Acute Radiotoxicity of (BA-LA)140 in Rats and Mice : Part I. Preparation and Administration of the Emitters

Description: Barium 140 and its daughter, lanthanum 140, were obtained from uranium fission. The composition of the solutions used in animal studies is given a procedure for delivering toxic doses to small animals and methods for preparing animal tissues for radioactivity measurements are described.

Acute Radiotoxicity of (Ha-La)140 for Rats and Mice. Part III. Effects of Height and Food Intake of Animals Treated with (Ha-La)140

Description: In the (Ha-La)140 experiments mice and rats were injected intraperitonially with toxic doses of radiobarium. The weight curves indicate that there was definite retardation of growth in mice and 2.25 uc/g and in rats at 1.98 uc/g.

The Clinical Physiology of Dogs Exposed to Single Total-Body Doses of X-Rays

Description: A rational approach to therapy for irradiation damage must be based upon knowledge of the nature of the damage. This study of clinical physiology of dogs exposed to singe doses of total body X-radiation was undertaken to provide such a basis for therapy and to provide a basis for descriptions of the effects of specific project hazards.

Collision Mechanics and Energy Angle Nomography

Description: The general reaction of interest in nuclear physics is that due to N1 colliding with N2 and producing N3 and N4 with reaction energy Q. It is shown how the energies of N3 and N4 can be obrtained at any angle from a nomograph simply constructed of semicircles.

The Effect of Plutonium on Tissue Metabolism of Rats

Description: When plutonium is introduced into the body either by injection or by intratracheal instillation, there are, in addition to the usual signs of damage to the lymphoid tissues, definite alterations in the metabolism of tissues.

The Electrolysis of Uranium Halides

Description: The electrolysis of tetra- and tri-halides of uranium in fused salt systems at temperatures from 700°-900° C has been investigated. Serious losses are caused by reaction with atmospheric oxygen, refractories and electrode materials.

The Excretion, Retention, Distribution, and Clinical Effects of Strontium 89 in the Dog. Part I. Report of Experimental Work

Description: In adult dog, the 30 day LD 50 for intramuscularly injected Sr 89 (with some Dr 90 contamination) was approximately 1.0 uc/g injected dose or 0.5 uc/g retained dose at 10 days, corrected for excretion and decay.

The Interference of Nickel in the Reduction of Uranium Solutions in the Jones Reduction: a Study of the Effects of Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminum and Sodium Ions upon the Reduction

Description: Nickel interferes seriously with the reduction of uranyl solutions in the Jones reductor. Nickel ion, if added after reduction of a uranium solution has no harmful effect upon the aeration and the titration with standard ceric sulfate solution.

Observations on the Preparation of the Tribromide and Triiodide of Uranium

Description: Uranium Tribromide has been prepared both by the reduction of the tetrabromide with hydrogen at 600-700° C, and by direct union of uranium and bromine at about 580°C. An attempt to prepare the triiodide of uranium by the latter method was unsuccessful
