Determination of Bismuth in Plutonium-Bismuth Solutions

Description: Bismuth analytical methods were investigated for the purpose of selecting procedures which are satisfactory for the analysis of solutions containing plutonium and bismuth. The gravimetric procedure which is recommended for samples containing these two elements includes removal of the plutonium by peroxide precipitation, separation of the bismuth by precipitation with sodium carbonate, and final ignition of the bismuth as a phosphate. Necessary equipment and experimental technique are described.… more

Determination of Cadmium in Plutonium-Cadmium Solutions

Description: Determination of cadmium in plutonium-cadmium solutions was successfully accomplished by separating the plutonium as an insoluble peroxide, evaporating the solution containing the cadmium, and weighing the latter as a sulfate. with 5 t0 20 mg of cadmium and similar amounts of plutonium, the 95% confidence limits for the average of triplicate determinations was to be +- 0.3 percent of the cadmium in the sample. When samples contained as little as 5 mg of cadmium, it was necessary to correct the … more

The Relative Physiological and Toxicological Prosperities of Americium and Plutonium

Description: The relative physiological and toxicological properties of americium and plutonium have been studied following their intravenous administration to rats. The urinary and fecal excretion of americium was similar to that of plutonium administered as Pu(N03)4. The deposition of americium the tissues and organs of the rat was also similar to that observed for plutonium. The liver and the skeleton were the major sites of deposition. Zirconium citrate administered 15 minutes after injection of americi… more

The Inhour Equation for the Tuballoy Tamped Oralloy sphere

Description: Exponential rise times, T, of neutron flux in an Oy-Tu assembly have been measured for a set of points essentially equally spaced reactivity-wise in the interval between delayed and prompt critical corresponding to [infinity] > T > 5 seconds. The relationship between positive period and reactivity thus obtained is used to decide (preferentially) between two currently used but divergent collections of delayed neutron data, specifically with respect to the relative abundances of delayed neutrons … more

Energy Distribution of Fast Neutron Beam

Description: Experimental techniques are described for the spectral measurement of a collimated fast neutron beam. A hydrogen filled cloud chamber, proton recording nuclear plates, and threshold fission foils were used as neutron detectors in the measurements. As an application of the above technique, the energy distribution and absolute flux of the fast neutron beam emerging from port 5W of the Los Alamos fast rector has been measured from 0.1 Mev to 18 Mev. The result show a spectral curve possessing a ma… more

Short Period Gamma-Rays from U235 Fission Products

Description: A search for gamma-ray activities with period 1-100 msec from thermal neutron fission of U235 gave negative results. 0.43 +- 0.03 sec was the shortest observed. The period of B12 was found to be 27 +- 3 msec. The cyclotron beam was pulsed to supply 1-10 msec neutron bursts. coincidence scintillation deters were employed.
