From abstract: "The extraction of acids with long-chain amines is described. Preliminary results on the extraction of the amine salts of polonium, plutonium and uranium are given."

From abstract: "The variation of the reactivity of a pile as a function of width of a transverse gap is obtained. The method involves first finding the boundary condition satisfied by the flux at the gap face. This, in principle, provides enough information for a complete solution of the pile equations. A method for calculating the reactivity change is presented. The calculated reactivity is compared with experiment and a brief discussion of the validity of the approximations is given."

Technical report calculating "effective removal cross sections" for Pb, Fe and O from measurements of fast neutron does in the water surrounding the BSF reactor. The values for Pb and Fe agree quite well with those previously determined from Lid tank data, whereas that for O is somewhat lower. [From Abstract]

From conclusions: There is a close enough correlation for most metals to give the chart some utility in estimating vapor pressure of metals.

The purpose of this report is to present information on materials which can possibly be employed in the HF-H₂O-H₂SO₄-system in the extractive distillation process to be investigated at NBL.

Introduction: This is the third of a series of memoranda concerning the statics of the teapot, a small-scale boiling reactor experiment, and covers power coefficients of reactivity, energy coefficients of fluid density, the poisoning effects of fission products, and production of gases. The numbering of the equations, figures, and tables thus follows that of CF 52-6-118.

Introduction: This preliminary report is an attempt to correlate all of the available information having a bearing on the geology of the uraniferous deposits and to set forth such theories and recommendations as may be deduced at this stage.

The following report describes the crystal structures of NpC and Pu2O3 identified by x-ray diffraction.

From summary: "Equations for determination of stage enrichment factor and screen area for the ideal case of 'zero back-pressure' are derived...Comparison with the theory of Benedict is made together with recommendations for application of his results for non-zero back pressure to the case under consideration."

"his interim report presents the grade and tonnage data collected during exploration at the Lost Creek schroeckingerite deposit, Sweetwater County, Wyoming, Between July 1951 and February 1952. Discussions of he geologic results of exploration (lithology, mineralogy, structure, origin, etc.) are not included in this report and consequently the detailed lithology and structure have been omitted from the illustrations (figs. 1-7)"

Abstract: A study of irradiated and normal Teflon by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared analysis, gas evolution, and visual examination is presented and discussed.

The following report describe the effect of plasma oscillations using a table-top model and the probable magnitude of the quantities needed to reach complete ionization.

The following report records the study of the optimum pH of the method of the colorimetric dimethylglyoxime for nickel before the addition of oxidant and the concentration of ammonium persulfate needed to insure complete oxidation to higher nickel valence states and thus prevent precipitation of less soluble nickelous salt that was made. Results of this study is presented in Table 1.

Report discussing a method for uranium spectography. The analytical procedures are described in detail, as well as the restocking and maintenance procedures that are associated with the method.

Report discussing the progress of various research projects by members of the Mathematics Panel at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the quarter ending April 30, 1952.

This quarterly progress report details the ongoing research happening at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In particular, this report discusses the current status of the Homogenous Reactor Experiment, boiling reactor and slurry studies, and general homogenous reactor studies.
