14-Year 113Cd

Description: The half lives of Cd/sup 113m/ and Cd/sup 115m/ have been redetermined to be 14 sintering time 2 years and 44.2 sintering time 0.5 days, respectively. The ratio of Cd/sup 113m/Cd/sup 115m/ yields from thermal-neutron fission of U/sup 235/ is 0.27 sintering time 0.03, and the ratio of (n, ) formation cross sections is 0.31 sintering time 0.03. Combination of these ratios with literature values for the Cd/sup 115m/ fission yield and (n, ) formation cross section gives (1.9 sintering time 0.2) x 1… more

Absorption of Organic Acids on Thoria

Description: The adsorption of acetic and oleic acids on the surface of thoria was studied by means of infrared spectroscopy. An infrared analysis of the adsorbates before and after adsorption using differential double bean methods indicated that the adsorption of organic acids on thoria surfaces occurs by an esterification reaction between the organic acid and the hydroxylated thoria surface. Ammonia vapor will not adsorb on thoria, indicated the basic character of the hydroxylated surface.

Application of Heavy Media Separation, Flotation and Carbonate Leaching to Congo Ores

Description: The investigation of magnesitic-dolomite uranium ores from Union Miniere du Haute Katanga, Belgian Congo, was undertaken in order to examine the possibility of separating the uranium minerals from the carbonate minerals by Heavy Media Separation or froth flotation; thus reducing the sulfuric acid consumption during the uranium leach. In addition, the effect of carbonate leaching the whole ore and carbonate flotation products was examined.

Attempted Modification of Susceptibility of Tumors to X-Radiation : Final Report for August 1 1957 to August 31, 1959

Description: Attempts to secure a high degree of synchronization of cell division of the Krebs mouse ascites carcinoma, by combined use of aminopterin and citrovorum factor, and by use of colchicine and N-acetyl colchinol, were unsuccessful. In the course of the work, a new method for securing smears of ascites tumor cells was out, which we believe will be found useful

Behavior of Polyvalent Metallic Ions in 100% Acetic Acid Reactions of Rare Earth Compounds in Acetic Acid

Description: "The solution of a polymeric oxide such as a rare earth oxide in protonic solvents such as acetic acid may be regarded as a steo-wise process involving rupture of Ln-O-Ln linkages, to form "hydroxyacetates" of varying molecular size and complexity. Intermediate oxo-hydroxo-brdiges aggregates could therefore be formed by solvolysis processes. Further reaction with acetic acid could effect dehydration of such "hydroxyacetates", to yield oxo-bridged acetates, Ln2O(OAc).

Boundary Disturbances in High Explosive Shock Tubes

Description: Abstract: High Velocity disturbance are observed to propagate in advance of the plane shock front along the walls of a high-explosive-operated shock tube. Experiments were performed which indicate that the disturbance proceeds at a constant velocity relative to the shock front, and carries a considerable amount of energy as evidenced by its ability to penetrate metal plates. The velocity of a similar disturbance observed along a rod placed on the axis of the shock tube normal to the plane shoc… more

Bulk Properties of Stables Isotopes as a Probe for Liquid-State and Solid-State Investigations

Description: "The availability of certain isotopes in bulk has made possible some new studies in solid- and liquid-state physics. Initial studies on lithium are described, the differences in lattice constant, bulk density, electric resistivity, thermoelectric force, and melting point for Li/sup 6/, Li/sup 7/, and natural Li beieng compared."

Calculation of the G Factor for Gas Scattering Experiments

Description: The "G factor'' relating the yield to the beam intensity, target density, and scattering cross section is calculated for several types of aperture boundaries. The case of a front aperture composed of two parallel edges of infinite height with a rear aperture of any shape is calculated up to terms in the fourth derivative of the cross section. (W.D.M.)

Control Rod Positions for Criticality. Section II. Fourth Performance. Test Results DL-S-149 (T-550130)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine critical bank heights and bank worths for various rod configurations at normal plant operating temperature and pressure. The critical bank heights and bank worths were determined for various rod configurations after 560 EFPH's of reactor operations are charted in the report.

Department of Chemical Engineering Progress Report for September 1, 1957 Through June 30, 1958. Part I. Thermal Conductivity of Deuterium Oxide

Description: The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with l… more

Determination of Coefficients of Reactivity. Test Results DL-S-151 (T-550132). Section I. Fourth Performance

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the temperature and pressure coefficients of reactivity at sere power. The value for the temperature coefficient at the operating temperature of 523 F with 556.6 EFPH plant operation was 2.5 (delta E/F) x 16(-4). The magnitude of the temperature coefficient at the plant operating temperature (523 F) indicated the reactor is very stable during normal operations. The pressure coefficient varied from values of 1.41(deltaE/psig) x 10(-6) at 1437 psig to a.57… more

Extensive Air Showers at Sea Level

Description: This thesis is concerned with an experiment that formed part of the M.I.T. air shower investigations carried out at Harvard University's Agassiz Station, Harvard, Massachusetts. The main purpose of this experiment was the determination of the size (total number of particles) and zenith-angle distribution at sea level of extensive air showers. From this information it is possible to determine with good accuracy the size, orientation, and core location of each shower that was recorded.
