Analog and Digital Readout on an IBM Output Writer

Description: Abstract: A control system to provide digital printing and to plot an analog trace on an electric operated IBM model 11C Output Writer is described. The Digital mode of operation translates multidigit numbers through a set of commands to print each digit serially, then presents them to the output writer in a time sequence. The Analog mode of operation converts a d.c. input voltage to a digital number and by tab and space bar commands translates the carriage horizontally a distance proportion… more

Annual Progress Report of Methods to Increase Burnout Heat Transfer

Description: "Acoustic energy generated by mechanical or electrical signals and its effect on pool boiling of isopropanol were studied. Daring the course of the investigation, a method was devised to determine the amount of heat-transfer surface wetted by the boiling isopropanol. Plots of heat flux versus temperature difference for each frequency showed that the acoustic energy did not significantly affect the heat flux at burnout, but slightly increased the critical temperature difference. No general effec… more

ANNUAL SUMMARY RESEARCH REPORT IN CHEMISTRY, JULY 1, 1959-JUNE 30, 1960

Description: Pilot-plant work on ion exchange separation of rare earths indicates that elution with HEDTA on hydrogen-form resin should conserve Sc. Then, after Sc, Lu, Yb, Tm, and Er are diverted to an auxiliary bed, the remaining rare earths can be resolved with EDTA. Data from investigations of rare-earth glycolate solubilities at 20 and 60 deg C are tabulated. In other work, the effectiveness of glycolic acid for fractionally precipitating rare earths was investigated, and the solubilities and compositi… more

Annual Summary Research Report in Physics, July 1, 1959-June 30, 1960

Description: Research in theoretical and experimental physics is summarized. The method of Wyse and Mayall for estimation of density distributions in stellar galaxies from observed rotational velocities was extended to a more realistic model. Methods of calculating pair production or bremsstrahiung cross sections are discussed. The presence of 10 previously unreported gamma rays was observed in the decay of Ag/sup 1//sup 1//sup 3/. The photoproton yield from Be/ sup 9/ was investigated. Theoretical studies … more

APDAC-I, A PCTR Data Analysis Code for the IBM 709

Description: A flexible foil data processing program is described. Raw data on foil radioactivity are the basic input information required. Output may consists of relative activities, saturated activities, and/or cadmium ratio and flux spectrum data. A statistical analysis of the data is executed with the direct calculation, and errors estimated for the output data.

Appendix: Production Test IP-353-A, rapid depressurization of a KER loop

Description: Proposed fuel element loading and operating conditions for this test are tabulated. The loading is designed to provide high tube power and near-maximum-allowable coolant outlet temperature, accompanied by low fuel surface heat fluxes. Conditions which would exist during the proposed test were compared with those during the rapid depressurization incident in KER-2 on Jan. 31, 1960.

An appraisal of the Hanford high-level waste program

Description: As set forth in the CPD Waste Management Program (HW-63958), new and improved methods of waste processing are planned to be initiated at Hanford. A major part of this program is concerned with the high-level wastes from the Purex Plant, with major objectives being the control of long-term hazards, the insurance of production continuity, and the attainment of positive waste accountability at reasonable over-all costs. Specific plans for the disposal of Purex wastes are based on the use of high t… more

CERENKOV AND SCINTILLATION PROPERTIES OF PLEXIGLAS UVT AND UVA

Description: The scintillation and Cherenkov properties of UVA (ultraviolet absorbing) and UVT (ultraviolet transmitting) Plexiglas specimens were tested by analyzing cosmic-rayinduced pulses traversing the materials. It was found that the UVT sample has less than 1/6 the scintillation effect of UVA and is preferred for use in counters. (J.R.D.)

A COMPENDIUM OF INFORMATION FOR USE IN CONTROLLING RADIATION EMERGENCIES INCLUDING LECTURE NOTES FROM A TRAINING SESSION AT IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, FEBRUARY 12-14, 1958

Description: A training course was held to familiarize members of radiological assistance teams from various parts of the U. S. with the origin and nature of situations that might, by the event of an unusual accident. release radioactive materials to a populated environment. The course consisted of a series of lectures and a tour of some of the radiation monitoring, source handling, and transportation facilities at NRTS. A summary of the lecture material is presented.

The Complete Bound Spectrum Of The Negative Hydrogen Ion

Description: Ever since the existence of a bound state of Hydrogen was discovered, it has been uncertain whether any other bound states existed. In addition to its importance in astrophysics this question has also come up in discussions of the scattering of electrons from hydrogen. To settle this problem it is necessary to calculate lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the Schrodinger equation. A simple calculation has been carried out for the problem of the negative hydrogen ion.
