Gamma Activities in Irradiated Beryllium Oxide

Description: The major long lived activity induced in irradiated Pechiney and Brush BeO specimens is due to Se-46 arising from scandium present to the extent of about 1 p.p.m. The Brush specimens showed additional activities due to Fe-59 and Co-60 and to Cr-51. The levels of Cr-51 found are considerably higher than would be expected on the basis of stated chromium impurity levels suggesting that the chromium is introduced during handling of the samples on site. Approximate values of the dose rate are includ… more

The Spectrophotometric Determination of Beryllium with Chrome Azurol S

Description: A comprehensive investigation of the spectrophotometric determination of beryllium with Chrome Azurol S is described. At pH 4.6, and in the presence of EDTA, only Cr-3+ and F1- ions interfere seriously. A molar absorptivity of 4060 at 569 mu has been found for the complex, with a standard deviation of plus or minus 0.4 per cent at the 25 omega g beryllium level. Chrome Azurol S has several advantages over Berillon II, which is widely used for the spectrophotometric determination of beryllium.

The Irradiation Behaviour of Hot-Pressed Dispersions of (U, Th)Be13 in Beryllium :Second Irradiation Experiment

Description: Fuel specimens having uranium—thorium beryllides as the fissile bearing phase were irradiated at 400 to 700 ºC to burn—ups between 7 and 11a/0 uranium in a predominantly thermal flux, two specimens of massive (U;Th)Be13 exhibited good dimensional stability and low fission gas release. Dispersion specimens containing 20, 35, and 50v/o (U,Th)Be13 swelled by 3 to 18 per cent, and released up to 33 per cent, of the gaseous fission products. The results indicate that the mixed beryllide is an inhere… more

Irradiation of Beryllium at Elevated Temperatures. Part II. Irradiation of Rig X-74 in HIFAR

Description: Beryllium metal specimens fabricated by various routes were examined after irradiation to fast neutron doses of 5.5 x 1020 to 9 x 1020 nvt at temperatures of 450, 550, and 650ºC. The results were in general agreement with those reported previously for similar material irradiated to lower doses. Density changes of any significance were observed only at 650ºC. Serious loss of high temperature ductility occurred in all materials and was again attributed to helium bubble formation at grain boundari… more

MULGA : a Complex of Codes for the Determination of Multigroup Averaged Neutron Cross Section Data

Description: A complex of computer programmes called MULGA is described which will produce multigroup cross sections in a format suitable for input into a selection of reactor codes. Always bearing in mind that the spatial variation of flux will frustrate any determination of "exact" cross sections the maximum accuracy has been striven for within the limitations of urgency and feasibility. The programmes; together with an associated microscopic data library tape, and a specialised monitor system, have been … more

Thermodynamic Properties of 65 Elements: Their Oxides, Halides, Carbides and Nitrides

Description: From Introduction: "This Bureau of Mines bulletin was prepared to compile in readily usable form the heat content, heat-of-formation, and free-energy-of-formation data for 65 common elements and their respective oxides, halides, carbides, and nitrides. The bulletin was prepared to encourage the application of thermodynamics in the metallurgical field; consequently, the values have been presented in a simple, readily usable form and several examples of their applications have been shown."

Studies in Contact Microradiography : Presented at the American Society for Testing Materials, 66th Annual Meeting, Atlantic City, New Jersey, June 23-28, 1963.

Description: Abstract: Recent developments in techniques for low-voltage radiography have found application for the examination and evaluation of minute details in small or thin specimens. Utilization of x-ray tubes and helium chambers with thin windows for maximum transmission of soft x rays and bare film with dark-room exposure techniques have allowed very high contrast radiographs to be produced on low-contrast materials. These conditions, coupled with very high resolution photographic emulsion detectors… more

Description: Abstract: Various mechanisms for the formation of point defects in ionic crystals are considered. Their probable importance as a function of the energy of the ionizing radiation and the temperature at which the irradiation takes place is discussed. Complex centers formed from aggregates of simple point defects are reviewed and their occurrence considered in terms of the expected spatial distribution of the point defects. The effect of high energy x rays and protons on the ionic conductivity is … more

Man-made Ionized Columns in the Atmosphere - a New Tool for Meteorological Research

Description: Abstract: The use of a high energy proton or electron beam, directed vertically to act as a probe for the study of atmospheric processes is proposed. An outstanding feature of such an atmospheric probe is its capability to ionize a column of air repeatedly in a few microseconds and in approximately the same place. Characteristics of a vertical proton beam which may be generated by the Zero Gradient Synchrotron at the Argonne National Laboratory are discussed and calculations are presented to p… more

Scattering of a Velocity Selected Potassium Beam by Neon, Argon, and Xenon Gases at Different Temperatures

Description: Abstract: A thermal K beam was velocity selected, and scattered by Ne, Ar, and Xe gases. The dependence of the total cross section on relative velocity is approximately v/sup -0.4/ for K--Ar and K--Xe, and v/sup 0.8/ for K--Ne. The average relative velocity ranges were 400 to 1430 m/sec for Ne, 480 to 1350 m/sec for Ar, and 380 to 1320 m/sec for Xe. The dependence of the cross section on relative velocity was obtained by removing the cross section from the collision frequency integral. For the … more
