Problems of Air-Borne Contamination in Handling of Pu F₄ Powders (open access)

Problems of Air-Borne Contamination in Handling of Pu F₄ Powders

Abstract: Studies were made of the air-borne contamination present during the operation of reducing plutonium tetrafluoride powder to the metal. Equipment design changes were made and operation technique changes were made until the amount of contamination present during operations was well below tolerance levels.

The Emf of Cells with Uranium: Uranium Halide Couples in Fused Salt Electrolytes (open access)

The Emf of Cells with Uranium: Uranium Halide Couples in Fused Salt Electrolytes

The emf of galvanic cells at high temperatures was measured using uranium metal in equilibrium with its chloride as one half of the cell, the other half of the cell being some reference electrode such as silver - silver chloride. Several designs of cells tried are described. A value of 2.83 volts/eq. at 1170[degree]K and also at 990[degree]K is considered as the most probably value for the potential of the uranium halide couple.

Acute Radiotoxicity of Injected Yttrium91 (open access)

Acute Radiotoxicity of Injected Yttrium91

Report describing results of experiments that involved injecting radioactive yttrium into animals: "The excretion, retention, and distribution of the yttrium was measured, and its effect on survival and growth was observed. The average total excretion of Y91 to the time of death (from 76 hours to 24 days) was a little less than 30 per cent of the injected dose" (p. 2).
