An Application of Game Theory to Special Weapons Evaluation

Description: "A methed was introduced for combining the techniques of classical Lanchester theory of combat with those of game theory toward the end of selecting optimal strategies in combat with special weapons. In the application of this method to the example in which only the defender had atomic weapons,. it was shown that the attacker always chose either to disperse his troops the maximum amount or not to disperse his troops at all. The defender always chose to employ a mixed strategy consisting of the … more

Electrolytic Reduction of Thorium Oxide

Description: From abstract: "Thorium metal has been produced by electrolytic reduction of thorium oxide. Reduction was accomplished in both a KF-ThF4 melt and a NaCl-KCl-ThCl4 melt. A flowsheet for the complete process using the fused fluoride system is proposed."

Examination of Donut on Rupture Slug No. 14

Description: Pursuant to Dr. Kingdon's request for specific information concerning the donut pictured on pages 26-29 of WAPD-64, a close examination of this defect on Failure No. 14 was made. The slug was examined through 10 inches of Pb-glass and photographs were made. A clay impression of the surface area containing the donut was obtained, and using this impression, an Armstrong's Adhesive replica of this can wall surface area was cast.

Fission Fragment Ionization and Electrical Power Production

Description: "A reactor concept is discussed consisting of parallel plates, spaced with a gap equal to plate thickness with a 2.0 v potential available across the gap. Fissions are assumed to take place in a mixture of U and Ar gas between the plates. The operating scheme is as follows: U fissions in the gas; the fission fragment energy is almost all absorbed by ionization of the gas, leading to a high ion pair density in the gas; positive and negative particles are swept out of the gas by the 2.0 v field, … more

Location of Uranium Occurrences in Southcentral Wyoming and Northwestern Colorado

Description: "The principal uranium deposits in southcentral Wyoming and north-western Colorado are located in or at the margins of broad Tertiary basins. Interesting and possibly commercially significant occurrences are found in other Tertiary and older rocks at widely separated locations within this region. The six maps accompanying this report give the location, name, and ownership of the mines and occurrences from which samples assaying greater than 0.10% U3O8 have been collected. Claim names, location,… more

Notes on the Relationship of Uranium Mineralization and Rhyolite in the Marysvale Area, Utah

Description: From abstract: A study, consisting of field and laboratory work, was undertaken in an endeavor to establish possible structural mineralization controls associated with the copper-uranium occurrences in the Willaha area, Coconino County, Arizona. Uranium mineralization, apparent at present, is localized along small fissures and vugs and in certain beds and lenses of the middle member of the Kaibab formation(Permian). It is associated with copper and iron oxide staining. Though no definite ore co… more

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Southern Carrizo Mountains, Apache County, Arizona

Description: Purpose: A reconnaissance was conducted during parts of August and September, 1956, of an area about two miles square in the southern Carrizo Mountains where the Permian Cutler formation, including its DeChelly member, and the Triassic Shinarump member of the Chinle formation, are exposed. The purpose was to appraise the uranium potential of the area and to determine the cause of bleaching in the DeChelly. Extensive uranium mineralization in the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation around… more
