High Explosive Crater Studies: Tuff

Description: Abstract: "Spherical charges of TNT, each weighing 256 pounds, were exploded at various depths in tuff to determine apparent crater dimensions in a soft rock. No craters were obtained for depths of burst equal to or greater than 13.3 feet. It was deduced that rock fragments were sufficiently large that charges of greater magnitude should be employed for crater experiments intended as models of nuclear explosions."

High Temperature Heat Utilization in Industry

Description: Introduction: The United States Atomic energy Commission has guided the development of nuclear reactors for commercial applications for over a decade. the three most important development areas for industrial applications at the present time are for use in electric power generation, for productions of low temperature process steam, and for the supply of high temperature heat to manufacturing processes.

The Lepton Decay Nodes of Hyperons

Description: "In spite of the present scarcity of experimental data it appears likely that the lepton modes of hyperon decay will eventually become an important source of information concerning strangeness-changing weak interactions. In this paper we use dispersion relations to estimate the effect of intermediate meson states upon the lepton decay modes of hyperons."

Martensite In CU-12.0% AL Alloy

Description: Thin foils suitable for transmission electron microscopy have been prepared from bulk specimens of Cu-12.0% Al alloy quenched from 800' C to produce martensite. The martensitic structure consists of long lenticular plates which are twinned on 20-50A scale. The twin planes in the martensite are shown to be [formula]. There is evidence that this structure is ordered as expected for a transformation from an ordered parent lattice. Experiments using a high temperature stage show that the decomposit… more

Power Tests for PRT Reactor

Description: Startup and testing of the PRTR has been divided into three parts, Design Tests, Critical Tests and Power Tests. This document is the third of the series and describes the performance tests which will be made under nuclear power and the general schedule of operation. Responsibility for the startup of the reactor has been assigned to the PRTR Startup Council. The Power Test Sub-Council, which has done the planning of the initial power operation, was established by the Startup Council. Operation … more

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Antofagasta Area, Province of Antofagasta, Chile

Description: Abstract: The Antofagasta area, in the Province of Antofagasta, Chile, was investigated in September and August 1958 by two field parties of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the Instituto de Investigaciones Geológicas de Chile, who were working under a cooperative agreement between the teo governments. the purpose of the investigation was to examine the area for the possible occurrence of commercial deposits of uranium.

Instrumentation Of Multi-Channel Counting Experiments

Description: Recent experience in instrumentation of several nuclear-physics experiments has demonstrated the feasibility of automating the data-acquisition phases of the experiment. Electronic circuits are employed wherever the rate of data flow would be slowed by the use of human operations. Information is selected, temporarily stored, and then recorded in a form suitable for immediate entry into a computer. Experimenters thus freed from the tedious aspects of data collection can devote their time to stud… more

Electrical Limitations To Energy Resolution In Semiconductor Particle Detectors

Description: Based on the assumption that the noise contribution of a semiconductor detector is due solely to the bulk properties of the semiconductor, equations are presented which indicate the theoretical limits of noise in detector-amplifier combinations. These equations show that an optimum amplifier time constant and detector bias voltage exist for which condition the minimum noise is independent of the semiconductor resistivity. The optimum performance of a detector-amplifier system is shown to depend… more
