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).

The Determination of Rare Earths in Thorium (open access)

The Determination of Rare Earths in Thorium

Abstract: "A quantitative method for the determination of individual rare earths in thorium down to a level of 0.05 ppm, is described. The procedure consists of a chromatographic cellulose-columns separation followed by a solution-type spectrographic determination. Values are given for the recovery of a number of rare earths using this combined procedure."

Investigational Drilling, Hoskinnini Mesa

From to the files: To date, all the mineralization seen in the Monument Valley area in the Shinarump formation has been in scour channels. The mineralized rock occurs at or near the bottom of the channel. On Hoskinnini Mesa, all the channels examined to date contain some mineralized material. Channels observed may in some cases contain copper without apparent uranium mineralization; others definitely exhibit copper-uranium mineralization.

Preliminary Appraisal of the Carnotite Resources of the Carrizo Mountains Area, San Juan County, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona

From introduction: A rapid appraisal of the carnotite resources of the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Morrison formation in the Carrizo Mountains area was undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey late in 1951 in connection with its current project of geologic mapping of the area. Though brief and preliminary, this report provides a summary of production trends and estimated reserves in the area and indicates as far as possible the total potential of the area as a source of uranium. This information may be helpful in planning new milling facilities or other measures to encourage a higher rate of production.

A Large Diameter Vacuum Valve (open access)

A Large Diameter Vacuum Valve

During the preliminary operaton of a volatilization apparatus it became apparent that a large stopcock in the high vacuum side of the oil diffusion pump was quite unsatisfactory. Since it was necessary to mount the stopcock in a relatively inaccessible location, the difficulty of turning the plug and the consequent necessity of regreasing the valve approximately every week were real problems. Also, it became apparent that an increased pumping speed through the valve would be required. Since a larger stopcock was out of the question, a type of valve reported by Stern was modified in design and was bulit into the apparatus.

Feasibility of Various Types of Seals for the Carrier Freon 11 Turbocompressors (open access)

Feasibility of Various Types of Seals for the Carrier Freon 11 Turbocompressors

A preliminary feasibility study is made of seals for a machine running at 8000 rpm, having a 2-in. shaft, and operating with a pressure differential of 5 lb/in{sup2}. The following conditions must be met: during operation the air inleak shall not exceed 50 lb/2000 hr and the loss of Freon 11 shall not exceed 0.02 lb/hr; the leak-up rate during shutdown shall not exceed 1/10 in. of Hg per 24 hr (the contained volume is 100 ft{sup3}). Dry-contact and Freon 11-lubricated contact seals are considered briefly, but neither appears to be practical. The following positive-clearance seals are more feasible and are discussed in greater detail: concentric-cyinder seal, utilization of a journal bearing of the machine as a seal, and a radial-controlled-gap type of seal.
