A Non-Gravimetric Method for the Determination of Uranium on Platinum Discs

From abstract: "This paper discusses a method for the determination of uranium on platinum discs which does not involve direct weighing of the deposited film. A statistical analysis of the results obtained indicates that the procedure is more consistent than that based on a gravimetric method and offers a relatively quick and convenient means for obtaining uranium assay results where an accuracy of approximately 99% is desired."

The Reduction of Uranium Trioxide by Ethyl Alcohol (open access)

The Reduction of Uranium Trioxide by Ethyl Alcohol

Abstract: The effect of temperature upon the rate of reduction of uranium trioxide by ethyl alcohol has been investigated, and a comparison of the reactivity of the dioxide produced at various temperatures has been made. The percent of carbon in the end product has been studied with respect to both temperature of reduction and length of exposure to alcohol. Optimum conditions for the reduction have been suggested.

Argonne National Laboratory Biology Division Quarterly Report: August to October, 1946 (open access)

Argonne National Laboratory Biology Division Quarterly Report: August to October, 1946

From introductory paragraph: "This is the first quarterly report of the Biology Division of the Argonne National Laboratory. During the three-month period covered by this report, a large share of the time of many investigators has been spent in collating work done under the Biology Section of the Metallurgical laboratory for publication in the Plutonium Project Record. The large amount of work done under wartime pressure has made this, as in other divisions and projects, an important part of the transition to the post-war period."

Identification and Characterization of Shielded Isotopes in Uranium Fission (open access)

Identification and Characterization of Shielded Isotopes in Uranium Fission

Abstract: "The first shielded isotope, 34th Br-82 has been isolated in fission. Its fission yield is about 3 x 10-(-5)%. This is a direct measurement of the yield of a primary fission product and gives direct information as to the distribution of nuclear charge among primary fission fragments of given mass numbers as discussed by Glendenin and Coryell."
