Radioactive debris from operations Tumbler and Snapper: observations beyond 200 miles from the test site. Part II (open access)

Radioactive debris from operations Tumbler and Snapper: observations beyond 200 miles from the test site. Part II

The results of the fall-out monitoring program at fixed stations more than 200 miles from the test site following the series of atomic tests in Nevada during the spring of 1952 are shown in a series of maps. Trajectories of debris from the individual bursts are given, together with a discussion of meteorological phenomena associated with the transport of atomic debris.

Preliminary Investigation of a Variable-Area Auxiliary Air-Intake System at Mach Numbers From 0 to 1.3 (open access)

Preliminary Investigation of a Variable-Area Auxiliary Air-Intake System at Mach Numbers From 0 to 1.3

"A variable-area auxiliary air scoop in combination with a fixed-area nose intake was tested at Mach numbers from 0 to 1.3. The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of such an auxiliary intake in improving the net thrust of an intake-engine combination over a range of speeds. The results indicated that the internal flow was always stable and that improvements in net thrust would be realized at Mach numbers up to about 1.1 for an intake design Mach number of 1.3" (p. 1).

Stored Energy in BNL Reactor Graphite (open access)

Stored Energy in BNL Reactor Graphite

Radiation damage to graphite has several consequences of practical importance. The growth of graphite under radiation (Wigner's disease) in production reactors has always been a serious concern. The thermal conductivity of graphite decreases greatly with time of irradiation and is important in long range studies of reactor temperature problems.
