Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Mixed Acids (open access)

Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Mixed Acids

Introduction:"A corrosion test program in support of the Redox Project was carried out during the second quarter of 1950 to determine the corrosion rates of several austenitic stainless steels in simulated 202-B Waste Storage solution containing HF, HN03, and H2SO4 acids. The results of this program are contained herein and all original data are recorded in laboratory notebook HW-3282-T."

The Absorption and Translocation of Several Fission Elements by Russian Thistle (open access)

The Absorption and Translocation of Several Fission Elements by Russian Thistle

Abstract: An investigation was conducted to determine the absorption and translocation of fission products by Russian thistle from a localized spot of contaminated soil. The amount and identity of the radioactive elements absorbed and translocated by the Russian thistle is given along with the location of these elements in the plants. Beta radioactivity to the amounts of 10 microcuries per gram caused no visible effects on the growth habits of sectioned material are included.

Determination of Radiocesium with Chloroplatinic Acid (open access)

Determination of Radiocesium with Chloroplatinic Acid

The following report examines a rapid method used to eliminate the possibility of explosive perchlorate-organic mixtures in a control laboratory in order to determine radiocesium. These methods include the usage of chloroplatinic acid as a precipitate of radocesium.

Examination of Masonite in Biological Shield : Interim Report (open access)

Examination of Masonite in Biological Shield : Interim Report

Introduction: "Evidence of masonite deterioration in test hole plugs was interpreted to mean that a previous estimate of the minimum lifetime of the masonite in a Hanford biological shield might be somewhat optimistic. The importance of understanding the effects of radiations on masonite for both present and future pile shields dictated that masonite be sampled from an operating pile shield and studied. The results and techniques are discussed in the following sections of this report."
