Li⁶ and Li⁷ (n. 2n) Cross Sections at 14.1 Mev (open access)

Li⁶ and Li⁷ (n. 2n) Cross Sections at 14.1 Mev

Abstract: "An absolute measurement of the 14.1-Mev (n, 2n) cross sections of Li-6 and Li-7 has been made using the large scintillator technique, resulting in cross sections in barns of 0.070 +/- 0.006 and 0.056 +/- 0.005 for Li-6 and Li-7, respectively."

Mechanical Properties of Zirconium and Zirconium-Uranium Alloys Containing Tin (open access)

Mechanical Properties of Zirconium and Zirconium-Uranium Alloys Containing Tin

Abstract: "The mechanical properties of a large number of zirconium alloys have been investigated. These alloys include zirconium-tin and zirconium-tin-uranium. Tensile tests have been run on these alloys at room temperature, 500 F, and 600 F. Hot-hardness data have been obtained from room temperature to 1600 F, with particular emphasis on the hot-rolling range. Creep tests and fatigue tests have been run on a number of zirconium-tin alloys at 500 F."

Strontium Program: Quarterly Summary Report, May 29, 1959 (open access)

Strontium Program: Quarterly Summary Report, May 29, 1959

From Abstract: "This report is one of a sequence of quarterly reports, each designed to up-date its predecessor beginning with HASL-42, "Environmental Contamination from Weapon Tests". Herein are presented data which have accrued since HASL-55. Levels of strontinum-90 in fallout, milk, air, water, vegetation, foods, and bone are given, based on data available from February 1, 1959 to May 20, 1959."
