Uranyl Sulfate-Dovex 21K Anion Exchange: A Literature Survey, Review of Preliminary Data and Outline of a Proposal Experimental Program (open access)

Uranyl Sulfate-Dovex 21K Anion Exchange: A Literature Survey, Review of Preliminary Data and Outline of a Proposal Experimental Program

The system Dovex 21K and aqueous uranyl sulfate solutions were studied in the solution compositions range: 0-0.005 mol/liter uranyl sulfate, 0.15 mil/liter total sulfate, 0.02 mol/liter H2SO4 (pH 2).It is shown that UO3SO4 and/or UO2(SO4)2-/2 are sorbed on the resin to form R2UO2(SO4)2. It is surmized that these same species are also involved at high uranyl concentrations and pH 2 it is suggested that U2O5SO4, U2O5(SO4)2-/2, and R2U2O3SO4 species may be involved.

Cratering Experience With Chemical And Nuclear Explosives (open access)

Cratering Experience With Chemical And Nuclear Explosives

Over the past 13 years a considerable body of data on explosive cratering has been developed for application to nuclear excavation projects. These data were obtained from some ten cratering programs using chemical explosives (TNT or nitromethane) and seven nuclear cratering detonations. The types of media studied have ranged from marine muck to hard, dry basalt, although most effort has been devoted to craters in NTS desert alluvium and basalt. Considerable effort has also been devoted to the study with chemical explosives of the use of linear explosives and rows of point charges. This paper is intended to be a summary of these data and a statement of the understanding which has been developed from them.

Feasibility of In Vivo Plutonium Measurements (open access)

Feasibility of In Vivo Plutonium Measurements

It was shown that without further major development the detectors proposed for the Body Monitor can be expected to detect 0.02 microcurie of plutonium at the center of the chest cavity. This is the permissible body burden of insoluble forms of plutonium. The detection level can be decreased by decreasing the background counting rate. Decreases in the background can reasonably be expected; it should be possible to detect a small fraction of the permissible body burden. If it can be shown, as suggested by other work, that americium will remain with plutonium, then within at least a few months after entry into the body it should be possible to measure the plutonium by detection of rays from Am²⁴¹.

Braze Ring Mold for Sintering & Casting (open access)

Braze Ring Mold for Sintering & Casting

Technical report of an investigation to determine a suitable material for sintering and casting of braze rings. Braze rings afford an excellent means of preplacing braze alloy on tube to head joints of radiators, heat exchangers, and similar applications. A cast ring is especially desirable because of its increased strength. Previous efforts at casting had used welding grade carbon blocks with the desired ring cavities machined into their surface. Conclusion: Stackpole grade 331 electro-graphite provided the best results of the materials investigation. It is hard and more readily machinable with conventional tools than other grades. Carbon, in general, proved to be more satisfactory especially due its ease and speed of fabrication.
