to calculate the Comptonscattered flux tended to over-estimate the actual spectrum, the calculated results were considerably lower than a previously measured spectrum.

Digital comnputer Program S constructs neutron and proton transport theory solutions having plane, cylindrical, or spherical symmetry. Lattice detail in geometry, energy, and momentum-angles is flexibleAnisotropic scattering- transfer is neglected. For aircraft nuclear propulsion applications, the initial version of the program developed as the Los Alamos SNG Neutron Code has been generalized to include the effects of time-delayed neutron or photon production and to provide the flux adjoint. The input consists of geometry, material concentrations, collision cross sections, scattering-transfer cross sections, fission multiplication cross sections, inverse period Laplace-timetransform of fission production spectra, and Laplacetime-transform of fixed source distribution. The output includes resctivity, critical size, flux distribution, adjoint distribution, and power distribution. (auth)

It is proposed to reduce the initial wall hangup and consequent plasma contamination of a stabilized pinched discharge by reducing the Bz pressure difference across the current sheath to nearly zero at early times. Two methods for accomplishing this are proposed, both involving multistage programming of the Bz system.

Shield weights were calculated for a number of fast reactors having desirable engineering characteristics using the Shield Optimization code. On the basis of these calculations, a Design Fast Reactor was chosen. This reactor, henceforth known as the PWAR-9, has a 12.75 inch core O.R. with a 2 inch Ni reflector. The reactor-shield weight and weight components for a supersonic mission, 2 man crew compartment, are given in table 1. The rpesent shield design uses U and LiR as shielding materials on the reactor and U and plastic on the crew compartment. No intermediate heat exchanger is used since hot Na is pumped directly to the engines. The dose from the activated Na is taken into account by putting more shielding on the crew compartment. No patch weights on the reactor have been added since it is estimated that little will be needed.

The second All-Ti loop, 1OOA loop H, was placed in operation for more than 400 hr with UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solution at 250 deg C and -- 1000 psi. A fourth test of the mockup of the Zircaloy-2--stainless steel transition joint used in the HRT reactor vessel was completed. The joint and bellows functioned properly and were leaktight. The series of long-term runs at 200, 250, and 300 deg C with solution proposed for use in the HRT was concluded. Stainless steel and Ti stress specimens exposed during the latter 13,000 hr of these tests gave no evidence of stress-corrosion cracking. Results of a study of the effect of heat treatment on corrosion of type 347 stainless steel are presented. Pretreatment of stainless steel for 100 hr at 250 deg C with oxygenated H/sub 2/O containing 100 or 200 ppm Cr/sup 6+/ as CrO/sub 3/ decreased initial weight losses on subsequent exposures to UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solutions. Stress-corrosion cracking of stainless steel in UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solutions is described. A number of alloys of Zr were corrosion tested in simulated HRT core solutions at 300 deg C. Type 347 stainless steel, surface hardened either by malcomizing or Thermospray 16-C, corroded …

From introduction: "Neutron absorption alignment chart for the measurement of neutron flux density."

Internal performance of an XJ79-GE-1 variable ejector was experimentally determined with the primary nozzle in two representative after-burning positions. Jet-thrust and air-handling data were obtained in quiescent air for 4 selected ejector configurations over a wide range of secondary to primary airflow ratios and primary-nozzle pressure ratios. The experimental ejector data are presented in both graphical and tabulated form.

High-speed direct and schileren motion pictures of the flame and associated shock waves were taken. Results regarding the description of the combustion and associated stream disturbances, static-pressure change at model reference surface caused by combustion, lift forces resulting from combustion, base pressure change caused by combustion, stream-parameter measurements during combustion, and surface temperature changes during combustion are provided.

"Several materials have been tested in the ceramic-heated jet (laboratory model) at a Mach number of 1.96 with a stagnation temperature of approximately 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Test models made of molybdenum were less affected by temperature than titanium, stainless steel, and an alloy of 90 percent tungsten, 6 percent nickel, and 4 percent copper. Titanium and steel burn with highly exothermic reactions when subjected to the 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit air jet" (p. 1).
