Off-Gas Treatment in Berkeley Enclosures

Description: "In the past ten years quantities of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and neutron-emitting isotopes handled in enclosures have increased from microcuries to kilocuries. Contaminated-atmosphere problems have increased accordingly. Developments at Berkeley are reviewed with particular emphasis on recent equipment, viz: a multiple-purpose gas scrubber and a total-capture system for slug-dissolver off gas."

Collapse : The Shock Heating of a Plasma

Description: There have been numerous independent suggestions to use high speed shocks to heat deuterium gas to thermonuclear temperature (E. Teller, R.R. Wilson, H. Grad, W. Marshall)², and extensive experimental work in this field is being carried on by, e.g., Kolb³, and S. Janes⁴. Our own work in this field has been directed towards a fundamental understanding of the strong shock process in the limit of no particle collision, to find out if within this limit the ion heating following the passage of the s… more

Nuclear Explosives as Applied to Mining and Mineral Industries

Description: Presentation at the National Western Mining Conference of the Colorado Mining Association, Denver, Colorado, February 7, 1959. Thank you for your invitation to discuss here today some of the aspects of nuclear explosions in mining and mineral industries. I should like this afternoon to dwell briefly upon: (1) The phenology of a nuclear explosion underground. What happens; with what energies are we concerned, and what may be the scientific and industrial results of such an explosion? (2) The … more

Electron Accelerators Requiring High Peak Power Pulse Modulators

Description: The Astron, a thermo-nuclear fusion research machine, requires the injection of high-energy electron at 5 MEV emery level +- 1/2 %, 200 amperes, 60 pulses per second, 0.3 usec pulse width. The accelerator will work by the induction principle with approximately 500 magnetic cores, each 1/2 inch thick lined up on centers. Each core will be pulsed by a single primary turn and the electrons forming the secondary will experience a voltage acceleration equivalent to the primary voltage upon passing b… more

Studies of the Metabolism of Certain Fission Products and Plutonium

Description: A short survey of some of the metabolic relationships of the elements, cerium, colurbium, plutonium, strontium, yttrium, and zirconium is presented. While the results of internally deposited radium have not been investigated in these experiments, they have been extensively studies by others. Because so much is known of its biological effects, it has been included in this historical survey.

Theoretical Study of a Source of Intermediate Energy Neutrons

Description: Abstract. An analysis is made of a proposal to obtain neutrons of 15-25 Kev energy by moderating fast neutrons in aluminum and then reflecting off titanium. The fluxes calculated do not significantly exceed those obtainable from a standard antimony-beryllium photoneutron source. Two appendices treat aspects of the transport of neutrons through a slab of finite thickness.

Correction to the Debye-Huckel Theory

Description: In a recent paper, Bowers and Salpeter described a method for calculating the correlation energy of a classical one-component electron gas. The same problem has been considered by Meeron, Friedman, and Abe, using methods involving the summation of cert infinite classes of diagrams. While the relation between these theories and that of Bowers and Saltpeter is not year clear, it is interesting to note that Abe obtained an equivalent expression by approximating an integral. We have calculated the … more

Project Cowboy : Close-in Pressure Measurements with Tourmaline Crystals on Tamped Detonations

Description: In January and February, 1960, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory personnel conducted a series of experiments in Phase II of Project Cowboy in which tourmaline crystal transducers, located very close (3 to 50 feet) to tamped high explosive detonations, detected dynamic elasto-plastic stress waves generated in salt. The detonations occurred 110 feet below the 800-foot working level of the Carey Salt Mine, near Winnfield, Louisiana. These experiments were designed to measure dynamic stress conditions … more

Note on Estimating the Energies of the Arizona and Ungava Meteorite Craters

Description: In the course of the cratering studies conducted as part of the Plowshare Program, the dependence of crater dimensions on depth of burst and the scaling laws relating crater dimensions to total energy release have been derived for chemical explosions in the desert alluvium of the Nevada Test Site. The desert alluvium is a lightly cemented sand and gravel, which was chosen for study because the first nuclear cratering explosions were fired in the medium and it was of interest to compare the nucl… more

Total Neutron Yield From Targets Bombarded by Deuterons and Protons

Description: The total number of neutrons emitted from various targets bombarded by high energy deuterons and protons was measured by using a solution of MnSO<sub>4 to thermalize and capture the neutrons. The methods of monitoring the number of particles striking the target and of calibrating the neutron detecxting apparatus are discussed in detail. Deuterons of energies to 230 Mev and protons of energies to 345 Mev were used. Targets ranging from lithium to uranium were used and were backed by secondary ta… more
