The Angular Dependence of Thermal Neutron Spectra in Lattices (open access)

The Angular Dependence of Thermal Neutron Spectra in Lattices

This technical report discusses techniques that have been developed for "computing the angular thermal flux spectrum emerging from a lattice. These methods are applied to water lattices and it is found that the computed spectra are sensitive to the geometrical description of the lattice, but insensitive to the anisotropic scattering by water. Comparisons with measured spectra indicate that corrections for gradients and the finite size of the experimental lattice are important." -- from abstract (p. 3).

Determination of Diffusion Cooling in Graphite by Measurement of the Average Neutron Velocity (open access)

Determination of Diffusion Cooling in Graphite by Measurement of the Average Neutron Velocity

From Abstract: "The diffusion cooling coefficient in graphite has been determined by measuring the change in the asymptotic average velocity with buckling, by pulsed neutron methods. The times necessary to establish equilibrium spectra in graphite and heavy water have been measured and are reported."

The Supercritical Water Reactor (open access)

The Supercritical Water Reactor

From summary: "During 1951 NDA has, at the request of ORNL, been studying the supercritical-water reactor as proposed for aircraft propulsion in Wash-24...This study has concerned itself only with the reactor and shield." The report describes the reactor and the processes involved in developing it. The goal of the development of this reactor is identified as a path to supersonic flight.

Capture - Positron Ratios for Allowed and First-Forbidden Transitions (open access)

Capture - Positron Ratios for Allowed and First-Forbidden Transitions

Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing capture positron ratios. As stated on page 1, "the purpose of this report is to present aids for the simple determination of the relative probabilities of K-electron capture and positron emission for allowed and first-forbidden transitions" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.
