A Calorimetric Determination of the Half Life of Polonium-210 (Final Report) (open access)

A Calorimetric Determination of the Half Life of Polonium-210 (Final Report)

Six determinations have been made of the half life of polonium with four different steady-state, resistance-bridge calorimeters and five different samples of polonium. These six values of the half life have been weighted and combined to give a grand-mean value of the half life of 138.4005 + - 0.0051 days.

Radioactive debris from operations Tumbler and Snapper: observations beyond 200 miles from the test site. Part II

The results of the fall-out monitoring program at fixed stations more than 200 miles from the test site following the series of atomic tests in Nevada during the spring of 1952 are shown in a series of maps. Trajectories of debris from the individual bursts are given, together with a discussion of meteorological phenomena associated with the transport of atomic debris.

Observations on the Radiation Decomposition of Some C14 LabeledCompounds

Varying amounts of radiation decomposition during storage in the dry form have been found in the cases of C{sup 14}-labeled valine, norvaline, norleucine, choline chloride, calcium glycolate and cholesterol. These data indicate that investigators using labeled organic compounds should make frequent checks of the purity of these compounds in order to exclude the possibility of the presence of decomposition products.

Unusual incident at Savannah River (open access)

Unusual incident at Savannah River

On January 12, 1953, an explosion occurred in the Savannah River pilot plant which has been used since November, 1951 by du Pont personnel to train operators and to test equipment for their new Purex production plant. The explosion occurred in an evaporator in which a uranyl nitrate solution containing some organics was being concentrated to a high degree to remove nitric acid. This memorandum reviews the facts surrounding the incident as obtained from the official Preliminary Technical Report'', and by talking to du Pont personnel. These facts are interpreted as fast as possible and the current design for the Hanford Purex production plant is re-evaluated in the light of these data.
