Aging of Al-Li Alloys - Part I
Technical report outlining experiments on aluminum-lithium alloys. From Abstract: "Aluminum-lithium alloys are subject to precipitation from solid solution, and may be age hardened by the same techniques used for more common aluminum alloys. Spherical particles of precipitate were observed with the electron microscope in 1.5% and 2.8% Al-Li alloys after aging for times comparable to those required to produce maximum hardness. Rod-shaped particles that were oriented parallel to either the (110) or the (111) planes of the aluminum matrix were observed in overaged specimens."

Anodic Precipitation of Tracer Manganese as Dioxide
Quantitative recovery of carrier‐free 10−9 M manganese (II) is possible from weakly acidic solutions. The use of lead dioxide as either a non-isotopic carrier or a chemical displacing agent makes possible high recoveries from more acidic solutions.

An approach to the study of solid state bonding
The program objective has been to investigate the possible similarity between a bond interface and a grain boundary. The criterion for establishing the similarity of a bond interface and a grain boundary was the migration characteristics of the boundary under the influence of controlled orientation, strain level, temperature and time. In addition, the orientation dependency of the "threshold", or minimum deformation, for bonding would have to be determined. The initial bonding studies were to be made by a "cold welding" technique; subsequently, elevated temperatures bonding would have been attempted. Migration of boundaries was to be observed by high temperature metallographic techniques.

Boundary-Layer Displacement Effects in Air at Mach Numbers of 6.8 and 9.6
"Measurements are presented for pressure gradients induced by a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate in air at a Mach number of 9.6 and for the drag of thin wings at a Mach number of about 6.8 and zero angle of attack. The pressure measurements at a Mach number of 9.6 were made in the presence of substantial heat transfer from the boundary layer to the plate surface. The measured pressure distribution o the surface of the plate was predicted with good accuracy by a modification to insulated-plate displacement theory which allows for the effect of the heat transfer and temperature gradient along the surface on the boundary-layer displacement thickness" (p. 1).

Canning Graphite for Gas-Cooled Reactors
A preliminary investigation was made of techniques and materials for canning graphite to protect it for use at high temperatures in a nitrogen--oxygen atmosphere. Fabrication techniques for cladding bare and copper--plated graphite cores either in Type 316 stainless steel or Inconel X were developed. Specimens of the various combinations of core and cladding materials were subjected to simulatedservice conditions and evaluated. In all cases the Type 316 stainless steel-clad specimens failed by carburization and subsequent oxidation in relatively short periods of time. Although considerable trouble was experienced with rupture in the vicinity of the cladding welds during thermal cycling of the Inconel X-clad specimens, this material appeared to be satisfactory in other respects and is considered promising. A specimen of silicon-coated graphite eiad with Type 316 stainless steel was tested by heat treating for 624 hr at 1800 deg F. The silicon coating alloyed with the cladding material, formed a high-silicon diifusion zone, but prevented carburization of the stainless steel. (auth)

CIVILIAN POWER REACTOR PROGRAM. PART III. CORE-PARAMETER STUDIES FOR SELECTED REACTOR TYPES
A report is presented to provide a tool for evaluating the relative economic incentives for changing reactor core parameters. The cost relations are shown in terms of differential cost in lieu of total cost. A total cost for each reactor described is included so that power costs for a specified set of parameters can be obtained. A description is also included concerning 5 reactor types considered along with a discussion of the effects on power costs of varying the significant core parameters. A listing of basic references is given. (J.R.D.)

DARED-1--AN IBM-704 PROGRAM FOR REDUCING DATA FROM FOIL IRRADIATION AND FITTING BY LEAST SQUARES TO BESSEL J$sub 0$ OR COSINE FUNCTION
A description is given of a code for the IBM-704 computer which reduces and fits by least squares the measurements of radioactivity of a sequence of foils. Corrections for background, counter deadtime, foil weight, and radioactive decay are applied, and readings outside a specified range are rejected. Errors due to statistical fluctuations are computed and off-center ordinates are calculated. Reduced data are then fitted by least squares to the best value of the arguments of Bessel J/sub o/ or cosine functions. Up to 100 foils in a sequence can be handled, and decay times up to 999 min can be accommodated. An IBM-704 computer having 8192 words of core storage is required. No drums or tapes are needed. Running time for a typical 50 point problem involving data reduction alone is 2 min. With least squares fitting, the same problem would require 4 min. (auth)

The Design and Uses of High Flux Research and Test Reactors
The need for thermal and fast neutron fluxes in the range of 1 to 5 x l0/ sup 15/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/(sec) for the production of heavy elements such as Cf/ sup 252/ and other special isotopes and for improving the quality of beam experiments, reactor materials testing work, and solid state research has led to plans for the construction of three ultra high flux research reactors. The designs of these and other high flux research reactors are based on the general technology of enriched tank-type reactors; however, they utilize the principle of separate fuel and moderator regions to achieve flux peaking in these regions. Thus, proposed designs take the form of an annular fuel region with internal and external moderating regions or an under moderated core with an external moderator or reflector. In such arrangements, the thermal flux peaks in the moderating regions and the fast flux peaks in the fuel region, which results in maximum fast and thermal fluxes per unit of power. Since most of the moderation of fast neutrons takes place outside of the fuel region, the thermal flux peaking depends on the number of fast neutrons leaking from the reactor core, which in turn depends on …

Determination of the Formation Constant of Indiumacetylacetonate by an Extraction Method
1. The solubility of acetylacetone has been determined in an acetate buffer solution of ionic strength C.1 in relation to pH and temperature. 2. The distribution coefficients of acetylacetone have been determined between chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene and an acetate buffer solution in relation to acetylacetone concentration and pH. 3. The relationship has been established between the rate at which indium acetylacetonate reaches partition equilibrium and the pH, initial acetylacetone concentration in the organic phase, and the different organic solvents. 4. The extent of the extraction of indiumacetylacetonate has been determined for three organic solvents at two acetylacetone concentrations in relation of pH. The independence of the degree of extraction from indium concentration was established in the region between 10(-4) to 10(-6) M. 5. 5. The indium acetylacetone compound was obtained by extraction from organic solvents. 6. The stability constants were calculated by two different methods for the uncharged complex and intermediate complexes; also the constants for the various steps of the dissociation of indiumacetylacetonate.
