The Chelate Process: [Part] 5. Investigation in Horizontal Extractors

Description: The recovery of plutonium has been demonstrated in a laboratory countercurrent horizontal extractor using the TTA process. Using three extractive stages and two washing stages in each step, a recovery of 91 percent has been obtained in the chelation step and a recovery of 99.9+ percent in the de-chelation step. With five extractive stages, recoveries of 94-98 percent have been found for the chelation step.

Exploratory Tests of the Behavior of Several Materials in a Supersonic Air Jet at 4,000 Degrees Fahrenheit

Description: "Several materials have been tested in the ceramic-heated jet (laboratory model) at a Mach number of 1.96 with a stagnation temperature of approximately 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Test models made of molybdenum were less affected by temperature than titanium, stainless steel, and an alloy of 90 percent tungsten, 6 percent nickel, and 4 percent copper. Titanium and steel burn with highly exothermic reactions when subjected to the 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit air jet" (p. 1).

HASL Aerial Survey System

Description: Radioactive debris from nuclear detonations may fall out over an extensive area. A rapid evaluation of the distribution of such surface contamination cam be obtained by an aircraft mounted detector. The gamma field measured in the aircraft can be related to the intensity on the ground. The HASL Top Hat'' system measures the radiation intensity, in an aircraft, at any altitude up to 1500 feet. The data are continuously compensated to the reading that would be obtained if the measurements were ta… more

II. K+ Charge Exchange - Production Of Ko Mesone By Charge Exchange Of K+ In Propane

Description: In another paper there was reported an attempt to observe the charge-exchange process in a counter-triggered multiplate cloud chamber at the Bevatron but the interpretation was ambiguous. Shortly after the close of that experiment the 30-in. propane bubble chamber at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory was completed and able to be used for a combined engineering test and experiment. The existence of Reaction (1) has been confirmed in this experiment, and an approximate cross-section value for car… more

Project CGC-830 Plant Modifications for Reprocessing Non-Production Reactor Fuels

Description: Facilities are to be designed for installation at Hanford for the reprocessing of irradiated, low enrichment fuels from non-production reactors, see Reference 1 and 2. The initial design of the processing facilities is to be based on processing the fuels discharged from the Dresden, Yankee, Piqua, Pathfinder and Shippingport (blanket elements only) reactors. Properties of the fuels and cladding make it impossible to completely process them in existing equipment, although the separation and deco… more

Time Dependence of the Beam in the 86-Inch Cyclotron

Description: In the preliminary stages of getting up a time-of-flight system for measuring neutron spectra from proton reactions, a study of the time dependence of the beam in the 86Inch Cyclotron was made. This study revealed the expected bunching of the protons to produce a short burst of beam on each cycle of the 13.4 Mc/s accelerating voltage. In addition to the 13.4 Mc/s structure, however, there was a 360 c/sec modulation of the beam pulses and a complicated pattern built upon that.

A unified theory of plastic buckling of columns and plates

Description: On the basis of modern plasticity considerations, a unified theory of plastic buckling applicable to both columns and plates has been developed. For uniform compression, the theory shows that long columns which bend without appreciable twisting require the tangent modulus and that long flanges which twist without appreciable bending require the secant modulus. Structures that both bend and twist when they buckle require a modulus which is a combination of the secant modulus and the tangent modu… more
