Analysis for Oxide in Thorium Metal (open access)

Analysis for Oxide in Thorium Metal

Abstract. to estimate the oxygen picked up by thorium in casting a rapid method of running the acid insoluble content was developed. the quickest procedure consists of reacting with mixed acids, fuming with perchloric and filtration to separate the "free" thorium from the "combined". The precipitate is ignited and weighed as thorium dioxide.

Further Studies on Control of the Converter Reactor (open access)

Further Studies on Control of the Converter Reactor

Introduction: "This report is an extension of NAA-SR-Memo-178. The results show the number of control rods as a function of the amount of reactivity to be controlled. Numerical solutions are given for a typical example and are readily obtainable for other cases."

Energy Per Fission and Power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor (open access)

Energy Per Fission and Power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor

Due to some lack of knowledge of the energy per fission, there has been some uncertainty over the absolute power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor. This report analyzes measurements to state the absolute power of the BSR within a few percent.
