Geologic and Radiometric Reconnaissance Along the San Juan and Colorado Rivers Between Mexican Hat, Utah, and Lees Ferry Arizona

Description: Abstract: Ten days were spent during June 1955, examining the sedimentary rocks along the San Juan and Colorado Rivers between Mexican Hat, Utah, and Lee's Ferry, Arizona. The most favorable area for uranium deposits occurs in the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation between Clay Hills Crossing and Spencer Camp along the San Juan River. Mineralization is spotty and deposits are small and almost all below ore-grade. Only one small mine, the Whirlwind, is currently producing ore. Gray-green a… more

High-Energy Electron Scattering and the Charge Distribution of Selected Nuclei

Description: Experimental results are presented of electron scattering by Ca, V, Co, In, Sb, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Bi, Th, and U, at 183 Mev and (for some of the elements) at 153 Mev. For those nuclei for which asphericity and inelastic scattering are absent or unimportant, i.e., Ca, V, Co, In, Sb, Au, and Bi, a partial wave analysis of the Dirac equation has been performed in which the nuclei are represented by static, spherically symmetric charge distributions. Smoothed uniform charge distributions have been ass… more

The Equation of State of Water on the Thomas-Fermi Model

Description: Two methods are described for extending the Thomas-Fermi model of a compressed atom to molecules or mixtures of the type Z Zn. The methods are applied to H2O at zero temperature to determine pressure and internal energy as functions of the density, the position of the protons relative to the oxygen nucleus, and the electrostatic potential distribution within the molecule.

Media for Air Cleaning and Air-Assay Purposes : Final Summary Report for Period Ending December 31, 1954

Description: Work was completed on the high-temperature, high efficiency air filter. Technical assistance was given at a large-scale, privately financed run of an all-glass medium. Full-size filers have been produced in quantity and are offered by manufacturers; it is considered that commercial manufacture has been established. A survey was made of air sampling practices at 37 laboratories. Analysis of the survey results indicated that 22 different kinds of air-sampling filer media were in use among the lab… more

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Graphite Plates with Hydrogen Coolant

Description: "This note presents the results of a parametric study of heat-generating graphite plates with hydrogen coolant flowing through constant area passages. The heat generation within the graphite was assumed to have a distribution that allowed the centerline temperature of the plates to remain constant at 5000 F. The parametric variables were the mass flow rate per unit area, plate thickness, plate length, and passage hydraulic diameter. The machine calculations were coded by Ivan Cherry, T-1."

Corrosion in Hydrogen Sulfide - Water Systems

Description: From abstract: "This report gives a detailed account of the corrosion test work carried out by the Engineering Research Laboratory on the behavior of materials of construction in the hydrogen sulfide-water system. Results developed during the period from October 1950 through November 1954 are included."

Stress Analysis of the SRP Reactor Tank

Description: From abstract: "Equations are derived from the discontinuity stress in a cylindrical tank that is mounted vertically on a header and is open at the top. The analysis includes a derivation of equations for the prediction of the deflection and slope of the header by relating the strain energy in bending a circular plate to the strain energy in bending the header. The stresses that result from pressure and temperature are included in the analysis."

Nondestructive Measurement of the Uranium Content Uranium-Aluminum Alloys

Description: From abstract: "An instrument is described which measures the uranium content of a 0.080-inch thick plate of uranium-aluminum alloy. The content is measured by gamma-ray transmission to an accuracy of +/- 0.0006 gram per square centimeter over the range of 0.085 to 0.115 gram per square centimeter of contained uranium."
