Investigation of Hydriding Characteristics of Intermetallic Compounds: Third Quarterly Report, April 1, 1961 to July 31, 1961

Description: Quarterly report discussing the progress of an investigation into the hydriding characteristics of a broad range of intermetallic phases. This report the hydriding characteristics of 161 different intermetallic phases and Pressure-Temperature-Composition (PTC) relations for the hydrides of 7 intermetallic compounds. It suggests the development of a quantitative relation to predict the hydride forming ability of a given compound based on the size of interstitial sites and presents evidence for … more

Identification of Curium-242 in Irradiated Neptunium

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "Curium-242 was experimentally identified as a minor product of the irradiation of neptunium-237 in a nuclear reactor." From Introduction : "Determinations of the half-life, alpha energy, and daughter product of the purified curium nuclide were made in this study to confirm the identity as curium-242."

A Manual of Experiments in Reactor Physics

Description: Nuclear processes are random in character, and, accordingly, are amenable to statistical treatment. In 1905, shortly after the discover of natural radioactivity, E. Von Schweldler showed that the analytical description of the decay distribution of radioactive substances followed from probability considerations regardless of the mechanism involved in the process of atomic disintegration.
