The Significance of Urine Uranium Excretion Data

Description: Abstract: Urine uranium excretion data for persons exposed to uranium by inhalation are analyzed Data from both chronic and single massive exposures are included, and a generalized excretion pattern, applicable to any uranium compound absorbed by inhalation, is proposed. ...It is shown that it is not usually practical to use urine samples to monitor individual exposures. Such an evaluation is possible only with a suitable series of samples collected at known intervals past the exposure. It … more

The Calculation of Some Bessel Functions for Criticality Problems

Description: Abstract: An easy to use method for evaluating Bessel functions is given. This method is applicable to the one-dimensional, 2-group, 2-region diffusion problem, and is designed primarily for use on a small or medium sized digital computer. ...FORTRAN programs based on this method are presented together with the output obtained from an IBM-1620 digital computer.

Filters to Provide Nearly Monoenergetic X-Rays

Description: Abstract: Four filters for use with a 250 KVP pulsating X-ray machine were constructed to calibrate radiation detection instruments in the energy region below 200 KEV. Approximately monoenergetic beams of 63, 105, 150, and 180 KEV were produced. The spectral distribution was computer suing the formula of Kulenkampff. The energies were found to drop rapidly from the peak values. The average values were checked from absorption curves obtained experimentally and found to deviate from the computed … more

Energy Absorption Spectrum in Air of Cosmic Ray Mu Mesons at Sea Level

Description: Abstract: "The energy absorption spectrum of cosmic ray mu mesons at sea level was inferred from the omnidirectional momentum, the latter being obtained from the directional intensities of muons in various energy intervals at zenith angles of 0, 30, 60, and 68 degrees. ...From the energy absorption spectrum, a sea level muon dose rate of 2.23 microrads per hour was determined. This is consistent with measurements of the total cosmic dose rate."

Preliminary Data on Fallout From the Fall 1961 USSR Test Series: Staff Report

Description: From introduction: "Following the USSR announcement of its intention to resume testing, arrangements were made for the three stations collecting individual rainfall samples to begin analyses for short-lived nuclides. Some of the data are now available and are reported here." From Data: "The available data, including samples for Houston, Texas and Louisville, Kentucky are given in the tables at the end of this report."

The Effect of Noise on Pulse Height Resolution

Description: Report wherein "[a] statistical study of base line fluctuations is used to relate noise measurements with the resolution spread of a pulse height analysis system. The resolution is inversely proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio. The proportionality constant is derived on the basis of a normal amplitude distribution for noise. A review of noise measuring techniques is given and adapted for use with electronic voltmeters. The form factors required to interpret meter readings in terms of the … more

Survey of Fallout Operations

Description: From Abstract: "The Laboratory has made a survey of fallout operations in the various countries of the world. The source of information has largely been the reports submitted to UNSCEAR forwarding data for their consideration. The abstracts are given in order of type of operation as shown in the table of contents."
