From abstract: "This bibliography consists of reports compiled from the AEC Library Card Catalog. Only the Classified and Unclassified report literature is included. For the published literature the reader is referred to an unpublished paper by V. Carson (UCRL - Livermore Library)" titled "Radioactive Waste Disposal" (April 25, 1957). "All progress reports covering the work have been omitted in order to exclude a large amount of duplicate information which is usually found in more detail in topical reports."

This bibliography is selective, unclassified, and covers the period 1950 - April 1960. Sources consulted were the following: Applied Science and Technology Index (Industrial Arts Index), Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Nuclear Science Abstract, Armed Services Technical Information Agency Title Announcement Bulletin, and Publisher's Catalogs.

The following report is a bibliography containing reports, books and journals on the production of high temperatures (2000-3000 F). The literature provided only covers to the end of 1957.

Abstract: "Temperature measuring techniques for application to temperatures up to 2000 deg C have been investigated. Emphasis has been placed on those methods suitable for use in the environment of a high power density nuclesr reactor of particular design. A survey of available techniques is made and evaluated in the light of the general problem. The properties and behavior of materials at high temperatures and in a high flux of particle radiation are discussed. As a result of the preceding considerations and a comprehensive literature search thermoelectric thermometry emerges as the most favorable method. A discussion of thermoelectric thermometry is given and recommendations as to materials and construction of a proposed expedient thermocouple are given. An experimental program leading to a more satisfactory thermocouple assembly is discussed."

This report was prepared at the request of the Subcommittee on Radiochemistry of the Committee on Nuclear Science of the National Research Council as a contribution to a proposed master file on the radiochemistry of all the elements. All known material on the radiochemistry of thorium is included in this report.

A report about the preliminary studies which have been continued on the metabolism of fission products which were available at and obtained from Oak Ridge. These studies were conducted on rats after the fission products were made physiologically compatible.

The following quarterly report covers a period between October, November, December of 1953 to April of 1954. The document provides reports on medical and health physics, particularly on the biological studies of radiation effects, the metabolic properties of various materials, radiation chemistry, health chemistry, and health physics.

The following quarterly report covers the period of January, February and March of 1954, discussing medical and health physics such as: the metabolic properties of various materials, biological studies of radiation effects, lipoprotein studies, health chemistry, and health physics.

Thesis discussing the range-energy relation for the purpose of better understanding the kinematice of the formation, reactions, and decay of unstable strange particles within a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber.

Report describing the proceedings of the second symposium on the application of pulsed neutron source techniques.

Thesis describing a research conducted to extend observations on nuclear energy levels and how they effect the nucleus itself, and an investigation on the gamma rays associated for the even-even isotopes and to obtain additional data for the oddmass neclei in the hope that more regularities will become apparent for that class of nuclides.

Abstract: The silicides of Ti, Zr, Ce and Nb were investigated to determine the phases present at temperatures around 2000 K. The reactions of silicides of Ti, Zr, Ce, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W with carbon were studied at these temperatures. Also a limited amount of work was done on the reactions of some of the silicides with nitrogen. The data have been used to establish ternary phase diagrams for the systems and to obtain upper and lower limits for the heats of formation of the silicides.

A quarterly report consisting of reports published on Transuranic Elements from the University of California Radiation Laboratory. Each report is a brief one to two page summaries of the article submitted for publication during the months of September-November, 1948.

"This is a selected bibliography of books, journal articles and reports published on creep and relaxation in metals and ceramics from 1950 to March 1959. Particular attention has been paid to studies on or applicable to the consideration of creep and relaxation in beryllium oxide. Emphasis has alro been placed on studies of phenomenological materials behavior and high temperature studies."

From abstract: "Optical spectra of six beta-diketones and their cupric chelates are presented and discussed in relation to the structures of the molecules."

Reports on the biological studies of radiation effects, the metabolic properties of various materials, health physics and chemistry.

Quarterly updates on nuclear chemistry, bio-organic chemistry, general chemistry, chemical engineering (process chemistry).

This revised version contains material published in the two years since the original report was issued in January 1960. The report covers the history of the discovery of fission, fission theory, and the probability of fission. It discusses the distribution of mass in fission, the distribution of nuclear charge in fission, kinetic energy of fission fragments, and the role of neutrons and gamma rays in fission.

The principal types of particle accelerators are described briefly according to operation and history. Known operating particle accelerators are listed with their pertinent dimensions.

Abstract. While the concept of a biological system as a balanced network of chemical transformations is not a new one, experimental definition of specific systems has been lacking. This paper defines theoretically and experimentally a number of such networks and their behavior and response to some limited environmental changes.

The guiding center motion and the adiabatic invariants of charged particle trajectories in electromagnetic fields are treated in this review. General and specific theories of charged particle motion are also reviewed.
