LATTICE DEFORMATION FEASIBILITY STUDY.
Abstract
During the first quarter of the program a majority of the preliminary steps required before the actual start of neutron irradiation were accomplished. The Hazards Analysis Report was written and approved by the AGN Reactor Safeguards Committee. The pressure vessel design has been completed and hydrostatic testing of the main body showed a burst pressure higher than anticipated. In preparation for energy content and analytical measurements, the heat of solution Calorimeter was re-assembled and the electrical measurements circuits checked out. Reagent grade ammonium perchlorate was purchased and screened to separate out crystals in the 500 to 1000 micron size range for the radiation and calorimetry work. A portion of this sample was recrystallized for X-ray and microscopic studies. DTA and Bureau of Mines Impact tests have been run on the screened reagent sample for comparison with similar measurements to be run with irradiated samples later in the program.
