Magnetic Field Distributions in a Pinched Discharge

Description: By use of small magnetic probes inserted into the discharge, the magnetic field distributions in the interior of a high-power pinched discharge have been measured as a function of time. From these data the current distributions can be deduced. By applying a static pressure calculation, in the cases when the radical pinch accelerations are small, the plasma pressure nkT in the pinch has been determined, with superimposed axial magnetic fields, and for stable and unstable configurations.

Critical Masses of Oralloy Lattices Immersed in Water

Description: Certain oralloy (Oy) lattices were immersed in infinite water for determining critical masses at various low-Oy densities. Three Oy unit sizes were used. In a broad sense the experiment shows safe and unsafe conditions for handling heterogeneous Oy-water mixtures.

The Effect of Gallium on Plutonium Assay

Description: Several of the plutonium assay methods were reexamined as part of a continuing effort to make improvements in these frequently used analyses. This investigation included a study of the controlled-potential coulometric, amperometric, potentiometric, and photometric titration methods and their applications to assays of delta-stabilized and alpha plutonium metal.
