40-MW(e) Prototype High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Research and Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962 (open access)

40-MW(e) Prototype High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Research and Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending June 30, 1962

Research and development progress specifically directed toward the construction of a 40-Mw(e) prototype power plant employing a high-temperature, gas-cooled, graphitemoderated reactor known as the HTGR is reported. Irradiation of element III-B in the in-pile loop continued satisfactorily. The element has generated a total of l36.3 Mw-hr of fission heat. The gross activity in the purge stream increased slightly to about 350 mu C/cm/sup 3/. By taking larger gas samples than were previously taken, a value of 0.02 VC/cm/sup 3/ was obtained for the gross activity of the primary loop. Element III-A, which was removed from the loop after generating 133 Mw-hr of fission heat, was disassembled and examined. No fuel-compact damage of any type was visible. Determination of the distribution of fission products in the element is under way, Fissionproduct- release data for in-pile-loop element III-A were calculated. During the 133 Mw- hr of operation, the release fraction increased by approximately one order of magnitude. Also calculated were the xenon and krypton release data for the first 100 Mw-hr of III-B operation. The release rate for the longer-lived isotopes increased bv about a factor of 10 and that of the shorter-lived isotopes by about a factor of 100. A test …

190-H drawdown test (open access)

190-H drawdown test

A discrepancy of about 1000 gpm has existed between the full-flow recorded 190, 105 and ROL flows. While past operating practices have not used the 190 or ROL flow rates for official purposes, the disquieting, though not theoretically unexplicable, differences require some quantitative resolution. On November 24, 1962, a drawdown test of the 190-H storage tanks was performed to establish the accuracy of the various flowmeters. The drawdown test of the 190 storage tanks was run at the beginning of a scheduled reactor shutdown. With the full reactor flow supplied by the electric process pumps feeding from the storage tanks, the 183-H supply to the storage tanks was valved off. Additionally, non-process water usually taken from the storage tanks was valved off. The storage tank water levels were taken, then recorded as a function of time.

A 200-Watt Conduction-Cooled Reactor Power Supply for Space Application (open access)

A 200-Watt Conduction-Cooled Reactor Power Supply for Space Application

The limited supply of relatively long-half-life isotopes having a reasonably high power density and the low conversion efficiencies obtainable with thermoelectric devices have so far limited the power output of isotope-fueled sources of electric power to several tens of watts. In addition, the high cost of the available isotopes results in a very large expense for isotope-fueled generators producing several hundred watts. It appears that a small, minimumweight, conduction-cooled reactor is an attractive alternate to the isotope-fueled power supplies in the 200-w size range. The proposed reactor is a small, high-density fast core of U/sup 233/ surrounded by a beryllium reflector. This approach, generally speaking, gives a reactor that is more compact and of lighter weight than can be obtained with a moderated system having a softer neutron spectrum. In the reactor design, the path of heat flow is from the core to the inner reflector and then to the thermoelements in close contact with the inner reflector. The reject heat flowing from the thermoelement cold junctions enters the outer pontion of the reflector, which acts as the heat sink and conducts the reject heat to the large, circular, tapered-fin radiator which is attached to the reflector.

1559/RE: A CODE TO COMPUTE RESONANCE INTEGRALS IN MIXTURES (open access)

1559/RE: A CODE TO COMPUTE RESONANCE INTEGRALS IN MIXTURES

The computer program 1559/RE is an experimental IBM-704 code in FORTRAN language for computing the resonance integrals of isotopes in mixtures in the presence of hydrogenic moderation. There may be up to four isotopes, each with no more than 75 resolved resonance levels. Doppler broadening and interference scattering are included No estimate is made of contributions from unresolved resonances. Typical running times are 30 min (with no Doppler broadening) to 90 min (with Doppler broadening) for problems involving 67 levels and unit lethargy widths. Input and theory are discussed, and a typical listing is given. (auth)

Abscopal Effects of Localized Irradiation by Accelerator Beams (open access)

Abscopal Effects of Localized Irradiation by Accelerator Beams

The aim of this series of experiments was to evaluate the existence of abscopal effects of irradiation. No attempt was made towards the elucidation of mechanisms. Very early in the history of radiological research it was noticed radiation produces both local and general effects involving the entire body. Gauss and Lembcke introduced the term "Roentgenkater" (radiation sickness). They ascribed these "General Effects" to the circulation of toxic substances released from cells that disintegrated following irradiation.

Absorption-Multistage Flash Distillation Process (open access)

Absorption-Multistage Flash Distillation Process

"The major factors which influence the cost of water production from sea water by distillation methods are (1) the cost of fuel or energy required by the distilling plant, and (2) the required capital investment. Preliminary studies on the application of absorption or solution cycles to distillation methods for saline water conversion indicated that the fuel cost or thermal economy of a distillation plant could be improved by combining the distillation process with an absorption or solution cycle" (p. 1).
