Automatic Foil Activity Counting Facility and Data-Reduction Program (open access)

Automatic Foil Activity Counting Facility and Data-Reduction Program

Report describing a transistorized automatic counting and recording system built for the determination of foil-activation data. Some of the convenience requirements of the system were that the output be more suitable for computer processing, automatic sensing of the type of count recorded, and ready availability of the data at all stages of processing.

Recrystallization in Rolled Uranium Sheet (open access)

Recrystallization in Rolled Uranium Sheet

From Introduction: "To overcome the difficulties another investigation has been carried out wherein the rolling stock was subjected to step reduction and annealing treatments designed to develop a small, uniform grain size prior to the final rolling at room temperature. The results of metallographic, dilatometric, and X-ray diffraction studies of this material are given."
