- The Los Alamos primer
- Notes Based on a set of five lectures given by R. Serber during the first two weeks of April 1943, as an "indoctrination course" in connection with the starting of the Los Alamos project.
- Effect of Temperature and Reactivity Changes in Operation of the Los Alamos Plutonium Reactor
- The operation of the Fast Reactor is considered in terms of normal equilibrium conditions and normal shut-down. The proposed loading, control rod adjustment and subsequent "floating" operation are discussed. Safety devices and interlocks are described. Temperature and reactivity changes are examined with respect to various system failures, phase changes, and "flashing" of the reactor. Slow changes due to faulty slug cooling are also considered. The calculations were initially based upon 10 kw operation. Performance tests of the mercury system now indicate that 20-kw operation may be feasible.
- Los Alamos Power Reactor Experiment and its Associated Hazards
- The following report describes the high pressure and temperature homogeneous reactor experiment which has been started at Los Alamos, as well as the hazards and safety aspects for the experiments.
- A Survey of Some Los Alamos County Canyons for Radioactive Contamination, Spring 1953 to Spring 1955
- Abstract: This document is a survey analysis of soil samples from Los Alamos, Pueblo, Bayo, and Mortandad canyons to determine the presence and activities of radioactive contaminants. Also included are the results of analyses of a few samples of grass and of surface water. This survey covers the period from spring 1953 to spring 1955.
- Instrumentation and Some Related Problems for Neutron Flux Measurement of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Kiwi-A Reactor
- Abstract: "A description of the instrumentation for neutron flux measurement from Kiwi-A at NTS is given as some discussion of start-up considerations, detector design, system response adjustments, and power calibration of the reactor at some low level of power."
- Fabrication of Ceramic Shapes
- Abstract: "This report indicates some of the methods employed at Los Alamos for the fabrication of refractory products."
- Formerly Utilized MED/AEC Sites Remedial Action Program: Radiological Survey of the Bayo Canyon, Los Alamos, New Mexico
- Preface: This report contains data and information on the resurvey effort and the effect of residual contamination as a result of nuclear weapons development programs conducted in this area.
