Freezing Point Diagram and Liquid-Liquid Solubilities of the System Uranium Hexafluoride-Hydrogen Fluoride
Abstract: "The complete freezing point diagram for the system uranium hexafluoride-hydrogen fluoride has been determined. In addition, liquid-liquid solubilities of these compounds have been measured up to the consolute temperature of 101 C. A miscibility gap starts at 61.2 C. over the compositions range 10 to 80 mole per cent uranium hexafluoride. The lowest melting point of this binary system under its own pressure, i.e. the eutectic, is -85 C."

Some Studies of the Products of the High-Energy Fission Process
Abstract: "The energy-dependence of the formation cross section of certain nuclides formed in fission of uranium and thorium has been studied. Excitation functions in the hundred-Mev region are given for Ni66, Zr97, Ag111, Ba131, and Ba139. Protons, deuterons, and alpha particles from the Berkeley 184-inch frequency modulated synchro-cyclotron were used to induce the activities."

Mechanical Properties of Zirconium-Tin Alloys
Abstract: "The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of induction-melted, zirconium-tin alloys have been determined. The alloys investigated contained from zero to five per cent tin and up to 0.3% carbon. The zirconium used was United States Bureau of Mines sponge zirconium. The mechanical properties investigated include the tensile, hot-hardness, and impact properties."

Heavy Aggregate Investigation
This report follows a manuscript report made in January 11, 1952, and provides results of a survey that gives corrections as well as suggestions for new and local sources of aggregate material in comparison to the original report. These reports were made in response to a heavy desire of improvement in reactor design and shielding.

X-ray Photometric Assay of Plutonium in Metal Castings
This following report discusses certain topics pertinent to the x-ray photometric method, such as the optimum size of sample and of sample concentration, the technique of measurement for high precision, the use of easily prepared uranium standards for future calibrations and corrections for extraneous substances, and it compares results obtained by both x-ray and chemical assays.

Mathematical Theory of the Lethal Action of Radiation on Yeast Cells
The main part of this thesis is devoted to the derivation and study of formulas for the probability of survival of the haploid and diploid yeast cell, based on models proposed by Zirkle and Tobias. Some properties of so-called completely monotonic functions are developed, and the results are applied to the investigation of some of the more complicated formulas. Finally the theoretical expressions are compared with the experimental data obtained by Tobias.

Thermal Spikes and Uranium Instability
Thermal spikes occurring during the life of a slug in a pile cause a momentary destruction of the original configuration of atoms in the metal. This process occurs at such a rate that in a thermal neutron flux of 10(13) neutrons per square centimeter per second each atom in the metal will be subject to temperatures above the melting point of uranium every 40 minutes.

Heat Exchanger Design Charts
From introduction: "The ORNL-ANP liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger design and development effort has been based on an exceptionally high performance matrix of closely-spaced small diameter tubes that permits practically pure counter-flow operation. In the course of full-scale aircraft power plant design work a number of charts for this type of heat exchanger has been prepared. These charts were intended in part to show the effects of the various parameters in a readily understandable form, and in part to simplify and to reduce markedly the chore of making detailed design calculations. These charts have proved so helpful it seemed very worthwhile to assemble them into a report along with brief explanations and sample calculations."

Nitration Reactions of Shell Spray Base under Purex Waste Recovery Process Conditions
Abstract: "Experiments were performed to characterize the types of nitro compounds that might be formed by reaction of Shell Spray Base with nitric acid, to determine the extent of their formation, if any, and their path under conditions of nitric acid recovery in the Purex Process. It is concluded that the instability of Shell Spray Base to nitration, under conditions to prevail in the plant, presents neither a disposal problem nor a safety problem."

Dissolution of NaK
Abstract: "A rapid yet safe method for the dissolution of sodium-potassium alloys prior to chemical or instrumental analysis has been devised. The alloy is submerged beneath the surface of an inert organic reagent and dissolved at a controlled rate by adding methanol drop-by-drop. A blanket of inert gas is maintained over the reaction flask. The procedure has been successfully used to dissolve samples of NaK in the range of 0.05 to 25 grams."
