Evaluation of Beta Radiation as a Hydrogenation Catalyst: Interim Technical Status Report for the Period March 1, 1962 to October 31, 1963

Description: From abstract: The concept of using high intensity beta radiation from an isotopic source, Sr-90, inside a high temperature, high pressure chemical reactor has been developed for potential radiation chemical processes. Distinct advantages include high utilizable intensity from a relatively small source with a minimum of shielding against external radiation.

Stratospheric Monitoring Program

Description: "The performance of the Model I electrostatic precipitator sampler in recent field and laboratory tests is described and discussed. Two of the four precipitator-bearing balloon flights during this interval reached the floating altitude of approximates 105,000 feet, and the precipitator operated efficiently on both. One sample was collected at the nominal design flowrate of approximates 100 cfm, and the second at approximates -200 cfm. Comparison of the deposition profiles of the stratospheric s… more

Bimetallic Casting

Description: "Uranium and zirconium were bonded by melting the two metals in contact with one another in a bimetallic casting process. Tensile tests of specimens containing the original zone of interface between the two metals showed that all failures were at locations other than the interface. The coefficients obtained for diffusion between molten uranium and molten zirconium varied from 2.13 cm squared per day at 3,380 degrees F. to 9.17 cm squared per day at 3,510 degrees F. the activation energy for th… more

Equilibrium Configuration of a Plasma in the Guiding Center Limit

Description: "We compute the equilibrium configuration of a collision-free plasma contained in an axially symmetric magnetic field. The plasma is characterized by a non-scalar pressure tensor which is obtained from a microscopic distribution function in a form suggested b the guiding center approximation. The solution is calculated in the limit where the ratio of the width to the length of the plasma region and the ratio of the gas to the magnetic pressure are both small. Boundary values at the midplane … more

Lung Hazards From Inhaled Radioactive Particulate Matter

Description: Conclusions from the study: "Radioactive dusts are carcinogenic, and can cause cancer of the lung. complete dose response curves have not yet been determined. All the parameters that render this demonstrably toxic material (radioactive dust) have not yet been evaluated. It is strongly suggested by the experimental data that duration of radiological insult to the lung is an important factor in eliciting lung cancer. The atmospheric tolerance concentrations now in use seem to afford little marg… more

Second Quarterly Report - The Study of the Potential Applications of Radioisotope Technology to Water Resource Investigations and Utiiization

Description: The objective of the study which is being carried out under contract AT(30-1)-2477 is the exploration of all aspects of research in water resources and supply to determine the potential for using radioisotope technology in this research. Problem areas in the application of tracers in this research are being investigated through the evaluation of past experimentation with radioisotopic techniques and through discussions with those who are active in this work. A series of suggestions relating to… more

Nuclear Track Image Intensifier

Description: "Development of a nuclear track image intensifier which is to have a cathode dia. of 83 in. and an output screen dia. of 1 in. is reported. Spherical faceplates for the intensifier which were etched to a thickness of 0.025 in. over a dia. of 80 in. withstood a pressure differential of 2 atm. Techniques were developed to measure spectral energy distribution, phosphor burn characteristics, phosphor efficiency, and phosphor persistence. Thallium- activated RbI and CsI were evaluated for use in the… more

Comparison of Radiation-Induced Graft Copolymerization Untilizing Electron Accelerators and Isotope Sources as Radiation Initiators

Description: "A comparison of grafting to two thicknesses of polypropylene film is made using isotope and electron accelerator initiation. The results indicate that the grafting of methacrylic acid: styrene to polypropylene is mainly a surface reaction."

Annual Progress Report of Methods to Increase Burnout Heat Transfer

Description: "Acoustic energy generated by mechanical or electrical signals and its effect on pool boiling of isopropanol were studied. Daring the course of the investigation, a method was devised to determine the amount of heat-transfer surface wetted by the boiling isopropanol. Plots of heat flux versus temperature difference for each frequency showed that the acoustic energy did not significantly affect the heat flux at burnout, but slightly increased the critical temperature difference. No general effec… more

Interpretation of Westwood, New Jersey Rainfall Data

Description: "Progress is reported in an evaluation of fission product concentration in rain as a function of time, location, and meteorological setting. Data on rainfall collected at Westwood, N. J., were analyzed for information on the mechanisms of fallout deposition, seasonal variations in fallout, the stratospheric residence time of W/sup 185/ resulting from Operation Hardtack, and the accuracy of pot samplers for sample collection. Data from other collection stations were also analyzed for consistency… more
