Crystal Structure Studies of the System NaF-UF4, NaF-ThF4 and NaF-LaF3

Abstract: In the NaF-UF4 system the following intermediate phases have been found: NaUF5, -Na2UF6, -Na2UF6 and NacUF7. NaLaF4 is the only intermediate phase observed in the system NaF-LaF3. In the course of an incomplete study of the system NaF-ThF4 the phases NaTh2F9, -Na2ThF6, -Na2ThF6 and Na4ThF8 have been observed. Crystal structure data are given for all the phases.

Identification and Crystal Structure of Barium Hydrogen Phosphate (open access)

Identification and Crystal Structure of Barium Hydrogen Phosphate

From abstract: "The report describes the complete structure of barium hydrogen phosphate, Ba HPO4, as determined by means of x-ray diffraction. The crystal is orthorhombic, with cell dimensions given by a=5.71 A b=7.05 A c=4.61 A. The calculated density is 4.15gm/cm[^]3 for two molecules in the unit cell. The space group is C[subscript]2v[superscript]7-pmn. The barium, phosphorus, and two sets of oxygen lie in the plane of symmetry. The third set of oxygens are in general positions. Parameters for these atoms have been found, and interatomic distances calculated. The positions of the hydrogens are indicated by the characteristics O-H-O distance (2.58A) between two oxygens."

The Metabolism of Thorium, Protoactinium, and Neptunium in the Rat (open access)

The Metabolism of Thorium, Protoactinium, and Neptunium in the Rat

From abstract: "The distribution of carrier-free thorium, protoactinium and neptunium in the rat following intramuscular and oral administration has been studied. Oral adsorption for all three is negligible. Following parenteral administration, the skeleton is the organ showing the highest degree of prolonged and selective localization."

The Effects of Fast Neutrons on the Ability of Mice to Take Forced Exercise (open access)

The Effects of Fast Neutrons on the Ability of Mice to Take Forced Exercise

From abstract: "In an attempt to gain some insight into the physiological condition of mice surviving massive doses of radiation, a study of their vitality was undertaken. It was assured that the ability of these animals to do forced work would be a measure of their vitality, Stimulating exposed animals to run in exercise wheels to their fullest capacity, has resulted in a demonstration of a striking vitality less during a post-irradiative period, when no other effects are demonstrable by gross examination. Mice subjected to a medium-lethal dose of fast neutrons show a continuous vitality loss over a 300 day period following exposure. Control animals show no appreciable loss of vitality up to about 8 months of age, after which a gradual loss can be noted, probably due to a normal gereologic process."

Inorganic Separations Using Ion Exchange (open access)

Inorganic Separations Using Ion Exchange

From summary: "In previous project work, dilute mixtures of inorganic cations in aqueous solution have been concentrated by adsorption of the cations on a synthetic resin and they have been fractionated by selective desorption of the cations from the resin. In this report..the general procedure used in chemical separation, the equipment used, and the theory of the exchange equilibria and of the reaction rates are presented."
