Isotopic Analysis of Boron as Trimethyl Borate

Description: Boron-impregnated polyethylene tape was irradiated in the Engineering Test Reactor Critical Facility to study the effect of boron as a burnable poison in reactor fuel. Isotopic analysis of the boron was performed with a conventional CEC Model 21-103 mass spectrometer. The tape was distilled off and the residual boron was converted to trimethyl borate. The reaction mixture was analyzed without separation. Good precision was obtained with samples containing less than 0.5 mg. boron. Features of th… more

Evaluation of Activated Charcoal Fission Gas Adsorbers Designed for the GC-ORR Loop Experiment No. 1

Description: The activated charcoal traps designed for the Gas-Cooled Oak Ridge Research Reactor Loop Experiment No. 1 are evaluated for room temperature operation involving the decontamination and atmospheric disposal of helium coolant gas contaminated by experiment failure. The maximum quantity of fission products expected to be released was calculated and the resulting hazard was examined on the basis of probable radiation doses to laboratory personnel resulting from exposure to the gas cloud.

The Effects of Music and Operant Conditioning on Gross Motor Activity of Profound Mental Retardates

Description: It has not yet been demonstrated that music can be used therapeutically with profoundly retarded children. One way these children might be helped to respond to music, and therapeutically benefit from it, would be to use operant conditioning in an effort to enhance gross motor activity and then progressively shape responses until more complex behavior patterns are formed. Once these children can respond motorically in the presence of musical stimuli, continuation of responding may be possible by… more
