Abstract: "A method of recovering the tuballoy from the trap washes of the high temperature salvage chlorinator is described."

Abstract: Twenty-two metallic oxides were refluxed with hexachloropropylene. The anhydrous chlorides or other products formed are described for each oxide. The reactions were particularly vigorous with higher valent oxides of the fifth and sixth group elements.

The following report provides data based off of the solubility of sodium uranyl acetate that was measured under a variety if conditions.

This report describes observations of a sample of Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, made using the method of mass spectrometry.

This report discusses the field of nucleonics in the wake of the development of the atomic bomb, ruminating on the training and curriculum necessary for the next generation of chemical and nuclear engineers.

From abstract: "A pile will run steadily at an arbitrary level if it is just critical. For a pile not at equilibrium, equations of motion can be set up that contain as variables the pile power, the number of delayed neutron emitters and, in case it is of importance, also the pile temperature. The coefficients will depend on the average lifetime of the neutrons in the pile, the fractions and periods of delayed neutrons, temperature coefficients of resistivity and similar quantities. For a definite 'excess resistivity', which may be positive or negative, the power level will change exponentially with time with periods determined by the so-called 'labour' relation. For control and safety problems the transient behavior of the pile under reactivity changes has to be investigated. A number of limiting cases can be solved explicitly. A general method for the solution of the pile equations is available for small deviations from a steady state. In this case a pile impedance can be defined in close analogy to electric circuit theory."

With discussion under way concerning power production by chain reacting piles, it becomes pertinent to consider the ration of the temperature of the hottest spot in the pile to the average exit temperature of the cooling stream. This is important because the temperature of the hottest spot in the pile is one of the limiting factors in determining the maximum power at which a pile can be operated. However, the higher the temperature of the emerging cooling stream, the more efficient can be the thermal engine operated by it. Thus the ideal situation is to have the average exit temperature of the cooling stream as near as possible to the hottest temperature of the hottest spot in the pile.
