Evolution of Halides from Halogenated Plastics Exposed to Gamma Radiation (open access)

Evolution of Halides from Halogenated Plastics Exposed to Gamma Radiation

Abstract: "The purpose of the investigation was to study the effects of gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source on the physical properties and halogen evolution from the plastics polyvinyl chloride and polymonochlorotrifluoroethylene. Samples exposed for 2 to 28 days to a source of approximately 25,000 Roentgens per minute showed an appreciable evolution of both fluorine and chlorine. Tests on polymonochlorotrifluoroethylene for tensile, impact, and shear strength showed rapidly decreasing values as the radiation exposure was increased. Similar physical tests on exposed polyvinyl chloride showed increased impact and shear strengths and a lower tensile strength."

The crystal structure of thorium nitrate (open access)

The crystal structure of thorium nitrate

From introduction: "Studies were made of single crystals of thorium nitrate hydrate which we had available in this laboratory and from these we were able to determine the unit cell and find the thorium positions. These crystals contain on the order of six water molecules per thorium atom, but the exact composition is in some doubt."

Heat and Free Energy of the Reaction AmCl₃s + H₂O(g) = AmOCl(s) + 2HCl(g)

In a previous paper a method of measuring the equilibrium constants at various temperatures for the titular reaction has been described. This report applies the method to an investigation of the corresponding reaction of americium, representing a part of a systematic program of investigation of the thermodynamic properties of analogous reactions of lanthanide and actinide elements.

The Isothermal Transformation of Metastable Beta Uranium Single Crystals (open access)

The Isothermal Transformation of Metastable Beta Uranium Single Crystals

Abstract: "The transformation of metastable beta uranium crystals was found to proceed by a martensitic reaction at room temperature. The features of the transformation of particular interest were that individual uranium martensite plates formed isothermally and grew at a slow rate isothermally."

The Uranium-Titanium Alloy System (open access)

The Uranium-Titanium Alloy System

Abstract: "A uranium-titanium constitution diagram is presented. There is complete solid solubility between titanium and gamma uranium above about 2100 F. Only one compound exists in the system. It has a hexagonal structure based on U2Ti. It has a fairly wide range of stability, particularly on the titanium side. Beta-titanium solid solution decomposes eutectoidally into alpha titanium and compound at 1150 F. Eutectoid composition is about 72 atomic per cent titanium. Gamma-uranium solid solution decomposes eutectoidally at 1325 F into beta uranium and compound. Eutectoid composition is about 6 atomic per cent titanium. Beta uranium and compound react peritectoidally at 1233 F to give alpha uranium. Solubility of titanium in alpha and beta uranium is low as is the solubility or uranium in alpha titanium."

Evaluation of Type 304 Stainless Steel as a Substitute for Type 347 (open access)

Evaluation of Type 304 Stainless Steel as a Substitute for Type 347

Abstract: "Type 347 stainless steel was selected for SIR applications requiring resistance to corrosion in sodium on the basis of limited corrosion data and extrapolation of experience in aqueous media. Subsequent testing indicated that carbide stabilization was not necessary for good resistance to corrosion in sodium. Evaluation of the unstabilized grade of 18-8 stainless steel, Type 304, was intensified because it offered a number advantages over Type 347. Type 304 was more readily available, required fewer strategic materials, was less expensive, and was reported to be weldable with less difficulty. From the results of this investigation, it appears that Type 304 can be substituted for 347 for all SIR applications where the slightly higher elevated temperature strength of 347 is not required."

Critical Ionization of Potentials of Uranium Hexafluoride (open access)

Critical Ionization of Potentials of Uranium Hexafluoride

Introduction: "The extensive use of uranium hexafluoride in the Nier-type mass spectrometers, where the ionization is produced by slow electrons, made a knowledge of the ionization potentials of the various ions desirable. This information was not available and work was accordingly begun to secure such data. The first measurement was made with a VGIA ion gauge and has been described in TEO report CD-310. With this apparatus it was not possible to identify the ionization products and it was presumed that the value reported was for the UF5 ion. When time and equipment became available, the work was continued and the critical potentials of the singly-charged ions determined."
