The Polarographic Determination of Titanium in Plutonium Solutions (open access)

The Polarographic Determination of Titanium in Plutonium Solutions

A polarographic method for the determination of titanium in the presence of plutonium has been devised. Hydrochloric acid solutions of plutonium and titanium are reduced with zinc, made one molar in tartaric acid, and further reduced in the polarographic cell with liquid zine amalgam. Plutonium is thus reduced to the non-interfering (III) oxidation state and a well defined anodic wave for the oxidation of titanium (III) to titanium (IV) is obtained. The height of this wave is directly proportional to the titanium concentration for plutonium-titanium solutions containing 20 grams plutonium per liter. The precision for the analyses of duplicate samples has been calculated at the 95 percent confidence level to be 2.9 percent for those containing 0.025 to 0.050 gm titanium per liter and 1.1 percent for those containing 0.089 to 0.51 gm titanium per liter.

Expressions for Conversion Ratio in a Th-U²³⁵ Converter (open access)

Expressions for Conversion Ratio in a Th-U²³⁵ Converter

"This memo shall be an attempt to write down in a consistent manner some expressions for conversion ratio so that a comparison can be made with regard to a uniformly loaded core versus a flattered zone surrounded by an unloaded region. The discussion will be limited to the type of loading that is at present being considered for the reactor - a checkerboard array of MTR fuel elements and feed elements; the unloaded reactor will consist of fuel elements only."

The Rolling of Thorium Rod (open access)

The Rolling of Thorium Rod

Report discussing the rolling of thorium rods. Abstract: "Thorium rods, 1-7/16 inch in diameter, were rolled from Ames castings. The billets were roughed down in diamond-grooved rolls and finished in hand-rounding rolls. Remelted chips as well as primary-metal castings were rolled, and both yielded satisfactory rods. The surface quality of the rods was generally excellent, and the machined slugs were free of seams."

The Vanadium-Uranium Constitutional Diagram (open access)

The Vanadium-Uranium Constitutional Diagram

Abstract: "Vanadium-uranium equilibrium studies were made on alloys prepared from high-purity vanadium and good biscuit uranium. No intermetallic phases occur in the system. Additions of vanadium lover the uranium melting point and transformations producing a eutectic at 1240 +/- 5 C and eutectoid reactions at 727 +/- 5 and 652 +/- 5 C. The maximum solubility of uranium in vanadium is about 4 atomic per cent (15 weight per cent)."

The Hydrolysis of Tributyl Phosphate Ad Its Effect on the Purex Process (open access)

The Hydrolysis of Tributyl Phosphate Ad Its Effect on the Purex Process

From abstract: "The rate of hydrolysis of TBP and the effect of the hydrolysis products in the Purex Process have been studied. Hydrolytic conditions may be encountered in the process which would lead to formation of dibutyl phosphoric acid, causing significant losses of tetravalent plutonium in stripping. This situation may be easily alleviated by reducing and stripping the plutonium in the trivalent state."
