Hydromagnetic Ionizing Waves (open access)

Hydromagnetic Ionizing Waves

It is possible to generate a relatively uniform, highly ionized plasma by passing a powerful discharge between electrodes so arranged that the current is forced to flow across an initial strong magnetic field. The magnetic induction due to the discharge causes a bending of the original field. If the discharge is operated with a low-impedance current source, the electric breakdown starts in a limited region near the current-input connections (minimum-inductance path) and propagates as a well-defined front in the manner of a hydromagnetic shock wave. In this paper we analyze the phenomenon as a one-dimensional single-fluid hydromagnetic problem, neglecting dissipation behind the wave.

The Separation of Uranium and Plutonium Isotopes in Chemical Exchange Systems (open access)

The Separation of Uranium and Plutonium Isotopes in Chemical Exchange Systems

The purpose of this paper is to examine the theory and results of chemical exchange experiments for separation of heavy metal isotopes. The aim is to find a means of predicting those chemical exchange systems likely to produce large isotopic separation factors.

Remark on the Radiative Muon Decay in the Theory With an Intermediate Vector Meson (open access)

Remark on the Radiative Muon Decay in the Theory With an Intermediate Vector Meson

"The problem of explaining the lack of radiative muon decay in an intermediate charged vector meson theory is discussed. A possible way of introducing the charged vector meson to the theory of weak interactions is outlined in which renormalization is retained. However, if this way is used, the anomalous magnetic moment is calculated to be large, which is in contradiction with expectation."

On the Multiplication Constant of Homogeneous Mixtures of U with Various Moderators (open access)

On the Multiplication Constant of Homogeneous Mixtures of U with Various Moderators

The following represents a summary of calculations on the multiplication constant of homogeneous mixtures of uranium and different moderators. These calculations were made possible by Fermi's determination of the age of neutrons and by the extrapolation to higher scattering cross-sections of the resonance absorption of uranium as measured by C. Creutz. According to Fermi, the former quantity is 120 sq. cm. The latter is given in the two attached graphs. The first (Fig.1) of these goes as high as a scattering cross-section of 70 x 10-24 cm.2 per uranium atom, and its highest point is taken from a measurement of Cruetz's in which a mixture of U3O8 and graphite was used.

Preparation of U233 (open access)

Preparation of U233

Technical report. The object of the research is to determine the procedure and equipment for the preparation of U233 on a semi-works scale. The general proposed procedure is that thorium carbonate in aluminum cans will be irradiated with pile neutrons. The Pa233 resulting from neutron absorption the Th232 and the decay of Th233 will be extraction from 99% of the thorium and the natural U in thorium by MnO2 precipitations. The Pa233 will then be allowed to decay to U233 which in turn will be isolated from the remaining Th and partially decayed Pa233 by ether extraction.
