Technical report describing and comparing drilling methods.

Abstract: "Methods for recovering radium from K-65 residue have been investigated. A process using Versene was developed and demonstrated on a laboratory scale. In this process K-65 residue is leached with Versene solution and radium is adsorbed from the leach liquors and purified by the use of cation exchange resin."

Introduction: "This report is an extension of NAA-SR-Memo-178. The results show the number of control rods as a function of the amount of reactivity to be controlled. Numerical solutions are given for a typical example and are readily obtainable for other cases."

Leaching and filtration tests were conducted on dump samples and current residues from Afrikander Lease and Babrosco properties on the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

This document describes a method in determining solid solubilities using strain-aging techniques, explaining a non-uniform yielding of the alloy in question.

From introduction: "The tube arrangement covered in this report was proposed in June, 1950, as a means of halving the weight and volume required for the heat exchanger. Ideally, the pressure drop across this arrangement should be little more than that required to overcome the skin friction on the tube surfaces. If the pressure drop across the tube spacers and in the cross-flow regions can be kept low, this ideal can be approached. much of the test work covered in this report was devoted to this phase of the problem."
