Biology of the transuranium elements: an indexed bibliography

Description: This bibliography on the biology of the transuranium elements is a revision of one issued in 1973 (BNWL-1782). It includes essentially all of the citations from the earlier document, a few corrections and additions from the older literature, plus the new literature to mid-1975. It also includes a subject-matter index not present in the original document.

Radiological safety considerations in the design and operation of the ORNL Transuranium Research Laboratory (TRL)

Description: The Transuranium Research Laboratory (TRL) is the central facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for chemical and physical research involving transuranium elements. Transuranium Research Laboratory investigations are about equally divided between studies of inorganic and structural chemistry of the heavy elements and nuclear structure and properties of their isotopes. Elements studied include neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, and einsteinium, each in mic… more

Safety analysis report for packaging: neutron shipping cask, model 0. 5T

Description: The Safety Analysis Report for Packaging demonstrates that the neutron shipping cask can safely transport, in solid or powder form, all isotopes of uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, and fermium. The shipping cask and its contents are described. It also evaluates transport conditions, structural parameters (e.g., load resistance, pressure and impact effects, lifting and tiedown devices), and shielding. Finally, it discusses compliance with Chapter 0529 o… more

Californium production at the transuranium processing plant. [Transuranium processing plant design, equipment, and facilities]

Description: The Transuranium Processing Plant (TRU) at ORNL, which is the production, storage, and distribution center for the ERDA heavy element research program, is described. About 0.5 percent of /sup 252/Cf is currently being produced. TRU is a hot-cell, chemical processing facility of advanced design. New concepts have been incorporated into the facility for absolute containment, remote operation, remote equipment installation, and remote maintenance. The facilities include a battery of nine heavily s… more

Sorption of curium, berkelium, californium, and einsteinium on cation exchange resin from nitric acid solutions

Description: Plots of the distribution coefficients of curium, berkelium, einsteinium, and californium (+3 ions) adsorbed on Dowex 50-X8 resin from nitric acid solutions are U-shaped, while plots of einsteinium (+4 ions) distribution coefficients are similar to an exponential decay curve. The +3 ions exhibit a minimum sorption at a nitric acid concentration of 6 or 7 molar. (LK)

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SYMPOSIUM COMMEMORATING THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF ELEMENTS 97 and 98 HELD ON JAN. 20, 1975

Description: This volume includes the talks given on January 20, 1975, at a symposium in Berkeley on the occasion of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the discovery of berkelium and californium. Talks were given at this symposium by the four people involved in the discovery of these elements and by a number of people who have made significant contributions in the intervening years to the investigation of their nuclear and chemical properties. The papers are being published here, without editing, in… more
