The Laplace Transform Method of Obtaining X-ray Spectral Energy Distributions (open access)

The Laplace Transform Method of Obtaining X-ray Spectral Energy Distributions

This method essentially consists of analyzing x-ray filtration data in terms of Laplace transforms and obtaining the spectral energy distribution in terms of a sum of the corresponding inverse Laplace transforms. Some of the functions which are especially suited for this application are given and a graphical method of analyzing filtration data in terms of these functions is described. Examples of the practical application of this method to several low energy x-ray machines are included with a discussion of the advantages, disadvantages, and probable uncertainties which are involved.

Review of Drilling Methods and Procedures With Results Obtained

"In this review and critique of many matters, most of them related to a central scheme, namely the outlining of methods and procedures in the Commission, ore-finding technique, new empirical criteria as guides to analyses of grade, ore realization factors, and many other subjects that have a bearing on our field methods used have been treated."

Sodium Graphite Reactor, Quarterly Progress Report, June-August 1953 (open access)

Sodium Graphite Reactor, Quarterly Progress Report, June-August 1953

"Engineering was continued on the development of sodium cooled, graphite moderated type reactors. General studies were carried out as well as studies specifically devoted to the following: a. full scale poser-only plant, b. thirty-mega watt pilot plant, the SGR, c. sodium reactor experiment, the SRE. This work consisted of theoretical analysis of various aspects of nuclear performance; economic investigations of different fuel element, cooling system and plant arrangements; and experimental investigations related to the properties of certain materials and to the development of components. Preliminary consideration was given to alternative reactor arrangements employing liquid hydrocarbon moderators and high temperature coolants other than sodium. In addition to a summary of the general design features of the SRD, a program was prepared outlining the proposed use of this installation.
