Radiation Problems of the Chemical Plant (open access)

Radiation Problems of the Chemical Plant

"Absorption measurements have been made in a large body of water to evaluate the contribution to the radiation intensity produced by the degradation of radiation without absorption. Radiation intensities three times those expected from a simple exponential absorption were found. Scattering from the air of gamma radiation has been measured and has been found to agree satisfactorily with theoretical predictions. The penetration of radiation through curved pipes in shielding has been measured and been found to be a flat topped function. A 2" pipe bent in the arc of a circle of 7' chord and a 10' radius gives a reduction intensity over the intensity in air at the same distance of 2.5X10⁴."

Physical Properties of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions (open access)

Physical Properties of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions

Abstract: Measurements are reported of the solubility of uranyl sulfate in water at several temperatures, of the density of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration, of the variation of density of uranyl sulfate solutions of three different concentrations over a temperature range from 0[degree]C. to about 93[degree]C., and of the pH of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration as well as of temperature. The pH measurements were taken on uranyl sulfate samples prepared in several different ways and some conclusions are drawn as to the purity of theses samples.

Metallurgical Laboratory, Chemical Research - Analytical, Graphite Purity Research Program (open access)

Metallurgical Laboratory, Chemical Research - Analytical, Graphite Purity Research Program

Abstract. Chemical analytical studies of graphite raw materials have revealed new sources of petroleum cokes and pitches of greater purity than those previously used in the manufacture of project graphite. The use of these raw materials of exceptional purity has resulted in an improvement in k of the order of one per cent as compared with the AGOT-AGNT graphite typical of the previous production. A study of the graphitizing process has shown that no dangerous impurities are introduced in the graphite in manufacture; rather, the process actually purifies. furthermore, impurities are distributed homogeneously within the furnace charge; thus the AGOT-AGNT distinction is no longer necessary. A comparison of the methods of graphite testing has demonstrated excellent correlations between chemical analytical data, the results of the function test at Argonne, and the sigma pile experiments. It may therefore be inferred that chemical testing should be an adequate control of the graphite purity. Methods are described for the analysis of ash, B, V, TI, FE, and Ca in petroleum coke, pitch, and graphite.

Melting Point -- Composition Diagrams in the U-UBr3 System (open access)

Melting Point -- Composition Diagrams in the U-UBr3 System

Abstract. A portion of the liquid-solid phase equilibrium region of the system U-UBr3 has been investigated by the method of thermal analysis. Uranium tribromide was prepared by introducing bromine vapor into a bulb containing finely divided uranium formed from the hydride. Cooling curves were obtained with tribromide and then with various compositions of tribromide and uranium. the information obtained showed that no solid sub halide exists but that the metal was soluble in the halide.

TO₃ Reduction and Chlorination in the Experimental Glass Fluidizer

Abstract: "Temperatures above 400 C are required before reduction will take place with AH3. Above 500 C, a pyrophoric product was obtained. The chlorination temperature should be about 350 C initially and above 450 C at the end of the reaction to achieve 99% chlorination."

Abstract: The applicability of specific mixtures and organic chlorocarbons in general toward the chlorination of TO₃ has been tested by means of reactions is sealed glass tubes.

Theoretical Consideration of the Geometrical Structure of the Uranium Halides

Abstract: The geometrical structure of the uranium halides has been studied from a theoretical viewpoint. This theoretical consideration tends to indicate that the pentavalent uranium halides are geometrically but not energetically capable of existence except as double halide compounds of hexavalent and tetravalent uranium.
