Metallurgical Evaluation of the Uranium Rods Rolled for the Chalk River Pile Test

Summary: "The laboratory data collected during the metallurgical evaluation of these rods indicate that lower rolling temperatures increased the ultimate and yield strength, the amount of cold work, and the degree of preferred orientation existing in these uranium rods."

Criticality Conditions for 1.75 Per Cent Enriched Uranium Slugs (open access)

Criticality Conditions for 1.75 Per Cent Enriched Uranium Slugs

Abstract: "A batch of slugs is being prepared for which the U-235 content will be 1.75 per cent, and it is of interest to calculate the minimum number of such slugs required for a critical assembly in water. Using Handbook (CL-697) methods, a critical assembly of these slugs arranged in a lattice with a spacing of 5.5 cm."
