Technical report that information has bee obtained on the effect of beta and gamma radiation on the electrical resistance of insulating materials The results are summarized. The recovery to original resistance values has been measured. In general, the initial rate is rapid for the first few hours; the rate then decreases sharply. Certain samples show evidence of complete recovery. Effects on mechanical properties of several plastics has also been studied. Data on gas evolution from several organic materials including those suggested by the physiological shield have been extended to include both beta and deuteron bombardments. Samples of "Press-wood" are being evaluated. The effect of current on the H2O2 production in water containing I- has been studied at several I- concentrations. Water contain-dissolved CO2 shows the presence of oxidant (presumably H2O2). H2O2 has been produced by recoil protons from the scattering of fast neutrons in de-oxygenated water. Radioactive solutions do not greatly affect the applicability the glass electrode providing the electrode is thoroughly washed with distilled water before immersion in the standard buffer solution.

The importance of fast neutron fission (i.e., fission caused by neutrons before being slowed down) was recognized by Szilard, and calculations similar to the present one have already been carried out by him, Feld, Ashkin, Wheeler, Wigner and others. The purpose of the present paper is to give a general formula for the contribution of fast fission to the multiplication constant, which will include all the cases already considered and will be applicable to more complicated geometries than those considered by the previous writers.

The following report provides data taken from investigations on radiation and the different biologic effects on it.

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.
