Abstract: "Because of the radiation hazards inherent in processing large volumes of radioactive solutions by solvent extraction techniques, there is need for a system with small hold-up which can be contained within a minimum of shielding and yet which is versatile enough to be used as a research tool. A system utilizing a miniature mixer-settler has been constructed and its successful operation by remote means demonstrated. The unit is semiportable and employs a number of novel features of value in studying a wide variety of solvent extraction flowsheets. Data on the distribution of nitric acid between water and tributyl phosphate (in kerosene) are included as a demonstration of the operability of the unit."

Memorandum presenting an analysis and evaluation of the meteorological requirements and problems anticipated with the operation of commercial turbojet aircraft. Discussions concerning problems of temperature, wind, pressure, ceiling, visibility, cloud and clear-air turbulence, icing, and communication are included in this study.

Report presenting an investigation of NACA 8.75-(5)(05)-037 eight- and six-blade dual-rotating propellers under static conditions. The slipstream-boundary cone angle was found to agree with the theoretical angle of spread for an unheated jet. Results regarding the longitudinal survey, stationary survey, effect of blade angle, nature of flow near propeller, and effect of blade angle on slipstream rotation are provided.

The primary objective of this work is to add to the understanding of irradiated graphite. This report describes an experimental technique whereby changes in crystal lattice parameter may be studied as a function of time at constant temperature. The results given here are limited to changes in the C₀ spacing for a typical sample of irradiated graphite in the temperature range 100 to 750 C.
