Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microorganisms (open access)

Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Microorganisms

Resting cells of eleven microorganisms were exposed to radioactive carbon dioxide for 40 minutes. The radioactive compounds formed during this time were separated and identified by paper chromatography. Resting cells of Lactobacillus casei fixed no carbon dioxide and growing cells fixed carbon dioxide primarily in malic and aspartic acids. All of the radioactive compounds formed could have become radioactive by reversal of known decarboxylation reactions.

Criticality hazards in processing 1% enriched uranium (open access)

Criticality hazards in processing 1% enriched uranium

Possible hazards involved in the Mallinckrodt procedures for processing l%-enriched U are analyzed, and necessary precautions are specified. No danger is possible inhandling any amount of nominally l% U in the reduction of UF/sup 4/ to metal, cooling, or remelting. Critical amounts might conceivably be accumulated during the rolling to 3/4'' rod, in which case an''always safe'' amount is indicated. (B.J.H.) 2l92 A neutron burst from an untamped cylindrieal enriched U assembly occurred si ihe Pajarito Remote Control Laboratory ai 1800 hours on 18 April, 1952. The circumstances causing the burst and a description of the assembly involved are given. There was no personnel hazard. Normal operations could have been resumed on other assemblies within two or three hours after the burst. No evidence of damage to the enriched U was observed. Also reported are some results of computations and past-burst tests and a discussion of probable time behavior of power level during the burst. (auth)

Insulating webbing between thermal shield and graphite reflector (open access)

Insulating webbing between thermal shield and graphite reflector

The purpose of this document is to present the bases and calculations which resulted in the conclusion given in the letter of October 17. Also, the original calculations were made on the basis that the webbing face thickness is equal to 1/2 inch, which is no longer the case. The new thickness is 3/4 inch. This alters the condition of heat generation. Consideration is given to the heat generation in the legs.
