First Quarterly Report on the Reductions of Uranium Oxides

Description: The preliminary results of a program designed to evaluate methods for preparing uranium hydride from the various oxides of uranium are presented. The apparatus has been designed and constructed for the purpose of carrying out batch reductions under a variety of conditions employing calcium hydride, calcium metal and magnesium metal as the reducing agents. Since the separation of the alkaline earth oxides, present as by-products in the furnace products, promises to be the most difficult problem … more

RDA DC-6 -- Design criteria for reactor water plant at Coyote Rapids site. Instruction letter number 1

Description: The design will be based on one reactor with a potential capacity of 1,300 megawatts. For the time being this reactor will be designated ``X``. The water plant will be designed to supply 100,000 gpm initially. The design shall provide, however, for the ultimate capacity of 140,000 gpm; i.e., underground process piping, space in river pump house, and other items which would be difficult to enlarge after initial construction, will be sized for the ultimate capacity and provision shall be made for… more
