Trip to Selas Corporation of America

On May 23, 1957, a visit was made by the writer to the Selas Corporation of American in Dresher, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the visit was to discuss further investigations into methods of tubesheet brazing by direct heating. Original work along these lines has been carried out at ORNL and is covered by a memo (CF-57-4-57) to W.D. Manly, dated April 16, 1957, and entitled : Investigation of Tubesheet Brazing by a Method of Direct Heating.

Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Uranium and Plutonium from Hydrochloric Acid Solution with TRI (Iso-Octyl) Amine.  Separation of Uranium and Plutonium from Thorium and Fission Products (open access)

Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Uranium and Plutonium from Hydrochloric Acid Solution with TRI (Iso-Octyl) Amine. Separation of Uranium and Plutonium from Thorium and Fission Products

A new and rapid method for the liquid-liquid extraction of uranium and plutonium from hydrochloric acid solution is based on the use of tri(iso-octyl)amine dissolved in xylene or methylisobutylketone. Uranium and/or plutonium are separated from thorium, alkalis, alkaline earths, rare earths, zirconium, niobium, ruthenium and other elements which do not form anionic species under the conditions described. The technique may be used for either tracer or macro quantities of uranium. Several practical applications of the method for the separations chemist are proposed.

On Neutron Evaporation From Excited Nuclei (open access)

On Neutron Evaporation From Excited Nuclei

At high excitation energies, competition of proton and c-particle emission with neutron emission becomes important. For low excitation, the competition between Y-emission, neutron emission, and fission should be taken into account. To aid in the evaluation of this competition an experiment has been performed to measure the number and energy spectrum of the protons and c-particles emitted in the high energy bombardment of uranium with protons, deuterons, and c-particles.
