Neely Nuclear Research Center named a nuclear historic landmark
The American Nuclear Society recently announced the designation of three new nuclear historic landmarks: the Hot Fuel Examination Facility, the Neely Nuclear Research Center, and the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Today’s article, the second in a three-part series, will focus on the historical significance of the Neely Nuclear Research Center.

The diffusion coefficients of D2 in Nb—1 wt% Zr were determined in the range from 923 to 1148 K. A hollow-cylinder model, used as the frame of reference, adequately described the transport of D2 through the alloy containing oxygen impurities. The diffusion coefficient is temperature dependent and is best described byD (m2/s) =8.5 ± 7 × 10−8 exp (−48.2 ± 6.7 × 103/RT) .
