Engineering Work Requests ESE-48 & 49 established a program for performance of Qualification Approval Tests on RPC`s 0.2 and 40 meghom Carbon Composition Resistors. This report is an accounting of these tests wherein (50) samples of each component were subjected to QA tests per drawings 8O2C250 and 802C251. Tests are explained and results tabulated.

In a previous study the trimer of rhenium tetracarbonyl was found to be diamagnetic, suggesting the presence of hydrogen in the compound. This was supported by chemical analysis, which indicated about one hydrogen per rhenium, and the compound was formulated as [Re(C0)4H] 3• Subsequently a proton resonance was observed on a broad line spectrometer. In the original work the infrared spectra were compared for the hydride and deuteride; cyclohexane solutions were used for the CO stretching region and KBr discs were used for the rest of the spectrum. Surprisingly, the spectra of the hydride and deuteride showed only minor differences, insufficient to confirm the presence of hydrogen. No evidence of a hydrogen stretching frequency was found. In the present work, the previously unobserved Raman spectra were measured for the hydride and deuteride . In the solid state ratber striking shifts were observed in the CO stretching region. Also there is some evidence for a metal-hydrogen stretching band at the rather low frequency of 1100 cm-1. In an attempt to support the interpretation of the Raman spectra more detailed infrared studies of the solid in KBr discs were made. The hope was to observe a metal-hydrogen stretching frequency and to explain …

To evaluate the crudding characteristics of ammonium hydroxide conditioned coolant it is necessary to use a thermocouple element. The present design has accentuated structural integrity, reliability and constant heat flux. A radical departure from past designs was made by selecting a stainless steel cladding and enriched ceramic fuel. Three thermocouples are inserted in the cladding to increase the reliability. By the use of two thermocouple elements it will be possible to obtain important preliminary information on preferential crud deposition while simultaneously evaluating the crudding characteristics of ammonium hydroxide conditioned coolant.

An accurate determination of the parameters of the resonance excited by the interaction of the 132 eV neutrons with the Co 59 target nucleus has been made, using the fast choppers at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States and Chalk River Laboratory in Canada. Neutron transmission through thick and thin samples resulted in the following parameters: [parameters not transcribed]. In addition, measurements of the resonance capture γ-ray intensity gave the value for the radiation width Γγ= 0.40 ± 0.04 eV, based on the known thermal capture cross section of cobalt of 37.5 barns. The reduced and total resonance capture integrals are calculated from the above parameters to be 50.5 ± 5.5 and 67.0 ± 5.5 barns, respectively. The above results are compared with previously determined resonance parameters and also with direct measurements of the total resonance capture integral.

The new sector-focused cyclotrons have more energetic and better focused beams at the extraction radius than do ordinary cyclotrons. While the first characteristic requires a more intense electric field, the second permits this field to extend over a smaller volume. By tailoring the electrode geometry to these characteristics of the beam, the required deflector gap and electrode surface become smaller, and a higher gradient can be held without sparking. A different compromise between radioactivity, power dissipation, and resistance to spark damage must be made in selecting electrode materials. Carefully designed electrostatic deflectors perform very well in sector-focused cyclotrons of intermediate energy. Deflector efficiencies of about 50% and external-beam intensities of 20 {micro}A have been obtained in the Lawrence Laboratory's 88 -Inch Cyclotron.
