Development of the Higgins Continuous Ion Exchange Contactor for the Recovery of Uranium from Leached Ore Pulps

From introduction: "The objective of this report is to present the results and describe the tests of both the 2-in. D and 6-in. D contractors using mill pulp feeds. Work on determining resign attrition is also reported. ORNL-CF-52-12-101 described the results of preliminary tests using synthetic ore pulps."

The Quantitative Techniques of Scintillation Spectrometry as Applied to the Calibration of Standard Sources (open access)

The Quantitative Techniques of Scintillation Spectrometry as Applied to the Calibration of Standard Sources

Report presenting "the determination of absolute gamma emission rates for monoenergetic gamma emitters using a single-channel scintillation spectrometer. Examples are given for Cr⁵¹, Cs¹³⁷, Nb⁹⁵, and Zn⁶⁵. Sources of error are discussed and steps being taken to improve the accuracy of the method are described" (p. 1).

Studies on the Experimental Pathology and Biochemistry of the Pulmonary Granulomatosis of Beryllium Workers. Section II, Consolidated Progress Report. Supplement: a Review of the Physical Chemistry of Beryllium

The status of research is reviewed in a study of pulmonary granulomatosis in beryllium workers. Equipment for use in dust exposure studies is described. Preliminary results are reported from studies on the tissue distribution and pathological effects of beryllium dust in rats; the physical chemistry of solutions of beryllium salts; the effects of beryllium on enzyme systems, and the effects of ascorbic acid on beryllium excretion.

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner (open access)

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner

The results of an experimental pilot study on the location time, for a sequence of N specified positions on a panel, are given for 1 <_ N <_ 30. The positions to be located were randomly arranged on one set of panels and arranged according to an ordering scheme on a second set of panels. Th location time for N positions randomly arranged on a panel varies approximately as N(2). In the case of an order arrangement the location time is essentially proportional to N. Even for as few as 30 positions, the location time for an random arrangement was twelve times greater than for an order panel. For 60 positions the ratio would be 19, and for 90 positions the ratio would be 26.
