Neutron fluence map for the rotating target neutron source

Description: Nine nickel, niobium, and gold dosimetry foils incorporated in a neutron irradiation experiment at the Rotating Target Neutron Source (RTNS) facility were analyzed to construct a three-dimensional neutron fluence map. The purpose of the map was to determine the exact neutron fluences received by several pure element specimens irradiated for helium generation studies. However, the map alone provides the most detailed profile yet obtained of the RTNS neutron fluence distribution at the highest fl… more

Report for ad hoc committee on status and trends in bioassay of inhaled heavy elements by photon counting

Description: This report focuses on detectors for the assessment of inhaled heavy radioactive elements. Currently, phoswich detectors are the most prevalent type of detectors in use for assessing lung depositions of heavy element low-energy photon emitters. These detectors, along with their associated instrumentation, have proven their reliability for routine monitoring. Most phoswich detector systems are capable of detecting about one-half lung burden of {sup 238}Pu or about one and one-fourth lung burdens… more

Dip coating process. Silicon sheet growth development for the large-area silicon sheet task of the low-cost silicon solar array project. Quarterly report No. 4, September 17, 1976--December 17, 1976

Description: The objective of this research program is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of producing solar cell-quality sheet silicon by coating one surface of carbonized ceramic substrates with a thin layer of large-grain polycrystalline silicon from the melt. With the present dip coating facility, pulling rates of 5 to 7 cm/min are most likely to produce layers of the crystalline quality from which high efficiency solar cells can be fabricated. At a pulling rate of 6 cm/min, it is pos… more
