Capture Cross Section of Pb208 for C Neutrons

Description: From abstract: "Using the method of induced radioactivity, the capture cross section of Pb[^]208 for C neutrons is found to be .00045 ± .00015 x 10[^]-24 cm[^]2. This is definitely lower than the value of .001 x 10[^]-24 reported by Maurer and Ramm."

Certain Mechanical Strength Properties of Aluminum Alloys 25S-T and X76S-T

Description: Note presenting tests made to determine certain mechanical strength properties of 25S-T aluminum alloy. Results are presented from static tests in tension and torsion, bending fatigue tests employing three different types of testing machines, and from impact tests of notched and unnotched specimens in tension as well as Charpy impact tests made at several low temperatures. These are made in order to study the stresses that propeller blades experience.

Chain Reaction of Pure Fissionable Materials in Solution

Description: The critical mass of 94-239 and the corresponding critical dimensions of homogeneous mixtures of 94-239 with various moderating media been calculated as a function of the concentration of 94. A simple transformation makes the figures applicated to92-235. the results are in essential agreement with the preliminary estimated made independently by Oppenheimer and Serber. The problem of the stability of a chain reaction in solution and questions of protection are discussed.

Chemical Research -- U233 Production and Extraction; Report for the Month Ending June 21, 1943

Description: Abstract. The precipitation of Pa233 with MnO2 from a solution of thorium nitrate has been studied in some detail and seems quite satisfactory up to 36 gm Th(HO3)4 4H2O per 100 cc solution. The concentration of Pa233 with respect to the manganese dioxide carrier and the thorium precipitated with the carrier appears to be accomplished quite well by either a series of MnO2 cycles or thorium iodate cycles. Volatility methods for both the separation of Pa233 from the original thorium and for its … more

Circumventing chloride ion trouble Columbia River water

Description: This report contains data acquired during sampling of the Columbia River water on March 26, 1945. Topics of discussion include; the elevation of chlorine levels from 4 ppm to 20 ppm, what steps should be taken to remediate the problem, and the various processes that were taken into consideration for the clean up of this chlorine. Separation processes considered include; ion exchange, distillation, precipitation, heat exchange, and recirculation through a cooling tower.

A Colorimetric Method

Description: From abstract: "This paper gives a method for determining Uranium using sodium cresotate as a colorimetric reagent. A precision is obtained of better than 2%. In carrying out analyses for Uranium in corrosion products by existing methods such as ignition to the oxide, silver reductor, or titration with ceric sulfate, it became apparent that a rapid, fairly accurate method for determining uranyl ion would be of great value. Such a method is described in this paper. The most logical color to use … more

Column Strength of Magnesium Alloy AM-57S

Description: Tests were made to determine the column strength of extruded magnesium alloy AM-57S. Column specimens were tested with round ends and with flat ends. It was found that the compressive properties should be used in computations for column strengths rather than the tensile properties because the compressive yield strength was approximately one-half the tensile yield strength. A formula for the column strength of magnesium alloy AM-57S is given.

A Comparative Study of the Effect of Wing Flutter Shape on the Critical Flutter Speed

Description: Report presenting a comparison of the results of calculations of the critical flutter speeds of nine uniform rectangular wings without ailerons by two methods: one in which the effect of the wing flutter shape is introduced indirectly by choosing mean values for the wing parameters and one that introduces an additional degree of freedom in the wing-bending flutter mode.

Comparison of various methods for computing drag from wake surveys

Description: "The various equations for computing profile drag by the momentum method are examined, and the errors arising from complete or partial neglect of compressibility effects in the Jones equation and the Bicknell equation are evaluated. The integrating method of Silverstein and Katzoff is shown to be accurate over a wide range of Mach number and wake shapes" (p. 1).

The Contamination of Cooling Water by a P-9 Plant

Description: The following sources of contamination in cooling water of the P-9 plant are considered: (1) Fission recoils, (2) Corrosion of metal, (3) Recoil from aluminum, (4) Induced activity in the water. It is found that for a P-9 plant of 3.5 x 10(4) KW contamination of the river at "X" should not exceed the .1 r criterion unless coating failure occurs. Tables of the amount of coating failure permissible are given as a function of holdup time.

The Coso Quicksilver District, Inyo County, California

Description: From abstract: The Coso quicksilver district, which is in the Coso Range, Inyo County, Calif., produced 231 flasks of quicksilver between 1935 and 1939. The quicksilver mineral, cinnabar, was not recognized in the district until 1929, although the hot springs near the deposits have been known since about 1875...The granitic rock on which much of the sinter rests is considerably altered. The cinnabar was deposited as films and grains in open spaces in the sinter, during one stage in a sequence o… more
