Aging of Al-Li Alloys - Part I

Description: Technical report outlining experiments on aluminum-lithium alloys. From Abstract: "Aluminum-lithium alloys are subject to precipitation from solid solution, and may be age hardened by the same techniques used for more common aluminum alloys. Spherical particles of precipitate were observed with the electron microscope in 1.5% and 2.8% Al-Li alloys after aging for times comparable to those required to produce maximum hardness. Rod-shaped particles that were oriented parallel to either the (110) … more

Anodic Precipitation of Tracer Manganese as Dioxide

Description: Quantitative recovery of carrier‐free 10−9 M manganese (II) is possible from weakly acidic solutions. The use of lead dioxide as either a non-isotopic carrier or a chemical displacing agent makes possible high recoveries from more acidic solutions.

An approach to the study of solid state bonding

Description: This report constitutes a review of theory, experimental approach, and means of evaluation involved in the program "An Approach to the Study of Solid State Bonding." Inasmuch as the experimental activity ceased prior to the end of the contract period, adequate data are not available with which to illuminate the area of investigation; therefore, this report should not be considered as a report of a completed project.

The Circular Polarization of Gamma Radiation Following Allowed Beta Transitions

Description: The degree of circular polarization of gamma rays following allowed beta transitions was investigated as a function of the angle THETA /sub beta gamma / between beta-particle momentum and gamma direction and as a function of the energy of the beta particle. The anisotropy of the beta-gamma circular polarization correlation observed for pure Gamow-Teller transitions ( DELTA 1 = 1) is used to determine the validity of C/sub A/' = C/sub A/. The experimental results for Co/sup 60/ and Na/sup 22/ ar… more

The Design and Uses of High Flux Research and Test Reactors

Description: The need for thermal and fast neutron fluxes in the range of 1 to 5 x l0/ sup 15/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/(sec) for the production of heavy elements such as Cf/ sup 252/ and other special isotopes and for improving the quality of beam experiments, reactor materials testing work, and solid state research has led to plans for the construction of three ultra high flux research reactors. The designs of these and other high flux research reactors are based on the general technology of enriched tank-type r… more

Dispersion in Tidal Estuaries

Description: A number of experiments were conducted at Northwestern University with methylene blue tracer to study the influence on the diffusion process of the periodic variations of flow which are characteristic of tidal estuaries. The oscillatory movement of pollutant was also closely studied with an instantaneous injection of radioactive tritium water in the model of the Savannah Harbor. (W.D.M.)

Dispersion of Fluid Flow in Porous Media

Description: This technical report presents the results of an investigation concerned with the phenomenon of dispersion in porous media flow. In the work, major emphasis has been placed on the problem of one-dimensional, longitudinal flow in porous media, from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. To date, only limited work has been done on the corresponding radial flow problem. The governing differential equation for the dispersion of a fluid transporting a solute as it flows through porous media c… more

A Fast Hyperfragment Produced by a Heavy Primary Cosmic Ray

Description: The order of magnitude of the non-mesonic to mesonic ratio has been measured for several species of hyper- fragments. With this ratio as well as the branching ratio of the mesonic decays and a determination of the lifetime, it is possible to find the partial decay rates of the various modes. This decay rate should throw light on the influence of nucleons on the strangeness violation in the decay. The effect should be greater for heavy hyperfragments. The difficulty in attempts to measure lifet… more

Gamma Decay of the [Mu]-Meson

Description: The transition rate for decay has been calculated by several authors under the assumption that the process goes via a charged intermediate vector Boson X, which is coupled to pairs. Our conclusion is that one cannot rule out the possibility the decay goes via a charged vector Boson of very high mass, and if the Boson should happen to have an anomalous moment near 0.7, its mass could be relatively small without contradicting the experimental data.

The Helium Cooled Loop in the GETR

Description: The General Electric Test Reactor (GETR) facility is designed to irradiate the fuel specimens in a helium-cooled environment at 800 degree F and pressures from 315 to 400 psig. Thermal neutron fluxes in the fuel are of the order of 3 x 10(13) mv and the induvial test pieces, of which there are three in each facility tube, generate five kilowatts at heat fluxes slightly over 200,000 Btu per hour per square foot. Five facility tubes are provided in the reactor pool. Separate coolant lines are bro… more

The HGCR-1, a Design Study of a Nuclear Power Station Employing a High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor with Graphite-UO₂ Fuel Elements

Description: "The preliminary design of a 3095-Mw(thermal), helium-cooled, graphite- moderated reactor employing sign conditions, 1500 deg F reactor outlet gas would be circulated to eight steam generators to produce 1050 deg F, 1450-psi steam which would be converted to electrical power in eight 157-Mw(electrical) turbine- generators. The over-all efficiency of this nuclear power station is 36.5%. The significant activities released from the unclad graphite-UO₂ fuel appear to be less than 0.2% of those pro… more

An Investigation of the Fate of Fission Products in the Illinois Waterway System

Description: The project was principally directed towards a consideration of the fate of nuclear fission products if such products were discharged into the Illinois River System. The investigation included theoretical work on flow dispersion and the performance and analysis of field experiments on radionuclide dispersion. The main dispersion experiments were conducted in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, with preliminary experiments being run in Prairie Creek, a small stream located in the Joliet Arsenal… more

Kinetics of the Platinum-Catalyzed Hydrogen Reduction of Aqueous Cobalt Sulfate Ammonium Acetate Solutions

Description: Cobalt sulfate solutions containing ammonium acetate and chloroplatinic acid were reduced by hydrogen in a Pyrex-glass lined autoclave in the temperature range of 170 to 232 C and hydrogen partial pressure range of 115 to 830 psia. The reduction rate was directly proportional to the hydrogen partial pressure and surface area of the Pyrex glass and was independent of the quantity of chloroplatinic acid added initially. Experiments involving the variation of the relative concentration of ammonium… more

The Mass Spectrum of Stannane

Description: From abstract: "The mass spectrum of stannane, SnH4, has been studied. Ion fragmentation patterns for both the singly and doubly charged fragments were obtained employing 70-volt electrons. From appearance potential data, an estimation of the bond energies of the tin-hydrogen bond in the ion-species SnH+3-H, SnH+2-H, SnH+-H, Sn+-H has been made along with [delta]Hf for SnH4. The studies were first made with tin of normal isotopic abundance, and then the results were corroborated with SnH4 prepa… more
