Source of Fission Products in LITR Cooling Water (open access)

Source of Fission Products in LITR Cooling Water

A study has been made of the radioactive nuclides present in the cooling water of the Low Intensity Test Reactor. Prominent nuclides which have been identified include Np239 and certain fission products. The experimental evidence points to the probability that there could be adequate U235 contamination on the fuel plates to quantitatively account for the fission products identified in the LITR cooling water. inasmuch as new aluminum does not contain uranium, it must be assumed that the contamination occurs during the fabrication of the fuel elements.

A Note Concerning the "100% Value" in Iron Absorption Studies by Whole Body Counting (open access)

A Note Concerning the "100% Value" in Iron Absorption Studies by Whole Body Counting

The evaluation of iron absorption using a single crystal whole-body counter is complicated by the inherent difficulty of determining a correct "100% value". Shortly after ingestion, tracer radioiron can be found in the stomach, upper small intestine, portal circulation and liver. Fourteen to twenty days later, the time at which absorption is measured most effectively, the radioiron will be distributed between the red cell mass, liver, spleen, bone marrow and other storage areas. With this mixed distribution there will always be an error because of geometric factors, and hence in counting efficiency, in using the relationship of [formula not transcribed] to calculate iron absorption. In a previous iron absorption study reported from this group, the radioiron retention measured 4 to 10 hours postingestion was used as the "100% value". The present experiments were designed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the 4 hour postingestion count as the "100% value" as compared to the immediate postingestion body count, and to compare these values with an intravenous Fe59 calibrated absorption. These studies were performed with the realization that there is no absolute solution to the problem.

Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide (open access)

Polymerization in Solid Solutions of Acrylamide in Propionamide

It has previously been shown that the polymer formed in solid state polymerization of acrylamide is amorphous in spite of the fact that the reaction takes place within a crystalline solid. The stage at which it becomes amorphous is not known at present. Work with dilute solid solutions of acrylamide in propionamide suggests that this occurs after the addition of, at most, a very few monomer units.

Determination of the Single Interstitial Migration Energy From Stored Energy and Thermal Resistivity Changes in Irradiated Graphite (open access)

Determination of the Single Interstitial Migration Energy From Stored Energy and Thermal Resistivity Changes in Irradiated Graphite

The model used to evaluate the single interstitial migration energy from property changes due to interstitials is extended to account for vacancy contributions. The annealing function obtained can be used to determine the relative contributions of the defects and is sufficiently sensitive to distinguish vacancy effects that are an order of magnitude less than interstitial effects. Application of the model to stored energy and thermal resistivity data yields the same values of the activation energy and temperature independent term obtained from c-axis and macroscopic length expansion rates. The results indicate that the stored energy associated with the di-interstitial is at least ten times greater than the stored energy associated with the vacancy. The minor role of vacancies in phonon scattering is discussed. Analysis of the annealing function obtained from electrical resistivity changes in irradiated graphite indicates that the ratios of charge-carriers to scattering centers varies with irradiation temperature below 55°C. Above this temperature the changes are attributed to equal contributions from vacancies and interstitials.

Fundamentals of Vacuum Technology (open access)

Fundamentals of Vacuum Technology

Vacuum technology is germaine to and is utilized in an extroardinarily widespread scope of the scientific disciplines. From the medical technician freeze drying hog cholera vaccine to the solid state physicist studying thin film phenomena, vacuum technology is an important auxiliary. When one visits the NASA center at Langley and sees the clustered space environmental chambers, looking like a field of grotesque mushrooms, one realizes that vacuum technology is a vital adjunct in this most recent section of our total national scientific effort.

Separations Chemistry, Quarterly Progress Report, October-December 1953

"Work has continued on high temperature methods for processing irradiated uranium fuel. Additional results have been obtained with fused halide treatment, solid scavengers and direct Pu distillation. With fussed fluorides about 95 per cent of the Pu was removed from a uranium sample, while treatment of uranium with HC1 gas removed almost all the Pu and many fission products. treatment of molten uranium with uranium oxide removed a substantial fraction of the fission products without removing Pu. Uranium carbide treatment results were similar to the oxide but not as effective. A small scale distillation of Pu from uranium showed that Raoult's law is obeyed."
