The distribution of thermal neutrons in a W slug having a one centimeter aluminum end cap has been calculated on the basis of simple diffusion theory. It is found that the average neutron density, and therefore the power output, at the end of the slug is about 34% higher than the density far from the end cap. This result agrees well with the recent Argonne pile experiments (CP-1729).

In making various experimental heat studies a power producing metal slug is simulated by a slug with a graphite rod electrode of 3/8" diameter inserted lengthwise through it. There is a helium filled annular space between the graphite and the inner surface of the slug cylinder. Radiant heat passes from the electrode to the metal; with proper adjustment of the electrode current the slug in the steady state will therefor "produce" the same amount of energy from its exterior surface as it would under operating conditions. The question arises, however, as to how uniform the electrode temperature is along its length. And also, in some cases one end of the electrode is embedded in the slug metal; it is then desirable to know how much heat flows by conduction from the electrode into the slug.

Technical report describing the investigation of the short-lived activities produced in oxygen compounds by irradiation with pile neutrons. The most prominent of these activities in cooling water is a beta and gamma emitting activity of about 8 second half-life. Because of its production by epicadmium neutrons it was believed to be the 8 second N16 produced in the pile by n,p on O16. The identification has been accomplished and it is established that the 8 second activity is N16. Part 2 of the report deals with the determination of the recoil range of the Al28 atoms formed by pile n,p reaction on Al27.
