Application of Pulse Counting Methods to Mass Spectrometry

Description: The pulse counting technique for measuring very small positive ion currents in a mass spectrometer is especially suited to cases where an electron multiplier is used as a detector. Each positive ion which produces one or more electrons at the first dynode of the electron multiplier creates a single pulse at the output. The smallest detectable current is limited by the rate at which thermionic electrons are emitted from the first few dynodes, while the largest current is determined by the speed … more

Evaluation of Seal Weld Joint Designs

Description: Report discussing a program to investigate the properties of two types of seal welds for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) components. The objective of the study is to determine mechanical properties of concave canopy seal welds and convex canopy seal welds, determine if these two seal weld joint designs can be used safely for fabrication of SAR components, and to develop optimum welding conditions and weld joint designs for uniform full weld penetration using a concave and a convex canopy weld.

Hydrologic and Tracer Studies in Mohawk River at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory

Description: Preface: In 1948, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, initiated a study of the hydraulics and hydrology of Mohawk River in the vicinity of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) near Schenectady, N.Y. The purpose of this study was to determine the probable effects of release of low concentrations of radioactive wastes from the Laboratory to Mohawk River.

A General Purpose Log Counting Rate Meter Model B

Description: Abstract: This report is a brief description of a general purpose logarithmic counting rate meter developed at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. The theory of operation and the circuit design are discussed. The use of a diode as a logarithmic element in the integrating circuit allows extremely accurate counting rate determinations over a five decade range.

Pressure and Thermal Stresses at a Pipe Attachment to a Sphere

Description: Abstract: Design nomographs and equations have been prepared for determining the bending stresses and hoop stresses at the junction of a cylinder and sphere when: (1) Internal pressure exists in the sphere and (2) There is a difference in average temperature between the cylinder and the sphere. A correlation of calculated stresses and photoelastically determined stresses for models with internal pressure is presented.
