Abstract: A limited study of the compound U₃Si₂ has been made in reference to its use as a prospective nuclear fuel in sodium cooled reactors.

From abstract: The Madelung constant and the inverse twelfth power repulsion factor have been calculated for the wurtzite structure for wide ranges of the crystal parameters and u.

From abstract: A development program was initiated to design, fabricate and test an absorber column with a 10 to 12 year lifetime, for use in the proposed LSGR.

This report discusses the contributions of the workers at Tennessee Eastman Corporation in the investigation of limiting conditions in the application of penta-ether (aka. dibutoxytetraethylene).

An R.F. joint tester was designed to determine the relative heating and tendency toward arching at high RF current density (100 amps/linear inch) of a 12 inch diameter circular copper butt joint in vacuum with several types of inserts and at various amounts of axial loading, ranging from a very small contact pressure to one of 1400 pounds per linear inch of joint.

Abstract: The most adverse power distribution and power peaking factors have been developed for Type 3 replacement cores for SM-1, SM-1A, and PM-2A. Also included is the 37 element Type 3 core for SM-1, which is known as SM-1 Core III and is a prototype of a Type 3 core for PM-2A. The power distributions were compared with measured distributions obtained on type 3 fuel elements in SM-1, SM-1A and PM-2A core configurations. Using the measured data as a standard, correction factors were obtained and applied to the analytical predictions of the most adverse power distribution.

Report that generally describes sodium cooled fast reactors, the features and facilities of such a reactor proposed by Atomic Power Development Associates, and then its safety and siting considerations.
