Abstract: "The heat-treatment behavior of zirconium alloys containing 7 to 70 w/o uranium is described. The effect of oxygen contamination on the structure and hardness of these alloys is outlined. It is shown that in the initial stages pf transformation of beta zirconium-uranium solid solution into the low-temperature phases a potent hardening reaction occurs in alloys containing 20 to 70 w/o uranium. In this reaction the hardness may rise from 200 DPH characteristic of retained beta to values in excess of 400 DPH. Practical heat treatments have been developed which produce relatively soft alloys. The microstructures and hardnesses produces by these treatments are shown."

Abstract: "Approximate melting points have been determined for five samples of uranium tetrafluoride representing incompletely converted uranium dioxide and covering the range from about 2 to 20 w/o UO2, using the method of differential thermal analysis. The results indicate the melting temperatures are in the range of 920 to 980 C. No significant correlation between melting point and UO2 content was observed, possibly because of calcite formation. Similar results were obtained on synthetic mistakes of UF4 containing from 10 to 40 w/o UO2."

"Characteristics of a pulsed, occluded-gas ion source, operating in a magnetic field, have been investigated. Mass spectra of hydrogen- and deuterium-loaded sources are presented. Constructional details of the source and its operating characteristics are discussed."

Abstract: "This report describes six electronics areas at the Radiation Laboratory (Berkeley and Livermore) that are being successfully used with various particle acceleration for nuclear research. The electronics equipment, consisting of pulse amplifiers, scalers, coincidence circuits, pulse-height analyzers, automatic recording equipment, high-voltage supplies, etc., is arranged in such a manner that most experiments can be quickly set up, and a number of people can run experiments simultaneously. Advantage and limitations of these areas are discussed."

From introduction: This report summarizes the results of the USGS exploration in the Yellow Cat and Squaw Park areas, and contains a brief description of the geology and ore deposits

A report about how the synthesis of natural vanadates shows that most of them are stable in an acid environment.

The following report is a statement of progress during the six-months period from December 1, 1955 to May 31, 1956 on investigations of radioactive materials in the United States and Alaska, undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey under the sponsorship of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

The following report analyzes the physical behavior of radon concentrations in streams and related spring waters in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, to determine the relationship between the distribution of radon and its geologic environment.

Report discussing an exploration for uranium and vanadium deposits in the Yellow Cat and Squaw Park areas in the Thompson Park district of Grand County, Utah. The exploration occurred from October 8, 1951 to November 23, 1954.

The following report discusses the chemistry and mineralogy investigations on vanadium oxides.

The following report discusses a method for determining uranium in samples containing 0.05 percent or more U3O8, using titanous sulfate as reducing agent, that's much shorter, faster, and has fewer interferences than conventional methods using reductor columns.

The following report describes most of the localities examined in deposits of uranium-bearing minerals in Arizona where anomalous radioactivity was detected between 1950 and 1954.
