The following report measures a shield mockup in three regions: the first made almost entire of iron; the second, transition, region is made of various thicknesses of B4C; and the third region was borated water. The iron samples used in the experiments were made in the form of rectangular plates and place in the lid tank; however, the plates were not completely flat and created a water gap that was measured in this report.

From introduction: "This report summarizes the experimental data obtained at the San Pablo Laboratory on the corrosion of 5% Cr - 0.5% Mo steel by bismuth under conditions that allow mass transfer to occur. The bismuth is circulated through a temperature gradient by means of a thermosiphon loop."

Positive and negative mesons produced in a common target in the cyclotron are received in two photographic plates. In the magnetic field of the cyclotron, negatives are deflected to one plate, positives to the other. The mesons must pass through an absorber before entering the plates in order to be observable.

Abstract: "The information contained in this report consists of personnel exposures to radioactive dust resulting from a thorium rolling operation."

Many procedures for the chemical isolation of the microscopic angular inclusions in rolled uranium have been investigated. Four were selected as most satisfactory for this work and will be described in detail. The procedures are: (1) the copper displacement of the uranium, (2) the electrolytic displacement of the uranium, (3) the chemical dissolution of the uranium in an anhydrous solution of hydrogen chloride in methanol, and (4) the chemical dissolution of the uranium in an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride and hydrogen peroxide.

Unanticipated radioactive contamination of the 200 Areas environs was discovered in the latter part of 1947, about 2.5 years after the startup of the Bismuth Phosphate Separation Plants. It was subsequently established that this contamination was due to radioactive particles emanating from the Separation Plants' stacks, and the need for exhaust ventilation air filtration equipment was recognized. Sand filters were installed in the fall of 1948 in the ventilation systems of the B and T Bismuth Phosphate Plants. These filter units essentially eliminated this contamination problem and have performed satisfactorily to the present time.

The purpose of the test was to insure satisfactory operation of the turbine after overhaul of the turbine which was completed February 1, 1959. The operation of the turbine during this start-up was satisfactory.
