Use of Discharge Tubes in Spectrochemical Analysis

Description: While this survey of discharge tube sources probably has not yielded information of much direct interest to the great majority of analysts, it seems probable that these sources will become of greater interest as they become better developed and more demand is created for extension of spectrochemical methods to non-metallic samples.

Evaluation of Hazards to Population From a Reactor Accident

Description: Consequent to an "accident" during the working of a nuclear reactor there is a possibility that radioactive fission products will get airborne. The airborne activity in the form of cloud will travel with the winds and the size of the cloud will increase as it travels downwind. There are several radiation hazards due to such a cloud and the extent of their hazard depends upon several conditions.
