Etr Gamma Heat Generation Measurements for Cycles 27, 33, and 34 (open access)

Etr Gamma Heat Generation Measurements for Cycles 27, 33, and 34

The gamma heat generations in selected positions of the ETR were measured for Cycles 27, 33, and 34. The measurements for Cycle 27 include data for the clean core and depleted core. Maximum gamma heat generation maps are presented for each cycle along with vertical traverses for all positions monitored. The measurements were made using a graphite- C0/sub 2/ ionization chamber.

IBM-7090 PROGRAMS TO COMPILE AND MODIFY A NUCLEAR DATA TAPE (open access)

IBM-7090 PROGRAMS TO COMPILE AND MODIFY A NUCLEAR DATA TAPE

The Reactor Nuclear Data Tape Programs were designed to compile and/or modify a nuclear data library tape from basic nuclear cross-section input. It is intended that this cross-section library tape will be utilized to provide up-to- date nuclear data for various reactor codes. Program RNDP was designed to compile an initial tape from certain minimal input data, or to add or delete complete blocks of data from an existing tape. Program RNDM was designed to compile and add to an existing tape macroscopic cross section data consisting of mixtures of microscopic cross sections available on the tape. Program RNOC was designed to modify and copy an existing tape, or to compile a new tape from sets of binary cards punched by Program RNDP. These programs were written using the FORTrAN-II system of automatic coding for the IBM7090. (auth)

SNAP II POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM TOPICAL REPORT NO. 8, MERCURY CONDESING RESEARCH STUDIES

Experimental results are summarized for investigations on the condenser fluid mechanics of mercury under zerogravity, two-phase conditions. Conditions required for interfacial stability in tubes were determined as a function of tube diameters. Correlated two-phase pressure drop data are presented as functions of tube inlet Reynolds number and vapor specific volume. Flow regime stability was studied under zero-gravity and 2.55-gravity conditions and at various Reynolds numbers. the effect of noncondensable gas on flow performance in mercury forced convection condensers was evaluated.

THE CONTROL OF POT CALCINER TEMPERATURES TO ENSURE CALCINATION AT 900C (open access)

THE CONTROL OF POT CALCINER TEMPERATURES TO ENSURE CALCINATION AT 900C

S>A program will be required for controlling the wall temperature of a pot calciner during calcination in order to prevent an excessive temperature rise from internal heat generation while assuring complete calcination of the cake at 1650 deg F. A linear approximation to a pot wall temperature program indicates that this can be accomplished by holding the wall temperature at 1650 deg for 0.8 to 1.0 hrs and then cooling the wall at rates dependent upon the cake internal heat generation rate and average thermal conductivity. A similar study indicates that if it is necessary to reheat the cake for complete calcination, the wall heating time must be limited to prevent excessive temperature rise in the cake. Reheating times are also dependent upon the cake internal heat generation and thermal conductivity. (auth)

The Measurement of Oxygen to Metal Ratio in Solid Solutions of Uranium and Plutonium Dioxides (open access)

The Measurement of Oxygen to Metal Ratio in Solid Solutions of Uranium and Plutonium Dioxides

A survey was made of methods potentially useful for the determination of the oxygen to metal ratio in mixed oxides of uranium and plutonium. A gravimetric method was selected as being the most promising for adaptation in a short period of time. Development of the technique resulted in a reliable method which meets the requirements for unirradiated mixed oxide fuel samples. The method, based upon an equilibrium weight at 700 deg C in dry hydrogen, was shown to be capable of measurement of O/(Pu + U) ratios in 20% PuO/sub 2/--80% UO/sub 2/ pellets with a standard deviation of plus or minus 0.001.
