A Method for the Determination of Traces of Metals III : Studies of the Distillation of Amalgams (open access)

A Method for the Determination of Traces of Metals III : Studies of the Distillation of Amalgams

Summary: "It has been demonstrated that the electrolysis-distillation stages of the procedure that has been developed for traces of metals may be utilized, with certain precautions, to recover milligram quantities of cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, nickel and zinc. Lead remains partially as undissolved lead sulfate and hence the recovery of amounts ranging from 1 - 5 mg. is not advisable by this procedure."

A Method for the Determination of Traces of Metals: [Part] 4. Polarographic Studies. (open access)

A Method for the Determination of Traces of Metals: [Part] 4. Polarographic Studies.

Report describing an updated method to determine traces of metals under polarographic studies, which operates at a higher cathode current density with a small area of the anode immersed in the solution where an appreciable quantity of iron was present in the solutions that were to be polarographed. The results of these studies are also presented.

The Hematological Effects of Ionizing Radiations (open access)

The Hematological Effects of Ionizing Radiations

This report follows the hematological studies conducted on the Plutonium Project. The studies focus on the internal and external effects of plutonium radiation on biological features, applying these effects toward the protection of individuals who worked in the Project, and using the findings generally for the protection of the public which was potentially in danger of exposure to these physical hazards.

Balanced Ionization Chamber for Differential Measurements of Gamma Rays (open access)

Balanced Ionization Chamber for Differential Measurements of Gamma Rays

"The purpose of the work was to develop a method of measuring very small differences in the half lives of gamma ray emitting radioactive substances. The apparatus was then used to try to detect a difference in the half lives of Be7 metal and BeO. The results of the measurements on the two different chemical forms of beryllium will be given" (p. 1).
