Small Source Model of a Thermal Pile (open access)

Small Source Model of a Thermal Pile

Report discussing the use of a small-source approximation for engineering calculation of thermal piles. Explanation for how this type of approximation is more appropriate in certain problematic situations where a homogenization approximation would be doubtful is given.

The Mechanism of Carrying Pu(III) on Lanthanum Fluoride (open access)

The Mechanism of Carrying Pu(III) on Lanthanum Fluoride

From introduction: "Analytical procedures for the determination of plutonium samples from the extraction and concentration plants utilize the carrying of the hydroxylamine-reduced trivulent plutonium by coprecipitation on lanthanum fluoride. Most other plutonium procedures also take advantage of the efficient carrying on lanthanum fluoride."
