Description

Partial abstract: "The direct utilization of fission fragment recoil energy in chemical production shows outstanding promise as a significant application of atomic energy. Highly efficient use of the liberatied energy under high temperature conditions and with unusually rapid quenching is within engineering grasp. This contract has covered a measurement of the efficiency with which nitric acid can be produced by such a process under industrial plant conditions. Equipment, techniques, and instrumentation were developed and perfected which permitted an in-reactor yield measurement using fissile smoke dispersed in a 4:1 nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture at 1000 psi and 200 C" (p. iii).
