Neutron and Gamma Flux Attenuation in a Withdrawn SRE Control Rod (open access)

Neutron and Gamma Flux Attenuation in a Withdrawn SRE Control Rod

An investigation was made of the neutron and gamma flux distribution along the entire length of a withdrawn control rod in the SRE in order to determine heating, activation and dose rates produced by the streaming neutrons and gammas.

VARI Solution of Simultaneous, First-Order, Ordinary, Differential Equations (open access)

VARI Solution of Simultaneous, First-Order, Ordinary, Differential Equations

VARI solves on the IBM-650 a system of simultaneous, first-order, ordinary, differential equations. The program was written so that a large number of calculations could be done in a reasonable length of time. The program permits the consideration of the production of the isotope by absorption and/or decay of one or more of any of the other isotopes in the chain.

VARI-II (open access)

VARI-II

Writing the VARI-II Program was motivated by the need for a method of analyzing the results for the Absorber Burn-Up Experiment in progress at the Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory.

Erosion Experiments of Powder Compacted Uranium Dioxide Under Dynamic Steam Flow (Preliminary Report) (open access)

Erosion Experiments of Powder Compacted Uranium Dioxide Under Dynamic Steam Flow (Preliminary Report)

Experiments were carried out to determine the erosion, oxidation and dimensional characteristics of purposely defected fuel elements containing unsintered UO2 powder prepared by the swaging technique. The experiments were conducted in an out-of-reactor loop under superheat conditions of pressure, temperature, flow velocity and steam chemical composition.
