Stability of Florothene Under Exposure to Gamma Radiation

Description: The stability of fluorothene (polytrifluorochloroethylene, Kel-F) to gamma radiation has been investigated to estimate the probable life expectancy of fluorothene equipment exposed to Purex process solutions. Samples of fluorothene were exposed to total gamma radiation dosages up to 10 degree R. The results of these tests substantiate the findings reported by Sisman and Bopp in their compilation of data on the affects of radiation on plastics.

Gamma Ray Spectrometry

Description: In the measurement of radioactive nuclides which emit gamma rays, the use of gamma ray spectrometer is comparable to the use of the ordinary spectrograph in analytic chemistry. The gamma radiation emitted by radioactive nuclides is electromagnetic radiation identical in fundamental nature with the visible, infrared and ultraviolet light found in ordinary spectroscopy.

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.

K [infinity] in Uranium - Water Lattices

Description: This report follows experiments on K[infinity], measuring the element for several red sizes, enrichments, and water-to-uranium volume ratios-(1, 2), by making use of the relation k[infinity] = 0M-[2]B-[2] (M-2 = migration area, B = buckling). The purpose of this report is to compare the experimental data for k[infinity] with values calculated from the four-factor formula k[infinity] = [eta][epsilon]pf.

Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment: Quarterly Technical Report No. 1, BAW-1001, July 1, 1956 to November 15, 1956

Description: This is the first quarterly report which summarizes the project work on the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment. As the initial contract was not signed until November, 1956, progress within this reporting period has been limited to establishing objectives, determining what research and development will be required, and selecting preliminary design parameters.

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

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.
