The Angular Dependence of Thermal Neutron Spectra in Lattices (open access)

The Angular Dependence of Thermal Neutron Spectra in Lattices

This technical report discusses techniques that have been developed for "computing the angular thermal flux spectrum emerging from a lattice. These methods are applied to water lattices and it is found that the computed spectra are sensitive to the geometrical description of the lattice, but insensitive to the anisotropic scattering by water. Comparisons with measured spectra indicate that corrections for gradients and the finite size of the experimental lattice are important." -- from abstract (p. 3).

Uranium in Peru (open access)

Uranium in Peru

Introduction: From the inception of the effort to utilize atomic energy Perú has been of interest as a possible source of radioactive raw materials because of its great variety and abundance of metals. Because of this and a desire at that time to develop additional supplies of uranium, a cooperative program to search for uranium deposits was initiated in 1953 by the Junta and the USAEC.

Relationships Between the Geologic Environment and Mortality from Congenital Malformation (open access)

Relationships Between the Geologic Environment and Mortality from Congenital Malformation

Abstract: Deaths from congenital malformations as a fraction of total deaths for the period 1952-1956 were tabulated from vital statistics records of the United States. The data were tabulated by county and state and the results grouped by geologic province. The data from this preliminary study suggest that mortality incidence from malformation may be higher in those geologic provinces of the United States that contain major uranium ore deposits, uraniferous waters or helium concentrations. It is inferred that these provinces have a higher than average level of environmental radiation. Although the data do not permit conclusive statements regarding the etiology of congenital malformation in reference to the geologic environment, they are sufficiently provocative to warrant further investigation.

The Uranium-Rhenium Alloy System (open access)

The Uranium-Rhenium Alloy System

Abstract The phase diagram of the uranium-rhenium alloy system is presented along with a discussion on transformation kinetics of the uranium solid solutions. The phase diagram is of the double eutectic type with the intermediate phase having the composition URe2. This phase exhibits allotropy at 180°C and melts congruently at 2200°C. URe2 reacts sluggishly with the uranium solid solutions below 750°C to form the peritectoid compound U2Re. Eutectic reactions occur at 1105° and 2105°C at respective compositions of 10.5 and 65.5 wt. % Re. Eutectoid reactions occur at 643° and 681°C at compositions of 1.4 and 6 wt. % Re, respectively. The maximum solubility of rhenium in α uranium is about 0.4 wt. % at 643°C and in β uranium is 1.9 wt. % at 681°C. The solubility of rhenium in γ uranium is 6 wt. % at 681°C and increases to about 7 wt. % at 975°C. The solubility of uranium in rhenium is 0.6 wt. % at room temperature with little variation up to 2000°C. Alloys of β and γ uranium containing more than about 1.2 and 7 wt. % Re respectively, can be readily supercooled to room temperature. Rapid cooling of γ alloys containing less than about …
