Chambers located within the pile active zone would give the desired information but the inpile environment is too severe to allow a reasonable life for these chambers. A beam hole monitor is suggested to provide the desired flux monitoring. The problem of reactor flux monitoring is discussed. The beam hole monitors have the advantage of providin… more

Development test authorization IP-154-AL sulfuric acid study

Description: The test detailed in this report is a part of a program seeking ways to reduce the amount of radioactivity in reactor effluent water. Arsenic-76 is a major contributor to the gastrointestinal, radiation dose received by downstream users of river water. Phosphorus-32 is the principal radioisotope in the flesh of whitefish caught in the vicinity of the Hanford reservation. Recent activation analyses of the commercial grade sulfuric acid used in process water treatment have indicated that this aci… more

Element No. 102

Description: By the use of a radically new method they have succeeded in identifying unambiguously an isotope of element 102. In other careful experiments conducted over a period of many months they find that they are unable to confirm the element 102 discovery work of Fields et al. reported in 1957. The experiments at Berkeley were performed with the new heavy ion linear accelerator (HILAC) over a period of several weeks and culinated the chemical identification of an isotope of fermium (Fm{sup 250}) as th… more
