Leakage Neutron Spectrum of  U²³³ Critical Assembly (open access)

Leakage Neutron Spectrum of U²³³ Critical Assembly

Abstract: "The leakage neutron spectrum of a U²³³ spherical critical assembly (Jezebel) has been measured using nuclear emulsions as radiator and detector. The spectrum obtained is compared with similar measurements on the U-235 and Pu-239 analogues of Jezebel U²³³; it is found to agree closely with that of the Pu-239 assembly and to be harder than that of the U-235 assembly. All three spectra are compared with theoretical spectra obtained from a numerical approximation to the neutron transport equation."

A Monte Carlo Calculation of the Neutron Detection Efficiency of a Hydrogen Bubble Chamber

Abstract: "The calculation of the efficiency of the Los Alamos hydrogen bubble chamber for detection of neutrons in the energy range 5 to 35 MeV has been done using a "Monte Carlo" technique. The detection efficiency is calculated as a function of energy of the neutron and angle of the proton recoil."

Design Criteria for Reactor Test Support Facility at NRTS

This technical report provides a design criteria for a technical support facility for the Lithium Cooled Reactor Experiment (LCRE) and SNAP-50-DR-1 Test Facilities. The support facility is adjacent to the LCRE Test Facility and is located completely within the existing Building 629 structure at the former ANP area of the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) near Idaho Falls, Idaho. The information and specifications presented establish the basis for the design of laboratories, shops and engineering areas required to support the installation, operation, maintenance and disassembly of the LCRE and SNAP-50 tests.

Bimetallic Casting (open access)

Bimetallic Casting

"Uranium and zirconium were bonded by melting the two metals in contact with one another in a bimetallic casting process. Tensile tests of specimens containing the original zone of interface between the two metals showed that all failures were at locations other than the interface. The coefficients obtained for diffusion between molten uranium and molten zirconium varied from 2.13 cm squared per day at 3,380 degrees F. to 9.17 cm squared per day at 3,510 degrees F. the activation energy for the diffusion process was calculated to be 182,000 calories per gram mole."

Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter (open access)

Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter

Human iron metabolism has been extensively studied in the past twenty-five years with the radioisotopes iron⁵⁵ and iron⁵⁹. Before the availability of the whole body counter, however, iron absorption studies were performed by the indirect methods of fecal assay of unabsorbed radioiron, and estimation of red cell incorporation of absorbed tracer. The few long-term excretion studies performed required numerous assumptions, since human iron excretion was less well understood. Whole body counting provides a simple and accurate method of measuring the total body retention of administrative tracer iron⁵⁹, thus making absorption and subsequent excretion determinations possible with a single radioiron study. The energetic gamma emissions of iron⁵⁹ permit ready external detection with small quantities of isotope, Normal radioiron distribution is uniform throughout the circulating red cell mass and thus minimize geometry influences on the counting efficiency, 0nly the 45.1 day half-life of iron⁵⁹ limits long term iron turnover studies. Measurements of iron⁵⁹ absorption and long-term body turnover have been under way at Brookhaven National Laboratory for over two years. The present paper outlines some of the results of these studies, and discusses some implications of the method.

A Sublimation Pump (open access)

A Sublimation Pump

During a visit to Professor H.G. Harb at the University of Wisconsin, it was apparent that he had succeeded in obtaining fresh, clean chemisorptive layers of titanium by sublimation and chat that this could be adapted into an effective high vacuum pump. Two previous techniques of obtaining a chemisorptive layer of titanium, namely catholic sputtering and evaporation from the liquid droplet, have been extensively investigated and reported. Each of these seem to have inherent difficulties in stability and continuity of operation that appear to be eliminated or effectively reduced by the sublimation procedure. A development program was started at Brookhaven National Laboratory to investigate the possibilities of each sublimation of titanium as opposed to evaporation from the liquid.

Future Program for the Cern PS and the Brookhaven AGS (open access)

Future Program for the Cern PS and the Brookhaven AGS

The alternating-gradient proton synchrotrons at CERN and Brookhaven are very similar in size, design and in their experimental use. For this reason, collaboration between the groups at CERN and Brookhaven has been close throughout the history of these two machines. For the most part this has taken the form of exchanges of visits of individual machine designers and of high-energy physicists. By 1962, however, it appeared that the reciprocal flow of information was not adequate and a more formal meeting was arranged. This meeting took place at Brookhaven during the week of September 10, 1962. CERN sent a representative group of machine physicists and high-energy physicists. The meeting was attended also by observers from several American high-energy installations. The discussion covered a wide range of topics, from operating characteristics of the machines themselves to future trends in design of experimental equipment. Plans for beam ejection were presented, techniques were described for better use of secondary beams from internal targets, progress was summarized on dc and rf particle separators. and future trends in neutrino experimentation were predicted.
