Radiological Sciences Department investigation radiation incident, Class I, No. 299

Fragments of radioactive materials were deposited in the Redox area during August, 1953. By radiation monitoring, the location, physical properties, and dosage were determined. The cause was assumed to be the buildup of ammonium nitrate containing ruthenium on the filters of the Redox stack. The amount of occupational exposure, and the reasons why this incident happened were also discussed.

Use of a Water Boiler Reactor as a Production Test Facility (open access)

Use of a Water Boiler Reactor as a Production Test Facility

The feasibility of the use of a water-boiler type reactor as a production test facility for making reactivity tests on various forms of uranium and uranium compounds was investigated. It is concluded that the reactor should be very useful for production testing of materials with the danger coefficient techniqus. A suggested production procedure is outlined. (auth)

Investigation of a Sodium Vapor Compressor Jet for Nuclear Propulsion of Aircraft (open access)

Investigation of a Sodium Vapor Compressor Jet for Nuclear Propulsion of Aircraft

Analysis indicates that, in order to achieve supersonic flight with nuclear powered aircraft, a reactor -power plant combination capable of operating at temperatures considerably in excess of current practice must be developed. It is pointed out that there exist two general avenues of approach toward the goal of attaining high temperature reactors and power plants. The first approach involves the continuation and augmentation of research along the lines pursued by the conventional turbo-jet engine manufacturer, namely a search for material coatings or materials that will retain structural strength in high temperature oxidizing atmospheres. The second approach seeks to take advantage of the peculiar characteristics of the compressor-jet engine that permit the operation of the high temperature components in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The results of a preliminary design study of a supersonic aircraft powered by a high temperature sodium, liquid vapor compressor -jet engine are summarized. The analysis considered, in as much detail as was warranted by the limited experimental information available, the characteristics of the reactor, power plant and airframe involved in determining performance. This study has been conducted for the purpose of guiding future, long -t e r rn , research work along the lines of high temperature reactors …

Production Test No. 105-522-E, Examination of pile process tubes

The objective of the production test described in this report is to provide the authority and mechanism to remove process tubes from the piles for inspection. The test is intended to provide a more positive tube inspection program than was previously provided under production test number 105-9-P, ``Corrosion of Slugs and Tubes``, document number 7-3928.

Radioactive debris from operations Tumbler and Snapper: observations beyond 200 miles from the test site. Part II

The results of the fall-out monitoring program at fixed stations more than 200 miles from the test site following the series of atomic tests in Nevada during the spring of 1952 are shown in a series of maps. Trajectories of debris from the individual bursts are given, together with a discussion of meteorological phenomena associated with the transport of atomic debris.
