Quantities of the order of ten million to 100 million radioactive particles per month were emitted from the stacks over a period of several months. High activity in the range 0.1 to 3..mu..c was probably confined to large carrier particles of corrosion debris from iron ductwork in the separations plant ventilation air system. This report discusses chemical, physical and radiochemical properties of the particles, and possible biological and health effects of exposure to them. (ACR)

This letter itemizes the miscellaneous equipment and supplies not previously specified which should be ordered to equip the 234-5 Chemical Development Laboratory. Equipment currently carried in store stock is not included in this list. The vendor is given only to identify the item or as a suggested source of supply.

Report presenting testing of a semispan model of a wing of triangular plan form and aspect ratio 2 in the 12-foot pressure tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing as influenced by the independent effects of Reynolds number and Mach number up to Mach numbers approaching unity. Results regarding the effect of body and effect of wing-profile modification are also provided.

Memorandum presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the low-speed characteristics of horizontal tails of aspect ratio 3 with unswept and swept-back plan forms. Two models were tested which had identical areas, aspect ratio, taper ratio, and airfoil section, differing only in the angle of sweepback and elevator area ratios. The major effect of sweepback was to increase the rate of change of hinge-moment coefficient with angle of attack, to reduce the rate of change with elevator deflection, and to reduce the elevator effectiveness.

Report presenting an investigation of turbine operating temperatures as affected by liquid cooling, especially if materials of high conductivity are used, at gas temperatures up to 1925 degrees Fahrenheit. Results regarding the statio heat-transfer rig and turbine rig are provided. The investigation showed that nonstrategic material such as aluminum alloy can be used in liquid-cooled turbine wheels at high gas temperatures.

"Gust-velocity measurements and air-borne-radar observations obtained during a transcontinental flight in July 1947 have been analyzed as part of a general investigation of the uses of air-borne radar. The analysis indicates that some reduction in turbulence and a consequent reduction in the risk of encountering the larger gust velocities may be obtained by avoiding portions of clouds giving a radar echo" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation to determine which of two ceramic coatings, L-7C and A-417, developed by the National Bureau of Standards is more suitable as a protective coating for turbine blades in a turbojet engine. Four cast Vitallium turbine blades, two coated with each of the ceramics, were installed in a turbine wheel of a turbojet engine and subjected to accelerated cyclic life tests.

Report presenting an investigation with a ram-jet combustion chamber to determine the effect of fuel-air ratio and the inlet-air parameters of pressure, temperature, and velocity on combustion limit, combustion efficiency, and flame length.

Results of a wind-tunnel investigation at a Reynolds number of 6.8 x 10(exp 6) to determine the static longitudinal stability characteristics of a 42 degree sweptback wing and fuselage combination with a sweptback horizontal tail are provided. Included are the effects of vertical position of fuselage and tail with respect to wing for several combinations of high-lift and staff-control devices. Also included is the effect of a simulated ground.
