1944-1945 annual report from the Dept. of Dermatology and Syphilology at UTMB, submitted to Dr. Chauncey D. Leake by Dr. Chester N. Frazier, with an introductory letter from Frazier's secretary, Wilma Waterman. Inlcuded is information on the department's budget, personnel, clinics, divisions, scholarships, tables of patients, and other pertinent information to its operation.

From abstract: "A fine-grain emulsion has been found which is sensitive only to the densely ionizing fission fragments. This emulsion was soaked in uranyl acetate and exposed to slow neutrons. The ranges in the emulsion of about four-hundred fission fragments were measured. The resulting distribution shows a sharp maximum at 23 microns of emulsion. No ternary fissions or large-angle scattering of fragments were observed."

In this document, information about the need for a better compound to for filtering process water from the production reactors. It was found that the natural turbidity in the Columbia River was high enough to necessitate the use of a coagulant to minimize the passage of iron through filters. Tests indicated that Ferrisul was the better of the two compounds tested.

Report outlining a study that tested the use of colorimetric methods with high concentration phosphoric acid as a solvent for rapid analysis of mixtures of T^+4 and T^+6.

Introduction: This report embodies the results of an investigation as to the possibility of removing the bulk of the iron from gunk solutions of various concentrations by precipitation of the iron with phthallic acid and subsequent precipitation of tuballoy. The method consists of dissolving the phthallic acid in the gunk solution and then adding NH₃ to a suitable pH, precipitating the iron, and leaving the tuballoy in solution.

A number of slugs have been dipped in lead, then Al-Si and canned. Laboratory experiments showed that the can and outer bonding layers could be removed by the standard caustic-nitrate treatment. The alloy layer was removed from several slugs by hot nitric acid without use of hydrofluoric acid. It was desired to extend the method to the plant process and to clean accumulated lead dipped pieces. Lead dipped slugs may be cleaned by the regular recovery process with a weight loss of about 0.03 lbs. per slug. Attempts to modify or shorten the procedure were not successful. Twenty-four (24) of the recovered slugs were canned satisfactorily.
