Preshot and Postshot Safety Survey of Oil and Gas Facilities, Baxterville Field, Mississippi, Final Report (open access)

Preshot and Postshot Safety Survey of Oil and Gas Facilities, Baxterville Field, Mississippi, Final Report

From introduction: Oil and gas wells and related facilities of the Baxterville field were surveyed to document any physical changes resulting from the Salmon Event. All such structures within a 5-mile radius of Ground Zero were examined and photographed in detail.

Neutron Total Cross Section for Bismuth and Uranium Between 45 and 160 Mev (open access)

Neutron Total Cross Section for Bismuth and Uranium Between 45 and 160 Mev

"Neutron total cross sections for bismuth and uranium have been measured in a good geometry transmission experiment, using a time-of-flight instrumentation. The source of neutrons was the stripped deuteron beam of the 184-inch synchrocyclotron. The results are shown in Fig. 1. Uncertainties are shown in terms of standard deviations, due to counting statistics only, and to energy channel width."

Recovery of Uranium From Fiberglass Air Filters (open access)

Recovery of Uranium From Fiberglass Air Filters

Abstract: Various procedures for extracting uranium from fiberglass air filters have been tested and compared. Satisfactory results which involve the least amount of handling are obtained by simply washing the material with hot 1:1 hydrochloric acid.

The Development of Fixed Screen Resin-In-Pulp Devices (open access)

The Development of Fixed Screen Resin-In-Pulp Devices

A resin-in-pulp process was developed using a series of fixed-screen or Winchester cells. Various laboratory and pilot plant models were constructed and tested under simulated plant conditions. The fixed-screen device proved very effective in the recovery of uranium and/or vanadium by a continuous, resin-in-pulp process.
