Characteristics of H.E. and H.E. systems. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964

Data from sieve analyses of HMX and HMX recovered from LX-04-1 has been compiled for correlation to quality parameters. Particle size distributions on HMX received from LRL have been completed along with other HMX lots specified by them. Sieve analysis of recrystallized PETN was obtained using the now normal procedure for HMX. A statistical investigation of production LX-04-1 examined the dependence of density, elongation, and ultimate tensile strength on particle size distributions ({Pi}) and Viton content. The {Pi} was found to correlate well with density, increases in fines decreasing density. An experimental to determine the effect of binder solvent on HMX {Pi} during removal of Viton from pressed LX-04-1 was performed. This study has indicated no drastic effect on the distribution by the length of time the binder solvent is on the material. HMX and recrystallized PETN surface area measurements obtained form the Perkin-Elmer sorptometer are tabulated in this report. Recrystallized PETN has been examined under the microscope and counts made on the number of crystals with given shape. A frequency distribution was calculated for each group present in a 1 mm{sup 2} area. Experiments to determine the extent of grinding or reduction of particle size of HMX agitated in …

Characteristics of H.E. and H.E. systems. Quarterly report, October--December, 1964

Several samples of HMX to be used in LX-04-1 were particle sized and reported in this report. Most of the lots sized were very similar, with the major differences in the lots being at 2{micro}. Several counts in ``Rainbow`` Lot 26B of LX-04-1, made to obtain a color and weight distribution in several samples, and also a color count made in each sieve on a granulation analysis, show each color to be equally distributed; i.e., {approx} one-third of each color, green, yellow and white LX-04-1 granules, was present in the sample. Photographs and particle size curves of recrystallized PETN used in LX-02-1 are presented. These data were obtained by examining the original PETN used in a lot of LX-02-1, then performing several milling operations and recovering the PETN from the binder for another examination. The majority of the PETN appears to be crushed or broken in the first six passes on the three-roll mill with smaller changes taking place in the two-roll mill. The final {Pi} shows most of the PETN to be concentrated in the 4 to 8{micro} region. Photographs of two production lots of LX-02-1 subjected to a milling operation are also included. A description of the procedure …

Development of improved H.E. adhesive systems. Quarterly report for April--June, 1964 (open access)

Development of improved H.E. adhesive systems. Quarterly report for April--June, 1964

A heat aging study in which tensile specimens (aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-LX-04-1 with Aerobond H-7) were heated to 165 F and aged up to three months has been completed. Aerobond H-7 showed no signs of deterioration when treated in this manner. Butyl glycidyl ether and benzene were tested as diluents for Aerobond H-7; butyl glycidyl ether is an effective diluent but benzene appeared to promote an exotherm. Water permeabilities were remeasured for Adiprene, Aerobond H-7, and Estane to resolve the questionable data gathered earlier. Kel-F, Perm-A-Lon, and Aerobond H-7 are by far the most impermeable to water. The disc extrudability test was run on the new lot of LX-02-1, A-335, both milled and unmilled materials.

H.E. formulation. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964 (open access)

H.E. formulation. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964

Emphasis was placed this quarter on the manufacture of extrudable explosives. This included the recrystallization of PETN which was used to manufacture two batches of LX-02-1 and one batch of RX-02-AK. The materials were examined for composition, extrudability and burning via detonation velocity. Also, a Sunburst and Sunray were performed on the first batch of LX-02 made. Results were all satisfactory except for detonation velocity; some of the channels were yielding somewhat erratic results which could be due either to the test or incomplete mixing. The recrystallization of PETN progressed satisfactorily and the final crystals as viewed under the microscope had the expected appearance.

Physical properties of explosives. Quarterly report, January--March 1964 (open access)

Physical properties of explosives. Quarterly report, January--March 1964

This work is for the development of testing methods and determination of physical properties of H.E. formulations. An eight-cycle bulk compliance test on LX-04-1 produced a gain in density of 0.017 gm/cc from an average starting-density of 1.858 gm/cc, net gain of .810 gm/cc after one month storage. A group of tensile specimens were tested on three test machines in three locations (Baldwin at LRL, Instrom in Pantex Engineering and Tinius Olsen in Pantex Development), using specimens from a single pressing. The tests showed that these machines are able to produce similar results and are not extremely operator sensitive. It has been determined that LX-04-1 will not flow well enough at a loading of 50 psi to produce orientation grooves for pents. A tabulation of density, tensile strength, strain at ultimate stress, granule size and HMX particle size has been compiled for evaluating the several powder lots of LX-04-1 which have been used. Density and tensile strength appear to be better when PBX 9404 is pressed in the 300-ton (ram) press than it was for the same lot of material which was pressed in the 20-inch hydrostatic press.

Safety analysis of the C-1 Loop (open access)

Safety analysis of the C-1 Loop

The C-1 Loop is a small in-reactor water loop located in the 105-C Building. The loop was originally designed and constructed for nonfueled testing of the effects of reactor radiation on sample corrosion, crud deposition, and coolant radiolysis. The loop was modified in 1964 to permit the irradiation of aluminum-clad fuel elements and subsequently used for about eight months for the in-reactor testing of aluminum-clad, plutonium-aluminum fuel assemblies at high coolant temperatures and pressures. The facility is currently inactive but is available for the performance of special testing. Prior to nuclear operation of the C-1 Loop the mechanical equipment was carefully checked and the backup coolant system was experimentally verified to perform as designed. A safety analysis was also made with results summarized briefly in Reference and in more detail in the production test which authorized nuclear operation of the C-1 Facility. This report updates those earlier documents with improved descriptions of the C-1 Loop and its operation including analyses of postulated accidents.

Top shield temperatures, C and K Reactors (open access)

Top shield temperatures, C and K Reactors

A modification program is now in progress at the C and K Reactors consisting of an extensive renovation of the graphite channels in the vertical safety rod ststems. The present VSR channels are being enlarged by a graphite coring operation and channel sleeves will be installed in the larger channels. One problem associated with the coring operation is the danger of damaging top thermal shield cooling tubes located close to the VSR channels to such an extent that these tubes will have to be removed from service. If such a condition should exist at one or a number of locations in the top shield of the reactors after reactor startup, the question remains -- what would the resulting temperatures be of the various components of the top shields? This study was initiated to determine temperature distributions in the top shield complex at the C and K Reactors for various top thermal shield coolant system conditions. Since the top thermal shield cooling system at C Reactor is different than those at the K Reactors, the study was conducted separately for the two different systems.
