Trajectory-Wise Analysis of Immobilized Plasma Including Electrons. Machine Calculations (open access)

Trajectory-Wise Analysis of Immobilized Plasma Including Electrons. Machine Calculations

Abstract: "The trajectory analysis of an immobilized plasma has been generalized to include the presence of electrons having a far similar radius of gyration and, therefore, fitting readily into the broader scale structure established by the ions. This problem has been adapted to machine calculations and the results for various strengths plasmas have been calculated."

Gamma Rays from Inelastic Scattering of 14-Mev Neutrons on Pb²⁰⁸ (open access)

Gamma Rays from Inelastic Scattering of 14-Mev Neutrons on Pb²⁰⁸

Abstract: "The cross section for the production of 2.61-Mev gamma rays from the Pb-208(n, n')Pb-208* reaction has been measured for five different angles from 50 to 130 degrees. The angular distribution appears to be isotropic within the precision of the experiments, and leads to an integrated cross section of 25.5 +/- 4.6 millibarns."

Factors Affecting the Concentration of TBP Plant Wastes

Introduction: "The problem of determining the properties and necessary controls on the TBP Plant waste disposal to eliminate transport line plugging and to permit higher concentration prior to return of this to the tank farms was studied. A report of preliminary findings was made to L. W. Finsh on January 31, 1953. This report compiles information in the aforementioned report and findings since its issuance. Previous studies related to this problem are summarized in the U. R. Technical Manual, HW-19140."
