Personal Communication From A. M. Brues to Sir Lionel Whitby, Department of Medicine, University of Cambridge, July 12, 1951 - Based on Report by N. J. Scully in ANL-4625

Description: Dextran is produced in a fermentation process by a bacterium that requires sucrose for its growth, but only the glucose portion of the sucrose molecule is utilized in building up the large dextran molecule. The crude dextran solution is purified by removal of other material and partially hydrolyzed to a molecular size range required for clinical use.

Average Charge of Daughter Atoms After Beta Decay

Description: Chemical effects follow beta decay have recently been noted. In each case an increase in oxidation state of the daughter atom has been observed. The results of the studies thus far indicate that orbital electron loss accompanying beta decay is negligible.

Density Transients in Boiling Liquid Systems. Report 52-17.

Description: A program was undertaken to study the density response of a liquid-vapor system when subjected to a change in the magnitude of a distributed heat source. The density transients would be caused by the initiation, growth, and collapse of the vapor bubbles and by their travel into or out of the specified volume. The program is both analytical and experimental and the end objectives are as follows: (1) to obtain a record of the density transient associated with a change in distributed volume heatin… more

Primary Plant Control and Instrumentation. Section I. Test Results DL-S-125, T-550079

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine if the main coolant pump stator and bearing water temperature monitors and the "Primary Coolant Pump Noise Monitors" operate properly. The 1A, 1B and 1C pump bearing water temperature monitors operated satisfactorily. It is believed that the data for the 1D Bearing Water Temperature shown in Table I should be tabulated ad 1D stator temperature. This discrepancy is clarified in the note on Table I. The 1A and 1C pump stator temperature monitors operate s… more

Supplement No. 1. Projections of Costs, 1959-1975 for Nuclear-Conventional Power Plant Cost Study. Conventional Coal Fired Power Plants : 25,000 KW to 325,000 KW for Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Illinois

Description: In order to establish a basis for comparing the estimated cost of nuclear power plant designs, a set of general and detailed design considerations for conventional coal-fired power plants was established. Five preliminary designs of conventional coal-fired power plants ranging in size from 25to 325 mw were selected, and cost estimates were prepared. Supplement 1 shows a year by year projection of costs for the period 1959-1975.

The Free-Free Gaunt Factor in an Ionized Medium

Description: A study is presented of the free-free radiative scattering of electrons in the Debye screened potential. Three different approximate solutions are shown, with different solutions, in general, covering different regions of validity. For the case of greatest physical interest, that of ''small screening,'' the screened Gaunt factor is very simply related to the unscreened Gaunt factor. In particular, a simple criterion is obtained to measure the importance of screening in free-free scattering. (au… more

Feasibility of Establishing a National Burial Ground for Radioactive Waste in the Northeastern United States

Description: A search has been made within a 125-mile radius of Erie, Pennsylvania, to discover a possible site for a national land burial ground to receive and bury low and intermediate level radioactively contaminated waste. The new burial facility would serve a sixteen state section of the northeastern United States. Estimated unit burial costs and computed transportation charges indicate that a centrally located site within the section is both feasible and desirable. It will be necessary to make complet… more

Flow-Gating I : Report No. 83

Description: The simple problem occurring in a computer of transferring a zero or a one from one place to another in a selective fashion is considered by discussing the transmission of information from one Eccles-Jordan flipflop to another. It is assumed that non-overlapping voltage bands represent the zero and one signals the bands being caused by parameter drift.

An Investigation of the Reaction Between Hot Molybdenum and Liquid Oxygen. Final Report

Description: Cylindrical molybdenum samples 0.05" diameter by 5" long, 0.10" diameter by 5" long, 0.375" diameter by 4" long and 1.75" diameter by 3" long were heated in inert atmospheres to various temperatures up to 2290 F and plunged into liquid oxygen. All samples heated to temperatures below 1600 F quenched with substantially no weight loss. For high temperatures, samples up to 0.375" diameter behaved differently than the larger samples, in that once ignited they burned until completely consumed. Sampl… more

Thermoelectric Properties of the Plasma Diode

Description: It is well known that thermionic emission into vacuum is accompanied by a Peltier cooling of the vacuum metal interface. The interface may be thought of as a junction between two conductors: the metal, and an electron gas whose distribution is determined primarily by space charge. The addition of a small amount of easily ionized gas to the vacuum region does not affect the Peltier cooling of the interface, but is does squeeze the space charge region to about one micron and replaces most of the … more

The Effect of Sodium Vapor Formation on the Operation of the Enrico Fermi Reactor : an Estimate

Description: This technical report presents the results of some simplified calculations concerning the two-phase flow of sodium in the Enrico Fermi reactor. The rather large value for the specific volume of sodium vapor coupled with the resistance of the top axial blanket sections resulted in large pressure drops for even small values (by weight) of net vapor. It is concluded that the formation of any sodium vapor in the Enrico Fermi reactor produces "boiling disease", i.e. triggers an unstable condition wh… more

Sodium Boiling Calculations

Description: The equations are derived for making rough calculations of the pressure drop required to produce a given mass flow through a subassembly for a given heat generation for cases where the vapor volume fraction is 0.9 or less. The ratio of vapor velocity to liquid velocity is left as a parameter that is varied form unreasonably low to unreasonably high values.

Quantization of Crystal Vibrations

Description: "Although the Born-von Karman treatment of the dynamics of crystal lattices is superior to that of Debye, the conABSTRACTS tinuum model of Debye is more amenable to computation; therefore the Debye treatment is used to obtain frequencies at a maximum energy. From the classic Hamiltonian of the solid, quantization is carried out by the Schroedinger method. The thermodynamic functions are obtained, and the mean square displacement is derived"

Technical Progress Report. [University of Illinois Graduate College Digital Computer Laboratory]: July 1958

Description: Report discussing the completion of a detailed circuit design of the shifting register test unit. Two designs were evolved for a two-input memory element. Equations for hydrodynamic flow with shocks are derived. An investigation was made of the properties of circuits which are semimodular and yet contain arbitrary delays at the inputs to all logical elements. Operation and use of the ILLIAC are described.

A Regulated Power Supply for a High Current Magnet

Description: Current regulation of a Bitter type electromagnet powered by a 10 kw. motor-generator set has been achieved by control of the generator exciting field. An error signal, obtained by comparing the voltage drop across a series resistor in the magnet circuit with a reference voltage, is fed back with appropriate amplification to the grids of series tubes in the generator field supply. Magnetic fields from 400 gauss to 10 kilogauss in a fixed gap (1.5 in. width and 3.5 in. diameter) are obtainable w… more
