Analysis of the Moon's Surface by Nuclear Reactions

Description: Introduction. With the imminence of non-destructive landings of small instrumented payloads on the moon, many suggestions are being put forth as to methods of analyzing its surface. It is the purpose of this report to present a body of information which, it is hoped, will be useful in examining the feasibility of an early nuclear experiment to determine the elemental constituents of the lunar surface. The reasons for considering a nuclear approach is that it may be possible to perform an analys… more

Anion exchange flow sheets and equipment for recovery of Task I filtrates

Description: The filtrate stream from the precipitation--filtration step of the Button Line process must be recycled to recovery operations to reclaim residual plutonium. Present practice is to transfer the filtrates to Recuplex, concentrate by a factor of 6 to 10, and blend into the feed stream for solvent extraction purification. Limited tankage is available for solution storage. Interruption of Recuplex operations necessitates termination of operations in the precipitation-filtration steps and other Butt… more

The Application of Wax Laps to Vibratory Polishers

Description: From introduction: "In this paper the adaptation of the wax lab surface vibratory polisher is described. The wax lap requires little maintenance during the life of the lap. It is not necessary to remove any of the holding devices on the bowl to clean and recondition the lap. The bowl is merely washed out, recharged and placed in operation. The wax lap will not wrinkle or tear, nor is it necessary to change it each day such as the silk or nylon cloths."

The Argonne 60-IN. Scattering Chamber

Description: The 60-in. scattering chamber used with the external beam of the Argonne 60-in. cyclotron is described. The scattering chamber permits operation over an angular range from 4 deg to 176 deg with an accuracy of plus or minus 3 min. of arc. The geometrical factors involved in the measurement of cross sections are known to plus or minus 0.1% or better. The angular positions of the detectors, the target changer, and an absorber foil system in front of the detection units are operated by remote contr… more

ARMY REACTORS PROGRAM ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING OCTOBER 31, 1962

Description: ; 8 7 < 8 < : : : 6 9 9 = < 9 < : 5 < > ;" icipation in the program continued to include review, inspection, and support in various areas of reactor technology. An advanced fuel irradiation test program was established that is to be conducted in the pressurized-water loop in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor. Review of the design of the MH-1A reactor was initiated. This reactor, a pressurized-water system fueled with low- enrichment bulk UO/sub 2/ clad with stainless steel, is being designed as a … more

An Assessment of Certain Avenues of Improvement for Nuclear Desalination Technology

Description: From the questions which have been asked, I gather that I am expected to bring you the news of the latest exciting developments in desalination at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. However, the agenda for this meeting does not include reports of unfinished investigations; moreover, although there are some new ideas afoot at Oak Ridge, they are aimed toward the very large stations which are somewhat beyond the scope of the more current interests represented here. So instead of presenting new de… more

The Atomic Photoelectric Effect at High Energies

Description: There has been a revival of interest over the last few years in the theory of the high energy photoelectric effect. this problem has been especially clarified by the work of Pratt. Others have also contributed as will be noted below. In particular these workers have shown that the formula for photoelectric absorption of hard gamma rays by the two K electrons of an atom, which is often quoted in the literature, is too large for heavy elements by a factor amounting to approximately 2 for Pb. It t… more
