Application of radiation chemical processes in CTRs
Abstract
Fuel production by fusion reactors is discussed in terms of one of the following five processes: (1) direct application of heat, (2) multi-stage, low-temperature, chemical reactions, (3) electrolysis, (4) photolysis, and (5) radiolysis. A project at Princeton to produce fuels is described. Application of these processes to the different fusion machines is discussed. (MOW)

ANNUAL REPORT ON RADIATION OF FISH, OCTOBER 1961 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1962. PART I. APPLICATION OF RADIATION-PASTEURIZATION PROCESSES TO PACIFIC CRAB AND FLOUNDER. PART II. EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ON LIPIDS OF FISH
Radiation processing increased the refrigerated storage life of crab meat and sole fillets from 2 to 6 times that of untreated samples. The use of antioxidants or a nitrogen pack to minimize the development of off flavor was investigated. Procedures were developed for determining total bacteria, yeasts, and molds on crab meat. Data are included from a study of the effects of gamma radiation on fish lipids. (C.H.) -
THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DIRECT APPLICATION OF FISSION RECOIL FRAGMENT ENERGY TO INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL PROCESSES
BS>The relationships between the reactor parameters, such as operating temperature and pressure and fuel enrichment, and the chemical parameters are assessed, based on a reactor designed specifically for chemical production. An estimate is made of the cost and production rate of large-tonnage chemicals by large gas-cooled reactors 20 to 25 years hence. The experimental data on chemical yields from fission fragment bombardment are limited; however, it is believed that a desirable first step would be the production of small quantities of synthetic chemicals in individual channels fitted into existing reactor designs.

INFORMATION FOR APPLICATION OF GAMMA ABSORPTOMETERS FOR CHEMICAL PROCESSES
Fractional absorption of gamma photons from thulium-170, americium-241, or cesium-137 by uranium or plutonium in solution is measured to determine the concentration of these elements. The design of a proposed gamma absorptometer and its various components is given. (J.R.D.)
