This report covers an investigation made to develop a gasometric determination that can determine 1.2 x 10-(-5) g. of nitrite with a precision (99% limits) of +/- 8%, and discusses how this procedure works.

From statement of objectives: The purposes of the work described in this report are to provide data useful for designing and operating the dissolver solution clarification equipment to be installed in the Redox production plant.

Abstract: Technical report describing an evaluation of solvents for use in the extraction of uranium from Mallinckrodt type ore feeds.

Technical report evaluating solvents for use in the extraction of uranium from Mallinckrodt type ore feeds. Re-evaluates the Mallinckrodt process in the light of the more recent solvent extraction development that has been carried out at various AEC sites.

From introduction: This report summarizes a study of the composution and physical properties of a number of hydrocarbon diluents together with some generalizations regarding relations between [vapor pressure, density and viscosity] properties.

The following report describes the procedures developed for the x-ray photometric determination of uraniuim in metal oxides and sludge and compares results, precision, and length of time of analyses by the General Electric X-Ray Photometer with analyses by the present titration method.

Five isotopes of bismuth occur in nature. Using particle accelerators providing helium ions up to 40 Mev in energy and deuterons up to 20 Mev in energy, it was possible to produce and identify two artificial radioactive isotopes. With the advent of the 184-inch Berkeley syncho-cyclotron and its hundreds of Mev energies, it was possible to form highly neutron-deficient bismuth isotopes extending more than ten mass units below stable Bi(209).

The system pentaether-uranyl nitrate-nitric acid-water has been studied in the liquid-liquid region, Aqueous solutions containing 0.0M to 8.2M nitric acid and 0.0M to 2.3M uranyl nitrate were equilibrated with pentaether, and the effects of nitric acid concentration, uranyl nitrate concentration and temperature are discussed. Phase diagrams for the system are presented and approximate delta-H values are given.
