Aeroradioactivity Survey and Areal Geology of Parts of Southeastern New York and Southern New England (ARMS-I)

Description: Report concerning "[a]n airborne gamma-radiation survey of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and parts of New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont" (p. 5) made between 1958 and 1960 that indicated that a broad range of radioactivity exists in those areas depending on the type of bedrock. Correlations are drawn between this radioactivity and the geology of the region.

Construction of an Extended Nuclidic Mass Table

Description: A parabolic systematics approach was used to construct an extended mass table with very small deviations between the calculated and known masses. The masses were obtained from a formula parabolic in 2 after inclusion of the necessary considerations. For 763 masses, the standard deviation was 0.35 Mev, and the largest deviation was 2 Mev.

A Digital Intermittent Data Flow Magnetic Tape Recording System

Description: A unique mechanical drive system with associated transistorized circuitry has been developed to allow digital recording on magnetic tape at carrying data flow rates. The present system records on command at rates up to 40 characters per second with a packing density of 200 characters per inch. The output is on half-inch magnetic tape in a format compatible with conventional playback equipment.

A FACILITY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF Pu$sup 238$

Description: A pilot plant facility for recovering Pu and unconverted neptunium from irradinted neptunium target elements was operated for 17 months at the Savannah River Laboratory. The process required that the irradiated target elements be dissolved and the solution be processed through three anion exchange cycles for removal of undesirable fission products and cations, recovery of unconverted neptunium, and concentration of the Pu/sup 238/ solution. The process equipment was enclosed in three stainless … more

The Fixation of Caesium on Australian Minerals. Part 1, Vermiculite Minerals

Description: Samples of vermiculite from Young River, W.A., and Kingaroy, Qld., have tested for cation exchange capacity using batch and column experiments. The better material, Young River vermiculite, was given more exhaustive column tests to determine the optimum particle size and to investigate its selectivity for caesium ions in the presence of higher concentrations of competing ions. At the optimum particle size of (-30+60) B.S.S. the cation exchange capacity of Young River vermiculite was approximate… more

The Fixation of Caesium on Australian Minerals. Part 2, Zeolite Minerals

Description: Samples from possible zoolite bearing deposits have been tested for cation exchange capacity using batch and column experiments. The best material, Eagleton Quarry pink shale, was given more exhaustive column tests to determine the effect of mineral particle size, influent flowrate, and the presence of competing cations on caseium breakthrough. Diffusion of caesium ions through the mineral particle controls the ion exchange process. At the optimum size of (-30+36) B.S.S. the cation exchange cap… more
