100 Area process improvement program for the period November 1954--April 1955

Description: This is the second of a series of documents issued quarterly. The documents present, for critical examination by management and for the information of related groups, that portion of the future 100 Area technical program which relates directly and more or less immediately to the Technical-Manufacturing efforts to increase both power levels and production. An attempt is made to describe and justify the key production tests planned for the following six month period. Only those tests necessary fo… more

1953 at Hanford

Description: The report summarizes Hanford`s operation in 1953. The 38% increase in separated plutonium over the 1952 level was one measure of achievement. 1953`s output was more than seven times that of 1947, the first full year of General Electric`s operation of Hanford. Although much of this gain resulted from new reactors, some was due to improved safety devices, and much was due to increased knowledge of the controlling factors which permitted more efficient operation of old piles and better design of … more

The Absorption of Neutrons in Doppler Broadened Resonances

Description: A method is developed for the calculation of the effect of Doppler broadening of the absorption of the neutrons by a resonance absorber. Numerical values are given for the correction factors required in the interpretation of transmission experiments and self-indication experiments and for the self-shielding factors for slabs, spheres, cylinders, and homogeneous mixtures.

Achievements in HAPO radiation monitoring, 1944--1954

Description: At HAPO the protection of employees from nuclear radiations has paralleled or preceded the emphasis on atomic products production. The production of atomic products on the scale for which HAPO was designed presented voluminous problems in employee education, radiation detection, shielding, and indeed, fundamental research to determine working limits for the various types of radiation exposure which would necessarily be encountered, and to determine working limits for the deposition of radioacti… more

Authorization for a process change -- Revision of nuclear safety rules for transporting plutonium compounds between the 231 and 234-5 Buildings

Description: Nuclear safety rules for transporting plutonium compounds between the 231 and 234-5 Buildings were established in Documents HW-30328 and HW-31465. Provisions for the co-transporting of loaded sample cans, filter boats and/or product samples were not included in the above documents. In the interest of economy and efficiency the rules have been reviewed and revised according to the provisions set forth in this document. The paper describes the present transportation limits and the revised limits … more

Behavior, a Balanced Network of Chemical Transformations(Biokinetics)

Description: While the concept of a biological system as a balanced network of chemical transformations is not a new one, experimental definition of specific systems has been lacking. This paper defines theoretically and experimentally a number of such networks and their behavior and response to some limited environmental changes.
