ABIOGENIC INFORMATION COUPLING BETWEEN NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN,OR, HOW PROTEIN AND DNA WERE MARRIED

Description: There is now experimental evidence for selectivity between the amino acid and the nucleic acid base which is the beginning of the chemical translation process from one linear system to the other. The linear system of the nucleic acid is, of course, an excellent place to store the information, whereas the linear system of the polypeptide, on the other hand, is the versatile system which can perform many different types of reactions but is unable to store information reliably. The experiments the… more

An Analytical Model for Predicting Cross-Country Vehicle Performance, Appendix B: Vehicle Performance in Lateral and Longitudinal Obstacles (Vegetation), Volume 1: Lateral Obstacles

Description: First part of an appendix that accompanies a study meant to develop a model for predicting the cross-country performance of military vehicles in various conditions. This volume describes a segment of tests to determine the ability of vehicles to negotiate lateral obstacles (e.g., trees, boulders, holes, mounds, etc.).

Design criteria for an HTGR reference fuel reprocessing plant

Description: Design criteria are given for a conceptual reprocessing plant capable of processing HTGR-type graphite-based fuel. The single-purpose plant is designed to reprocess 260 metric tons of fuel per year consisting of HTGR reference-type and Fort St. Vrain fuel plus a small amount of Peach Bottom fuel. The design incorporates a burn-leach type headend, separate modified Acid-thorex flowsheets for solvent extraction recovery of the heavy metals from both the fertile and fissile particles, and denitrat… more

Experiments on Forming Intense Rings of Electrons Suitable for the Acceleration of Ions

Description: Electrons were injected from a 3.3-MeV 300-A accelerator into a circular orbit in a pulsed magnetic field. Trapped ring currents of 150 A (4 x 10{sup 12} electrons) were magnetically compressed from 19 cm to 3.5 cm radii and simultaneously accelerated from 3.3 MeV to 18 MeV in energy. The rms dimensions of the cross section of the ring after compression were a = 2.3 {+-} 0.2 mm radially and b = 1.6 {+-} 0.2 mm axially. The lifetime of the ring was typically 5.5 msec, and was determined by the d… more

HE formulation. Quarterly report, January--March, 1968

Description: RX-09-CB and LX-07 were made to supply material for testing. Both were made in the 300-gallon kettle in 250-pound batches which were then blended into 1,000-pound lots. An RX-09 with no plasticizer (HMX and DNPA) was made in the 30-liter reactor for special gap and friction studies. Approximately 20 pounds of DNPOH, supplied by Aerojet, was converted to DNPA and polymerized by the emulsion polymerization process. Work on high surface area PETN continued by precipitation recrystallizing two 10 k… more

Hanford isotope production capabilities for single pass reactors

Description: This report is a summary of several studies made by the author during 1967, and early 1968, while providing technical assistance to the Advanced Concepts and Planning Section. An attempt has been made to reduce the data to a usable form which will enable the reader to estimate the production of a particular isotope and the production of weapons grade plutonium that accompanies the co-product loading for different Uranium-235 concentrations of the driver fuels. It should be emphasized that the p… more
