ELEMENT 98

Description: Definite identification has been made of an isotope of the element with atomic number 98 through the irradiation of Cm{sup 242} with 35 Mev helium ions in the Berkeley Orocker Laboratory 60-inch cyclotron. The isotope which has been identified has an observed half-life of about 45 minutes and probably has the mass number 244. The observed mode of decay of the 98{sup 244} is through the emission of alpha-particles, with energy about 7.1 Mev, which agrees with predictions, and other consideration… more

The Separation of Trace Amounts of Radioactive Cs From Macro Quanitites of Sodium and Potassium Salts

Description: Summary: A method for the separation of cesium from macro quantities of sodium and potassium using an ion exchange resin, Dowex 50, has been developed. A 95% recovery of cesium with a reduction of the solid content of 95% was found possible. Curves illustrating the effect of acidity, column length, and flow rate are presented in the report. The sodium form, hydrogen form and ammonium form of Dowex 50 were investigated; the hydrogen form was found to give the best separation.

Activity of fission products as a function of decay time, and relationship to the TBP process

Description: Fission product distribution, fission product activities, and decontamination factors are terms of general usage in the Chemical Development Section. Specific values for some of these terms have been based upon data procured several years ago. In many cases more accurate basic numbers are now available. This report sets forth in tabular form detailed information on fission product activities as a function of decay time for certain conditions. It attempts to quality the use of the theoretical cu… more

The Separation of Trace Amounts of Radioactive Cs From Macro Quantities of Sodium and Potassium Salts

Description: Recent attempts to separate fission products from urine salts in a form suitable for measurement by beta counting have involved the use of ion exchange resins to remove the ions present in macro quantities leaving the trace elements behind as a {open_quotes}thin{close_quotes} sample for counting techniques. The separation of Cs from Na and K was chosen as the starting point because of the relative difficulty of separating these elements with ordinary chemical techniques. This report describes t… more

Theoretical Investigation of the Dynamic Lateral Stability Characteristics of the Douglas X-3 Research Airplane, Study 41-B

Description: Report presenting calculations of the dynamic lateral stability characteristics of a mock-up configuration of the Douglas X-3. The oscillations were found to be stable for all calculations investigated but would not meet the Air Force damping requirements for the majority of the conditions. The use of an autopilot was found to greatly improve oscillation damping.
