Nonweapons Activities at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Part 1: Controlled Thermonuclear Reactions

The work of the Laboratory has expanded into applications of nuclear energy which are significant for natural defense and security, but are not directly connected with weapons development. It was felt, therefore, that a description of the nonweapons activities of the Laboratory would serve a useful purpose at this time.. For classification reasons, it has been necessary to issue the report in three parts; this is the first and is concerned with controlled thermonuclear reactions.

Some Experiments on the Precipitation of Plutonium Compounds From Triputyl Phosphate Solutions (open access)

Some Experiments on the Precipitation of Plutonium Compounds From Triputyl Phosphate Solutions

The experiments described in this report were designed to explore the feasibility of precipitating plutonium from 35 percent TBP in Gulf BT using peroxide, fluoride, sulfide, sulfite, sulfate, cocalate, hydroxide, iodate and phosphate ions from anhydrous, dilute and concentrated aqueous sources.

The Determination of Small Amounts of Thorium in the Presence of Uranium, Titanium, and Tungsten (open access)

The Determination of Small Amounts of Thorium in the Presence of Uranium, Titanium, and Tungsten

Thorium is determined in uranium alloys by means of a fluoride separation followed by a complexometric titration. A nitric of hydrochloric acid solution of the alloy is neutralized to a pH of 2.0 to 3.0 and the thorium precipitated as thorium fluoride by the addition of hydrofluoric acid and ammonium fluoride using lanthanum as a carrier.
