Shielding Against Gamma Rays, Neutrons, and Electrons From Nuclear Weapons: A Review and Bibliography

Description: Report discussing the problem of predicting dose rates and of estimating the effectiveness of shielding from radiations resulting from nuclear explosions. A number of calculations and supporting experiments regarding the penetration and diffusion of gamma rays, neutrons, and electrons through air and bulk materials are summarized. Indications are given of gaps in such input information. A selection of 485 references from the unclassified literature is presented, of which 388 are cataloged as to… more

Construction of a Sea-Level, Transisthmian Canal Using Nuclear Explosives

Description: Partial abstract: "This report is based: (1) on information developed in earlier high explosive experiments which determined the optimum spacing and burial depth of charges in a row to produce a channel uniformly wide and deep, and (2) on the Sedan and Danny Boy experiments, which provided data on dimensions of nuclear craters in both soil and basalt rock. This information has been combined with the 1947 route surveys of the Panama Canal company, and estimates have been made not only of the num… more

Stress Analysis of Specimens for in-Pile Creep Tests of Parabolic Graphite Beams

Description: The irradiation-induced creep of graphite is being investigated in experiments that consist of loading parabolically shaped cantilever beams at the free end and measuring the resulting deflections with time. A series of stress analyses was made to verify the applicability of the elementary strength-of- materials approach for obtaining relations between stress and creep strain from the load-deflection data. The results of the analyses, which included a theory- of-elasticity solution, an evaluati… more

A STUDY OF THE NUCLEAR REACTIONS Mg$sup 26$(p,t)Mg$sup 24$ AND Mg$sup 26$(He$sup 4$,He$sup 6$)Mg*SUP $sup 2$$sup 4$

Description: The argular distributions and spectra for the neutron pickup reactions Mg/sup 26/(p,t)Mg/sup 24/ and Mg ( alpha ,He/sup 6/)Mg/sup 24/ at 28 and 40 Mev, respectively, are compared. The equality of the ground state pickup momentum transfers at 15 deg permits a study of the relative excitations for transitions to the discrete state observed. The ground ( theta +), 1.37-Mev (2/sup +/), 4.12- 4.23 Mev (4/sup +/--2/sup +/), 5.22-Mev (3/sup +/), and 6-Mev (4/sup +/) states are compared. Unresolved str… more
