Hydrologic and Tracer Studies in Mohawk River at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory

Description: Preface: In 1948, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, initiated a study of the hydraulics and hydrology of Mohawk River in the vicinity of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) near Schenectady, N.Y. The purpose of this study was to determine the probable effects of release of low concentrations of radioactive wastes from the Laboratory to Mohawk River.

The Chattanooga Shale of Tennessee as a Source of Uranium: Final Report

Description: From major objective: The over-all aim of the study has been to obtain a thorough geologic picture of the Chattanooga shale in the area under consideration, with emphasis upon stratigraphic relationships and associated special problems from which, in turn, implications may be obtained as to the origin and age of the formation and possibly the source of the uranium. The study has not been aimed primarily at exploration for uranium and its economic aspects.

Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor Study [Part 1]: Phase 1 Report

Description: From preface: This report covers Phase I of the authorized work, consisting of determination of the specific reactor concept and size for the most economic reactor, preparation of a reference design of the most promising concept and estimated capital and generating costs, evaluation of the variations in cost as a function of unit size, and evaluation of the reductions in ultimate costs for a power station having multiple units of the same type.

Kinetics of the Alkylation and Acylation of Nickel Dipivaloyimethide

Description: Abstract: A study was made of the reactions of nickel dipivaloyimethide with the following reagents: tirphenylmethyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, [rho]-chloro and [rho]-methyl benzoyl chloride. Infrared spectra of the easily hydrolyzed product of tritylation seem to indicate that enol ether, the product of O-alkylation, is formed. the acyl halides reactor to give the triketones. the latter have been characterized by spectra and C, H, analysis. the kinetics of all the reactions studied were … more

Main Unit Heat Rate Tests Section 1 Second Performance

Description: With the main unit operating at steady state conditions, data was taken to determine heat rate and the performance of various turbine auxiliaries. The test was repeated at various power levels in order to determine the heat rate as a function of the load. Data was obtained for this test on June 11, 1958 through June 12, 1958 and on September 9, 1958.

Zone Refining and Chemical Analysis of KCI and KBr Progress Report

Description: Upon initiation of our alkali halide purification program, we desired an accurate and complete chemical analysis of representative samples of the best salt commercially available. It was concluded that the most sensitive and probably most nearly complete technique is that provided by neutron activation.

The Imaginary Part of the Optical Potential

Description: Cross sections have been calculated under the assumption that pair correlations for low excited states of nuclear matter are the same as those formed in the ground state. The dependence of the effective mass on the single particle momentum has been taken into consideration using an empirical solution which reproduces the present assumptions for the single particle spectrum.

Measurement of the Equilibrium Concentration of Lattice Vacancies in Aluminum

Description: In the present work still more precise measurements were made for high purity aluminum during heating and cooling in the temperature range between 229°C and the melting point of 660°C. Aluminum was chosen because it is a cubic metal, has a relatively low melting point and evaporation rate, may be obtained in high purity form, and may be readily converted into single crystals. It appears that this method may be sufficiently precise to serve as a tool for investigating point defects in many subst… more

Measurements of the High Temperature Electrical Resistance of Aluminum: The Resistivity of Lattice Vacancies

Description: Now that lattice vacancy-type defects have been identified as the predominant thermally-generated defects in aluminum and that their equilibrium concentrations at different temperatures have been determined, measurements of other physical properties of metals influenced by these lattice defects at these temperatures acquire renewed interest. Comparatively few well-established high temperature data of sufficiently high accuracy have been reported. Moreover, the principal difficulty in the interp… more
