Reconnaissance of Henry Mountains Area, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah (open access)

Reconnaissance of Henry Mountains Area, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah

From introduction: A trip into the Henry Mountains area occupied the days from March 6 to 9, 1951, inclusive, excepting March 7, which was used to examine Reo Hunt's deposit in Poison Spring Wash. Observations were made on stratigraphy, regional geology, and the locations of the known deposits of uranium and vanadium.

Feasibility Study of a Neutron Flux Bolometer (open access)

Feasibility Study of a Neutron Flux Bolometer

Abstract: "A small low impedance flux monitoring device has been built which utilizes the heating (and consequent chance in resistance) of a boron coated platinum wire. Feasibility tests in the Argonne-GP-3 reactor indicate that it may develop into a wide range instrument, particularly useful at high flux levels. Design and constructional details of the bolometer and its associated circuits are given. The circuitry is somewhat unique since it is in effect an all electronic self-balancing bridge. Future lines of research are suggested to solve some of the remaining problems."

Analysis of Lid Tank Neutron Data for Lead and Iron (open access)

Analysis of Lid Tank Neutron Data for Lead and Iron

Abstract: An analysis of the lid tank neutron data for Pb-H2O and Fe-H2O is made. "Effective" fast neutron cross sections for the metals are obtained. This is based on the "one collision theory" of shielding. Values are 3.4 barns for Pb and 2.0 barns for Fe. These compare very well with those obtained by Albert and Welton based on other lid tank data and another method of calculation.

Irradiation Effects on 2S Aluminum (open access)

Irradiation Effects on 2S Aluminum

As a result of unreported information, it was suspected by some people that a change in dimension was experienced by 2S Aluminum due to a sudden change in neutron flux impinging on it. This was thought to be of the order of 500 microinches per inch in magnitude. Such an effect, if present, could help explain some of the creep phenomena reported lately (i.e. change in creep rate due to cyclotron bombardment.)

Status of Radioactive Waste Processing and Accumulation in Presently Operating AEC Research and Productive Sites

It is the purpose of this report to present a quantitative picture of the overall waste problems at the presently operating major A.E.C. sites. Presented herewith are data on the volumes and radioactive concentrations of the wastes handled and effluents discharged, available tankage and processes flow sheets from each site.
