Calorimetric Calibration of a Graphite Walled, Cavity-Type Ionization Chamber (open access)

Calorimetric Calibration of a Graphite Walled, Cavity-Type Ionization Chamber

Technical report outlining cavity-type ionization chambers with graphite walls that are used to measure heat dissipation in the graphite reflector of the MTR mock-up. Studies the relationship between the ionization occurring in the chamber and the heat generated in the surrounding graphite medium. [From Abstract]

Mercury Amalgam Bonding of Uranium and Copper (open access)

Mercury Amalgam Bonding of Uranium and Copper

Technical report summarizing one phase of work done to develop methods of bonding uranium to a metal which is a good conductor of heat. Silver was chosen for contact with uranium because it is easy to plate on uranium and there is no danger of brittle Ag-U compounds being formed at elevated temperatures. [From Abstract]
