Refrigeration System Used in Mercury Isotope Collections (open access)

Refrigeration System Used in Mercury Isotope Collections

From introduction: During 1948, the Isotope Research and Production Division undertook to obtain small quantities of nearly pure mercury isotopes by electromagnetic isotope separation. The possible use of a mercury isotope of even-numbered mass to establish an international standard of length required an isotopic purity greater than 99 per cent. It, became apparent that this degree of separation could only be achieved by preventing random diffusion of un-ionized mercury which otherwise would contaminate the isotope collectors.

Materials Testing Reactor Project : Addendum to Reactor Building Wing Report, Design Report No. 27A

"Changes, corrections and additions to the original report are included in this addendum. These are brought about by further development of the design by Blaw-Knox, AHL and ORNL. The changes in the original wiritings are listed below in accordance with the main headings, pages and paragraphs to which they apply. Following this is a list of the contemplated personnel in the MTR program. This listing sets out the number of offices and the office furniture requirements. Also numbers for lockers, showers, toilets and rest rooms are set forth. Although the listing includes all major buildings planned for the site, it is included here since the reactor building wing is more markedly influenced by office requirements."

Effect of Temperature on Beta-Ray Measurements

Summary: "This report investigates photographic methods of measuring beta radiation and includes a study of temperature effects on these measurements. Experimental data are submitted to show that an increase in film temperature before and during beta irradiation causes a definite increase in density for the same dosage. Recommendations drawn from experience gained in the experimental works are offered."

The Determination of Uranium by Potentiometric Titration with Ferric Sulfate

Abstract: "A method for the potentiometric titration of uranium with ferric sulfate is described. This method provides a rapid and accurate way of determining the element in solutions free from interfering ions. Application of the method to analysis of pure uranium compounds and to uranium recovered from contaminated solutions by suitable procedures is briefly discussed."
