Mound Laboratory Liquid Waste Disposal Research Quarterly Report for April - June, 1950

Description: The following report is a quarterly report conducted by the Monsanto Chemical Company for liquid waste disposal research, covering the period April through June, 1950. This report discusses experiments that were carried out with both neutralized second-cycle wastes and pure isotope which show that, in general, the presence of fluoride ion does not interfere with the removal of fission products from waste solutions.

Low Pass Filters For Telemetering Applications

Description: With exacting requirements imposed upon the operation of the subchannel modulators used in the FM-FM telemetering system, it became necessary to obtain a filter suitable for use in conjunction with the subcarrier oscillators in order that the desired distortion level could be effectively maintained. This paper describes, both theoretically and practically, a filter which was found to satisfactorily fill the required specifications.

A Solvent Extraction Method for Neptunium (237) Analysis

Description: Technical report describing a rapid and quantitative radiochemical method for the analysis of neptunium (237). This method is based on the extraction of neptunium (IV) with thenoyl-trifluoracetone in xylene. Neptunium (237) is separated free from other alpha emitters and from non-radioactive interferences, and the method may be readily adapted to remote control. [From Abstract]
