Drifting a thick lithium-drifted counter (silicon and germanium) is a time-consuming operation that frequently results in a poor device, owing to inadequate knowledge of progress of the drifting operation. The drifting apparatus described here automatically controls the temperature of the detector that is being drifted to maintain the leakage current at a preselected value. While drifting proceeds, a continuous measurement is made of the distance of the lithium-drifted region from the opposite face of the wafer. When the drifted region reaches 30 mil or less from the back of the wafer a meter indicates the thickness of the undrifted region and, when this thickness falls below a preselected value, the temperature of the detector is automatically reduced to room temperature. The need for constant supervision of the drifting operation is thereby eliminated, and reliance on theoretical drift-rate calculations to predict the drift-through time is avoided. The technique has been applied to the manufacture of lithium-drifted silicon detectors with excellent results. The application of the technique to lithium-drifted germanium {gamma} detectors is also discussed briefly.

The Purex L-Cell Package is used for organic stripping and concentrating aqueous plutonium solutions from the final Pu solvent extraction decontamination cycle. At the present time the package is used only during times when the gamma activity of the final product is too high to permit routing the solution to N Cell for final ion-exchange purification or when N Cell is inoperative. The package can be used only to concentrate and then route solutions to the PR Room for loadout into PR cans for storage prior to rework via TK-E6. In addition, operating data have shown that the present package has a low boil-off capacity which is insufficient for both current and forecasted plant production rates. At the present time, flowsheet modifications and processing rate reductions are necessary when the package is in operation. Entry into L Cell and contact maintenance are required to maintain the present package which was installed in 1956. Repairs to the package were made in 1962, and information obtained at that time indicates that extensive repairs to the present package will be required in the near future. The purpose of this report is to present the engineering study for the required modifications to the package …

Biweekly newsletter published for employees of the General Dynamics Fort Worth Division containing work-related information, updates about employees, and other news.

This recording is a part of the radio series “Toscanini: The Man Behind the Legend,” which was a tribute to conductor Arturo Toscanini. The broadcasts consist of music performed by the NBC Orchestra as well as interviews with composers, conductors, orchestra members, and other people associated with Toscanini. This segment includes performances of Debussy's Iberia from Images, Wagner's Death and Funeral March from Die Götterdämmerung, and an interview with Walfredo Toscanini.
