The Rolling of Thorium Rod
Report discussing the rolling of thorium rods. Abstract: "Thorium rods, 1-7/16 inch in diameter, were rolled from Ames castings. The billets were roughed down in diamond-grooved rolls and finished in hand-rounding rolls. Remelted chips as well as primary-metal castings were rolled, and both yielded satisfactory rods. The surface quality of the rods was generally excellent, and the machined slugs were free of seams."

Preliminary Summary of a Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna Region During 1951
From abstract: Radiometric reconnaissance in several districts of the Alaska Railroad-Iliamna region during 1951 found no radioactive material in excess of 0.002 percent equivalent uranium associated with certain lode deposits that previously were deemed favorable for the occurrence of uranium because they contain mineral assemblages similar to uranium-producing lodes elsewhere.

Preliminary Summary of Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Gulf of Alaska Region During 1951
Abstract: No radioactive material in excess of 0.002 percent equivalent uranium was found during 1951 in a reconnaissance of possibly favorable lode deposits in the Nuka Bay, Moose Pass-Hope, and Girdwood areas of the Gulf of Alaska region.

Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey
Abstract: In May 1950, 350 miles of road was traversed in the vicinity of a torbernite locality in New Jersey. The radioactivity of the area traversed was two to three times above normal, averaging 0.003 percent equivalent uranium. It is estimated that there is 1,000 tons of rock averaging 0.009 percent uranium at the torbernite locality. The presence of this area of above-normal radioactivity suggests that further study is needed in the Piedmont belt and the flanking sediments, which may contain economic deposits of uranium minerals.

Boiling Reactors: A Preliminary Investigation
Technical report detailing kinetic equations that have been developed for a boiling-type reactor and inherent reactor stability studies that have been made on the basis of these equations. Presents features of the proposed reactor, comparisons of circulating types, investigations of bubble-rise velocities, effects of transient conditions of vapor mass in steam chest, and bubble time delay functions yield favorable results.

Thorium and Thorium Alloys Preliminary Corrosion Tests
Technical report investigating the corrosion resistance of thorium and thorium alloys containing from 2 to 6% chromium, columbinium (niobium), titanium, zirconium and titanium-zirconium in distilled water at 95ºC. The true effects of the various alloy additions could not be determined because of the more marked effect of cold working. [From Abstract]

The Hydrolysis of Tributyl Phosphate Ad Its Effect on the Purex Process
From abstract: "The rate of hydrolysis of TBP and the effect of the hydrolysis products in the Purex Process have been studied. Hydrolytic conditions may be encountered in the process which would lead to formation of dibutyl phosphoric acid, causing significant losses of tetravalent plutonium in stripping. This situation may be easily alleviated by reducing and stripping the plutonium in the trivalent state."

Enrichment of Uranium 236
From abstract: "Neutron-irradiated uranium was electromagnetically separated to provide enrichment of the isotope of mass 236. The final isotopic abundance of U 236 was determined to be 95% in 1800 milligrams of uranium. Useful by-products of the program were 22 grams of 25% U 236 and 1100 grams of 99.7% U 235. These enriched materials have been made available for use on Atomic Energy Commission projects. Possible application of this separation process to recovery of the fuel from the MTR reactor is described."

Treasure Hill Area, Larimer County, Colorado
Abstract: The Treasure Hill area consists of eight mining-lode claims in secs. 10 and 15, T. 9 N., R. 70 W., Larimer County, Colo. All of the workings were examined and samples were taken from most of them. The results of the examination indicate that there is little or no detectable radioactivity in the schist and granite of the area.

A correlation by means of transonic similarity rules of experimentally determined characteristics of a series of symmetrical and cambered wings of rectangular plan form
Transonic similarity rules are applied to the correlation of experimental data for a series of related rectangular wings of varying aspect ratio, thickness, and camber. The data correlation is presented in two parts: the first part presents the correlation for a series of 22 wings having symmetrical NACA 63a-series sections; the second part is concerned with a study of one type of camber by correlation of the data for a series of 18 cambered wings having NACA 63a2xx and 63a4xx sections.
