Grain Refinement of Uranium by Alloying

Description: Binary alloys of uranium with 38 elements in the range 0.01 to 1.0 at.% were made. Three alloys having nominal compositions of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 at.% were made with most of the elements, and in addition, 12 ternary and quaternary alloys were made. The alloys were cast, rolled to 7/8-inch-diameter bars, heat treated, and examined for grain size.

Jacketing of Uranium for High-Temperture Service

Description: From introduction: "The work covered in this report is a portion of the experimental research undertaken for the design of a uranium-containing metallic fuel rod for operation in air at 1090 C...This report deals with that phase which involved the testing and evaluation of various metals as barrier costs between uranium alloys, and low-carbon steel. The work is of a preliminary nature and is concerned more with a comparison of the various barrier metals than with the acquisition of numerical da… more

Tritium Wastes

Description: This is a memorandum from the Hanford Operations Office about the possibility of tritium wastes escaping into the atmosphere. The waste which is disposed of in burial grounds eventually migrates to the Columbia River where it evaporates into the atmosphere. Also included in this memo is a statement of an error in the units of some data compiled for the monitoring of the tritium wastes. (MB)

Particle size of particulate matter in the dissolver off-gas stream

Description: This report discusses particle size measurements with a modified cascade impactor of the particulate matter in the dissolver off-gases during the period of maximum gas evolution, and during the air sparge of the dissolver solution after the completion of the dissolving cycle which indicate that the mass-size median of the particles was less than 0.1 micron in both cases. The measurements were made, unfortunately, at a time when the efficiency of the silver reactor upstream to the sampling point… more

Metallurgy Division Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending October 31, 1950

Description: Minor changes in materials and methods resulted in increased yields in the production of fuel elements for the Bulk Shielding Facility. Attempts to bond uranium to a mercury-- silver alloy resulted in bonds of insufficient strength. Thorium alloys containing 2 to 4% Nb. Cr. Mn, Ti, Zr, Be. Al, and Si were prepared. The alloys containing Be, Al. or Si were hard, brittle, and not cold-workable. The alloys containing the other elements were coldworkable in the as-cast condition. Impact testing of … more

The Effects of Atomic Weapons on Glazing and Window Construction. Annex 3.5 of Scientific Director's Report of Atomic Weapon Tests at Eniwetok. 1951. Operation Greenhouse

Description: BS>Various types of wood, steel, and aluminum window construction, glazed with plastic and different kinds of glass, were installed on four sides of a test structure during the greenhouse tests in order to determine their relative resistance to an atomic blast. The degree of protection from flying glass provided by mounting Venetian blinds, insect screens, and 1/4-in. mesh wire netting on the inside of window openings was also determined. The best results seem to indicate that the resistances o… more

A Glass Still for the Evaluation of Column Packing With Uranium Hexafluoride

Description: The operating holdup and flooding rates of uranium hexafluoride, n-heptane, and perfluorodimethylcyclohexane have been studied in a glass still filled with 1/8 inch nickel Heli-Pak. The flooding rates of the latter two substances are 46.0 and 48.0 cc./min. respectively and the flooding rate for uranium hexafluoride, calculated from the Bertetti equation, is 42.9 cc./min. The operating holdups for these three substances on Heli-Pak were measured at several throughput rates up to the flooding rat… more

Report for General Research for December 11, 1950 to April 2, 1951. (Radium Volume)

Description: The work presented in this volume concludes the research on methods for the recovery of purified radium from K-65 residues. The completion of a final report and an engineering study of the proposed process are underway. The preliminary treatment of the K-65 residues with 15% sodium hydroxide was checked and found to give 84% removal of lead and 40% removal of silica. The combined sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate treatment for removing additional amounts of lead and achieving a preliminary con… more

THE NICKEL-PLUTONIUM SYSTEM

Description: A tentative nickel-plutoniuni constitutional diagram was based on data obtained by thermal analysis, metallography, and x-ray-diifraction techniques. The systema is a complex one with the following important features. Nickel is soluble in epsilon plutonium, extending the epsilon field to 4.3 at.% nickel at 465 deg C. Nickel and plutonium form six intermetallic compounds, PuNi, EnNi/sub 2/, PuNi/sub 3/, PuNi/sub 4/, PuNi/sub 5/, and PuNi/sub 9/. The compound PuNi/ sub 5/ forms congruently from t… more

Development of Zirconium Alloys. Part 1

Description: A number of alloys of zirconium have been investigated as part of a program aimed at improving the high-temperature tensile strength of zirconium. These alloys include molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, tin, titanium, and nitrogen alloys. It was found that small additions of molybdenum, tantalum, tin, titanium, and nitrogen appreciably increase the high-temperature tensile strength of zirconium.

FURTHER RESULTS ON THE PRODUCTION OF NEUTRAL MESONS BY PHOTONS

Description: Further measurements have been made on the photoproduction of neutral mesons using the gamma-gamma coincidence technique. New data have been obtained on the gamma-gamma correlation curves in beryllium. The angular distribution of the photo mesons in Be has been determined and found to be strongly peaked forward. The dependence on the atomic number A of production has been found to obey an A{sup2/3} law. Some data obtained for production in hydrogen show that the pi-zero and pi-plus production c… more
