Plutonium Oxalate Disk Filter and Filter Media Studies

Description: Presently rotary drum filters are being used for plutonium oxalate slurry filtration in the 234-5 Building. Changing of the filter cloth used on a rotary drum is a time consuming operation which involves ever increasing radiation exposure to maintenance personnel. Consequently, studies were conducted in the 321 Building on a disk type filter which could be adapted for simple and quick ("one-nut") replacement of the filter medium.

3 Plant Radiation Study Interim Report #5- Part II Data on Gamma Shielding of Special Plutonium Samples

Description: The calculation of shielding the thickness for plutonium is complicated by the many different energies represented in the gamma radiation emitted during decay of the plutonium isotopes. Dose rate predictions are also frequently confused by gamma from varying content of fission product impurities in the plutonium, as well as other gamma radiation induced through alpha and neutron particle absorption within the source material or its environment. After assumptions are made for these many factors… more

Notes on Lattice Parameter Calculations

Description: In the last two or three years there has been a notable improvement in the knowledge and understanding of reactor lattice physics. During this interval, measurements of parameters have been improved and the methods of analysis have been greatly strengthened. It has become apparent that the classical ways for computing the lattice parameters are not sufficient. It is the purpose of this report to publish under one cover as much of the most recent information as possible.

Limitations for Existing Storage Tanks for Radioactive Wastes from Separations Plants

Description: Continued process improvements in the separation plants provide an incentive for economics in waste storage costs by utilizing existing facilities to their maximum capability consistent with the radiological hazards involved. The major improvements have reduced waste volumes resulting in increased fission product concentration and energy potential. Analyses have been made to determine the effect of this change on the integrity of the existing structures.

On the Crystal Chemistry of Salt Hydrates, III. The Determination of the Crystal Structure of FeSO4·7H2O (Melanterite)*

Description: Monoclinic FeSO4·7H2O is the stable solid phase between -1.82° and 56.6° C in contact with a saturated water solution of FeSO4. It occurs in nature as an oxidation product of Fe-containing sulfides an is called melanterite. FeSO4·7H2O belongs to a series of compounds Me2+SO4·nH2O, where Mn2+ is a cation with an approximate ionic radius of 0.7Å. The 1-, 4- and 5-hydrates are known to crystalize each in only one form, whereas the hexa- and the heptahydrates occur both in two different forms. The … more

The Present Experimental and Theoretical Status of the Problem of Electron Ejection in the Alpha Decay of Po210

Description: The experimental measurements of electron ejection in Po210 decay are discussed, and the theory of the process is outlined. The order-of-magnitude discrepancy between theory and experiment which was evident a decade ago has not yet been definitively resolved. The discrepancy is ascribed to an inadequacy of the theory, in particular to the use of an asymptotic expansion in that theory. Brief mention is made of some very recent unpublished calculations by G. W. Schaefer in which a reasonable esti… more

Rare Gas Isotope Contents in Mineral Fractions of the Indarch Meteorite

Description: We have measured the rare gas isotopes in mineral concentrates of the Indarch meteorite. We obtained samples from C. Frondel, who crushed some of the meteorite into small particles mainly in the 44 to 88 micron size. He fractionated the minerals into groups according to specific gravity, using heavy liquids and magnetic techniques. The fraction with specific gravity less than 2.4 is approximately 95% tridymite and represents about 1% of the whole stone. The fraction with specific gravity betwee… more

A Proposed Mechanism and Method of Correlation for Convective Boiling Heat Transfer with Liquid Metals

Description: An additive, interacting mechanism of micro and macro-convective heat transfer is proposed to represent boiling heat transfer with net vapor generation to saturated liquid metals in convective flow. Based on this mechanism, a method for calculating boiling coefficients is developed. The correlating is shown to be in fair agreement with early experimental results for convective boiling of potassium and sodium.

The Simultaneous Labeling of Cells in Different Segments of the Mitotic Cycle with Tritiated Thymidine and Colchicine and the Effect of Colchicine on Thymidine Uptake

Description: Treatment of Pisum root meristems with nutrient solutions containing tritiated thymidine (H3-T) and colchicine simultaneously labeled cells in two different segments of the mitotic cycle. Tracings of the serial progression of these differently labeled cells through mitosis resembled sine-cosine curves. When the labeled cells are in interphase the sign of the curves is negative, when they are in mitosis the sign is positive. The concept of the mitotic cycle in terms of trigonometric functions wa… more

Effects of Chronic Excess Salt Ingestion: Possible Implications of the Accelerated Induction of Experimental Hypertension by 2,4-Dinitrophenol

Description: Recently, we reported that the administration of the thyroid hormone, L-triiodothyronine (T3), markedly accelerated the development of experimental hypertension associated with a high-salt intake in intact rate. Earlier, Selye and his associates and Masson, Corcoran, and Page has observed a similar effect from thyroxin in uninephrectomized salt-fed rats. We were aware of the fact that oxidative phosphorylation is uncoupled by the thyroid hormone and were intrigued by the possibility that such u… more

The Effect of Mitotic Cycle Duration on Chromosome Breakage in Meristematic Cells of Pisum Sativum

Description: One of the more apparent differences between acute and chronic irradiation is that exposure in the former is generally confined to a small fraction of a single mitotic cycle while in the latter; exposure of mitotically active tissue usually involves at least several cycles. Because of this difference, the number of cells in each stage of interphase would be of primary importance in acute radiation experiments since radiosensitivity is not the same in the G1, S and G2 periods. The duration of th… more

Gene Structure: Genetic Fine Structure. Remarks.

Description: Though only recently established, this concept has been developing for a long time. More than thirty years ago Dubinin, Serebrovsky, and other, investigating the phenotypes of a number of "achaete-scute" alleles of Drosophilia melanogaster, found that the alleles could be arranged in a definite series accoding to bristle patters, and also that the heterozygotes lacked only those bristles which were affected in common by both participating alleles. They concluded that the serial classification o… more

On the Generation of an Arbitrarily Autocorrelated Sequence of Random Variables from a Sequence of Independent Random Numbers

Description: For a wide range of statistical experiments, we require a sequence of random variables [unintelligible], which have prescribed mean values μn and variances σn2, with a given autocorrelation ρt. The [unintelligible] are to be generated as a sequence of real functions of independent random numbers [unintelligible], each of which is uniformly distributed in. The reason for this choice of specification for the [unintelligible] is that most computers have standard subroutines which generate such uni… more

Preparation and Some Properties of Krypton Difluoride

Description: The compound KrF4 was prepared by Grosse et al. by passing an electric discharge through the elements at -196°C. Evidence for formation of KrF2 has been obtained by Pimental and Turner by UV irradiation of the elements frozen into an inert gas matrix at 20°K. Using an electron beam to irradiate krypton and fluorine at -150°C, we have prepared KrF2 in 100mg amounts and examined some of its properties.
