Studies of the Metabolism of Certain Fission Products and Plutonium

Description: A short survey of some of the metabolic relationships of the elements, cerium, colurbium, plutonium, strontium, yttrium, and zirconium is presented. While the results of internally deposited radium have not been investigated in these experiments, they have been extensively studies by others. Because so much is known of its biological effects, it has been included in this historical survey.

Total Neutron Yield From Targets Bombarded by Deuterons and Protons

Description: The total number of neutrons emitted from various targets bombarded by high energy deuterons and protons was measured by using a solution of MnSO<sub>4 to thermalize and capture the neutrons. The methods of monitoring the number of particles striking the target and of calibrating the neutron detecxting apparatus are discussed in detail. Deuterons of energies to 230 Mev and protons of energies to 345 Mev were used. Targets ranging from lithium to uranium were used and were backed by secondary ta… more
