The Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Project Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending August 31, 1950
Technical report outlining various experiments that took place in the Oak Ridge Area Critical Mass Laboratory until August 31, 1950. Experiments took place in categories of critical experiments, experimental engineering, heat transfer, radiation damage, nuclear measurements, reactor physics, ARE reactor design, circulating fuel reactors, and circulating moderator reactors. [From Summary]
The Corrosion of Miniature Fuel Plates in Simulated Reactor Cooling Water
Technical report issued as one of a series of reports concerned with corrosion studies for the Materials Resting Reactor, created to both determine the effect of various practices for fuel plate fabrication on corrosion resistance and to determine the extent of penetration of the fuel plates by localized corrosion attack. [From Introduction]
The Effect of X Irradiation in Oxygen and in Hydrogen at Normal and Positive Pressures on Chromosome Aberration Frequency in Tradescantia Microspores
Effect of x irradiation in oxygen and in hydrogen on chromosome aberration frequency in tradescantia microspores.
Electrodeposition of Aluminum and Zirconium on Uranium
Technical report outlining a method for the electrodeposition of adherent deposits of both aluminum and zirconium on uranium. Report finds that current efficiencies are good for aluminum deposition but low for the zirconium baths. [From Abstract]
Evaluation of Alternate Solvents for Diethyl Ether in the Extraction of Uranium From Mallinckrodt Type Ore Feeds
Abstract: Technical report describing an evaluation of solvents for use in the extraction of uranium from Mallinckrodt type ore feeds.
Evaluation of Alternate Solvents for Diethyl Ether in the Extraction of Uranium From Mallinckrodt Type Ore Feeds
Technical report evaluating solvents for use in the extraction of uranium from Mallinckrodt type ore feeds. Re-evaluates the Mallinckrodt process in the light of the more recent solvent extraction development that has been carried out at various AEC sites.
Evaluation of Tributyl Phosphate in Jet Mixing Columns as a Solvent for Uranium Extraction From Slurry-Type Ore Feeds
Technical report outlining the physical operability of 30% tributyl phosphate in a hydrocarbon dilutent for the extraction of uranium from more feed slurries. Operability had been satisfactorily demonstrated in jet mixing columns at the pilot plant of the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works. [From Abstract]
Homogeneous Reactor Experiment Quarterly Progress Report [for] Period Ending August 31, 1950
Technical report containing the detailed design of the equipment within the reactor shield, reviewed in 1950. Contains various summaries on engineering design and development, reactor physics, chemical studies, and corrosion.
A Preliminary Survey of Radioactive Constituents in Rainwater at ORNL
Technical report surveying radio-chemical analyses by ORNL's Analytical Chemistry Division and Health-Physics Division of large volumes of rainwater for plutonium, uranium, and fission products. Overall, carrying efficiencies for Al(OH)3 scavenging of rainwater were determined for these elements, as well as for Pu and U. [From Abstract, Introduction]
The Preparation and Properties of Mammalian Ribonucleic Acids
"A method for the preparation of mammalian ribonucleic acids employing high concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride in the fractionation procedure is reported in this paper. Aside from the facility of preparation the method has the advantage of avoiding conditions of acidity and alkalinity which might degrade tissue ribonucleic acids and, by virtue of the protein denaturant action of guanidine salts, of minimizing the possibility for enzymatic degradation" (p. 3).
General Reactor-Engineering Research Quarterly Progress Report [for] Period Ending August 31, 1950
Technical report describing results on work which cannot be ascribed to one reactor program. Outlines the results of miscellaneous corrosion testing, the development of new shielding materials, the testing of irradiated plastics, and general heat transfer investigation. [From Preface]
