AN ALPHA COUNTER FOR UNIFORMITY MEASUREMENTS

Description: An ionization-type alpha counter is used to mensure the uniformity of thin coatings of alpha -emitting materials to plus or minus l% exclusive of statistical error. The (n, alpha ) reaction allows the counter to be used for measuring the uniformity of B/sup 10/ foils when a suitable neutron source is provided. (auth)

THE ECONOMICS AND HAZARD POTENTIAL OF WASTE DISPOSAL

Description: The two most important considerations in the disposal of radioactive wastes are safety and economy. All other steps in the waste disposal complex must be tuned to accomplish these two goals. In general, the hazardous waste in the nuclear power complex affect the cost of the nuclear power reactor fuel cycle, the general environment since disposal must exclude radioactivity from the environment for over 500 years, the costs and/or methods of waste treatment including fission product utilization, … more

The Effect of D20 on Survival of Mice with Ascites Tumor

Description: The effect of deuterium oxide (D{sub 2}O) on the survival of mice inoculated with Ehrlich's mouse ascites tumor has been studied. Mice maintained on 25% and 30% D{sub 2}O drinking water showed an improved survival time of about 6 days whereas 40% D{sub 2}O drinking water had no effect on survival time. The effect is interpreted in terms of inhibition of tumor cell division and systemic toxicity.

The Fast Oxide Breeder-the Fuel Cycle

Description: The development of a fast breeder fuel cycle based on a core fuel consisting of mixed dioxides of uranium and plutonium is described. Process flowsheets, material balances, operating schedules, cost schedules, and a plant layout are presented, and the laboratory- and plant-scale process and equipment demonstrations are described. A cost estimate based on a demonstration of the process including the unique plant equipment gives a total fuel cycle cost of 2.04 mils/kw-hr and a net fuel cycle cost… more

Grain Refinement of Cast Uranium by Heat Treatment

Description: The thermal cycling, irradiation behavior, and fabrication characteristics of U are strongly dependent upon grain size; a smaller grain size yields the better properties. Grain refinement of cast U may be accomplished either by hot working in the high alpha temperature range or by heat treatment; refinement by the latter method was the object of this investigation. The variables studied were time, temperature, specimen size, multiple quenching, and alphaannealing after quenching. The results of… more

Low Cross-Section Iron-Base Alloys

Description: Data are presented on the mechanical properties of iron-silicon and iron- aluminum alloys in the range 0 to 14% Si and about 8% aluminum. The effect of third elements on ductility is discussed, and data are prcsented which indicate that it is not possible to obtain a disordered structure in Fe--Si a1loys from 8 to 14% Si. It is concluded that alloys of iron with 6 to 8% aluminum offer a promising base composition for development of low neutron cross section alloys for use in nuclear reactors. (… more

The Luminescence of Chlorophyll-Containing Plant Material

Description: The luminescence of various chlorophyll-containing plant materials has been investigated under a variety of conditions. The results have been shown to be consistent with a mechanism involving the recombination of electrons and holes trapped in a quasi-crystalline lattice. Some details of such a mechanism have been proposed which suggest the mode of entry of the light energy into the photosynthetic pathway.
