The solubility constants are presented for He , Kr , Xe , O2 , N2 , and air in H20 . Inter-diffusion constants for gases and the diffusion of gases in water are given.

When a slug has been displaced from its normal position the thickness of the water film is decreased over part of the surface, and higher temperatures may be expected where the film is thin. The experimental data necessary for an exact calculation is incomplete, but some approximate estimates ae made here with special assumption concerning the heat transfer coefficient h as a function of the angle p from the point where the water film is thinnest. Variation in water bulk temperature around the annulus due to poor mixing is not considered here.

Some idealized considerations of the temperature field in the homogeneous pile are given. It is crudely estimated that the effective mean temperature rise of the pile to be used in calculating the k loss is something like 3/4 the rise in temperature of the slurry in passing through the pile.

Abstract: "The half-life of polonium has been measured by a calorimetric method using samples several thousand times larger than have been previously available. The value is found to be 138.3 +/- 0.1% days."

Abstract: "Hexavalent uranium in weakly acid solution produces with a large excess of ascorbic acid a yellow-brown color whose intensity under certain conditions is a linear function of uranium concentration. Chloride, nitrate, perchlorate, along with Fe, Cd, Mn, Na, Ca, Sn, Mg and Th are without effect on the color while phosphate, sulfate, fluoride, citrate, tartrate, oxalate, chromium, and vanadium and moderate amounts of Ni, Zn, Mo and Al interfere. A rapid ether extraction procedure for purification of the uranium has been developed."

Abstract: "The possibility of detecting small quantities of uranium with an X-ray spectrometer was investigated. An X-ray spectrograph was modified by substituting a geiger counter for the photographic film. Both primary and secondary methods of excitation were studied. Radiation background of high intensity and variability limits the sensitivity of the present apparatus to 1%. Suggestions are made for increasing the sensitivity of the method."

The following report summarizes the data taken from a series of measurements on the combustion and ignition properties of hexone. The experiments were taken at the Bureau of Mines Central Experiment Station by their personnel, and the samples were given to them by KAPL and Hanford.

This report describes the preparation and testing of corrosion on brazed, vacuum-tight aluminum joints for finned aluminum tubing to contain uranium slugs.
