IMPACT EFFECT OF FRAGMENTS STRIKING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
Abstract
Equations were developed which permit a designer to evaluate the impact effect of a missile striking a structural element at high velocity. Examples of the use of the equations in calculations and comparisons of the relative effect of penetration on the equivalent static design load are included. Application to calculations of structural containnent for nuclear power plants is discussed briefly. (C. H.)

Response of basic structural elements and B-52 structural components to simulated nuclear overpressure. Volume II-program data (basic structural elements). Final report, 1 June 1977-30 September 1979
This document reports on the following: (1) experimental determination of the response of 16 basic structural elements and 7 B-52 components to simulated nuclear overpressure environments (utilizing Sandia Corporation's Thunderpipe Shock Tube), (2) analysis of these test specimens utilizing the NOVA-2 computer program, and (3) correlation of test and analysis results. -

DIFFUSION OF FISSION FRAGMENTS IN SLURRY FUEL ELEMENTS
In an earlier memo. (A.E.R.E. T/M 93) an estimate of a few microns diameter was given as the maximum size of slurry particle from which fission products could escape into the liquid phase. The system considered was UPb/sub 3/ solid- Pb liquid at 600 deg C. The assumption that the diffusion rates of fission products are not much change by irradiation is investigated in detail, and also some of the other assumptions previously made about the particle stability of the slurry are discussed. The results of the previous memo. are confirmed; the main effects of irradiation which cannot be predictedmore »
