Electronic Distribution Functions and Thermodynamic Properties at High Temperatures (open access)

Electronic Distribution Functions and Thermodynamic Properties at High Temperatures

Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing the thermodynamics and electronic distribution of high temperatures. As stated in the introduction, "in the present paper, a model for computing is described which takes into account in detail the interactions between bound electrons and the average interaction of the bound electrons with the free ones" (p. 4). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Calculations on U235 Fission Product Decay Chains (open access)

Calculations on U235 Fission Product Decay Chains

Report of equations for calculating decay of U235. The introduction states" Calculations have been made on the U235 fission product decay schemes. The results for a typical example, that of a reactor operating at 1000 kilowatts for 180 days, have been tabulated and graphed. General formulae have been used so that the results can be applied for any power level and any time of irradiation" (p. 2).
