The methods used in the study: experimental investigation of thermal treatment of irradiated graphite in gaseous environments using the samples of irradiated graphite and unbroken graphite elements of stack, which were taken out from stack of uranium-graphite nuclear reactors....
it had to bemeaningful. Adding the number of spheres in the first, second and third layer of spheres around a nucleus sphere (12 + 42 + 92) yields 146 spheres. This is the number of neutrons in the element uranium. Add 92 to 146 to yield 238, the number...
Parts of the atom Nucleus Consists of protons and neutrons Extremely dense If the nucleus of an atom was the size of a 1cm ball, it would weight 133,000,000 tons! Electron cloud Area outside the nucleus where the electrons orbit the nucleus Empty space If the nucleus was the size of go...

The new element was found when uranium, atomic number 92, was bombarded with neutrons; it is radioactive, with a half-period of about 13 minutes. This announcement would appear to be a sequel to the experiments reported by Prof. Fermi in NATUEE of May 19, p. 757, when he described ...
Fast Neutron Reactors.Unlike conventional reactors, FNRs allow neutrons to travel fast through the reaction chamber. This potentially increases the efficiency of fuel, and increases what the industry calls fuel "burn-up." Fuel lasts much longer in an FNR than it does in a conventional reactors. ...

The first few lectures are devoted to elementary atomic and nuclear physics, with emphasis on the energy bound in atoms, molecules and nuclei and on the possibilities of the release of this energy, and then the properties of neutrons and simple treatments of neutron thermalization are considered....
** Graphite is used to slow neutrons in epithermal designs, and deteriorates in a high neutron flux environment. The rate of damage increases with temperature, which is a particular problem with MSRs at 700°C. In liquid-fuel MSR designs the fission products dissolve in the fuel salt and ar...
It is evaluated that the use of radiogenic lead makes it possible to slow down the chain fission reaction on prompt neutrons in a fast reactor. This can increase safety of the fast reactors and reduce as well requirements pertaining to the fuel fabrication technology. Radiogenic lead with high ...
