Analysis of Lid Tank Neutron Data for Lead and Iron

Description: Abstract: An analysis of the lid tank neutron data for Pb-H2O and Fe-H2O is made. "Effective" fast neutron cross sections for the metals are obtained. This is based on the "one collision theory" of shielding. Values are 3.4 barns for Pb and 2.0 barns for Fe. These compare very well with those obtained by Albert and Welton based on other lid tank data and another method of calculation.

Analytical procedures for the plutonium Metal Fabrication Process

Description: A report describing a the results of a fluorimetric and volumetric method for the determination of fluoride. This method was developed for the determination of ionizable fluorine in gases in the range of 1-500ppm. This method was chosen because the determination depends on the generation of a color rather than the bleaching effect or on a change of color.

Analytical studies of the estimation of beryllium oxide in beryllium metal

Description: From abstract: The estimation of beryllium oxide in beryllium metal depending on the differential solubilities of the two material in dilute hydrochloric acid is presented. The results compare favorably with the present beryllium chloride volatilization procedure. Alternate methods are described, and the limitations and possible errors are discussed.

Angular distribution of neutrons from a plane surface

Description: From introduction: "This report determines lattice losses by considering the angular distribution of the neutrons emitted from the interior faces of the lattice and the exterior faces of the target. The purpose of this report is to investigate this problem by considering the dimensions of the faces to be large compared to the total mean free path."

Application of Heavy Media Separation, Flotation and Carbonate Leaching to Congo Ores

Description: The investigation of magnesitic-dolomite uranium ores from Union Miniere du Haute Katanga, Belgian Congo, was undertaken in order to examine the possibility of separating the uranium minerals from the carbonate minerals by Heavy Media Separation or froth flotation; thus reducing the sulfuric acid consumption during the uranium leach. In addition, the effect of carbonate leaching the whole ore and carbonate flotation products was examined.

Boiling Reactors: A Preliminary Investigation

Description: Technical report detailing kinetic equations that have been developed for a boiling-type reactor and inherent reactor stability studies that have been made on the basis of these equations. Presents features of the proposed reactor, comparisons of circulating types, investigations of bubble-rise velocities, effects of transient conditions of vapor mass in steam chest, and bubble time delay functions yield favorable results.

Calcining-Amenability Testing of Rand Precipitates

Description: Test work on two samples of high-grade Rand uranium precipitate indicated the desirability of calcining it at 400' to 500'C. to cut shipping costs and provide a refinery feed quite amenable to treatment by the nitric acid digestion-TBP process.

Calculated thermal conductivities of pure gases and gaseous mixtures at elevated temperatures

Description: From summary: "A method of calculating thermal conductivities of gases and mixtures of gases at elevated temperatures is presented. Results for carbon dioxide, helium, neon, nitrogen, and their binary mixtures are given for the temperature range of 273 degrees Kelvin to 800 degrees Kelvin. The calculated results for the pure gases are in agreement with the known experimental data."

Calculation of k-o in a Uranium-Graphite Lattice

Description: Since the 25 content of the uranium to be used in a MTA multiplying lattice is quite uncertain at present, it is necessary to assume various degrees of depletion in order to estimate the multiplication constant K-o and the production of 49 in an infinite uranium-graphite lattice

Calculation of Shielding for Mark II Accelerator

Description: The proper roof thickness to correspond with a given side wall thickness has been estimated fro experience with the 184 feet cyclotron, which has indicated that a roof of about 1 1/2 feet should accompany a wall of 5 feet, and a roof of 4 feet should accompany a wall of 15 feet. For the roof area involved, this should bring about the condition that down-scattered neutrons in the working areas are but a small fraction of the neutrons coming through the side walls.

Canning depleted uranium : production test 313-110-M, final report

Description: From summary: "Uranium billets deficient in U235 were subjected to the normal successive steps in the slug fabrication process; viz., rolling, machining, and canning. No unusual behavior was observed at any point in the process, thus indicating that the depleted metal from the standpoint of mechanical properties can be considered equivalent to normal uranium."
