Pyrometallurgical Purification of Plutonium Reactor Fuels

Description: Pyrometallurgical methods studied are liquation, self-drossing and filtration, slagging by the addition of oxide, carbide, or halide, liquid metal extraction, complete conversion to halide, followed by filtration and selective reduction of the plutonium, and electrorefininng. Experimental techniques and results are presented for each method. (auth)

Ion exchange properties of hydrous oxides

Description: The large class of amorphous insoluble hydrous oxides has interesting ion exchange properties. These materials have high capacities and suitable exchange rates and may therefore be used in packed columns in typical chromatographic (ion exchange) manner. Hydrous oxides may exhibit either cation exchange or anion exchange properties, or both. The type of adsorption depends on the element on which the oxide is based, on the acidity of the medium and, to some extent, on the ion adsorbed. Though som… more

Radiochemical Studies of the Fast Neutron Fission of U$sup 235$ and U$sup 238$

Description: Radiochemical studies of the fast neutron fission of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ have been made in the mass region beyond mass 143 with two neutron energy distributions. These studies provide measurements of the relative fission yields of several chains in the rare earth group in fission of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ caused by neutrons with an energy distribution very close to unmoderated fission neutrons and by neutrons with an energy distribution peaked at 8 Mev. The increased contribution of ve… more

TEST OF A DIRECT CYCLE NUCLEAR TURBOJET SYSTEM

Description: This paper discusses research and development effort on a direct-cycle air-cooled nuclear reactor and propulsion equipment. The reactor experiment was designed, constructed, and tested during the period 1953 to 1956 to prove the feasibility of operating a turbojet engine from the heat produced by an air-cooled reactor. A description is given of the reactor, turbomachinery, shielding, control system, and associated equipment used in the first propulsion system test which was run in 1956. The sys… more
