Aerosol research at Hanford and engineering applications to production reactors (open access)

Aerosol research at Hanford and engineering applications to production reactors

When the construction of the confinement facilities for Hanford production reactors is completed, the potential for contaminating the environment with accidentally released fission products will be greatly reduced. This was demonstrated already when rupture debris burned in the rear face area of one of the reactors in which the fog spray was installed and ready for service. The fog spray effectively prevented the spread of contamination to the ventilation equipment downstream of the rear face enclosure. Also, the commercially- available absolute filters and charcoal beds will significantly decontaminate the exhaust air, stream of all fission products except the noble gases. Laboratory studies indicate that the filter system should remove at least 50 percent of all fission product halogen vapors and over 90 percent of the particulate matter released from a nuclear incident. In addition, the charcoal beds should provide an additional 90 to 95 percent decontamination of the halogens that manage to pass through the filter. It is not expected that any of the noble gases released will be removed by this system. Laboratory studies, in general, substantiate previous estimates on the release of fission products from overheated uranium fuels. The theoretical estimates are quite accurate for the volatile and …

Nuclear Contribution to the Heat Capacity of Terbium Metal (open access)

Nuclear Contribution to the Heat Capacity of Terbium Metal

The heat capacity of terbium metal was measured between 0.25 and 1.0 deg K. The high temperature data can be expressed as C = 28R x 10/sup -3/T/sup 2/ cal/ mole-deg. The data are compared with a Schottky formula for the heat capacity, assuming equal spacing between the nuclear hyperfine levels with an over-all spacing of beta = 0.45/ deg K, correspondlng to the high temperature expression above. The agreement is within experimental error except at the very lowest temperatures obtained. The effective field at the nucleus of the terbium atom can be calculated and is found to be H/sub eff/= 4 x 10/sup 6/ gauss. (auth)

Atomic Binding Energies From a Modified Thomas-Fermi-Dirac Theory (open access)

Atomic Binding Energies From a Modified Thomas-Fermi-Dirac Theory

A quantum correction of the statistical model of the atom was obtained by modifying March and Plaskett's region of integration in the (n/sub r/,l), or quantum-number, plane. Integrations over the plane lead, in the unmodified case, to the Thomas-Fermi density expression and energy equation. Integrations over the modified region are here shown to produce a modified Thomas-Fermi expression for the electron density, and a correction to the kinetic energy. The latter correction shows a similarity to the Weizsacker correction, but is smaller by a slowly changing factor of the order of 10. A modified Thomas-Fermi-Dirac equation was derived by the standard variational procedure. Numerical solutions of the equation were obtained, yielding atomic binding energies in much better agreement with experimental values than those of the unmodified theory. (auth)

FAST ANALOGUE MULTIPLIERS WITH FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS (open access)

FAST ANALOGUE MULTIPLIERS WITH FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS

The solution time of analog multipliers using field-effect transistors is investigated. This time is ultimately limited by the charging time of the transistor junction. In typical devices suitable for analog multiplication, the charging time is found to be about 10 to 20 nsec for a multiplication error of < 1%. A four quadrant pulse amplitude multiplier circuit with a solution time equal to the transistor charging time is described. (auth)

Gamma Amplifier-Discriminator (open access)

Gamma Amplifier-Discriminator

For applications involving the routine laboratory measurement of gamma radiation, an instrument is described which is simple to opeiate, versatile, compact, and reliable. It consists of a pulse amplifier with charge-sensitive input and delay-line shaping, a differential discriminator capable of covering the range from 2 kev to 7 Mev, a calibration pulser, and a power supply. All controls are calibrated directly in terms of gamma energy. Construction is modular for ease of maintenance, and all circuits use solid-state components. (auth)

Magnesium Turnover in Man (open access)

Magnesium Turnover in Man

Data are reviewed from a number of studies on the metabolism of Mg in man and the role of Mg in biological processes. Results are reported from studies using Mg/sup 28/ as a tracer of Mg metabolism in laboratory animals and in man in health and various disease states. It is postulated that the role of Mg in many vital processes may be explained by the fact that the Mg ion tends to form hydrates and double salts and hence has the capacity for complex formation.

LONGITUDINAL RESISTIVE INSTABILITIES OF INTENSE COASTING BEAMS IN PARTICLE ACCELERATORS (open access)

LONGITUDINAL RESISTIVE INSTABILITIES OF INTENSE COASTING BEAMS IN PARTICLE ACCELERATORS

The longitudinal electromagnetic interaction of an intense coasting beam with itself, including the effect of a resistive vacuum tank, is investigated theoretically. It is shown that even in the range where the particle frequency is an increasing function of particle energy, the beam can be longitudinally unstable due to the resistivity of the vacuum tank walls. In the absence of frequency spread in the unperturbed beam the beam is shown to be always unstable against longitudinal bunching with a growth rate which depends upon (N/{sigma}){sup 1/2}, where N is the number of particles in the beam and {sigma} is the conductivity of the surface material. By means of the Vlasov equation, a criterion for stability of the beam is obtained; and shown in the limit of high-conductivity walls to involve the frequency spread in the unperturbed beam, the number of particles N, the beam energy, geometrical properties of the accelerator, but not the conductivity {sigma}. A numerical example is presented which indicates that certain observations of beam behavior in the MURA 40 MeV electron accelerator may be related to the phenomena investigated here.

A NEW METHOD TO DETERMINE VARIOUS FREE ENERGY STATES OF SILVER OXIDE ON SILVER METAL (open access)

A NEW METHOD TO DETERMINE VARIOUS FREE ENERGY STATES OF SILVER OXIDE ON SILVER METAL

The solubility of silver oxide on silver metal is not the same as that of the bulk oxide. The differences in solubility were investigated by shaking silver powder in deaerated solutions of various concentrations of ammonia and in buffers of ammonia and ammonium nitrate at a constant temperature of 25 deg C. These solutions were shaken in an atmosphere of N/sub 2/ in a stoppered bottle and in the absence of light. The concentration of silver ion in these solutions was measured potentiometrically and by using tagged silver ions. The NH/sub 3/ concentrations were obtained by titration of aliquots of these solutions to the methyl red end point with HCl both before and after shaking. Although several days elapsed between these titrations, the concentration varied less than 1% in all cases. (auth)

STUDIES IN CONTACT MICRO-RADIOGRAPHY (open access)

STUDIES IN CONTACT MICRO-RADIOGRAPHY

A study was made of contact microradiographic techniques for the x-ray evaluation of tin specimens or selected small regions in large specimens. Extraneous absorbers such as air and the film holder were removed to permit the use of low-energy x rays, and high-resolution plates were used which permit magnifications up to 500x. Microradiographs are presented for graphite-coated uranium carbide particles, nickel screen, thin graphite section, and various fibrous materials. It is concluded that the contact microradiographic technique is a very useful tool. (D.L.C.)
