THE EFFECT OF PLANT THERMAL EFFICIENCY ON THE COST OF NUCLEAR POWER (open access)

THE EFFECT OF PLANT THERMAL EFFICIENCY ON THE COST OF NUCLEAR POWER

Nuclear power cost is plotted versus thermal efficiency. The relationship is not limited to any particular reactor type and is applicable for any reactor system where steam is the working fiuid for the turbogenerator. (T- R.H-)

Remote Maintenance Experimental Work on a Reactor System Pump (open access)

Remote Maintenance Experimental Work on a Reactor System Pump

An experimentally determined evaluation of standardremote-handling equipment applied to the problems associated with remote maintenance of a typical reactor system component is presented It is comcluded that commercially available equipment can be used and that a good techmician can rapidly learn the use of manipulators required in remote maintenance. The use of closed circuit television in maintenance is possible; however, further development of radiation- resistant equipment is required. (j.R.D.)

The Prompt Radiations in the Spontaneous Fission of Cf²⁵² (Revised) (open access)

The Prompt Radiations in the Spontaneous Fission of Cf²⁵² (Revised)

Summary: The radiations emitted in the spontaneous fission of Cf²⁵² have been studied. The results in general are in agreement with other similar measurements. An experiment is described which is expected to give the neutron energies and angular distribution in the center-of-mass system of the moving fission fragment when the analysis is completed.
