Electromagnetic Research Division Quarterly Progress Report, Part I for Period Ending March 31, 1952

Description: From abstract: "Relocation of the ion source in the 86-inch cyclotron has increased the available beam energy substantially. Modifications have also been made to permit the use of targets of 100 square inches. Proton currents of one milliampere can now be obtained readily at ~24 Mev. The 63-inch cyclotron has been completely assembled and checked. In rf tests a 75 kv dee-to-dee voltage has been maintained, under vacuum, for long periods without evidences of failures, thus exceeding the 60 kv de… more

Electromagnetic Research Division Quarterly Progress Report, Part I for Period Ending June 30, 1952

Description: From abstract: "On the 86-inch cyclotron a 41-kw beam has been calorimetered at a net ion loading efficiency of 40%; the average proton current was 1.85 ma at 22.5 Mev. Practical specific yields have been determined for (p,2n) reactions on zinc and bismuth. The investigation of products of proton-induced fission of uranium has been continued and new techniques are being used in measuring angular distribution of reaction products. The 63-inch heavy particle cyclotron is now in operation; N+++ pa… more

The Supercritical Water Reactor

Description: From summary: "During 1951 NDA has, at the request of ORNL, been studying the supercritical-water reactor as proposed for aircraft propulsion in Wash-24...This study has concerned itself only with the reactor and shield." The report describes the reactor and the processes involved in developing it. The goal of the development of this reactor is identified as a path to supersonic flight.
