Observations on the Radiation Decomposition of Some C14 LabeledCompounds

Description: Varying amounts of radiation decomposition during storage in the dry form have been found in the cases of C{sup 14}-labeled valine, norvaline, norleucine, choline chloride, calcium glycolate and cholesterol. These data indicate that investigators using labeled organic compounds should make frequent checks of the purity of these compounds in order to exclude the possibility of the presence of decomposition products.

REACTOR ENGINEERING DIVISION QUARTERLY REPORT FOR MARCH 1, 1953 THROUGH MAY 31, 1953

Description: Power Breeder Reactor. Conceptual design studies for the Power Breeder Reactor indicate the feasibility of a contained primary coolant system in a package arrangement. One- and two-group calculations are presented in detail for preliminary PBR estimations. A technique for impregnating UO/sub 2/ with NaK has been developed. The resulting putty-type fuel was successfully extruded tbrough a 3/8-in. hole. Data are presented on the fuel element design factors imposed by heat transfer and cooling lim… more

Caustic Treatment of Zircon in the Preparation of Pure Zirconium Compounds

Description: From abstract: This investigation was conducted in order to develop a process whereby the most abundant zirconium ore, namely zircon, could economically be put into solution and purified adequately for use in hafnium separation processes employing liquid-liquid extraction. Secondary aims concerned the preparation of pure zirconyl chloride, zirconyl nitrate, zirconyl sulfate, and zirconium oxide from the zircon ore.
