This report discusses the field of nucleonics in the wake of the development of the atomic bomb, ruminating on the training and curriculum necessary for the next generation of chemical and nuclear engineers.

This is a report on the conference proceedings on light-water-moderated research reactors.

From preface: Proceedings of a conference of AEC contractor and depository librarians on the operations of the Division of Technical Information

Nuclear processes are random in character, and, accordingly, are amenable to statistical treatment. In 1905, shortly after the discover of natural radioactivity, E. Von Schweldler showed that the analytical description of the decay distribution of radioactive substances followed from probability considerations regardless of the mechanism involved in the process of atomic disintegration.

Report documenting research and developments made by the Health Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Introduction: Atomic Energy Facts is designed to serve as an introduction to nuclear operations in the United States and as a handbook of related information for the use of industrial firms and other active or interested in atomic energy.

From summary: "Report documenting research and developments made by the Health Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory."

Introduction: The Office of Isotopes Development of the United States Atomic Energy Commission has requested that Stanford Research Institute prepare a report on the applications of radioisotopes in agriculture.

Report documenting research and developments made by the Health Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

A survey and analysis of the potential opportunity for the use of nuclear reactors to satisfy process and space heat requirements in the continental United States and Alaska has been completed. The greatest emphasis has been devoted to manufacturing industries that utilize large quantities of process heat.

From foreword and preface: This report contains the proceedings of one of the divisions of the 10th Pacific Science Congress.

Report on ecological investigations sponsored by U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

From introduction: The purpose of this study was to compile information on and systematically assess uranium and other radioactive occurrences in the region.

From deposit: Since 1975 a cooperative effort between the United States Department of Energy, United States Geological Survey, Geological Survey of Wyoming, the Geology Department, University of Wyoming, and various industry groups has resulted in the discovery of a series of uraniumthorium-and gold-bearing conglomerates in Late Archean and Early Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks of southern Wyoming. The mineral deposits were found by applying the time and strata bound model for the origin of uranium-bearing quartz-pebble conglomerates to favorable rock types within a geologic terrane known from prior regional mapping.

From abstract: This two-part report provides an essentially complete listing of radioactive occurrences in Colorado, with a comprehensive bibliography and bibliographic cross-indexes.

From introduction: In this study on raw material sources of uranium the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board has catalogued all known occurrences of uranium and some references to thorium in a 17-state area (P1. 1). These occurrences have been evaluated as potential sources of uranium by the State Geological Surveys and the consultant group of SINB. Favorability guides have been applied to the known occurrences and recommendations have been made for future action by the states involved, federal agencies, or by industry. State recommendations are included in state-by-state summaries. The state reports were written either by personnel of the State Geological Surveys or were abstracted from State geological survey data by members of the consultant group...The purpose of this study was to compile information on and systematically assess uranium and other radioactive occurrences in the region. The SINB undertook the project because of its statutory, interstate capability as an extension of government in each of the 17 states, an arrangement that lends itself effectively to this cooperative undertaking.
