From abstract: "Frequently it has been desirable to prepare pure anhydrous metal fluorides. Several general methods have proved satisfactory depending on the type of fluoride to be prepared."

Abstract: The counting accuracy of the Chicago Scalers, Models 961A and 961B, is a function of the bias setting of the limiter (V2). this report gives quantitative data supporting this thesis. A method of making bias settings is suggested. These tests were run at the suggestion of Mr. V. C. Hanson.

Technical report discussion of the complicated problem of the spatial distribution of slowed down neutrons. The introduction covers the current research on the topic. The following chapters cover the topics: (1) approximate treatment and its limitations, (2) age-velocity distribution, (3) general scheme of treatment based on transport equation, (4) Fermi's one-dimensional model, (5) moments, (6) remarks about the distribution function, and (7) point source.

From introduction: "The measurement of the thermal conductivity of liquid TF6 presented unusual difficulties because of two of its properties which necessitated working with a closed system. The properties were (1) the liquid can exist as such only above 64.05°C. at which temperature its saturated vapor pressure is 1140 mm. of mercury, and (2) the compound reacts rapidly with moist air. Also because of the liquid's extremely corrosive nature, it was necessary to design a cell of special corrosion resistant materials."
