Relationships Between Burn Severity and the Simulated Thermal Pulses of Various Nuclear Weapons

Description: When burns are produced by a total radiant exposure of 5 cal/cm(sup 2), burn severity decreases with thermal pulses of longer duration. Maximum damage results from a pulse simulating that of a 20 KT weapon, the shortest pulse investigated; 40 KT and l00 KT weapon pulses show similar effects; and the 1000 KT pulse produces less damage. Burn severity is nearly the same from 10 cal/ cm(sup 2) whether the thermal pulse simulates 20 KT, 40 KT, 100 KT, or 1000 KT weapons. Less damage is caused by 10 … more

HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS WITH HYDROGEN BUBBLE CHAMBERS

Description: Recent experience with liquid hydrogen bubble chambers of 25 and 40 cm dia. in high-energy physics experiments is discussed. Experiments described are: interactions of K/sup -/ mesons with prctons, iateractions of antiprotons with protons, catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions by muons, and production and decay of hyperons from negative pions.

Shielding Studies on Salt Slabs, Gadolinium, and Water

Description: A lid-tank shielding facility, simular to the one in operation at Oak Ridge, has been constructed and is in operation at Battelle. This facility was descnibed in BMI-1291. The fast-neutron and gamma dose rates and thermalneutron fluxes were mapped in a symmetry plane of the shielding tank. Fast-neutron and gamma dose rates were raeasured behind a series of shielding plugs along a line in the water perpendicular to the fission-plate center. The plug materials included aluminum, iron, lead, titan… more
