Energy Exchange in Photo Reactions

Description: In order to develop adequate background for the experimental and theoretical studies of the energy-exchange processes of photosynthesis this report reviews in brief the history and present knowledge in the general field of energy exchange. The report lacks considerable in detail but the major references in most branches of the field are given. An attempt has been made to describe energy-transfer processes of all sorts in terms of configuration points moving on potential energy surfaces, as the … more

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.

Studies On Density Transients In Volume-Heated Boiling Systems

Description: This report presents the results of experiments designed to investigate the transient density response of volume-heated liquid systems subjected to a sudden, short-duration increase in heating intensity; also included are the results of experiments designed to give information about the characteristics of liquid-solid systems with regard to their maximum superheats.

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
