PRELIMINARY HAZARD SUMMARY REPORT ON THE BOILING EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR (BER) (open access)

PRELIMINARY HAZARD SUMMARY REPORT ON THE BOILING EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR (BER)

A preliminary evaluation of the hazards associated with a 20-Mw boiling reactor for the purpose of determining site requirements is presented. The Boiling Experimental Reactor design, safety features, and performance are given and the surroundings of the site at Argonne National Laboratory are described. (T.R.H.)

A Survey of the Rates and Products of Short-Term Photosynthesis inPlants of 9 Phyla (open access)

A Survey of the Rates and Products of Short-Term Photosynthesis inPlants of 9 Phyla

The conclusions of this paper are: (1) Short-term photosynthetic experiments using C{sup 14}O{sub 2} and paper chromatography were performed with 27 different plants representing nine phyla: Schizophyta (Schizophyceae), Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta, Charophyta, Chrysophyta, Rhodophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, and Spermatophyta. (2) There is a remarkable uniformity in the types of ethanol-soluble compounds which became radioactive in the entire group of plants used. The amounts of the different compounds varied considerably percentage-wise among the various plants as would be expected because of their inherent metabolic differences and the variations in their physiological states induced by experimental conditions. (3) Sucrose became radioactive in very different amounts in two major groupings of plants: (a) those containing only photosynthetic tissue and (b) those containing non-photosynthetic tissue as well. The amount of radioactive sucrose in the former group was much lower than that in the latter. (4) An unidentified compound became radioactive in appreciable amounts in two of the blue-green algae, but was radioactive in very small amounts or not visible at all on the chromatograms of all other plants.

Transonic Pressure-- Sensing Studies Using Drop Test Vehicles (open access)

Transonic Pressure-- Sensing Studies Using Drop Test Vehicles

Free-flight drop vehicle tests have been made to investigate devices for measuring ambient pressure in the vicinity of a high-fineness-ratio weapon shape throughout the transonic speed range. Various types of nose probes and trailing probes were tested.
