Report for General Research for December 11, 1950 to April 2, 1951. (Radium Volume)

The work presented in this volume concludes the research on methods for the recovery of purified radium from K-65 residues. The completion of a final report and an engineering study of the proposed process are underway. The preliminary treatment of the K-65 residues with 15% sodium hydroxide was checked and found to give 84% removal of lead and 40% removal of silica. The combined sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate treatment for removing additional amounts of lead and achieving a preliminary conversion of the radium-barium silfates to carbonates has been studied at 170 deg C under pressure as well as at 100 deg C as previously used. A marked improvemont was found with the use of higher temperatures. Alternate methods were studied for removing the residual lead content in place of precipitation with hydrogen sulfide. Precipitation of insoluble hydroxides was found to remove about 90% of the lead present. The over-all recovery of radium in the residues treatment has been checked and found to be better than 98%. The work on the separation of radium from barium by fractional precipitation of the chromates has shown that in actual practices the results are in good agreement with the results calculated from the observed …

NUCLEAR SHELL STRUCTURE AND $beta$-DECAY I. ODD A NUCLEI II. EVEN A NUCLEI

A systematics is given of all transitions for odd A nuclei for which sufficiently reliable data are available. The allowed or forbidden characters of the transitions are correlated with the positions of the initial and final odd nucleon groups in the nuclear shell scheme. The nuclear shells show definite characteristics with respect to parity of the ground states. The latter is the same as the one obtained from known spins and magnetic moments in a one-particle interpretation.
