D. Millionshchikov UDC 523.542 Turbulent heat and mass exchange in layers close to a wall has been studied by many authors [1, 3]. This problem has become especially important since it was discovered that the usual approach would not explain the observed heat and mass exchange for values of Prandtl's number P (the ratio of the molecular coefficient of kinematic viscosity to the thermal conductivity v/K) much larger than unity. Some materials for which these processes have been experimentally investigated have Prandtl num- bers of order 3000 or more. Deissler [1] analyzed experimental data for a wide range of values of P (0.5- 3000), and developed a special theory of heat and mass exchange which, with the appropriate choice of cer- tain constants, yields results in good agreement with experimental results in this range. Deissler considers the laminar sublayer to be a region of interaction between molecular and turbulent exchange characterized by the distance from the wall and the kinematic viscosity. A logarithmic profile is used in the region of developing turbulence, and in this way a better quantitative description of the velocity profile is obtained than when a linear profile is used in the laminar sublayer and a purely logarithmic pro- file. However this method does not yield a theory for the dependence of heat and mass transfer on Prandtl's number including small values. Deissler also described the variation of Nusselt's number for large Prandtl numbers by taking it to be proportional to the Prandtl number raised to the power 1/4. Another position was taken concerning heat and mass exchange by L. D. Landau and V. G. Levich [2]. Their theory agrees with that of P. L. Kapitsa [4, 51, in that they consider that there are stable liquid-mo- tion waves in layers close to a wall. The thermal conduction is very low in the viscous layer for large Prandtl numbers, and so the turbulent pulsations in this layer lead to turbulent transfer comparable to molecular transfer at distances from the wall considerably smaller than the thickness of the hydrodynamic laminar sublayer. Hence the thickness of the thermal (or diffusion) laminar sublayer, i.e., the layer in which turbulent exchange may be neglected, is in general a function of the molecular thermal conductivity. The very general assumptions of the theory can be stated as follows: 1) The longitudinal component of the pulsation velocity u' varies like the mean velocity, i.e., it is proportional to the distance from the wall; 2) the pulsation frequency is independent of the distance from the wall; 3) the correlation between the transverse velocity component and the transverse transfer scale is in- dependent of the distance from the wall. Under these assumptions, the longitudinal velocity pulsations satisfy the relation [2] V Y * 60 where v* is the dynamic velocity and 60 is the thickness of the hydrodynamic laminar sublayer. The transverse velocity component corresponding to heat and mass transfer, estimated from the con- tinuity condition for the flow has, in the layer close to the wall, the order (-47)2.

The Stanton number S vs the Prandtl number P for the Reynolds number R = 10,000. The transfer path in the transverse direction is proportional to v', i.e., it depends on y in the same way as the transverse velocity component and is proportional to y2/60. The transverse heat transfer is proportional to the product of the transverse velocity component and the mean transverse transfer path: X.r?v?o (*) where XTis the turbulent thermal conductivity. Determination of 60 from the relation V "?-? V.150, yields x, = const v (er? Now taking the distance y = (5`0 from the wall as the thickness for which the turbulent thermal conduc- tivity is of the order x (the molecular thermal conductivity), we obtain V. G. Levich's formula 6;=co0P-1/4. (1) This relation directly yieldsthe limit formula for the thermal conductivity law for large P [2] , which is confirmed by Deissler's experimental data. No limit formula can be obtained for small or intermediate values of P. Before turning to new constructions, we recall that, for P = 1, the laminar and thermal layers have the same thickness. We thus set c = 1 in (1), i.e., we have 8=60P71/4 for P> 1. (2) For Prandtl numbers smaller than unity, both the tangential turbulent stresses and the turbulent transfer of heat and mass are negligibly small within the limit 150 of the laminar sublayer. Hence, for P > 1, the value of (5`0, which is the distance from the wall at which turbulent heat and mass transfer begin, is equal to the thickness So of the hydrodynamic laminar sublayer: =se, for P ao the following equations in [2] are valid in the range of comparatively high frequencies: F in (1+ q2) xi = 480 (a> a0).

Usually, Eqs. (10) are valid for the thermal conductivity coefficients at the initial stage of the dis- charge while the temperature of the plasma is low. However, as the internal portion of the plasma pinch is heated up, the collision frequencies begin to decrease, and we go over to Eqs. (9); after that we may even reach the range of validity of Eqs. (8). The transition from one branch to the other does not occur simultaneously for the en- tire pinch. Therefore, in order to calculate the coefficients of thermal conductivity at different points it is neces - ary to use different equations. All this greatly complicates the problem, making its qualitative investigation diffi- cult and allowing reliable quantitative results to be obtained only by means of numerical methods. The factor y is included in the terms of Eqs. (1) and (2), which are connected with the current. This factor allows a phenomenological description to be given of the resistance observed in the experiment. The case y = 1 corresponds to the classical plasma resistance given by the Spitzer formula. The initial and boundary conditions were chosen in the form (x, 0) = uo (2? x2); T( x, 0) = Tio (2 ? x2) (j =1, e); (11) x(1, 0= = 0.2 aR,HI ; T,(1, t)=-T0(/=i, e), (12) where I is the total current in the plasma in kiloamperes. The radial density distribution of the plasma' was assumed to be parabolic; n(x) = N(1 ? (1/2)x2). Equations (1)-(3) with the complementary conditions (11), (12) were integrated on an electronic com- puter. The time evolution of the electron and ion temperatures were investigated, as well as the dependence of the steady-state values of these temperatures on plasma density, longitudinal magnetic field, total cur- rent, and the dimensions of the plasma pinch. The results of the corresponding calculations are described below. In these calculations it was assumed that the total current I was independent of time and was dis- tributed over the pinch cross section according to the parabolic law f(x, 0) = 21(1 ? x2)71- at the initial time in accordance with the conditions (11). Thus, in the given series of calculations the problem of current penetration into the plasma during the initial stage of the process corresponding to an increase of the total current with time was not considered. Under these assumptions the function t(x, t) and the current density f(x, t) remain practically constant with time. A change in the electron and ion temperatures Toe and To on the boundary over fairly wide limits (10 to 100 eV) had a very slight effect on the solution of the problem. As far as the initial temperatures were concerned, they ceased to affect the solution after a time had elapsed which was 4-5 times as short as the energy lifetime. The Results of the Calculations As an example, Figs. 1 and 2 show the results of the numerical solution of the problem formulated above for parameter values corresponding to the parameters of the T-3 apparatus at the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute [5-7]. In the calculations it was assumed that R = 100, a = 12, H = 38, 1 = 110, T.?-- 50 (j -= e). Since the characteristic time of the process in this case is of the order of several tens of milliseconds, the integration of the system (1)-(3) was carried out till t = 40 msec. During this time Te, Ti, and re practically reach their steady-state values. The calculations were carried out for purely hydrogen plasma and for a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium having relative concentrations 4 and id(p +d = 1). In the latter case the yield of neutrons accompanying the d ? d reaction was determined. The energy lifetime re was found according to the equation (14) (13) where E is the thermal energy of the plasma; Q is the Joule heat released by the current. For purposes of comparison with experiment the energy lifetime rei = EiQi-? of the ions was likewise calculated, where Ei is the energy in the ions, and Qi is the heat flux from the ions to the wall. The density ndd of the neutron yield and the total flux Qdd of neutrons from the plasma were determined from the equations [10]; ndd =Van2172/3 exp (32 ? 188- Ti-113); Qdd= 4n2Ra2 nddxdx. 1208 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 (15) Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Figure 1 shows the dependences of the ion and electron temperatures of the space coordinate x = r/a. The dashed line shows the density ndd of the neutron yield resulting from the d?d reaction. For the chosen value of plasma density the heat exchange between electrons and ions is relatively small, and therefore the "detachment" of the electron temperature from the ion temperature takes place during the heating process. Figure 2 shows the dependence of Te max, Ti max, and rei on time for the same plasma parameters. The experimental curves for Ti max and rei were obtained on the T-3 apparatus. Good agreement between the results of the theory and experimental data indicates a possible explanation of the energy balance of the plasma in this case within the framework of classical concepts of heat exchange and losses, and substan- tiates the conclusion of the theory concerning the necessity of considering confined particles in the trans- port processes. Analogous calculations were carried out for the T-3 apparatus in other operating modes with modified values of the longitudinal magnetic field and total current. The results obtained under these conditions are in good agreement with experimental data. The curves in Fig.2 indicate a comparatively rapid establishment of the steady state in apparatuses of this type. In order to clarify the possibilities of ohmic heating of the plasma in such apparatuses the investigation of the dependence of the limiting steady-state values of the quantities Te max, Ti max, and re on the geometric dimensions of the plasma pinch and such parameters as the plasma density, the magnitude of the longitudinal fields, and the magnitude of the current is of great interest. Certain results of the in- vestigation of these dependences have been presented in Figs. 3-5. Figure 3 shows the dependence of the steady-state values Te max and Ti max on density for hydrogen plasma and for a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium. The shape of the curves may be interpreted as fol- lows. With increasing plasma density the heat exchange between electrons and ions improves, and due to the fixed total current the fraction of energy released per particle decreases. Both of these factors lead to an abrupt decrease in Te with increasing N. The ion temperature first increases due to the improvement of heat exchange, and then begins to decrease. This is clearly evident for curves 1 and 3, while for curve 2 the corresponding value of density lies beyond the limits of the diagram. Note that as a whole the ion temperature is very "inert" to a change in the plasma parameters. Whereas the electron temperature in Fig. 3 differs by a factor of 2-3 in different operating modes, the change in ion temperature is 20 to 30%. Figures 4 and 5 show the dependences of the steady-state values of Te max, Ti max, and re on the longitudinal magnetic field and the dimensions of the plasma pinch for hydrogen plasma at a constant value of density N = 6 and a value of the quantity q(1,t) = 2.2. In plotting Fig. 4 the values of the geometric para- meters were chosen in accordance with Eq. (13), while the current varied with the magnetic field in accor- dance with the boundary conditions (12): I = 3.28H. Calculations show that in this case Te max, Ti max, and re increase with increasing H and I according to a practically linear law. In calculating the curves in Fig. 5 the magnetic field was fixed (H = 40), while the current and the large radius R of the torus were varied along with the radius a of the plasma pinch: I = 12.6a, R = 7a. The shape of the curves in Fig. 5 may be qualitatively interpreted as follows. The linear dependence of I on a is con- nected with the decrease in current density with increasing a, which leads to a decrease of Te max. How- ever, since with increasing a the losses via thermal conductivity decrease, it follows that Ti max (and es- pecially re) increases under these conditions. Figure 6 is similar to Fig. 2. This figure shows the calculations for a hypothetical large apparatus. The time variations of the quantities Te max, Ti max, and re are shown for hydrogen plasma (43 = 1) having a normal resistance (y = 1) and an anomalous resistance (y = 5). The characteristic time of the process is equal to 800 msec in this case. The high plasma density provides for good heat exchange between electrons and ions, and as a result the differences in their temperatures are insignificant. The temperature of the ions in the central portion of the plasma pinch reaches 1800 eV y = 1, while for y = 5 it reaches 3000 eV. The authors express their deep thanks to Academician L. A. Artsimovich for stating the problem and discussing the results. LITERATURE CITED 1. D. Pfirsch and A.Schiiter, Max Planck Institute, Rep. MPI/Pa/7/62 (1962). 2. V. D.

Certain results of recent measurements of the low-temperature heat capacity of uranium carbides are presented in Table 1. The data for U2C3 and UC2 are in very good agreement, but for UC there is a certain difference, evi- dently caused by the different composition of the samples. In [1, 2], in a measurements of the heat capacity of UC, pieces of cast carbide were used, the carbon content in which only slightly exceeded the stoichio- metric; moreover, in [1] the measurements were performed on a well characterized sample, and no cor- rection was introduced for the small excess of bound carbon. In [2], however, acorrection was made for the presence of UC2, but the influence of oxygen, the amount of which in the carbide was rather high (1.9 mole %), was not taken into consideration. The authors of [4] recommend that the average value from [1, 2] be used for the heat capacity of UC. The results of a measurement of the heat capacity of UC, U2C3, and UC1.94 in the interval 5-350?K [1, 4] are presented graphically in Fig. 1 [5]. Heat Capacity and Heat Content at High Temperature. Measurements of the true heat capacity of UC and UC2, performed in [6] in an adiabatic calorimeter in the interval 373-473?K and in [7] on the determina- tion of C of uranium monocarbide in the interval 300-900?K by the nonstationary system method with pulsed heating of the sample with a laser beam, should be considered insufficiently accurate. The new technique, using pulsed heating (details unknown), was used in [8] to measure the heat capacity of a homogeneous sample of UC in the interval 600-2700?K.

The data of these studies are in good agreement with the overlapping temperature interval and fit into the general curve expressed by equation [11] of the type HT- 11298 = a+ bT dT3?? . (1) Table 2 presents for comparison the values of the heat capacity of UC, obtained in [8] and calculated in [11] according to the data of [10]. Table 3 presents the thermal functions of UC, calculated in [11]. Variation of the heat content of UC1.93 in the interval 1484-2851?K and UC1.9,3 in the interval 400-1500?K was determined in [12] and [13], respectively, by the method of calorimetry of mixing (Fig. 3). In the over- lapping temperature interval, the values found for the change in the enthalpy coincide within the limits of the experimental errors, but the values of the heat capacity differ substantially. Thus, according to the data of [12], at 1490?K the heat capacity of UC1.93 = 23.8 cal/mole ? deg, while according to the data of [13] it is equal to 21.2 cal/mole ? deg. Moreover, as can be seen from Fig. 4, the nature of the change in the heat capacity also differs. In [11] the data of the two investigations are compared and presented in the form of an equation of the type of (1). In Fig. 3 the sharp increase in the heat capacity of a-UC2 close to the point of the CY -0 conversion is clearly visible. The substantial increase in the heat capacity of UC2 (and UC) in the region of high temperatures, which follows from the results of the measurements of [12], was the cause of the lack of confidence in these data. However, the author of [11] believes that there is no basis for doubt, since the heat content of other carbides was also measured, and in the case of TiC, ZrC, and TaC, an increase in the heat capacity was found, while in the case of Hf C, NbC, and WC, it was not. Nonetheless, the results of measurements of the content of UC2 above 1650?K should be treated with caution, since when UC2 is cooled in the interval 2038- 1650?K, there is frequently a precipitation of UC. Such precipitation probably occurred during the mea- surements in [12], which was noted by the authors of [20], who recalculated the data of [12] on the assump- tion that they pertain to a mixture of 0.055 UC + 0.945 UC1.91 + 0.07 C. This theoretically correct correc- tion somewhat lowers the value of the heat capacity of UC2 but has little effect on the value of the free 1212 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 TABLE 3.

Moreover, the correction cannot be accurate, since it cannot be established how much UC was precipitated during cooling in the calorimeter [12]. Taking the aforementioned into con- sideration, the author of [11] did not introduce any corrections into the data of [12] in the calculation of the thermal functions of UC (see Table 3) and UC2 (Table 4). However, the thermal functions of UC2 should ev- idently be corrected by adding the configurational entropy of ordering, calculated in [20] and equal to 0.60 cal/mole ? deg, to the experimentally found entropy of UC2. There is no information on the high-temperature heat capacity of U2C3. Considering the unusual be- havior of UC and UC2, all attempts to estimate it will be extremely doubtful. Enthalpy of Formation. The standard enthalpy of formation (6,Hf288) of uranium carbides was deter- mined most accurately by the method of calorimetry of combustion. On the basis of mass spectrometric measurements [14], we detected a pronounced dependence of the enthalpy of formation of substoichiometric uranium monocarbide on the composition [21]. Therefore, samples with the composition UC0.996 and UC1.032 were taken for combustion, i.e., close to the stoichiometric. The enthalpies of formation were found equal to -23.3 ? 0.9 and -28.0 ? 1.0 kcal/mole, respectively [14]. Considering the results of our measurements [22] of the heats of formation of U308 and UO2, these quantities should be approximately 0.8 kcal more nega- tive, i.e., AHf288 for UCI.00 = -24.0 ? 0.7 kcal/mole. The value of the enthalpy of formation of UC2 should also be corrected according to the same principle. Evidently, the most reliable value if .6,Hf288 for UC1.80 = -21.6 ? 1.4 kcal/mole. In [22] the enthalpy of formation of U2C3 was found equal to -44.0 ? 2 kcal/mole. Free Energy of Formation. Figures 5-7 present the results of high-temperature measurements of the free energy of uranium carbides, obtained by different researchers, treated in [4]. The solid lines in Figs. 5 and 7 were constructed on the basis of the thermal function of UC1.0 and UC1.8 (see Tables 3 and 4) in such a way that they passed through the most reliable values obtained by the calorimetric method at the tempera- ture 298?K. The performance of measurements in different and frequently very limited temperature intervals and the substantial discrepancies between the results of different authors hinder a comparison of the data and do not give sufficiently reliable values of the free energy of uranium carbides within a broad temperature range. Noteworthy is the discrepancy in the values of the free energy, c alculated from the purely calori- metric data and obtained by other methods. Analyzing the causes of this discrepancy, the authors of [4] hy- pothesized that the entropy of uranium (S;88) may be equal not to 12, but to 14 cal/mole ? deg. One of the causes of the discrepancy of the results of measurements of the vapor pressure may be an impurity of oxy- gen, especially when the investigated material is taken in the form of a powder or pulverized between in- dividual experiments. Evidently a great role in the measurements is played by kinetic factors, since the processes of diffusion determine the concentration gradient. 1213 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 26 U +C = UCI.L.t-1 6 8 25 1.5 t kcal 24- 0 ? 2 7 23_ 3 ? 22 5 21 20- 19 - 18- 300 1000 (500 2000 T, ?K 53 3C + 2U = U2C3 52- co 511- r. 50 4 49 - - 42 '1.1 47 46 45 44 300 1000 1500 2009 T, ?K 3 126.5 0 128.0 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig. 5.

Its values, determined in different studies in the last ten years, vary from 117 to 126 kcal/mole. In the latter studies, even higher values were obtained - up to -130 kcal/mole; a value of 128 kcal/mole was used in [4]. The free energy of uranium carbides calculated using this value does not coincide with the energy-obtained ac- cording to purely calorimetric data, and the difference, as can be seen from the figures, comes to 1.5-2 kcal. This almost systematic discrepancy is elminated if we take the heat of evaporation of uranium equal to 126.5 kcal/mole. For AFf of U2C3, the following equation, correct within the interval 973-1173?K, was obtained in [23] (emf AF 7U2C3= -43860 --7T kcal/mole. The value of A Ff for U2C 3c an be calculated, using data for UC and UC2, from the equilibria 1J2C3= 0,738UCI,o, 1,242UCI,75 (at 2000? K); U2C3+ 0,78C --= 2UCI,8, (at 1790'K). The corresponding values of A Ff for U2C 3are equal to -49.96 kcal/mole (at AHv? = 128 kcal/mole) and -52.0 kcal/mole [4]. On account of the absence of certain necessary thermal data for 1J2C 3, it is not known whether there is agreement between the values obtained. However, it is clear that when AHv = 128 kcal/mole is used, the value of A Ff for U2C3is too small, but it becomes more suitable lithe calculation is performed at AlIv? = 126.5 kcal/mole. The Uranium - Nitrogen System In this article we shall discuss only the thermodynamic properties of uranium mononitride, UN, on the basis of the data of [26]. The heat capacity and heat content of UN were determined experimentally at low temperatures in [27, 28] and at high temperatures in [29, 30] (Fig. 8). The results of both low-temperature measurements [27, 28] are in good agreement in most of the tem- perature region, but in the interval 250-350?K there is a slight discrepancy.

Of the high-temperature measurements [29, 30], the data of [29] are better, since they were per- formed in a broader temperature interval. The calculated curves obtained [31, 32] were constructed as a result of a mathematical treatment of the experimental data [29, 30]. However, these curves do not coincide with the latter. The author of [26], using the equation recommended [11] for the calculation of the temperature de- pendence of refractory compounds of the type of carbides, of the form = c, c2T ?c3T2+ c4T-2 (2) and the experimental data of [29], also constructed the curves cited in Fig. 8. It is in good agreement with experimental data of [29] and almost parallel to the curve expressing the heat capacity of uranium mono- carbide UC, cited in Fig. 8 for comparison. Considering the similarity of the chemical bonds and the monotypic nature of the crystal lattices of UN and UC, such parallelism of the curves of Cp for UN and UC seems logical and is an additional confirma- tion of the curve constructed in [26]. The thermal functions of UN, calculated by the author of [26] using the formula that he obtained, as well as the values of the heat capacity C and the entropy S at 298?K, determined in [28], are cited in Table 5 and are recommended. The heat of formation of UN was determined by two methods; 1) by measurement of the heat liberated in the reaction U N2 ---> UN; 2) by the calorimetric method of combustion in fluorine or oxygen. The values of the heat of forma- tion, measured by the second method, are more negative. The cause of this discrepancy is not known. . Evidently the data obtained by the first method are preferable [35, 36], since they were measured under conditions that better correspond to the practical conditions and are close to the heat of formation of UN, measured by the method of combustion in oxygen [37]. The average of the data of these three studies [35-37] is equal to ?70.4 0.7 kcal/mole and is recommended for the heat of formation of UN. 1215 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 TABLE 7.

By metallographic analysis, 6.3 mole % Pu2C3 was detected in it, so that the "monocarbide" had a composition of PuC0.86. The smoothed out results of the measurements are presented in Table 6. There are no other data on the low-temperature heat capacity of plutonium car- bides. High-Temperature Heat Capacity. There is information only on the heat capacity of PuC0.87, measured by the method of calori- metry of mixing in the interval 425-1295?K [33]. The thermal func- tions of PuC0.9 obtained are cited in Table 7. It is scarcely possible to evaluate the heat capacity of Pu2C3 sufficiently reliably, since there are no data for compounds with such a structure. Enthalpy of Formation. It should be considered that the values of Alli298 for PuC0.77 and Pu2C3, ob- tained by the method of calorimetry of combustion [38], were erroneous on account of the insufficiently accurate characterization of the combustible substances. V. V. Akhachinskii has proposed a new method of evaluating the heats of formation of plutonium car- bides [39]. He has noted that if in carbides formed by chemically similar metals (for example, TiC, ZrC, Hf C) the values of the parameter AHsubl.me/Tm.me = Ki are close, then the values of AHf2981VIeCtAlisubl.Me = K2 and Alif298mec/Tm.me are also close where AHsubLme and Tm.me are the heat of sublimation (at 298?K) and the melting point of the metal forming the carbide, while AHf298mec is the heat of formation of the carbide per g-atom of the metal. In the case of carbides of variable composition, Allf298 pertains to the carbide with maximum carbon content. As a result of the enthalpy of formation, the value of Hf298 for PuCo.879 Pu2C3, and PuC2 was estimated at ?14.5 ? 1.4, ?29.0 ? 2.9, and 14.5 ? 1.4 kcal/mole. Free Energy of Formation. Recently the pressure of plutonium above two-phase systems "PuC" Pu2C3 and PuC2 + C was measured by the vapor transfer method [40]. The Knudsen method has been used [41] to investigate two-phase regions "PuC" Pu2C3 and Pu2C3 + C. The results of the measurements, per- formed by two groups of researchers in overlapping composition regions, differed by no more than 10%. The vapor pressure of plutonium above two-phase regions was expressed by the following equations; ?PuC#H-Pu2C3 Pu2C3+ C PuC2_x-I-C 1g Patm = 5.116 lg Patm = 4.39 1g Pam= 3.618 18:,53 1907?K); (3) (4) (5) (1325? 20330T 1835? K); (1366 ? 18723 (2017-2472?K), where the first equation is the result of a treatment of the experimental studies [40, 41] by the method of least squares. From these equations we can obtain expressions for the change in the free energy of the 1216 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 TABLE 8.

K). Calculations using the second law of thermodynamics give a value of 1111238 = 93.0 kcal for reaction (9), which is in good agreement with the value calculated according to the third law of thermodynamics and is equal to 93.4 kcal. Combining this value with the standard heat of sublimation of plutonium (83.0 ? 1.0 kcal), we can find that the standard enthalpy of formation of plutonium monocarbide Alli298 for PuC (s01) = ?10.4 kcal/mole. In [42] the activity of plutonium in the two-phase regions PuC + Pu2C3 (971-1060?K) and Pu2C3 + C (974-1091?K) was measured by the emf method. Analyzing the results obtained, the author of [34] obtained for the reaction the equation PUhci 1- 0.9es, PUG? ,9(sol) (10) AF= ? 15450 ? 1.30T cal (970 ? 1060? K), (11) which differs somewhat fromthat cited in [42]. Evidently the slope of the line AF = f(T) according to the data of [42] is erroneous, since the value of AS of the reaction could not be determined accurately on account of the small temperature interval of the measurements. Calculations according to the third law, if A F1000, calculated according Eq. (11), is taken as the basis, give a value of AHi238 for PuC0.3 = 12.5 kcal, which is close to the value obtained by V. V.Akhachinskii [39] as a result of an estimate. For the reaction 2Pu lig +3Csor= Pu2C3 (so)) (12) the following function was found in [42] = ?52500+ 14.7T cal (974-1091?K). (13) At the present time, the results of measurements of the vapor pressure are preferable to the data ob- tained by the emf method on account of the good agreement of the results of various investigators and the good agreement with the theoretical data. Combining the latter with the calculated standard heat of forma- tion of PuCO3 (-10.4 kcal/mole), we can obtain the thermodynamic functions cited in Table 8. The free energy of formation can be represented by two equations: Pusoi + 0 .9Qoi= PuC0,9(s01), AF? = ? 11060 ? 1.16T (298 ? 913? K); Puhq+0.9Csoi=PuCsoi, AF?= ? 11510 ? 0.48T (913 ? 1927?K). The tables of thermodynamic functions for Pu2C3 and PuC2 cannot be compared on account of the ab- sence of thermal data. However, using the data of [43] on the evaporation of pure plutonium and the thermal data, cited in [44], we can find the values of A F in the high-temperature region. 1217 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 For the process pviiq --> Pugas (14) AF?=79570-22.39T cal (1366-1835?K): (15) AF? = 81360-23.32T cal (2017-2472?K). (16) From these equations and Eqs. (7) and (8), we find for Pt]lig+ PUC(sol) AF-= -13440-2.37' cal (1366-1835?K) (18) and for (17) Piing+ (2- x) Csoi = PuC2-x (sol) AF -= -4350-6,77 cal (2017--2472?K). (19) (20) To eliminate certain contradictions, the author of [44] proposes that Eq. (20) be changed, and reduces it to the form AF= -7580-5.337' cal (1933-2495?K). (21) There are no data on the thermodynamics of Pu3C2 (the t-phase). Entropy. It may be assumed that the entropy of PuC0.87 at 0?K is equal to R (0.13 ln 0.13 + 0.87 in 0.87) = 0.77 cal/mole ? deg. This value should be added to that found experimentally (see Table 7), and then S;98 for PuC0.87 = 18.1 cal/mole .deg, which agrees with the value proposed in [39]. Evidently the thermal functions of PuC13.3 cited in Table 7 should be recalculated, considering the new value of the entropy, in- creasing the absolute values of S'T and F?1493/T by 0.77 cal/mole ? deg. Correspondingly, the enthalpy of formation for PuC0.3, calculated according to the evaporation data, using the third law of thermodynamics, proves equal to -9.0 kcal/mole. In the report [39], the following values of the entropy are recommended for Pu2C3 and PuC2: 41.6 ? 3 and 22.5 ? 2 cal/mole .deg, respectively. LITERATURE CITED 1. E.Westrum, E. Suite, and H.

A. Kozhevnikov and V. S. Khavkin UDC 621.039.512.4 The time dependence of the neutron age rs(u, t) is examined.

The analytic features of the complete formal solution of the steady-state slowing-down problem are studied. The spatial, angular, and energy distributions of neutrons close to the source are obtained in ex- plicit form. This result does not depend on the order of the BN-approximation (N 1) and has the same form for all spectral approximations: (z, u, IA) = X (z, u, (z, u); (2) (3) ,I, \ c_z2/4To(u) z2 To (z, 0 V4Ivrou) 1+44 [Ts (U)? To (U)1+ ...} (4) ( The neutron spectrum 4/0(u), the total, age rs(u), the Fermi age r0 (u), and the second spatial-angular moment rs(u, /1) were calculated previously [1, 2] in four spectral approximations (Wigner, Weinberg?Wigner, and the generalized and standard Greuling?Goertzel approximations). The quantities rs(u, it) and Z(u, ?) (the first spatial-angular moment) depend on the angular distribution of the source neutrons. The condition for the applicability of (3) and (4) is formulated as the inequality z 2-co (u) , (5) ^ max where Amax is the maximum slowing-down length in the interval. If condition (5) is satisfied the classical age approximation is valid for media with any hydrogen content but is not applicable to an absorbing modera- tor. The results (3)-(5) are valid for an arbitrary energy dependence of the reaction cross sections and, as is true of the more general formal solution, are easily generalized to take account of inelastic scattering and diffraction anisotropy. At large distances from the source the spatial and energy neutron distributions are determined by the character of the energy dependence of the total interaction cross section. To explain the principal prop- erties of the distribution function, determined by the resonance character of the Z(u) dependence, a single negative resonance (interference minimum) of the cross section is considered in the Wigner approximation for isotropic scattering.

INVESTIGATION OF THE CALIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A RADIATION THE RMODIVERTER IN HIGH-INTENSITY FIELDS OF IONIZING RADIATIONS V. S. Karasev, S. S. Ogorodnik, UDC 621.039.564 and Yu. L. Tsoglin An integrated heat flux calorimeter, known as a radiation thermodiverter (RTD), has been proposed for measuring heat generated by radiation; this device features high accuracy, high sensitivity, quick re- sponse, and arbitrary shape and size.

The behavior of the calibration curves of the RTD in re- sponse to irradiation wei-e studied experimentally in this ar- ticle, and the results of long-term radiation stability tests di- rectly in the core of thenuclear reactor are reported. The experimental procedure is designed to take separate account of the effects of intensity, integrated fast flux, and y- radiation. The transport channel in a reflector at the inter- face with the reactor core, and an experimental channel in a spent-fuel storage pool, were selected as the exposure zones in the experiment. An RTD with a cylindrical cavity 20 mm in diameter, 20 mm in height, 0.30 mV/W sensitivity, was tested in the reactor channel, and another RTD with an inner cavity 9 mm in diameter and 12 mm in height, with a sensitivity of 66.6 mV/W, was tested in the pool channel. Results of the RTD calibrations at different positions in the height of the reactor channel, at different stages in the ex- posure, are plotted in Fig. 1. The integrated fast (sulfur) flux amounted to 1.2 ? 1019 neutrons/cm2 by the time the experiment was over. For long-term testing for radiation stability, a thermo- diverter unit made up of copper?constantan thermopiles with mica interlayers sandwiched between them as electrical insula- tion, was placed in a hermetically sealed capsule which was Translated from Atomnaya Energiya, Vol. 29, No. 6, p.449, December, 1970.

The capsule was exposed to irradiation rated at 10 MW for over three months, and received over that time span an integrated fast flux (sulfur) of 4.3 ? 1020 neutrons/cm2, and an integrated thermal flux (gold) of 6.7 ? 1020 neutrons/cm2, with an integrated y-radiation dose (lead) of 2.7 ? 106 Mrad. A monotonic decline in the dose rate in lead, referred to 1 MW, was observed, ending up at 4.65% by the end of the exposure, and this was accounted for by a decrease in the intensity of the soft component of the y-radiation stemming from fuel burnup in neighboring fuel elements in the core. These experiments demonstrated that the calibration curves of the thermodiverter retain their lin- earity and stability in high-intensity fields of ionizing radiations. The practical feasibility of long-term service of the thermodiverter for in-pile measurements was thereby demonstrated. CALCULATION OF PHOTONEUTRON DISTRIBUTION BY MONTE CARLO METHOD A. A. Morozov and A. I. Khisamutdinov UDC 539.125.5.348:546:45 The conditions of the problem are as follows. A pulsed source of y-rays placed at a height h above the surface of the earth emits 1.667-2.2 MeV photons in a cone of a given angle. The photons fall on beryl- lium-bearing rock and initiate photonuclear reactions in beryllium, producing neutrons which pass through the air. The beryllium is assumed to be uniformly spread through the rock. The quantities investigated are the integrated neutron fluxes in given time and energy intervals at various distances from the source. The neutron flux depends on the parameters of the beryllium-containing rock as well as on height, time, energy, and distance from the source. Plane symmetry in the neutron part of the problem and the uniformity of time were used in finding the required integrated fluxes by a specially developed modification of the Monte Carlo method. Local flux calculations were thus avoided. In the process of solving the problem the neutron trajectory was displaced to the proper point in phase space and then the corresponding "importance of production" was calculated at the point of actual production. Time histograms were obtained and interpreted for beryllium-bearing granite with porosities of 0, 3, and 6%, energy intervals of 0-0.4 and 0.4-400 eV, heights h of 20, 45, and 100 m, and distances from the source r of 0 and 10 m. The time axis of the histograms contains the time intervals 10-5-10-3; 10-3-5 ? 10-3; 5 ? 10-3-10-2; 10-2-5 ? 10-2; and 5- 10-2-10-1 sec. The results of the calculations confirm the possibility of air prospecting for beryllium from a height of 45-60 m with a y-source 5. 1012 photons/sec for a beryllium density of ?10-5 g/cm3, and can contribute to the choice of optimum instrument characteristics.

P. Lisovskii and L. A, Smakhtin* UDC 621.039.564 A Method for determining oxygen from the reaction 016(n, p)Ii16 is suggested. The samples are ir- radiated in stainless steel ampoules in an NG-160 neutron generator which is provided with a device for interrupting the deuteron beam (diameter of the ampoules 15 mm, length 20 mm, and internal volume 1.6 cm3). The maximum flux at the point of irradiation amounts to 5 ? 108 neutrons/cm2 ? sec. The integral neutron flux through the internal volume of an ampoule (sample) is directly proportional to the flux through the ampoule walls. This makes it possible to use the induced activity of the ampoule (reaction Fe56(n, p) ? Mn) as the flux monitor. The sample position during the irradiation need not be exactly determined. The y-emission of the samples and of standards was measured with a detector (NaI(T1) crystal with a size of 150 mm x 100 mm and with a hole of 20 mm diameter and 50 mm depth) and an LP4050 512-channel analyzer. The N16 activity was measured in the range 4,8 to 8 MeV. Lucite (C5H802) Was used as an oxygen standard. The ampoules were transported in an automated pneumatic Shuttle. The irradiation time was 30 sec, the delay time 0.9 sec, and the exposure time 30 sec. The background generated by the ampoule was taken into account. The accuracy of the determinations amounted to 1-2.5 relative percent, depending upon the oxygen concentration. The sensitivity was 10-4g 02. VVR REACTOR SEMIAUTOMATIC 'ACTIVATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM I. P. Lisovskii, L. A. Sinakhtin, UDC 621.039.56 N. V. Filippova, and V.I. Volgint A semiautomatic pneumatic shuttle system for a nuclear reactor is described. The specimens were irradiated in hermetically sealed polyethylene capsules which were placed in the shuttle rabbit. After ten rabbits with specimens have been placed in the loader, all further operations (irradiation exposure, extrac- tion of capsule with specimen from the rabbit and delivery of specimen to the laboratory for measurements) are handled automatically. The total time elapsed from the end of the irradiation exposure to the beginning of measurements is 10 to 20 sec (depending on the size of the capsules). Work done in activation analysis with the aid of this semiautomatic shuttle and irradiation system is reviewed. Operating experience with this pneumatic shuttle, over a four-year period, has demonstrated the versatility, reliability, and ease of operation of the system. *Translated from Atomnaya Energiya, Vol. 29, No. 6, p. 450, December, 1970.

A. Roginskii and G. F. Senatorov UDC 621.384.6.07 Systems for the attenuation of betatron oscillations are of great importance for the development and use of cyclic accelerators designed for high intensities and energies. The conventional attenuation systems [1-4] comprise pickup electrodes, which measure the deviation of the beam from the chamber axis (sensors), and electrostatic deflectors (correctors), which adjust the transverse momentum of the particles. The present article is a theoretical consideration of an attenuation method slightly different from the conven- tional method. The principle of the present method, which was suggested by the author of the article and by Yu. S. Ivanov in the Radiotechnical Institute of the Academy of Sciences USSR, is based on the fact that the voltage of several accelerating sections is modulated by a signal proportional to the signal of a sensor measuring the beam shift. The momentum change which is induced in the particle's momentum by the modulation of the longitudinal accelerating field causes a shifting of the particles in radial direction. The system parameters can be selected so that the radial force attenuates the betatron oscillations. Compared with the conventional methods, the present method is characterized by the advantage that the existing accelerating sections can be used as correctors (without affecting their actual purpose); thus, special deflectors, which would occupy additional space, are unnecessary. The relatively low efficiency is the principal disadvantage of the method. The low efficiency results from the fact that the indirect effect upon the radial motion (by modifications of the longitudinal momentum) is small. Nevertheless, one can accomplish in such a system a constant attenuation which is equal to several ten revolutions, and this suf- fices for suppressing certain transverse beam instabilities (e.g., drag instabilities). The article describes in detail one of the versions of the proposed attenuation system consisting of a sensor and two accelerating sections used as correctors. The voltage of the first section (first section, as far as the motion of the particles is concerned) is modulated with a signal which is proportional to the sensor signal. Therefore, after passage through the resonator, the particles which arrive in the equilib- rium phase acquire a momentum different from the equilibriurn momentum. A radial force proportional to the relative momentum deviation caused by the modulation of the accelerating voltage acts upon the par- ticles. The phase of the voltage applied to the second resonator is opposite to the modulation of the first resonator, and therefore, the momentum deviation of the particles vanishes after the passage of the part- tidies through the resonator, and the particle motion is not affected by a radial force. The system was described with a matrix method. The attenuation decrement and the stability regions were determined. It could be shown that the distance between the sensor and the first section must be equal to an integer of the wavelength of the betatron oscillations in order to obtain the highest efficiency; the distance between the sections must be equal to a half integer, of the betatron oscillation wavelength.

Kh. Cherkasskii and V. S. Makarov UDC 621.362 An independently functioning electromagnet with a built-in thermoelectric direct converter for direct conversion of the heat energy of radioactive decay into electrical energy, and combining the positive fea- tures of a permanent magnet (continuous and independent operation without the aid of external power sup- plies) with the advantages of an electromagnet (high field strength, high flux density, linearity of B?H characteristics, stability to effects exerted by strong externally applied magnetic fields, capability of ser- vice at temperatures well above the Curie point of ferromagnetic materials), is proposed by the authors and examined. This nquasipermanent" magnet (see Fig. 1) consists of the thermopiles 1 and 2 placed on the surface of the fuel slug 3 and the electrically closed winding 4, which envelops the ferromagnetic core 5. A part of the core is cut off to form a working gap. The fuel slug consists of several capsules with radioactive iso- tope 6 placed within a current-conducting casing 7. The heat energy of radioactive decay is converted by the thermoelectric cells into electrical energy, so that a short-circuit current appears in the magnet wind- ing, and a magnetic field is established in the working gap. The current in question depends on the parameter Y acr/x, of the thermoelectric material, which is expressed in A/W units: q0b1Fe y A (1-km -HT) ' where a, cr, are the thermal emf, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric cell; qo is the density of the heat flux flowing through the thermoelectric cell; biFe is the heat contact sur- face; m is the ratio of the winding resistance to the resistance of the pn pair; zT is the Ioffe criterion.

Chesnokov UDC 621.039.521:621.039.55 The water-cooled, water-moderated IR-100 teaching and research reactor was commissioned in 1967; it was designed for a thermal power of 100 kW and used uranium dioxide (10% enriched) as nuclear fuel. Sheathless fuel cassettes were used for the first time in the IR-100, in conjunction with small graphite dis- placers and a demountable graphite reflector; these enabled a variety of critical-composition configurations to be created. The release of heat from the active zone of the reactor is effected by the natural directional circula- tion of water. The water is cooled in a heat exchanger built into the vessel of the reactor. In order to im- prove the natural circulation of the water, the reactor vessel contains a concentric cylindrical barrier sit- uated below the active zone. The barrier separates the active zone and the space above it filled with hot water from the water cooled in the heat exchanger. Thermal column Fig. 1.

A description of the construction of the IR-100 and its rated physical and technological parameters was given earlier [1, 2]. In this paper we shall present the results of some measurements carried out during the introductory pe- riod and the subsequent running of the reactor, charac- terizing its experimental potentialities. A schematic chart representing the loading of the active zone and the arrangement of the experimental sections of the reactor are presented in Fig. 1. The working load (charge) of the active zone comprises 43 fuel cassettes (2.4 kg U235), 40 graphite displacers, and one beryllium photoneutron source. The reactivity reserve of the reactor with the ex- perimental sections empty is 0.58%. The total com- pensating capacity of the control rods is 4.7%. The reactivity introduced by the mobile can [1] is 0.06% on filling it with graphite and 0.05% on filling it with water. Filling the central experimental channel (CEC) with water increases the reactivity of the reactor by 0.48%. Filling the other experimental regions with water has no effect on the reactivity of the system.

The dose rate of y-radiation was mea- sured with small-scale 'y-chambers (maximum error 20%).

Practical experience showed that the cooling system employed in the IR-100 reactor had a consider- able reserve factor, enabling the reactor power to be raised to between 200 and 300 kW without seriously changing the loading of the active zone.

LIQUID MIXTURE OF COOLANT, AND OF VAPOR CONTENT, ON SURFACE HEAT-TRANSFER COEFFICIENT IN BOILING OF WATER INSIDE TUBES F. F. Bogdanov UDC 621.039.534.44 The literature contains surprisingly little data on the effect of steam content and the flow velocity of a coolant vapor?liquid mixture on surface heat-transfer coefficients in the case of boiling in channels and tubes. This appears to stem from the fact that many investigators have failed to detect any such effects in their experiments at all. One of the reasons for this wciuld be insufficient attention on the part of investi- gators to keeping the heating surface sufficiently, clean. Experience has shown that the presence of a 0.02- 0.03 mm thick oxide film on the heating surface will result in an appreciably steep rise in thermal resis- tanceoverthe path of the heat flux in boiling, offsetting any comparable drop in steam content or in the flow- speed of the vapor?liquid mixture. Hence, only those investigators who stage their experiments on suf- ficiently clean heating surfaces will have any success in defecting the influence exerted by the above fac- tors on surface heat transfer when water is boiled in channels. Generalizations about boiling heat transfer within tubes consequently either fail to take account of the effect of vapor content and of the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid coolant mixture at all, or else take ac- count of the effect of vapor content alone, and that in at best a highly approximate manner. These circumstances render it more convenient to seek out some new form for making generaliza- tions on experimental data, one which would take into account the effect on surface heat-transfer coeffi- cients of changes in the relative steam content by weight, and in the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid coolant mixture. At the basis of these generalizations, we placed our improved formula from reference [1], with ther- modynamic similitude criteria brought into the picture, and proposed for the purpose of determining the surface heat-transfer coefficients in boiling of water on clean heating surfaces when steam content is either positive or negative, as well as the recommendations in reference [2] on treating the effect exerted on heat- transfer coefficients in boiling of a liquid phase in tubes where the flowspeed of the liquid phase is linear, and laminar flow goes over into turbulent flow. a? 10-4, kcal/m2 h. deg 20 10 8 7 6 5 111,11111E2111 1111M=MINIIIIME MEMINMEMEIMMIMITIIMIMMR Mrailtilli.111.111=1111.1111111 11111.1111.11111 RiIIi*?U III 4 5 6 7 8.910? 2 3 4 5 6 7 8' W mx, m/sec Fig. 1.

Experimental data borrowed from references [1, 3], and taken from our own experiments, were used in processing the experimental results; 1) on surface heat transfer when subcooled water is boiled on the practically clean heating surfaces of narrow annular channels, and obtained at very high heat flux levels [q = 106 to 3.106 kcal/T/12.h] and at pressure p = 175 atm; 2) on surface heat transfer in the case of boiling in oxide-coated tubes, and obtained at pressures of 50, 120, and 140 atm. The experiments were carried out by a procedure described in the literature [2], but the arrangement was modified slightly. A tube of 1K1118N9T steel with an outer diameter of 23.5 mm and wall thickness of 1.25 mm, total length 1 = 3290 comprising two sections tobe heated: /1 = 345 mm, and /2 = 1020 mm, and with a stabilized section left unheated, of length lo = 805 mm, was used as the working section in the experiments. Four Chromel-Alumel thermocouples 0.2 mm in diameter were used on each of two cross sections on the /2 interval of tubing, and four thermocouples were used in one cross section on the 11 interval. The thermocouples measured the temperature of the external surface of the experimental tube; the temperature of the tube inner surface was determined by calculations based on K. D. Voskresenskii's formula.* The experiments were carried out under rigorously stationary conditions. Only the heat load on the economizer lengths of tubing was varied before each series of experiments. As a rule, the maximum heat load was established in the first experiments in each series, and was found to decrease from one experi- ment to the next. Whenthe heat load on the economizer tube lengths remained unaltered, five to six experi- ments each lasting 30 min were carried out. *This formula was derived by K. D.

At the same time, the vapor content by volume varied appreciably from one experiment to the next, and the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid mixture also underwent appreciable changes. Data from these experiments are plotted in Fig. 1 in the form of the dependence a = f(w ). The ex- perimental data points plot out with a modest spread (relative to the skewed straight lines giving the slope n = 0.16 at all the heat fluxes and pressures measured). This means that the change in heat flux and pres- sure over the range investigated will have no effect on the way heat transfer accompanying boiling of water in tubes is affected by the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid mixture. But the diagram also shows experimental data from reference [1] on heat transfer when water boils in tubes. A correction intended to eliminate any direct effect of the vapor content by weight was introduced into the values of the surface heat-transfer co- efficients in this case. The experimental data from [1] corrected in this manner fit with very little spread about the skewed straight lines representing the slopes n = 0.16. Accordingly, the effect of the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid coolant mixture on the surface heat-transfer coefficients in boiling in tubes and chan- nels can be taken into account by means of the power-law multiplier w??16 at those parameters, or by the simplex (wmx/wcr)" in generalized formulas, at any pressures of the vapor?liquid coolant mixture. This dimensionless criterion links the rate of surface heat transfer, in boiling in channels, with the hydro- dynamics of two-phase flow. When we also take into account the recommendations put forth in reference [1] on handling the effect cxerted on heat transfer by the steam content by weight in boiling, the total effect of the flowspeed of the vapor?liquid coolant mixture and of the vapor content by weight in this mixture on heat transfer when the coolant boils in the channels in forced flow, can be treated properly by using the dimensionless complex: x0 4 wmx) 0.16 (1.1Cr The magnitude of the component of the surface heat-transfer coefficient ascribed to boiling can be determined with sufficient accuracy by using the formula , Tcr Ts T)2/3 C (PPC: )?.12( ? 0:1 7 ? s kcal m2 ? h ? deg' (1) (2) Hence, the convective component will be determined from Eq.

The free proportionality factor in this formula was adopted in accordance with our recommendations for a weakly oxidized surface, with the as- signed value 0.8. The broken curves on this graph are averaging curves [1] plotted for the corresponding heat flux levels. The theoretical curves based on formula (3) describe the experimental data in [1] quite closely, and almost coincide with the averaging curves based on those data. Figure 3 also shows the theoretical curves based on formula (3) for the pressure p = 100 atm. It is clear from the diagram that these curves are equi- distant from the theoretical curves plotted for p = 170 atm. Here we also have the experimental data from [1] relating the same heat flux levels at negative vapor content (subcooled liquid), at the pressure 170 atm. The experimental data are approximated by the theo- retical curves plotted on the basis of a formula in which the multiplicative factor taking the convective com- ponent into account is raised to the negative power recommended by the authors of reference [1].

Our experimental data on surface heat transfer in boiling of subcooled water at the pressure p = 170 atm on a practically clean heating surface of annular channels ,with forced flow (indicated by circles blackened in top half), also plotted in that dia- gram, are again approximated closely by formula (4). The free proportionality factor is assigned the val- ues of 1 and 2 in that case, depending on how clean the heating surface is. These experimentally derived data points fit the approximating curve with a very small spread. LITERATURE CITED 1. N. V.

K. Daruga and E. S. Matusevich UDC 621.384.633 The measurements were performed at the FI cyclotron. The energy of the proton beam was deter- mined by the range in aluminum foils and by a semiconductor detector. At the time of the measurements the energy was 11.5 ? 0.5 MeV (molecular hydrogen) and 23.5 ? 0.7 MeV (atomic hydrogen). The targets of Li, Be, C, Mg, Al, Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Nb, Cd, Ta, W, Pb, Bi, and U had their natural isotopic compositions, and thicknesses equal to the range of the bombarding protons. The experimental procedure and technique were described earlier [1]. Absolute measurements were made with a BF3 long counter. The angular distributions of neutrons from the targets were measured with a ZnS(Ag) scintillator in Plexiglas and a B10 + ZnS(Ag) scintillator with a polyethylene neutron moderator 5 cm thick. Backgrounds were determined with a shadow cone. The total yields were obtained by integrating the areas under the angular distribution curves, taking account of the neutron spectra and the detector characteristics. The shape of the angular distribution in the 0 > 140? region was obtained by extrapolation. The angular distributions for all targets except carb9n fall smoothly from Slab = 0 to Blab = 180?. The neutron yield from carbon increases in both the forward and backward directions. Table 1 shows the absolute neutron yields in 4r and in the tab = 0? direction. Table 2 gives the characteristics of the neutron spectra in the range En = 1-6 MeV for E. = 23.5 MeV, listigg values of the parameters Tw and TL for describing the spectra in the form ?Enexp(?En/Tw) and ^,41/11exp(?En/TL) respectively. The spectra of neutrons emitted in the ?lab = 0? direction from light targets (Li, Be, C) are very different from spectra of evaporated neutrons.

A. Alekseev, N. N. Kozhenkov, UDC 621.039.553.36 and G. A. Kotel'nikov The current method of analyzing the amount of accumulated corrosion product deposits in nuclear reactor circuits, using specimens of zirconium alloys, is based on boiling the deposits in 6N HCI. How- ever, solution is very slow and systematic errors may be incurred owing to incomplete solution of these products (chiefly iron oxides). These difficulties can be eliminated by determining the content of the cor- rosion product deposits from their y-radiation. Study of the deposits was performed on specimens from outside the active zone ? in the heat-transfer agent of the forced-circulation loop of the MR reactor of the I. V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. The specimens were prepared from zirconium alloys. The spectrum of the y-quanta, measured by means of a Ge(Li) detector, clearly displayed Co6? and Cr51 isotopes. The iron content was determined by means of o-phenanthroline. The error of the iron determination was assessed by the accuracy of the spectro- photometric method. Thus, during the experiment we determined how the activity of Co6? in the sweeping- out liquor depends on its iron content. Analysis of the experimental data revealed that in the corrosion product deposits, the activity of Co6? is proportional to the iron content to within ?10% (see Table 1). This fact may be used for rapid and re- mote-controlled determinations of accumulated iron concentration of specimens, and also in pipelines (for studying the kinetics of sweeping away of deposits), and other similar problems. We thank V. F. Kozlova for helping with the assembly of the spectrometer, V. A. Ermakov for his use- ful advice, and V. F. Leonov for operating the apparatus. TABLE 1.

N. Moskvin and N. N. Kalinin UDC 543.544.6 Analysis of radioactive elements in the water of the reactor primary loop is protracted and compli- cated, no matter whether the methods of analysis used are sedimentation techniques, extractive techniques, or chromatographic techniques [1-3]. The appearance of Ge(Li)-detectors in 7-ray spectroscopy has made the job of identifying radioactive elements a much simpler one. It has become possible to estimate the con- tent of individual isotopes directly from the 7-ray spectrum of the primary loop water in the reactor sys- tem [4]. But because of the different yields in fission, different activation cross sections for impurities, and peculiar spectral features, some of the radioactive isotopes may escape detection directly against the 7-ray spectrum background of the total sum of active products present in the coolant stream. 1500 1000 500 L 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 Channel number 1131 285 1131 365 180 200 220 Fig. 1. 7-Ray spectrum of fraction sepa- rated out on column packed with AB-17 anion-exchange resin. 500 400 300 200 100 - cz? oo: 210 40 60 80 11117 120 140 Channel number 150 Fig. 2. 7-Ray spectrum of fraction separated out on column with di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid.

The authors of the present article made some attempts to combine group express chromatographic separation of fission products with subsequent identification on a Ge(Li)-spectrometer, an approach which makes provisions for singling out the most highly active impurities in the reactor loop water (viz., iodine and alkali metals) and considering them in separate groups. Radioactive elements have to be stabilized in a single chemical form in order to isolate them in quantitative work. The introduction of formic acid is important in setting up conditions favorable to chro- matographic separation of fission fragments. As a strong reducing agent, formic acid contributes to the conversion of different forms of iodine and bromine to a single reduced form, 1- or Br-, which then makes it possible to isolate these elements quantitatively on a column with a strongly basic anion-exchange resin (AB-17 in our case) in the formate form. The acidity of the solution needed in order to separate out the rare earths from the alkali and alkali earth metal on a chromatographic partition column of Teflon coated with di-2-ethylhexylorthophosphoric acid as the stationary organic phase is achieved at the same time, and with ease. A system of columns made of glass, all of the same dimensions (100 mm in height, 12.5 mm in diam- eter) and connected in series, was utilized in the chromatographic separation. The first column was filled with AB-17 anion-exchange resin with grain sizes from 100 to 250 it, in the formate form (HCO2-). The sec- ond column consisted of Teflon in pellet form, coated with di-2-ethylhexylorthophosphoric acid. The prepa- ration of this type of column has been described in detail in the literature [51. The third column was filled with Dowex-50X8cation-exchange resin, grain sizes 100 to 250 IA, in the 11+ _form. Cation-exchange resin KU-2 lends itself equally well to this application. The aqueous solution to be analyzed (100 to 250 ml in volume), containing traces of iodine, cesium, barium, lanthanum, and cerium, was acidified to pH = 2 with formic acid, and was passed under pressure, at a flowspeed of 8 to 10 ml/min, through the array of columns. The eluate was collected in a receptacle and checked for activity. All the activity contained in the solution under analysis was retained in the sys- tem of columns after the solution had made one traversal of the system. 1237 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 152 5014,9 La140 487 Baf40 C6e 436qajLtL La14 00 815 60140 536 [II I I I I 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 . 200 220 240 260 280 300 Channel number Fig. 4. y-Ray spectrum of fraction separated out on third column. The columns, together with the vessel for the original working solution, were washed with 10 to 20 ml 0.01 M solution of formic acid. No activity was detected in the wash effluent. The coating and washing operations take 15 to 20 min. After washing, the system was analyzed. The third column was washed with 10 ml 6 N hydrochloric acid (1.5 to 2 free volumes). Each column and the test tube with the eluate from the third column were covered with stoppers and measured on a y-ray spectrometer with a 512-channel ana- lyzer. As was to be expected, quantitative absorption of iodine takes place in the first column: the y-ray spectrum (Fig. 1) indicates the presence of the isotope 1131. No other elements were detected in the first column. The y-ray spectrum of the second column (Fig. 2) is indicative of the presence of isotopes Ce141 and Ce144, i.e., absorption of rare earths is observed in the second column. No isotopes of other elements were detected. The isotope La14? is lacking, since the measurements were taken 19 days after the chemical separation had been effected. Isotopes Cs137 and Cs134 (see Fig. 3) were detected in the eluate from the third column. Ba140 and its daughter La14? remained in the column (Fig. 4). The extent to which the separation of each group of elements in the respective fraction went to completion is confirmed by the absence of activity in the filtrate taken from the system of columns, and by the absence of mutual contamination of the distinct fractions. The scheme of ex?press chromatographic groupwise separation of fission products contained in the reactor loop waters, with subsequent identification of the isotope composition on a semiconductor 'y-ray spectrometer as described, is thus proposed as a regular technique. The authors take this opportunity to express their deep thanks to Yu. E. Loginov for having made it possible to use the Ge(Li)-y-ray spectrometer for the measurements, and for the assistance which he kindly rendered in the work. LITERATURE CITED 1.

A. Beer, P. A. Zagorets, V. F. Inozemtsev, L. A. Maiorov, V. I. Slavyanov, G. A. Artyushov, I. F. Srrygaev, and V. A. Novozhilov UDC 541.15 A pilot plant designed to produce new products, tetrachloroalkanes, by radiation-chemical methods was put on stream in late 1967 at the Grozny chemical combine. At the present time, the experimental op- erations have been pretty much completed, and current plans envisage expanding the facility to full indus- trial scale. The tetrachloroalkanes are of great interest to the chemical processing industry, as semifinished products useful in the synthesis of polymeric materials, additives, lubricants, pesticides, stabilizers, plasticizers, etc., [1]. Tetrachloropropane and tetrachloropentane are acquiring special importance. The tetrachloroalkanes are obtained by a reaction of telomerization from ethylene and carbon tetra- chloride: CC14 C H4 C2H4 Water out // ,,H4 T_D:1 Water in Reaction product On the basis of their research findings, the present au- thors designed and built a pilot plant with two divisions, one for telomerization, the other for rectification, of the tetra- chloroalkanes. The basic layout of the telomerization division is shown in Fig. 1. Carbon tetrachloride is supplied by the pump to the ab- sorber tower 1 for absorption of unreacted ethylene. The solu- tion enters the reactor 2, into which compressed ethylene is bubbled. The sources (total activity ?18 kg-equivalents radi- um) are raised up from their storage pool into the central ir- radiator tube of the reactor under pressure from compressed nitrogen [7]. The irradiated mixture from the reactor is then throttled to 3-5 atm in the separator 3. The unreacted ethylene from the separator is directed to the absorber tower 1, where it is dissolved in carbon tetrachloride and recycled to the pro- cess. Liquid reaction products leaving the separator 3 are throttled to atmospheric pressure in the separator 4, and pass 4 x?C2H4+CC14=C1(CH2CH2)5CC13. This reaction is usually initiated by free radicals obtained via thermal decomposition of peroxides or azo-compounds. It has been shown [2-4] that this reaction is initiated by -y-emission from Con, and the radiation method of initiation has certain ad- vantages here. Subsequently, the radiation-chemical process has been described in the literature by other investigators as well [5, 6]. Nitrogen in Fig. 1.

Dose field of reactor (accord- ing to data provided by ferrosulfate dosimeters): IP) location of dosimetric capsule; x) dose rate. All of the process equipment was made of Kh18N1OT steel. The absorber tower was packed with porcelain rings. The reactor, 550 liters in volume and 800 mm in diameter, was equipped with a coil for heating or cooling, and a bubbler for feeding the ethylene stream. The process is carried out at 15-20 atm and 100?C, for 6 h, and the resulting reaction mixture contains ?80%unreacted carbon tetrachloride and approximately equal quantities of tetrachloropropane and tetrachloropentane. The impurity con- tent remains the same, to within a fraction of apercent. The assigned process parameters correspond to the molar composition of the irradiated mixture R = [CC141/[C2H41 = 5 ? 10. Any change in this composition will mean a change in the content of the distinct tetrachloroalkanes in the mixture, as described by the equations C IR C 2R ? Fi2 ?= (C -F 1) F (C IR+ 1) (C 2R + 1) ' C3R F3? (CIR+ 1) (CO +1) (C3R +1) etc' where Fi is the molar fraction of the telomer in the mixture; R is the molar ratio [CC10[C2H41; Ci is the transfer constant. The transfer constants, according to the data collected by the present authors, have the following values: Temperature, ?C 0 20 50 100 140 Cl C3 0.045 3 10 0.059 2.9 9 0.89 2.8 7 0.155 2.7 5 0.218 2.6 4.7 A drop in the reaction temperature will depress the content of tetrachloroalkanes in the reaction mix- ture slightly, since the energy of activation of the reaction is 5.5 kcal/mole. Dosimetric monitoring of the reactor (with the aid of a methylene blue solution) showed the average absorbed dose rate to be 10 rad/sec. The dose field in the interior of the reaction, taken from readings of ferrosulfate dosimeters, is given by the curve plotted in Fig. 2. The radiation-chemical yield (converted to the dose rate 1 rad/sec) is 22,000 to 27,000 molecules of tetrachloroalkanes per 100 eV of radiation absorbed. According to laboratory data, the yield is inversely proportional to the dose rate, with the exponent 0.73, and is equal to 30,000 molecules per 100 eV at a dose rate of 1 rad/sec. The radiation efficiency is 0.23, which is below the rating (0.38). The formula P =3.7.10-9Mavg' (0)0.27 (Vp)o.no where P is the reactor throughput, in kg/h; g' is the radiation-chemical yield at a dose rate of 1 rad/sec, May is the average molecular weight of the tetrachloroalkanes, 17 is the radiation efficiency; A is the source 1241 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 activity [gram-equivalents radium]; V is the reactor effective volume [liters]; p is the specific weight of the irradiated mixtures [g/cm3], was proposed for large-scale simulation of the process, and was checked for experimental verification. The experimental verification revealed that the process takes place in a stable manner, responds amenably to control measures, and ceases immediately after the sources are removed from the reactor core. A slight induction period was discovered. The process parameters and the composition of the re- sulting mixture were found to be in close agreement with laboratory data. The discharge coefficient of the carbon tetrachloride at the telomerization step is 0.8 to 0.9 (the theoretically predicted discharge coefficient is 0.78). Ethylene losses are negligible. The tetrachloroalkanes obtained after rectification exhibit the required degree of purity. This flowsheet is a reliable one, but could be improved. The process equipment should be made of titanium, since stainless steel is still subject to corrosive attack. Optimization calculations were performed, on the basis of prevailing prices, with due attention to the basic features of the process, on reactor dimensions and activity of radiation sources for different levels of productivity. It was found economically feasible to utilize a reactor of fairly large volume with low-level irradiators. For example, the optimum reactor volume for a throughput of 200 kg/h was found to be ?5 m3, with the activity of the sources set at 55 to 60 kg-equivalents radium. Engineering cost calculations showed that the net cost of tetrachloroalkanes in full-scale industrial production is 600 to 700 rubles/ton. Compared to the process achieved with azo-bis-isobutyronitrile, the radiation-chemical method requires much less initiator (the amount required is cut by 10 to 20 times). LITERATURE CITED 1. R. Kh.

G. Bolotova, V. V. Kotel'nikov, UDC 550.835 and E.P, Leman The use of proportional counters significantly expands the technical capabilities of x-ray radiometric ore analysis and increases the number of elements which can be determined by this method. For example, the high accuracy and sensitivity of x-ray radiometric analysis in the determination of elements with atomic numbers Z 30 by means of the characteristic radiation of the K series can only be achieved with the help of proportional counters [1]. An increase in dimensions and an increase in filling-gas pressure to atmo- spheric makes it possible to increase the efficiency of xenon proportional counters to the extent that ele- ments with a Z of 40-55 are determined from the K series with satisfactory accuracy and sensitivity [2, 3]. For elements with Z > 60, the analysis can be made on the basis of the characteristic radiations of the L series [4] since the detection efficiency for 60-100 keV photons is very small in proportional counters. Use of the K series of these elements for proportional counter analysis is only possible in practice by recording the escape peaks [5]. The escape peaks of xenon counters are of particular interest in the determination of heavy elements (with Z 70) in ores, and particularly tungsten. Tungsten determination by means of the L series is complicated by the fact that it is close in energy (8.5 keV) to the K lines of iron (6.5 keV), copper (8.0 keV), and zinc (8.6 keV), which are often present in ores along with the tungsten, and the counter resolution in 1200 ? 800 1-4 400 20 40 50 80 8, keV 0 5 IOW 03,% Fig. 1.

The tungsten K lines (57-59 keV) efficiently excite the characteristic radiation of the xenon filling in a proportional counter. The xenon is practically transparent to its own characteristic x radiation, and the radiation consequently leaves the counter or is absorbed in the counter walls producing clearly defined escape peaks. The intensity of an escape peak is determined by the photon flux in the characteristic K radiation from tungsten and the posi- tion of the peak in the secondary spectrum ?the energy difference between the K radiations of xenon and tungsten (see Fig. la). An SRPO-12 xenon proportional counter was used as the detector. The characteristic tungsten x radiation was excited with a Co57 source (123 keV). Measurements were made with an AI-8 spectrometer on simulated samples of tungsten ores (a mixture of quartz sand and gypsum was used as filler) over a large solid angle without collimation of the radiation. A maximum was observed in the 60 keV region of the sec- ondary instrumental spectra which resulted from the superposition of the tungsten K lines (57-59 keV) and the xenon K-series escape peak for singly scattered radiation (-90 keV) from the Co57 source. This situa- tion, along with the low detection efficiency for photons with energies above 50 keV, prevents the use of xenon counters for the determination of tungsten in ores by means of the characteristic K radiation. A different picture was observed in the spectral region 20-40 keV where one finds the xenon escape peaks associated with the tungsten K series. Three peaks were very clearly distinguished: the first (in the 25 keV region) corresponds to the energy difference between the tungsten Ka lines and the xenon Ki3 lines; the second (in the 29 keV region) is equal to the difference between the energies of the xenon and tungsten K a lines; the third (with energies of 37-38 keV) results from the difference between the energies of the Kig line of tungsten and the Ka line of xenon. The intensity of the escape peaks increases with an increase in tungsten concentration. The most intense peak is the second one, which can be used as an analytic line for spectral ratio techniques.. Figure lb gives the curve for the dependence of spectral ratios on tungsten trioxide content in simu- lated samples. Scattered radiation at 46 keV was chosen as the internal standard for background. The spectral ratios n were normalized to the value no in the ore-free sample. The n/no curve is close to linear in the tungsten trioxide concentration range 0-5%. The sensitivity of the analysis can be increased by using collimation of the radiation and by reducing the scattered radiation background in the region of the escape peaks. Thus x-ray radiometric analysis of some heavy elements, and of tungsten in particular, by means of characteristic K-series x radiation can be performed with the help of the escape peaks from xenon pro- portional counters when direct recording of the K radiations of these elements proves to be impossible or inefficient. Such a method can be used for the determination of tungsten in tungsten and molybdenum?tung- sten ores. In the analysis of antimony?tungsten or tin?tungsten ores, the use of this technique is compli- cated by the fact that the xenon escape peaks resulting from the presence of tungsten coincide in energy with the analytic K lines of antimony and tin.

ION BUNCH USING BREMSSTRAHLUNG M. L. Iovnovich, V. P. Sarantsev, UDC 533.95:621.039.61 and M. M. Fiks A new method has been proposed [1] for the collective acceleration of ions. The method is based on the possibility of creating electron?ion bunches which are accelerated as a unit in external electromagnetic fields. The creaction of a bunch begins with the formation in an external magnetic field of a thin ring of relativistic electrons (major radius of the ring is R, minor radius is a) where storage of ionized atoms oc- curs. The storage process has been discussed [2-4]. During storage, bremsstrahlung from the electrons arises through electron collisions with atoms and ions, and this bremsstrahlung can be used for bunch diagnostics. The bremsstrahlung from a relativistic electron in an atomic nucleus is essentially anisotropic. For y ? 1 (y is the electron relativistic factor in the bunch at rest), almost all the radiation is concentrated in a small solid angle Q = 47r sin2(0/2), where 9/2 = 1/y is the angle between the photon direction of propagation and the tangent to the trajectory at the point of radiation [5]. The average number N of photons with energies e = hv/mc2 eo emitted by the ring per unit time into an angle A, within which the "illuminated" portion of the radiation detector is seen, is determined by the expression zo 4rt dN = E dc,,D (Zo, e') cbQ E nzozieR dt Zo z=o E0 (lc sin2 (1) \ where (I)(Zo, c) is the cross section for emission of photons with energies in \ \ \ the range c, e + dc from a nucleus of charge Zo, nzoz is the concentration of >. heavy particles (Zo is the nuclear charge and Z is the ionic charge), and je is the electron current density in the ring.

The number of photons detected during the time of storage depends on the spectral sensitivity of the detector and the detection efficiency. For bunch diagnostics, one can use a germanium?lithium detector, for which the maximum spectral sensitivity is in the photon energy range 0.1-1.0 MeV, and the detection efficiency is a few tens of percent with an energy resolution of ?2%. The frequency of electron synchrotron radiation, which forms the background in these measurements, is many orders of magnitude less than that of the,ra- diation detected. By measuring the radiation intensity, one can determine the total concentration of heavy particles in the ring with an accuracy of a few percent. 1246 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Figure 3 shows the number of photons in the energy range mentioned reaching the detector during storage of xenon (Zo = 54) (broken down into intervals At = 10-5 sec). This data indicates that one can study the process of xenon storage in bunches having electron numbers Ne 3. 1012. The study of ions formed from diatomic gases, particularly protons, requires special consideration. Nevertheless, one can assume that in a bunch with Ne = 1014, the observation of proton storage is feasible if the concentration of hydrogen molecules in the region of the bunch is roughly two orders of magnitude greater than the concentration of residual gas molecules. We note in conclusion that the proposed diagnostic technique also allows one to determine the total number of electrons in a ring since the initial concentration of heavy particles is known.

S. Ivanov, A. A. Kuzimin, UDC 621.384.6 and G. F. Senatorov In the adjustment and use of proton synchrotrons it is essential to be in possession of adequate in- formation regarding the frequency of the betatron oscillations during the whole cycle of acceleration. Usually at the beginning of the cycle one encounters intrinsic coherent oscillations of the center of gravity of the beam of accelerated protons, due to the nonzero initial conditions prevailing on injection; however, the period of their "coherence," which is mainly determined by the distribution function of the particles in the beam with respect to the betatron-oscillation frequencies, is not very long. For example, in the case of the 70 GeV accelerator of the Institute of High-Energy Physics, under normal operating con- ditions the period of coherence is no longer than 3 to 5 ?sec. In order to measure the frequencies of the betatron oscillations throughout the whole acceleration cycle, the oscillations must first be excited [1]. In this paper we shall consider one of the methods of exciting coherent radial betatron oscillations. The method is of the resonance type; however, in contrast to the method described earlier [2], the periodic stimulating force varies the longitudinal rather than the transverse momentum of the center of gravity of the beam. It is well known [3] that the radial betatron oscillations of a particle with a momentum differing from the equilibrium value are described by the equation 30f0 d2x Sp dt2 +Q2w2x ---=(?2r?-"-p Fig. 1.

The most interesting case is that in which m is the closest whole number to the frequency of the betatron oscillations Q. This corresponds to the lowest modulation frequency, and it constitutes an important factor, since the accelerating stages are quite narrow-banded Qr (the band width of the accelerating stages in the Institute's 9,84 synchrotron is of the order of 80 to 100 kc/sec). 9,8 I. - 9,76 .9 6 2 4 16 8 ;0 /5 20 9,72 30 t, msec Fig. 2.

The voltage frorn a master generator with a frequency of 30fo (f0 being the frequency of rotation of the particles) is fed to a frequency divider, which divides this frequency by a whole number n (n may vary in unit steps from 67 to 300). The signal at a frequency of 30f0/n is amplified, passes through a timer-con- trolled key, and is applied to the grid of the output tube of the accelerating stage, as a result of which the amplitude of the accelerating voltage is modulated. The measuring system is also controlled by a timer and contains low-frequency filters considerably increasing its sensitivity. An oscillograph incorporating a memory enables information relating to the betatron oscillations to be analyzed directly from the screen; alternatively, the processes may be photographed and analyzed later. Our experiments enabled us to measure the frequency of the radial betatron oscillations and also to establish the relationship between the radial and vertical oscillations at individual points of the cycle up to energies of the order of 2 GeV. For energies greater than 2 GeV the betatron oscillations of the beam could not be increased to amplitudes sufficient to allow accurate measurement (-0.5 mm) using only one accelerating stage. Figure 2 shows the experimental time dependence of the betatron-oscillation frequency in the acceler- ating cycle. This relationship may be varied by adjusting the accelerator. Figures 3a and b present photographs of two oscillograms obtained when studying the development of betatron oscillations. The upper oscillograph beam represents the excitation of the radial oscillations and the lower beam represents that of the vertical oscillations arising from the coupling between the radial and vertical oscillations of the beam. The processes give the appearance of passing through resonance, and in Fig. 3b (corresponding to a faster sweep) we see how the energy is transferred from one form of oscilla- tion to the other. These results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method of exciting radial betatron oscilla- tions at low energies. The use of this method requires no special excitation apparatus and hence demands . no space for locating such apparatus in the accelerator ring. In conclusion, the authors wish to thank V. E. Pisarevskii, A. M. Gudkov, and V. P.Ustinov for help in the experiments. LITERATURE CITED 1. V. A.Uvarov and G. F. Senatorov, Pribory i Tekh.Eksperim., No.6, 20 (1968). 2. A. A. Kolomenskii and A. N.

A. Andreev An international symposium on modern electric power generating stations was held in Liege (Belgium) in May 1970, and attracted over 500 specialists from 22 countries. A total of 52 papers was presented at this symposium, dealing the design, fabrication, investigation, adjustment, and operation of heat process equipment and electromechanical equipment for modern electric power stations. Topics covered in the papers ranged over: nuclear-fueled electric power stations, gas turbine plants and gas turbines, hydroelec- tric power stations, and electric power generating stations burning fossil fuels. Attention was centered on nuclear power at this symposium; topics focused upon were equipment and operating experience, in relation to nuclear power stations based on different types of reactors, with a large number of papers taking up these questions and provoking a lively discussion. Equally close attention was given to the urgent problems of reliability and efficient use of the basic power equipment in modern nuclear power stations with water-cooled reactors and above all water-moderated water-cooled reactors (reactors, steam generators, steam turbines, and circulating pumps). The outlook for nuclear power development and forecasts projecting into the future of nuclear power were discussed to a lesser extent. Awareness of the damage suffered by the thermal shielding in reactors similar in design to the American Westinghouse Corp. reactors (e.g., the damage to the SENA Franco?Belgian power station re- actor) lent added interest to a report on experience in the adjustment and startup of the Obrigheim (West Germany) power station. The first full-scale tests of an unloaded reactor to probe into temperature and fluid dynamic condi- tions brought on severe vibrations in the thermal shielding because of the impact of the stream of water. These vibrations resulted in severe damage to the surfaces of the reactor pressure vessel, on which the thermal shielding, 28 tons in weight, rested freely. After trying out several variants in fastening the shield- ing structures which failed to pay off, even after over 1500 h of testing, a reliable design was worked out which was checked out again after fuel had been loaded in. A special feature of this successful design vari- ant is seen in the six support brackets with welded-on retaining vertical backup plates to which the thermal shielding is pinned. This mode of fastening allows free radial and axial temperature expansion of the shielding while holding it rigidly fast against any rotational displacements. Another source of malfunction and misalignment in the performance of the power station was the ex- cessively high moisture content of the steam feed to the turbine, as a result of the unsuccessful design of the first and second stages of the steam separator. Attempts to cope with this led to working out a new de- sign of the separator first stage on full-scale models, with a horizontal cyclone, and using thin moisture traps manufactured by the Peerless firm as the second separator stage. The separation system thereafter brought about a moisture content of not more than 0.25% in the steam under the entire range of operating conditions of the nuclear power station. Because of the excessive amount of wear on the seals, malfunctions of the main circulation pumps were also reported; the rapid wear on ring seals made of tungsten carbide is accounted for by the high boron content in the primary coolant. A satisfactory solution was found through the use of ring seals coated with chromium oxide. It is interesting to note that computer process monitoring of the operation of the Obrigheim nuclear power station, using the Siemens-305 computer, shows much promise, with 450 analog variables monitored and ?2200 binary signals processed.

Since the com- monly encountered water treatment systems using ion exchange, degassing, and evaporation equipment fail to provide efficient filtration of active corrosion products, it was proposed that the problem be solved through recourse to special mechanical filters. A report presented by the Belgian concern Cocril?Ugrais ?Providence made a convincing demonstra- tion of the advantages of upright steam generators; data on the advantages of inconel as a material in the fabrication of steam generators, instead of the stainless steel AJSJ-316, were also presented. Some of the reports dealt with improved design of water-cooled water-moderated reactors, and their operation. Most of the authors of reports analyzing reasons for breakdown of heat processing and transfer machinery at nuclear power stations, reach the unanimous conclusion that the overwhelming majority of failures are due to insufficient knowledge of hydrodynamical phenomena, which are responsible for damaging vibrations, generatedunder certain sets of operating conditions. Work is now underway everywhere on devel- oping means and techniques for keeping a check on vibrations executed by the internal components of re- actors and steam generators. Lowering capital costs and improving the reliability of power station equipment are of vital signif- icance in efforts to achieve economically competitive nuclear power. This explains the very serious atten- tion being given to the building of more powerful high-efficiency and highly reliable steam turbines for nu- clear power stations. Many of the papers presented by leading turbomachinery manufacturing concerns in france, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, the USA, and Switzerland dealt with the design and fabrication of low-speed turbines with extremely high specific power ratings, development and improvements in the de- sign and fabrication of blading for the last stages of turbomachinery (TsND blading) of critically extended blade length, general principles in the design of steam turbines for nuclear power stations, designs of last stages, operating experience, and unitization and typization principles in the standardization of turboma- chinery. Most of the firms view the use of low-speed turbines (in the 1800 rpm or 1500 rpm speed range) as correct for nuclear power stations, but justify this solely in terms of cost considerations, without bringing into question the reliability of modern high-speed turbines. Maximum interest was evoked by a report sub- mitted by the Czechoslovak Skoda works, containing extremely valuable information on the characteristics of the exhaust stages of turbines with blades extending to 1000 mm in length, and with turbine runner speeds up to 3000 rpm, depending on the choice of structural material and on the selection of blade fastening ar- rangement. Results of an investigation of anticorrosion coatings for long blades designed for service in wet steam, and designs of stator guide blading with suction drainage slits, are presented. Methods for elimi- nating dangerous vibrations of turbine blades are described. Valuable experience in coping with and overcoming defects in turbomachinery is communicated in a report devoted to a description of startup operations at the Gundremingen nuclear power station (in West Germany) centered around a 237 MW boiling-water reactor. Repeated failures and fractures of turbine blades in the first stages of a cylinder of an AEG turbine at 1500 rpm resulted in repeated breakdown of power station operations, with downtime lasting over nine months. The reason for the damage lay in pulsa- tions of the stream of steam deriving from uneven moisture distribution in the piping leading to the TsND (the existence of zones with moisture content as high as 12% when the average moisture content only reached 1%). The introduction of changes in the design of the feed pipe connection brought about more uni- form distribution of steam moisture; the design of the blade shanks in the first stages and runner disks of TsND. A report on heavy-water power reactors which presented Canadian experience in this area in a sys- tematic manner evoked considerable interest as did a report on high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. The French EdF concern, in a report shedding light on five years of operating history of basic heat exchangers, drew the inference that the use of heat-transfer surfaces of complex configuration is not jus- tified, because of difficulties in inspection and removal of flaws, and that efforts should rather be directed to the design of simpler heat exchangers (specifically, smooth-tube exchangers are recommended). The design of a Japanese experimental fast reactor with a power output rating of 50 MW(e) was also of some interest. 1252 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 JUNE 1970 PRINCETON SYMPOSIUM ON PLASMA STABILIZATION BY FEEDBACK AND DYNAMICAL TECHNIQUES D. A. Panov The extensive development undergone by research on methods for suppressing plasma instabilities by feedback systems or by dynamic stabilization provided the basis for convening a symposium, organized under the sponsorship of the Plasma Physics Laboratory of Princeton University, at Princeton (USA) in June, 1970. The symposium drew participation from scientists of Britain, Italy, Norway, the Soviet Union, France, and West Germany. Forty-eight papers were presented at the sessions of the symposium. The work done by V. V. Arsenin and V. A. Chuyanov, and published in 1968 [1], has provided a stimulus for developing research on feedback stabilization of plasma, and has furnished a basis for successful experi- ments on suppressing flute instabilities in the plasma in the magnetic trap of the OGRA-2 thermonuclear fusion machine [2]. The use of a feedback system to stabilize plasma instabilities was first proposed by A.I.Morozov and L. S.Solov'ev in 1964 [3]. Work on plasma stabilization by feedback systems, as presented and discussed at the symposium, touched on many questions ranging from classification of the stabilization mechanisms to the use of feed- back in the study of specific modes of instability. J. Taylor and C. Lashmore-Davis (Britain) showed that relevant feedback systems can be subdivided into two types, active and reactive, depending on the modes of instability to be suppressed. Instabilities of the interchange type, characterized by negative or positive energy of oscillation, belong to the first category. The signal has to be phase-shifted ?90? in order to suppress such instabilities in a feedback system. The choice of sign depends on the sign of the energy of oscillation. Instabilities of the interchange type charac- terized by zero energy of oscillation being in the second category. The conclusion is that the allowable phase shift for the stabilization of such stabilities is either 0? or 180?. Most of the experimental papers presented at the symposium onthe subject of feedback dealt with ac- tive plasma stabilization techniques. In those cases, it is possible to write out the dispersion equation with the effect of the feedback loop taken into account, and to derive a theoretical dependence of the shift in the real part of the frequency, of the size of the increment, and of the displacement of the instability thresh- old, on the gain and on the phase shift in the feedback loop. An excellent concordance between measured dependences and theoretically predicted dependences was demonstrated. The most typical results of that sort are to be found in the papers submitted by T. Symonen (USA) and D. Jessby et al. (USA); these experi- ments were conducted with alkali plasma generated in Q-machines. Similar results were communicated in a report by B. Anker-Johnson et al. (USA). A paper submitted by V. A. Zhil'tsov et al. (USSR) demonstrated that when a surface of finite conduc- tivity is placed parallel to the boundary of a plasma, energy absorption in that surface due to the flowing of induced currents in the surface will be greater, under optimized conditions, than the rate of increase in the energy associated with unstable ion-cyclotron oscillations. At the same time, attenuation greater than the instability growth rate is introduced into the plasma. The feedback loop will behave, at a certain phase shift, like a surface of finite conductivity. Results of experiments on the suppression of an ion-cyclotron instability in the plasma in the magnetic trap of the OGRA-2 thermonuclear machine were reported. In most of the earlier experiments on suppression of instabilities by feedback, the control components used were electrodes placed outside the plasma, or Langmuir probes immersed in the plasma. For under- standable reasons, neither of these approaches is applicable to the case of a dense high-temperature plasma.

Reports by A. Huang et al. (USA) put forth results of successful suppression of a trapping instability in an alkali plasma by microwave radiation at the upper hybrid frequency (^.10 GHz) modulated by the feedback loop signal. A report by F. Cheng (USA) drew atten- tion to the fact that direct utilization of microwave radiators to set up a contactless feedback loop is fraught with difficulties in the case of a thermonuclear plasma. To cope with the problem, he suggested recourse to a system of a pair of CO2 gas lasers situated in a such a way that the nonlinear interaction between the two infrared laser rays would produce a difference frequency equal to the upper hybrid frequency of the plasma. According to the estimates cited in the paper, the laser power output required to seriously affect plasma oscillations is well within reasonable limits. In the papers referred to above, as well as others submitted at the symposium, it was demonstrated that the mechanism underlying active suppression of plasma instabilities characterized by either positive or negative energy has been given sufficient study, as evidenced by the excellent agreement between theo- retical calculations and experimental findings. The experiments and theory of reactive feedback stabilization of plasma were presented in far less generous volume. Only the reports by V. A. Chuyanov (USSR) and E. Murphy (Britain) gave information on experiments dealing with stabilization of instabilities of that type, specifically flute instability of a plasma in a magnetic field of a simple mirror configuration. A single-electrode feedback loop has been used suc- cessfully in stabilizing the first mode of the plasma flute instability. But the suppression of flute instabili- ties of the first mode is accompanied by a buildup of oscillations at other frequencies determined by the characteristics of the feedback loop. Plasma losses accompanying the activation of the feedback loop are smaller. In a theoretical paper, C. Lashmore-Davis (Britain) posed the question of the optimum frequency response of a feedback loop for stabilizing a flute instability. But no satisfactory solution of this problem meeting practical needs has been found. Practically all of the work described in the experimental papers was done with the aid of a single feed- back loop. A model of homogeneous boundary conditions was used, however, in the theoretical analysis of the problem. The validity of the use of such a model was the subject of a paper, by J. Crowley (USA). The example of a six-pole feedback loop designed to suppress plasma flute instabilities was brought up to show that all modes of flute instability below the sixth mode can be suppressed provided the loop gain is above a certain critical value. But flute oscillations with a mode number of seven or higher continue to build up, even if the plasma density has not reached the level at which these oscillations become unstable when the feedback loop is switched off. Some of the reports presented results of a theoretical analysis of the feasibility of suppressing Kru- skal?Shafranov instabilities in Tokamak type systems. A paper by J. Clarke and R. Dorey (USA) solved the problem of stabilizing a corkscrew instability in a pinch, and showed that currents stabilized by a feedback loop in a surface enveloping a plasma are capable of stabilizing unstable modes of oscillation which have no radial modes. Practical realization of a system of that type would require first that some complicated engineering problems be solved. G. Furth (USA) presented a brief review of problems pertaining to the use of feedback loops to stabilize plasma instabilities in Tokamak machines. Among the other problems con- sidered was the possibility of controlling currents in loops replacing the copper liner of Tokamak facilities by a feedback system. The removal of the copper liner would open the way for using magnetic compression in order to heat up the plasma more effectively. Several theoretical papers dealt with the possible use of feedback where the feedback system is ac- tivated only for very brief time intervals, to match signals from transducers recording displacements of the plasma surface. Analysis of systems of the type described revealed that the difficulties attendant upon stabilization of interchange instabilities by a linear feedback loophave been overcome to an appreciable ex- tent. This problem was discussed in greatest detail in application to stabilization of plasma in Tokamak type facilities, in a paper submitted by A. Milner (USA). The use of high-frequency fields to stabilize plasma instabilities has been the object of research for a fairly protracted period. This problem appears to have been tackled for the first time by S. M. Osovets (USSR) back in 1957 [4]. Further development of this work can be traced in contributions of a theoretical nature by Ya. B. Fainberg, V. D. Shapiro, V. P. Silin, L. I. Rudakov, and A. A. Ivanov (USSR), J. Teichman (Czechoslovakia), and other authors as well. 1254 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 The problems touched upon in most of the theoretical reports presented at the symposium involve improvements and refinements on work done earlier, or finding stabilization conditions applicable to spec- ific experiments. Of greatest interest in this context was a theoretical report by A. A. Ivanov and V. F. Murav'ev (USSR) which demonstrated that the ordinary wave and the helicon mode are capable of suppress- ing electrostatic instabilities such that kz ? k, whenever the frequency of the mode excited is much higher than the frequency of the instability. The example of a cone instability was brought up to show that recourse to a helicon type mode is preferable, since the amplitude of the magnetic field on the wave in this case will have to be lower. There was great interest shown in a paper by M. Alcock and B. Keen (Britain) citing results on sup- pression of a drift-dissipative instability in the plasma of the positive column of a discharge in helium and in hydrogen, by means of a high-frequency azimuthal magnetic field. The natural frequency of the unstable oscillations is 4 kHz. The frequency of the azimuthal magnetic field was varied over the range from 8 to 100 kHz. It was shown that the instability became suppressed, in harmony with the theory expounded by A. A. Ivanov and J. Teichman, when the amplitude of the variable field came to ?1% of the amplitude of the constant longitudinal field. Suppression of the drift (trapping) instability by means of a high-frequency electric field with a fre- quency higher than the ion plasma frequency was demonstrated in a report presented by the Japanese sci- entists Y. Nishida et al. The experiments were carried out using the plasma of a gas discharge struck in helium, at a particle density of 2 ? 109 to 5 ? 1010 cm-3. Sausage type instabilities and helical instability in the hole plasma of indium?antimony semiconductors placed in a magnetic field were suppressed with the aid of an HF field established by quadrupole conductors such as Ioffe rodlets. The results of this work were presented in a paper by A. Anker-Johnson (USA). The audience also showed keen interest in a report by G. Wolf (West Germany) which made available the results of work on dynamical stabilization of a Rayleigh?Taylor instability in a heavy fluid above a light fluid. High-frequency mechanical oscillations were impressed on the system in a direction parallel to the interface separating the two liquid phases. While these mechanical vibrations were acting, the time over which equilibrium of the heavy fluid over the lighter fluid was maintained was stretched to 104 times the length of time in which large-scale instability ensued with the stabilization system deactivated. The feasibility of stabilizing instabilities by impressing the high-frequency component of a longitu- dinal magnetic field was studied in experimental papers presented by G. Becker et al. (West Germany) and J. Phillips (USA). The feasibility of stabilizing an instability with the aid of the high-frequency field of a linear quadrupole was also investigated, in the case of a Z-pinch. In both cases particle suppression of the instabilities was achieved. On the whole, the papers presented at the symposium constitute a valuable contribution to the further development of research on methods for stabilization of plasma by systems using feedback and HF fields. The promising possibilities of these methods were demonstrated in the study of specific instabilities, and avenues open for utilizing these methods in future controlled thermonuclear fusion research were pointed out. The proceedings of the conference are to be published as a separate edition. LITERATURE CITED 1. V. V.Arsenin and V. A. Chuyanov, Dokl.Akad.Nauk SSSR, 180, 5 (1968). 2. V.V.Arsenin, V.A.

Maiorov A symposium on nondestructive testing equipment and techniques using nuclear radiations was held at Zakopane (Poland) in June, 1970. Participating in this symposium were specialists from member-na- tions of COMECON, and 25 reports were presented and discussed. Z. Pawlowski (Poland) delivered a review report, which pointed out that impressive advances may be expected in the area of automation of radiographic, radiometric, and radio spectroscopic inspection work. Attention was centered on the need to develop a method for determining the critical dimensions of flaws in a variety of structural elements, and studying the effect of critical flaw dimension on the strength of the structure inspected. E. Becker (East Germany), presenting a historical survey of the development of radiography over the past half-decade, voiced the suggestion that it will be difficult to expect any radical improvements in this method in the immediate future. L. Brunarski et al: (Poland) and A. N. Maiorov (USSR) devoted their re- ports to optimization of radiographic conditions, which stimulated deep interest in those attending the sym- posium, who acknowledged the need to develop a unified procedure and unified recommendations in this area of work. In a joint report by Polish and USSR specialists, L. Brunarski, L. M. Serebrennikov, et al. expounded the fundamentals of supervision of the use of radiographic quality control work applied to concrete and re- inforced concrete structures. A list was drawn up of the equipment needed in the radiographic inspection of concrete, the general technical conditions to be observed in testing work, procedures for measuring the thickness of concrete, the diameter of reinforcing rods and wires and the depth to which they are laid in the concrete, detection of internal voids, and basic points in safety practice in the testing of structural mem- bers V. G. Firstov et al. (USSR) reviewed the present level of work in the area of xeroradiography, and cited data on the PKR-1, ERGA-S, EGU-6m, KS-1 xeroradiographic machines manufactured in the Soviet Union. The characteristics of similar machines manufactured in the USA, Britain, and Japan were sur- veyed at the same time. E. Gusew (Poland) reported on xeroradiographic equipment manufactured by the Lodz xerography factory. It was reported that the Pyloris (KS-2 and KS-4) xeroradiographic machines de- veloped by the Electrical Engineering Institute, with their stagewise methods of image development, are being used in industrial inspection work in the Polish Peoples Republic. Even today, the level attained in the development of techniques has opened the way clear for the use of xeroradiography in nondestructive testing work. Z. Godlewski and B. Kaminski (Poland) reported results of work done at the Electrical Engineering Institute; there radiometric flaw detection instruments have been developed for the inspection of active specimens, tungsten nozzles, refractory materials, and carbon blocks. The sources used in these instru- ments are Co", Cs137, Ir192, Tm170, and Am241. Information was cited on the development of radiometric flaw detection instruments in East Germany for inspection of steel plate, and for inspection of tubes and tanks in Japan, as well as instruments for inspection of rolled goods at metallurgical plants in France and in West Germany, and joint development of radiometric flaw detection instrumentation for inspection of steel blooms by Czechoslovak and Polish industry.

G. Firstov et al. analyzed the feasibility of applying radiometric flaw detection tech- niques to nondestructive testing andinspection of blooms in the rolling process, to centrifugally cast tubing in mass production, and to unreinforced welded seams Spectrometric, spectrometric-count, and collima- tion-spectrometric procedures in radiometric flaw detection work were discussed, and a procedure was worked out for calculating sensitivity and productivity in inspection work, illustrated by graphs of the de- pendence of inspection productivity on the minimum dimensions of flaws to be discerned and on the dimen- sions of the collimation hole. Despite the successes attained in experimental and theoretical research on methods of radiometric flaw detection, to date we still lack quantity-produced equipment to carry out this work on a routine scale in industry, and this is accounted for by the lack of highly efficient radiation detectors, a lack of high-speed electronic equipment featuring small instrument fluctuations and excellent sensitivity to insignificant changes in the signal arriving for processing, and a lack of low-energy sharply focused sources of high specific activity which might contribute to improved resolution and greater productivity at the same time. Visual methods of nondestructive testing and inspection were discussed at the symposium in reports delivered by J. Ginsztler, "Visual methods of inspection in industrial radiography," and J. Sorm (CSSR), "Application of an image brightness intensifier in inspection of castings." The Czechoslovak "Tesla" firm has now achieved industrial-scale production of the 03QA41, 040QA41, and 05QA41 type electronic image converter tubes with tube dimensions ranging from 175 to 289 mm, which can be used profitably in visual monitoring and inspection arrangements. The observed trend of development of visual techniques shows that further improvements in radioscopy (radiographic flaw detection work) will be impossible either in the field of new developments or in the area of incorporating existing advanced equipment in regular inspec- tion practice, without first developing the instruments and equipment needed to eliminate the subjective fact in assessments of flaws, and thereby opening the way to proceed ahead to automatic computing of all the re- lated data. To a lesser extent this will obtain to its application in the location and classification of flaws in parts. A report by A. Jedziewski (Poland) provided a description of the Polish IP-8, IP-25, CP-1, and CP-10 type hose-attachment y-ray flaw detection instruments with pneumatic feed of TH192 and Con radiation sources to the irradiation target up to distances of 30 m. These sets use lead shielding. At the present time, a modified variant of these y-ray flaw detection instruments using uranium shielding is under develop- ment. These sets are intended mainly for use in production shops where assembly and rigging of outsize equipment and structures are handled. Four types of Polish flaw-detection equipment were demonstrated at an exhibit set up at the symposium; also demonstrated were two negative viewers for decoding radio- graphic images with photographic density up to three and up to five. The first type of negative viewer has a rectangular light field controlled by adjusting blinds, and a photocell for excluding light, while the second type of negative viewer has a diaphragm-controlled circular field. R. Dubenski (CSSR), in his report "Stereoscopic viewer for x-ray plates," discussed a stereoscope for simultaneous viewing of two radiographic images made by the method of lead markers. The prere- quisite for working with the stereoscope is unimpaired vision and space perception ability on the part of the operator. The report also provides a description of a stereoscope relying on the principle of polariza- tion of light; the operator dons polarized eyeglasses, and the radiographic images are projected onto a screen with a metallized silver coating. In addition, a stereoscopic negative viewer in which a mirror sys- tem is used to combine and transpose the images is described. These instruments were developed at the Higher Technical School in Prague, and are used to pinpoint the location of flaws in radiographed products. V. N. Khoroshev et al. (USSR) provided information on completed development work on y-ray nonde- structive testing instruments in the COMECON normal classification RID-11, RID-21, RID-22, and (RID-32), on sets of equipment for irradiation of piping and tanks of large diameter (the Gazprom, Trassa, and Neva sets), specialized equipment for frontal transmission (the Stape11-5 and Stapele-20), and hose-attachment automated y-ray nondestructive testing instruments (the Labirint and the Kama). A report by W. Listwan and M. Dobrowolsk (Poland) presented results of joint research and develop- ment work of Polish and Czechoslovak specialists on radiometric equipment for inspecting communications cables and piping while these are in service. The method is based onthe introduction of radioactive tracers with a short half-life into the piping, through which various gases of petrochemicals, etc., are pumped, the concentrations of these tracers in the medium surrounding the piping and subsequent detection of the affec- ted portion of piping by means of a radiometric instrument inserted into the piping and moving through the 1257 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 'nterior of the piping under the pressure of the gas or liquid being pumped through. The method has been tested and has been accepted on an experimental production basis in the Czechoslovak and Polish sections of the Druzhba international pipeline, as well as on other gas pipelines. A report by N. D. Tyufyakov et al. (USSR) cited results of research work on neutron radiography, going in particular into a detailed discussion of neutron sources, the dependences of slow-neutron beam charac- teristics on beam shaping conditions, and production of beams with optimized properties; the paper also covers determinations of neutron scattering factors, inspection sensitivity, nomograms of exposures for use with detectors of neutron images that have been developed, and goes into a discussion of the range of applicability and convenience of the method. A. Petrov (Bulgaria) cited information on the joint development, in the USSR and Bulgaria, of lightweight transportable flaw-detection laboratories designed for mounting on the UAZ microbus, and the medium weight type laboratory designed for mounting on a large panel truck, and equipped with a set of varied flaw detection equipment. Several of the reports were devoted to the present utilization, and outlook for future utilization, of radioisotope, x-ray, and betatron nondestructive testing equipment and techniques in construction, boiler manufacture, aviation, foundry work, and in other branches of industry in the member-nations of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid (COMECON). 1258 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 THE SATURN-1 PLASMA MACHINE V. A. Suprunenko The Saturn-1 toroidal triple-loop stellarator for plasma research was commissioned at the Kharikov Physicotechnical Institute in the first half of 1970. The distinguishing feature of this plasma machine is its capability of operating in two modes: the stellarator mode and the torsatron mode. In the first mode, magnetic surfaces with large and controlled "shear" values (.50.15) and a rotational transform angle of the lines of force (.5.1.3 r) are established in the effective volume of the machine. In the second mode, surfaces with "shear" (-0.1) and with a "magnetic potential well" (-10%) are established. The maximum intensity of the longitudinal magnetic field in the quasistationary mode attains the level of 10 k0e. The inner diameter of the vacuum chamber is ?170 mm. The first results of research on the magnetic surfaces revealed excellent agreement with theoretically predicted parameters, as clear evidence of the high precision with which the magnetic trap was fabricated.

V. Sannikov From February through December 1969, an experiment designed for determining the electron tem- perature and density of a plasma, and also to determine the radial distribution of the plasma pinch by the method of Thomson scattering of laser emission, has been staged by a team of physicists from Culham Laboratory, including Drs. N. D. Peacock, D.C. Robinson, P. D. Wilcock, and M.D. Forrest, in collaboration with colleagues of the I. V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy (IAE), at that latter institute. This method, in contrast to those used earlier, made it possible to measure the electron temperature and density of the plasma directly. British equipment was installed on the Tokamak T-3 plasma machine (large radius 1 m, small radius 25 cm, diaphragm radius 17.5 cm). With the plasma parameters of this machine Te ? 102 to 2 ? 103 eV, ne ? 1013 to 5 ? 1013 cm3, the Sal- peter coefficient a = X0/4/rADsin0/2 ? 1, where A = 6943 A; AD is the Debye radius; 0 is the scattering angle (0 = 90?). The case of scattering on free electrons was realized here. The scattered radiation spec- trum is described by a Gaussian curve, with a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities assumed. A beam of light with a divergence of 2.5 mrad was directed from a ruby laser operated in the giant pulse mode, with radiation energy 5 J and pulse duration 20 to 30 msec, through the plasma pinch diametral- ly. Radiation scattered at 90? was recorded from a plasma volume of 1 cm3 by means of collimating optics and a wide-aperture spectrograph with a ten-channel photoelectric system for recording the spectrum. The spectral width of each channel was 78 A. Half the Gaussian curve was taken from the shortward end of the spectrum, from the laser emission line 6943 A. The spectrum was recorded in a single current pulse simultaneously on all the channels. The intensity of the hydrogen line Ha was measured in one of the channels. The electron concentration in the plasma was estimated from the ratio of the absolute values of the energy of the scattered light and the energy of laser emission. A special periscopic viewing system was set up so as to obtain the radial temperature distribution and radial distribution of electron density in the plasma. The distribution of concentration was recorded at the same time by a multichord two-millimeter interferometer. Data on density obtained with the laser and with the microwave interferometer were in close agreement. The measured electron temperature of the plasma ranged from 100 to 2000 eV, depending on the dis- charge conditions. The plasma concentration ranged from 1013 to 4.5 ? 1013 cm-3, while the current ranged from 40 to 150 kA, and the intensity of the longitudinal magnetic field from 17 to 38 k0e. It is to be noted that the experimental data points fit closely to the theoretical Gaussian curve, with- in the limits of error of the measurements. This might mean that a Maxwellian distribution of electron energies prevails in this instance. The electron temperature increases to a maximum in 12 msec, and re- mains practically constant until the discharge current has died away completely. The radial temperature distribution and radial electron density distribution are sufficiently flat near the axis of the pinch, and diminish monotonically toward the periphery of the pinch. The temperature in- creases as the discharge current, roughly in obedience to the law 12 (dependences were taken at current pulse widths of 35 and 70 msec), and varies inversely with the plasma density.

The experiment was performed under conditions featuring high anomalous resistance presented by the plasma. The plasma temperature as calculated on the basis of conductivity in all the sets of conditions investigated is lower than the temperature measured with the laser, and varies slightly over the current pulse. It amounts to 100-200 eV, depending on the operating conditions. The electron temperature distribution was measured every 4 msec after the onset of current under various sets of conditions, giving some indication of slight "skinning" of the temperature near the edge of the pinch, but no clearcut "skinning" effect was obtained in later experiments, since measurements earlier in time were impossible on account of the high level of the plasma's intrinsic radiation, while measure- ments taken later than 4 msec yielded a flat distribution near the axis. The rapid levelling off of tempera- tures is an indication that the electron thermal conductivity of the plasma is well above the classical value. The particle lifetime found from measurements of the absolute intensity of the Ha line was 15 to 20 msec, and was longer than the energy-derived plasma lifetime of 5 msec. Data on the radial distribution of the temperature and electron density of the plasma were utilized in computing the transverse energy of the plasma as a function of the time. The transverse component of the energy was determined simultaneously from the diamagnetic effect of the plasma. The energies mea- sured by these two independent techniques were found to be in satisfactorily close agreement. Note that the data on plasma parameters obtained by the method of laser scattering confirmed the results obtained earlier by Soviet physicists relying on rival methods. LITERATURE CITED 1.

Biryukov An agreement on scientific and technical collaboration was signed at Dubna,in June 1970, between the State Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy [GKIAEJ and the international physics research center of the socialist countries, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research [JINR]. The purpose of this agree- ment is to "contribute to the rounded all-sided development of scientific and technical collaboration between member-states of JINR by combining the efforts of JINR scientists and scientists working in GKIAE-super- vised institutes. ." The two parties signatory to the agreement state that they will "jointly develop sci- entific and technical collaboration in the field of nuclear physics, for the maximum and most efficacious utilization of accelerators, nuclear research reactors, equipment for experimental data processing, and other experimental and research facilities at their disposal, and will also devise new equipment for those purposes. . . ." Specific efforts will be undertaken and expedited on the basis of bilateral contracts or protocols con- cluded between JINR and institutes under GKIAE, to determine the scope, times, and conditions of this re- search. The contracting parties, in attainment of mutual agreement, agree to draw upon national or inter- national research organizations and other bodies in carrying out this joint work, and will observe the prin- ciples of reciprocity and take into account the interests of the parties involved. Institutes in member-na- tions of JINR engaged in collaboration with JINR and drawn into the overall scientific plans approved by JINR may also be included in the work carried out jointly by the two signatories. The agreement lays down the general obligations of the two contracting parties on establishing the prerequisite conditions for work on accelerators and other research facilities: the operation and servicing of the equipment, providing electric power, liquefield gases, tool shops, computer and data processing op- erations, making available the necessary scientific and technical information for this joint work, and so forth. GKIAE will assist JINR and the institutes preparing this joint research in the development and fabri- cation of experimental equipment needed. In line with the agreement signed, the contracting parties will sponsor annual meetings of their re- spective representatives and experts, for discussion of concrete problems in scientific and technical col- laboration. The agreement extends over a five-year period, and will be automatically extended another term of equal length, if neither of the two signatory parties voices an intention of terminating the agreement. The international juridical document signed at Dubna flows both in spirit and in content from the famous 1959 Moscow agreement on the organization of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and will serve the cause of further development of scientific and technical collaboration between the socialist coun- tries.

In a review report, V. V. Matveev discussed general topics concerning the development of complex dosimet- ric and radiometric systems, design of functional modules with unified dimensions, and characteristics of instruments developed at the All-Union Research Institute for Instrument Design. The participants at the seminar discussed various methods for calibrating dosimeters and radio- meters, requirements applicable to dosimetric inspection and checkout systems, design of dosimeters, whole-body spectrometers, etc. * * * An All-Republic seminar of workers in chemical plants was held in Kiev in June 1970 on the topic "Radioisotope techniques and instruments in the chemical industry of the Ukraine." The seminar participants reported that radioisotope techniques and instrumentation have been making their way in recent years in production use at advanced chemical processing plants such as the Severo-Do- nets Chemical Combine, and the Kaluga Chemical-Metallurgical Combine, where applications of radioiso- tope instruments are yielding impressive savings and improving working conditions. * * * A seminar was held in Moscow in June 1970 to expedite exchanges of experience in the operation of in-plant and base isotope laboratories, and the implementation and acceptance of new methods and radio- isotope techniques and equipment in industrial process monitoring. Participating in the seminar were 84 organizations and industrial plants under various ministries and departments, whose representatives re- ported that the national economy of the country has already been benefiting from applications of radioiso- tope techniques in terms of impressive savings, and that both base and in-plant isotope laboratories have had a positive effect on the acceptance of atomic science and engineering in industry. * * * A science-familiarization excursion organized for the benefit of specialists from developing countries with membership in IAEA and FAO took place from August 6 through August 31, 1970, under the joint aus- pices of the State Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy of the USSR [GKIAE] and the Ministry of Agriculture of the USSR, affording an opportunity for these specialists to be brought up to date on appli- cations of isotopes and radiations in agriculture in various locations throughout the Soviet Union. The group included scientists from Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ghana, India, Iran, Lebanon, Mexico, Pakistan, Philip- pines, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Thailand, the United Arab Republic, and Yugoslavia, as well as leading staff- members of both IAEA and FAO. One-day seminars at which lectures were delivered on applications of heavy water in soil and agro- chemical research, applications of techniques and equipment for radiation work in agriculture, the study of the transformation and use by plant life of nitrogenous fertilizers through the use of such isotopes as N15, P32, C14, etc., were organized in the course of the trip for the participants. The program included visits to Moscow-area scientific research institutes such as the V. V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute, the isotopes laboratory of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute for Electrifica- tion of Agriculture [VNIIESKh], the D. N. Pryanishnikov All-Union Scientific Research Institute for the study of Fertilizers and Agronomical Soil Science, the Institute of Genetics and Plant Selection of the Siberian Division of the USSR Academy of Sciences (in Novosibirsk), the Biology and Soil Science Department of Translated from Atomnaya Energiya, Vol.29, No. 6, p.476, December, 1970. o 1971 Consultants Bureau, a division of Plenum Publishing Corporation, 227 West 17th Street, New York, N.

[VASICINIL]. * * * An agreement between Sweden and the Soviet Union covering a thirty-year period of collaboration in the area of peaceful uses of atomic energy was concluded in September 1970. Agreement on signing this convention was reached in the course of a visit to Sweden by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, A. N. Kosygin, in the summer of 1968. Agreement envisions the possibility of both parties delivering and obtaining equipment, including nuclear reactors and fuels for nuclear reactors, nuclear materials, nuclear raw materials, and special nu- clear materials of commercial interest. The Soviet Union will provide services in enriching Swedish-ac- quireduranium at plants in the USSR. The practical realization of this collaboration will be spelled out in further agreements, protocols, or contracts. In accordance with the Treaty on nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, Sweden and the Soviet Union have decided to turn to IAEA with a request to carry out the provisions of the Treaty on inspection and con- trol of the utilization of nuclear materials and equipment delivered under the terms of this agreement. 1264 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 INDEX SOVIET ATOMIC ENERGY Volumes 28-29, 1970 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/09: CIA-RDP10-02196R000700060001-1 AUTHOR INDEX A Ado, Yu.

ALGEBRA AND LOGIC A cover-to-c'Over translation i of Algebra 1 kigika A publication of the Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Section of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Novosibirsk, SSR Editor-in-chief: M. I. Kargapolov Institute 'of Mathematics, Siberian Branch Academy of Sciences of the USSR Members of the Editorial Board: Yu. L. Ersh6v Yu. I. Merzlyakov A. I. Shirshov Translated from Russian A new Soviet journal which publishes, at bimonthly intervals, results of the latest re- search in the areas of modern general alge- ? bra and of logic considered primarily from an algebraic viewpoint. The algebraic pa- pers, constituting the major part of the con- tents, are concerned with studies in such fields as ordered, almost torsion-free, nilpo- ? tent, and metabelian .groups, isomorphism rings, Lie algebras, Frattini subgroups, and clusters of algebras. In the area of logic, the periodical covers such topics as hierarchical sets, logical automata, and recursive func- tiohs. As is the case with all Consultants Bureau journals, Algebra and Logic appears in Eng- lish translation only about six month's after publication of the Russian edition. Transla- tion began with the 1968 issues. .Contents of the first issue (Number 1, 1968): A. A. Akataev and D. M. Smirnov, Lattices of submani- - folds of manifolds of algebras ? G. F.
