Reactivity in the South Spoils and Hillside Dump at the Midnite Mine (open access)

Reactivity in the South Spoils and Hillside Dump at the Midnite Mine

The Midnite Mine is an inactive open-pit uranium mine located on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington State. Drill samples from two large waste rock dumps on the site, known as South Spoils and Hillside Dump, were collected with a Becker hammer drill and evaluated to determine potential of the rock to generate acid mine drainage (AMD). Waste rock at this mine contains both pyrite and uranium, and AMD effects are more complicated on this site than most in that uranium is soluble in both acidic and neutral aqueous solutions. Although AMD protocols identified 26% of the South Spoils samples as potentially acid, under 7% of the spoil samples were actually producing acid. Considerable calcite exists in the South Spoils, and weathering feldspars further contribute to acid neutralization. The Hillside Dump has low concentrations of pyrite and calcite that acid-base accounting protocols would predict to be non-acidic. Accumulation of sulfate in rocks with concentrations of less than 0.3% S causes some of those normally non-acid producing rocks to produce acid in the Hillside Dump.

Diagnostic Measurements of a Highly Ionized, Steady-state Plasma

This paper is primarily intended to give an account of a few of the diagnostic techniques that have been applied to a highly ionized, steady-state helium plasma at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. However, to establish a proper perspective it will first be well to describe briefly the system in which the plasma is generated and studied.

BEFCYF And DBDT: IBM 704 Codes For Preparing Input For Bevatron Orbit Code (BOC)

Two IBM-704 codes have been written which are auxiliary to the Bevatron orbit code BOC. The first, BEFCYF, interpolates among tabulated values of the median-plane magnetic flux density of the Bevatron to produce an equivalent array of values in a form appropriate to BOC. The second, DBDT, produces azimuthal derivatives of the fields produced by BEFCYF. The internal operation of BEFCYF and DBDT is described, and instructions for their execution are given.

The Determination of Thorium in the Presence of Uranium, Titanium and Tungsten

Abstract: "Thorium is separated from uranium, titanium and tungsten by precipitation as fluoride. The precipitate is ignited to oxide, dissolved in nitric acid, evaporated with perchloric acid, neutralized to a pH between 2.0 and 2.5 and titrated with the disodium salt of ethylene-ddiamine tetrascetic acid, using Eriochrome Cyanide as indicator. If less than 30 milligrams of thorium is present, lanthanum is added as a carrier."
