Abstract

A vibration damping device effective to dampen vibrations occurring at the several critical speeds encountered in the operation of a high-speed centrifuge is described. A self-centering bearing mechanism is used to protect both the centrifuge shaft and the damping mechanism. The damping mechanism comprises spaced-apant, movable, and stationary sleeve members arranged concentrically of a rotating shaft with a fluid maintained between the members. The movable sleeve member is connected to the shaft for radial movement therewith.

TOOL ASSEMBLY WITH BI-DIRECTIONAL BEARING

Patent Longhurst, G.E.

A two-direction motion bearing which is incorporated in a refueling nuclear fuel element trsnsfer tool assembly is described. A plurality of bi- directional bearing assembliesare fixed equi-distantly about the circumference of the transfer tool assembly to provide the tool assembly with a bearing surface- for both axial and rotational motion. Each bi-directional bearing assembly contains a plurality of circumferentially bulged rollers mounted in a unique arrangement which will provide a bearing surface for rotational movement of the tool assembly within a bore. The bi-direc tional bearing assembly itself is capable of rational motion and thus provides for longitudinal movement ofmore » the tool assembly.« less
Method for increasing the burn-up capability of boiling water nuclear reactors containing plutonium-bearing fuel assemblies

Patent Sofer, G.A.

The burn-up capability of a boiling water nuclear reactor containing plutonium-bearing fuel assemblies is significantly increased by reducing the void fraction in the core toward the end of the cycle. This reduction is advantageously accomplished by increasing the rate at which water is recirculated. (Official Gazette)
GAS BEARING

Patent Skarstrom, C.W.

A gas lubricated bearing for a rotating shaft is described. The assembly comprises a stationary collar having an annular member resiliently supported thereon. The collar and annular member are provided with cooperating gas passages arranged for admission of pressurized gas which supports and lubricates a bearing block fixed to the rotatable shaft. The resilient means for the annular member support the latter against movement away from the bearing block when the assembly is in operation.
PENETRATING RADIATION MEASUREMENT BY IONIZATION OF A PARTICLE BEARING AEROSOL

Patent Rich, T.A.

A radiation-measuring device is described wherein an aerosol-particle- bearing gaseous sample of a known concentration is exposed to the radiation to be measured so that the aerosol particles are charged by the ionizing effect of the radiation to an extent determined by the intensity of the radiation. The charged aerosol-particle fraction is reMoved by passing the sample through an electric field, and the change in aerosol-particle concentration is measured as an indication of the radiation intensity. The device is expected to be highly sensitive, easy to manufacture, and rugged in construction. (A.G.W.)
