Radiation Hazards from Recycled Reactor Fuel

Description: The radiation hazards associated with recycled nuclear reactor fuels will greatly complicate the handling and refabrication of these fuels. This problem is most serious with U-233 and plutonium fuels where the presence of U-232 and the heavier isotopes of plutonium contribute energetic alpha, gamma, and neutron radiations at levels many times that from isotopically pure U-233 and Pu-239. This report summarizes present knowledge of the radiation hazards associated with recycled fuel and the addi… more

Ultraviolet Spectrophotometric Determination of Osmium Tetroxide in CHCl3 by G. Goldstein

Description: A method was developed for the determination of osmium by measuring the absorbancy of osmium tetroxide in CHCl3. The osmium is first oxidized to the octavalent state and the osmium tetroxide which is formed is extracted selectively with CHCl3. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of OsO4 in CHCl3 has a series of absorption bands with peak absorbancies at 282. 289, 297, 304 and 312 mu, and molar absorbancy indices of 1870, 1760, 1640, 1400 and 1000, respectively. For each wavelength the optimum c… more

Metastable States of Hyperfragments and the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Λ-Hyperon

Description: "We want to point out that there is a possible method for determining the anomalous magnetic moment of the Λ from the observation of metastable states of hyperframents. There are two possible sources for the apparent difference of binding energies of a hyperfragment. One of these comes from the difference of Q values due to the decay into an excited and ground states of the residual nucleus. The other possibility will arise if there exists a metastable state of the decaying hyperfragment."

Vibration-Compacted Ceramic Fuel Elements

Description: Following is a description of what may be an invention in the art of compacting uranium dioxide (UO2) and other ceramic or cermet nuclear fuel materials for ultimate use as reactor fuel elements. Vibration of ceramic fuel materials at the resonant frequency of the metal encasing material, using high rates of acceleration, produces uniformly compacted high-density fuel elements.
