The acute radiation syndrome: A study of ten cases and a review of the problem

In this report ten cases of acute radiation syndrome are described resulting from two accidents occurring at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory of unique nature involving fissionable material. These cases are described in considerable detail. The report comprises ten sections. This volume, part II of the report, is comprised of sections entitled: (1) the Biological Basis for the Clinical Response seen in the Acute radiation Syndrome, (2) Clinical Signs and Symptoms, (3) Discussion of Hematological Findings, (4) Chemistry of the Blood and Urine, (5) Discussion of Pathological Findings, and (6) Reconsiderations of the Calculated Radiation Doses in Terms of the Observed Biological Response of the Patients. This report was prepared primarily for the clinician who is interested in radiation injuries and therefore emphasis has been placed on the correlation of clinical and pathological changes with the type of cytogenetic change known to be produced by ionizing radiation.

Pile Temperature Study (open access)

Pile Temperature Study

Regarding heat transfer studies of annular spaces around the process tube, there is general agreement among all concerned, that high graphite temperatures are essential at the initial startup. Pile Technology, in studying graphite damage, has developed information that shows little or no expansion occurring when temperatures are maintained at 275{degrees}C. Stored energy levels are less than 5% and K/Ko has saturated in the region of 3.5 to 4. Badly expanded samples (1% increase in length) have recovered 75%. This, of course, is in the pile, since nonlinear annealing is necessary, temperature alone not being sufficient. You may refer to HW-14522, HW-14310 and HW-13117 for further discussion of these points. Based on this assumption we should select some minimum startup temperature, for the edge of the active zone, say 200{degrees}C as a starting point.

Radiation intensity at center 42 inch riser on waste storage tank (MJ-4) (open access)

Radiation intensity at center 42 inch riser on waste storage tank (MJ-4)

It is recommended that the actual intensity existing today above the liquid be measured before recommendations are made on cutting through the concrete seal. A detailed statement of work on this problem follows. The calculations have been filed. In the study of the feasibility of cutting through the concrete seal on the center riser of the waste storage tank the radiation intensity that would be encountered is critical because director operator contact would be required. The question of the radiation intensity to be expected was approached from two standpoints: (a) a study of previous measurements of sludge level and activities in the storage tanks; and (b) direct calculation.
