Fractionation of Fission Products and Heavy Elements by Volatilization Methods

Description: Technical report describing the attempt to separate the long lived fission product oxides by volatilization methods. A fractionization crucible was used. The fractionations give a fair idea of the relative volatilities of the longer lived fission products and also of the degrees of separation of the plutonium oxide or oxides from the fission products.

Identification and Characterization of Shielded Isotopes in Uranium Fission

Description: Abstract: "The first shielded isotope, 34th Br-82 has been isolated in fission. Its fission yield is about 3 x 10-(-5)%. This is a direct measurement of the yield of a primary fission product and gives direct information as to the distribution of nuclear charge among primary fission fragments of given mass numbers as discussed by Glendenin and Coryell."

On the Theory of Liquid He3-He4 Mixtures

Description: The experimental investigations of the mutual perturbations of liquid He3 and He4, in mixture, while still in a somewhat preliminary stage, appear to be of great interest in supplying, eventually, important information for a better understanding of the properties of these liquids. In view of the rather fragmentary status of the theory of these liquids it seems justified to consider the behavior of mixtures of their respective asymptotic models, ideal of almost ideal Boss-Einstein (B.E.) and Fer… more

Thermal Distortion of SAR Hafnium Control Rod

Description: Abstract: The thermal distortion of a Y-shaped hafnium control rod heated by arrays of individually controlled radiation heaters was studied. The large axial and radial temperature gradients specified for this control rod were easily obtained with the radiation-heating method. The distortion, as measured with dial indicators, amounted to a 2-mil movement of the free end of the rod in the direction of the coolest blade.

The Preparation and Properties of Distilled Yttrium

Description: From abstract: "Distillation procedures used for purifying yttrium metal, producing metal containing less than 150 ppm oxygen and lower concentrations of most of the other common impurities, are discussed. Some of the physical and mechanical properties of the distilled yttrium indicate: (1) a melting point of 1510°C, (2) a solid state transformation at 1459°C obtained from high temperature resistivity data, (3) a Rockwell H hardness of 60 and (4) improved rolling and swagging characteristics."
