Barrier Attenuation of Air-Scattered Gamma Radiation

Description: Report of a study that "was conducted to determine the attenuation provided by vertical and horizontal barriers exposed only to skyshine radiation from cobalt-60 and cesium-137 sources. Materials of steel, aluminum, concrete, and wood were used as barriers" (p. 5).

Geophysical Seismic Evaluation Study at Hanford

Description: From introduction: "In June, 1963, a geophysical research program was conducted at Hanford to determine the feasibility and desirability of using seismic methods in geohydrologic studies. Detection and delineation were desired of seven different geological features that in some sites affect the movement of liquid radioactive wastes discharged to the ground."

Investigation of the Hydraulics of Horizontal Drains in Plumbing Systems

Description: From introduction: "In this paper, data obtained by Hunter and by the author are reported from laboratory investigations of (1) surge flow introduced into empty simply drains, (2) attenuation of surges in simple drains, (3) continuous full-section flow in simple drains under substantially steady, uniform conditions, (4) steady flow in compound drains, and (5) surge flow introduced through a branch drain into the side or top of a main drain carrying steady flow."

On the Statistical Theory of Electromagnetic Waves in a Fluctuating Medium (II): Mathematical Basis of the Analogies to Quantum Field Theory

Description: Report discussing the relationship between quantum field theory and the the statistical theory of waves. Basic equations exist in the latter theory which correspond closely to the fundamental equations of the former theory; i.e., to the commutation relations and the Heisenberg equation of motion. A probability density function of waves is introduced here which corresponds to the probability amplitude function in quantum mechanics. The theory of the statistical Green's functions and their relati… more

Piqua Nuclear Power Facility Operations Analysis Program Progress Report Number 4: January-June 1964

Description: Progress report for the Piqua Reactor Operations Analysis Program describing observations and analyses at the Piqua Nuclear Power Facility (PNPF). The program goals are to monitor operations and collect data in order to ensure that the plant's operation is safe, to improve design and performance, to evaluate the performance and lifetime of the plant's components and systems, to evaluate plant safety and safeguards, and to disseminate all information to the scientific community.

Ultramicro Methods in Biochemistry: [Part] 5. A Comparison of the Ultramicro Determination of Phosphorus Using N-Phenyl-p-Phenylenediamine or 1-Amino-2-Naphthol-4-Sulfonic Acid, [Part] 6. The Determination of Serum Alkaline Phosphatase

Description: From Introduction: "The following report describes an ultramicro procedure using ANSA as reducing agent. The method is a modification of the method of Kaser and Baker (4). Results obtained with this method are compared to results obtained with the procedure of Dryer, Tammes, and Routh (2) adapted for ultamicro analysis (3). The latter method uses N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (NPPD) as the reducing agent."
