Report discussing the "equilibrium uranium distribution between an aqueous nitric acid solution and a 30 per cent by volume solution of tributyl phosphate in a hydrocarbon diluent" (p. 2). This includes the necessary equations.

Data on the crystal structures of the common modifications of the elements at zero pressure.

Some data on the temperature effect in pulse columns are reviewed. New data obtained with the "vibrational" stirrer are reported. The effects on both the dispersion and coalescence and the net rate of extraction suggest that improved operation of the RA column and lowered waste losses would be expected at elevated temperatures.

From introduction: "The tube arrangement covered in this report was proposed in June, 1950, as a means of halving the weight and volume required for the heat exchanger. Ideally, the pressure drop across this arrangement should be little more than that required to overcome the skin friction on the tube surfaces. If the pressure drop across the tube spacers and in the cross-flow regions can be kept low, this ideal can be approached. much of the test work covered in this report was devoted to this phase of the problem."

A reinforced Butler building was exposed to fallout from Shots Diablo and Shasta, and the resulting dose rates and fallout deposition inside and outside the structure were measured with various instruments and techniques. Protection factors and roof and ground contributions to the total dose rates at points within the structure were determined from the measurements. Comparisons were made with the results of theoretical and other experimental studies. Information obtained from this experiment should be of value as basic experimental data for fallout protection work, although it is recommended that additional substantive data obtained under more controlled conditions.

Investigation conducted to determine the cause of cracking, during tension, on the surface of tensile specimens of uranium-molybdenum alloys.

Report discussing a study with the following objectives: "to synthesize pure specimens of both methylisoproplydiketone and 1,1 dinitroisobutane, to determine their physical and chemical properties, and to devise analytical methods which permit their quantitative determination in hexone-nitric acid systems to be encountered in the Redox Process."
