Description

Recently evaluated neutron capture cross section data of 142143144145146150Nd, natural Nd and Mo as well as adjustment of the capture cross sections of 152154Sm to fit integral data measured in STEK and CFRMF are discussed. The progress made with preparations for the HFR-TOP transient overpower experiments on fuel pins under irradiation in the pool-side facility of the HFR is reported on. Results are given of tensile tests on irradiated as well as on heat-treated stainless steel DIN 1.4948 specimens subjected to varying numbers of fatigue cycles. In the field of aerosol research, measured gas flow rates and pressure drops in stainless steel capillaries of various dimensions are compared with theory; the gas flow and aerosol penetration in cracks, artificially introduced in concrete test specimens, have been determined. Criteria in selecting the right light-scattering particles for use in Laser Doppler Anemometer measurements are given; the results of single and two-phase experiments with the second 28-rod bundle and the hydrodynamics during single-bubble boiling in the first bundle are discussed.
