Thermal Annealing Kinetics of Interlayer Spacing Damage in Irradiated Graphite (open access)

Thermal Annealing Kinetics of Interlayer Spacing Damage in Irradiated Graphite

The primary objective of this work is to add to the understanding of irradiated graphite. This report describes an experimental technique whereby changes in crystal lattice parameter may be studied as a function of time at constant temperature. The results given here are limited to changes in the Câ‚€ spacing for a typical sample of irradiated graphite in the temperature range 100 to 750 C.

Chemical Research -- U233 Production and Extraction; Report for the Month Ending June 21, 1943 (open access)

Chemical Research -- U233 Production and Extraction; Report for the Month Ending June 21, 1943

Abstract. The precipitation of Pa233 with MnO2 from a solution of thorium nitrate has been studied in some detail and seems quite satisfactory up to 36 gm Th(HO3)4 4H2O per 100 cc solution. The concentration of Pa233 with respect to the manganese dioxide carrier and the thorium precipitated with the carrier appears to be accomplished quite well by either a series of MnO2 cycles or thorium iodate cycles. Volatility methods for both the separation of Pa233 from the original thorium and for its separation from MnO2 are now under investigation. It has been decided that thorium carbonate will the the thorium compound used in the pile at Site X.
