Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over experiments conducted on fuel-gas mixtures. The results of these experiments are presented. This report includes tables, graphs, illustrations, and photographs.

This report discusses studies revealing the tensile properties, hot hardness, and heat treatment characteristics of uranium alloys with added aluminum or zirconium.

This report studies ammonium dichromate and the conditions it needs to be under in order to precipitate and be isolated from an aqueous system.

This report discusses mechanical properties and heat treatment of some uranium-titanium alloys. These alloys were tested for use as fuel-element material.

The following report focuses on research made to determine whether the service performance of UO₂ fuel-elements cores for the PWR can be improved by certain ceramic or metal additions.

From introduction: This bibliography is an annotated list of selected reports that were publicly available as of May 31, 1956, pertaining to the uranium content and/or radioactivity of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals in the United States.

Thesis describing a research conducted to extend observations on nuclear energy levels and how they effect the nucleus itself, and an investigation on the gamma rays associated for the even-even isotopes and to obtain additional data for the oddmass neclei in the hope that more regularities will become apparent for that class of nuclides.

The following report discusses the data of the Z-field pick-up loop, an effective diagnostic tool introduced to help experiments with the linear pinch.

Report discussing experiments conducted under the Livermore "Waldo" project to determine "(1) surface densities attainable in a supersonic mercury vapor jet stream, (2) the approximate efficiency of a mercury jet for neutralizing a proton beam, and (3) the mercury partial pressure contribution in the bore due to side streaming from the mercury jet."

Reactor gas costs have increased substantially each year since 1952 when the total cost was $108,000. In 1953, 1954, and 1955 the gross annual cost of reactor gas was $126,000, $348,000 and $606,000 respectively and are reported in Figure 1. These continued increases in reactor gas costs indicate the need for an analysis of gas usage and formulation of a program to reduce gas consumption. To provide basic information for such a program, a critical review has been made of the reaction gas system and gas consumption figures for the past four years.

When a ``K`` type process tube is operated without a slug column, damage may take place in the connector because of the cavitation that originates in the venturi. Reported here is a study of this cavitation problem as related to CG-654 operating conditions. A series of curves were developed to present the effect of the venturi diameter on the venturi {Delta}P for instrument operation and on the cavitation problem at the higher flows which are experienced when the tube is operated without a slug column.

Slug ruptures at C Reactor are costing a considerable amount of production and are limiting reactor power levels. A large portion of this production is lost because the ``quickie`` procedure cannot be used with unstruck ruptures. Currently there are two reasons for this condition: Insufficient reactivity is available to recover after a rupture is removed with the ``quickie`` equipment, and if the ``quickie`` method were attempted, there would be many failures due to stuck rear caps and improperly functioning equipment. With the current emphasis being placed on improving the ``quickie`` equipment and procedures, it is reasonable to assume that in the near future nearly all unstruck ruptures can be removed with this ``quickie`` procedure. However, the C Reactor does not possess sufficient excess reactivity to recover from a ``quickie`` rupture discharge following a shutdown from equilibrium conditions. This study outlines a procedure for extending the scram recovery time at C Reactor and an economic justification for buying the added reactivity necessary to carry out the procedure.

Introduction: A reconnaissance of the Black Brush property was made by geologists of the Atomic Energy Commission in March, 1955. This anomalous area was located by an earlier airborne radiometric survey. the examination consisted of preliminary sampling and surface and underground radiometric traversing.

From foreword: This is a report on the efforts of Monsanto Chemical Co. to solve some of the chemical problems involved in the atomic energy program.

Attempts were made to prepare a diphenoquinone having substituents in 2,2'-positions in order to prevent the planarity of the molecule and get a diradical of oxygen. The 2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-di-t-butyldiphenoquinone was prepared and was shown to be in equilibrium with a small amount of diradical. This compound slowly polymerizes.
