Survey of Materials for Supercritical-Water Reactor (open access)

Survey of Materials for Supercritical-Water Reactor

Survey of properties of materials which might be suitable for use in various locations in a supercritical-water reactor. Properties examined include tensile strength, rupture strength, endurance strength, Young's modulus, tensile elongation, coefficient of thermal expansion, coefficient of thermal conductivity, density, nominal composition, usual heat treatments and thermal-neutron-absorption cross sections.

Discriminator Calibrator (open access)

Discriminator Calibrator

To calibrate a pulse height discriminator, the amplitude of the calibrating pulse must be known. If the amplitude is known, the discriminator dial may be calibrated in terms of the input signal required to just trip it. This is the purpose for which the Discriminator Calibrator was designed. It produces pulses of variable but known amplitude with a rep. rate variable from 3 pps to 4000 pps. The main use of this unit at the UCRL is in conjunction with scalers at fixed counting locations.

Fall-Out in Southeastern United States During January and February 1951 from the Nevada Atomic Tests (open access)

Fall-Out in Southeastern United States During January and February 1951 from the Nevada Atomic Tests

Air filter and rainwater collections of atmospheric fall-out were made at Atlanta, Georgia; Urbana, Illinois; Topeka, Kansas; Fort Worth, Texas; and Nashville, Tennessee. Collections reflect the effects of the radioactive cloud from the Nevada tests.
