Aqueous Corrosion of Uranium and Alloys: Survey of Project Literature

This report describes corrosion rate of uranium in hydrogen-saturated water appears to be constant with respect to time after a brief induction period and to involve only one type of over-all reaction, in which pitting effects are slight or nonexistent.

Calculations on U235 Fission Product Decay Chains

Report of equations for calculating decay of U235. The introduction states" Calculations have been made on the U235 fission product decay schemes. The results for a typical example, that of a reactor operating at 1000 kilowatts for 180 days, have been tabulated and graphed. General formulae have been used so that the results can be applied for any power level and any time of irradiation" (p. 2).
