Development of Isotope Dilution Techniques for Assay of Food Additives (open access)

Development of Isotope Dilution Techniques for Assay of Food Additives

"lsotope dilution techniques are described for the assay of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides and organic phosphorus pesticides in foods. Results are given for the determination of tetranitro-DDT-dianilide, dianilide of tetranitro- DDE, dieldrin, systox, and derivatives of these compounds. "

On the Calibration of Cascade Impactors (open access)

On the Calibration of Cascade Impactors

From Abstract: "In the following paper, the two customary methods of calibrating cascade impactors are compared. It is shown that the method of determining collection efficiency as a function of particle size for each stage provides information for interpreting results in terms of impactor theory, making it possible to establish adequate jet performance."

Fast Neutron Flux Measurements and Analysis in SM-1 and PM-2A Core and Vessel Mockups (open access)

Fast Neutron Flux Measurements and Analysis in SM-1 and PM-2A Core and Vessel Mockups

Abstract: This technical report contains a summary of experimental and analytical work performed on cold clean SM-1 Core II with special components and PM-2A Core I each with thermal shield and vessel mockups. The purpose of this work was to define the neutron intensity and spectra to which the pressure vessels are subjected in order to assess the effect of irradiation on the vessel lifetimes. The radial distributions of the energy dependent neutron flux per unit power in the core and vessel mockups are presented. The uncertainties associated with the measurements are also given. In addition to graphical and tabular presentations of the test results, discussions are provided on the experimental techniques and theory. A review of the analytical models is provided in addition to the calculational results. A special analytical study of the the PM-2A Core I power distribution and absolute power level determination is given. A comparison of the experimental and analytical results is made and conclusions and recommendations presented.

Discussion of Quadrupole Precession (open access)

Discussion of Quadrupole Precession

From abstract: "In this paper the motion of a nucleus with an intrinsic quadrupole moment in an external electrostatic field gradient is discussed from a classical point of view. It is shown that in the classical approximation the angular momentum may precess about the direction of strongest field gradient or about the direction of intermediate field gradient, but not about the direction of weakest field gradient. The classical precession frequencies are found to be related to the quantum mechanical dipole transition frequencies."
