Exploration of the Big Boulder Prospect, Larimer County, Colorado

Description: From introduction: The Big Boulder prospect is in SE 1/4 sec. 36, T.7N., R.,72W., in Tarimer County, Colorado. The prospect has been opened by four irregular trenches and shallow cuts, and a 10-foot discovery shaft. Hanley 1/4 states that 10.5 tons of beryl were produced from the Big Boulder prospect in 1936, and about 600 pounds in 1941.

Third Safety Considerations

Description: The present liquid third safety is considered undesirable for the piles at their present power levels. Any increase in power level and graphite temperature makes the need for an alternative third safety increasingly imperative. The use of the third safety is envisioned under conditions where the supply of cooling water to an operating pile is interrupted and concurrently the safety rods full to enter the pile because of slight shifting of the top shield or larger shifting of the winches, relati… more

Report of initial urinalyses on Bio-Assay personnel for the evaluation of benzol exposures

Description: In November, 1949, an industrial hygiene study was made of the operations conducted in the Bio-Assay Laboratory, 706 Building, 700 Area. This study was conducted by W.E. Gill and reported in HW-15654. One of the potential health hazards investigated was the use of benzol in laboratory procedures. An evaluation of this problem where the solvent was employed for cleaning glassware indicated that the solvent vapor was present in the workers` breathing zone in concentrations occasionally as high as… more

Amplifier Design for Proportional Ionization Chambers

Description: This paper presents the requirements of a nuclear amplifier of short resolving time, designed to accept pulses of widely varying amplitudes. Data are given which show that a proportional ionization chamber loaded with a 1,000-ohm resistor develops pulses of 0.5 microsecond duration and several volts amplitude. Results indicate that seven basic requirements are imposed on the amplifier when counting soft beta and gamma radiation in the presence of alpha particles, without absorbers. It should, (… more

Higher Resolution Neutron Velocity Spectrometer Measurements of Enriched Uranium

Description: The slow neutron transmission of a sample of enriched uranium containing 3.193 gm/cm{sup2} has been investigated with a resolution width of 1 microsec/m (1 microsec/m is the full width of the triangular resolution function at the base) and with points spaced 1/3 microsec/m. The results of these transmission measurements are shown in Fig. 1. The solid line represents the new measurements while the dashed line represents the previous measurements (CUD-4) on this sample using a resolution width of… more

On the Particular Integrals of the Prandtl-Busemann Iteration Equations for the Flow of a Compressible Fluid

Description: Note presenting the particular integrals of the second-order and third-order Prandtl-Busemann iteration equations for the flow of a compressible fluid that have been obtained by means of the method in which the complex conjugate variables are utilized as the independent variables of the analysis. The forms of the particular integrals, derived for subsonic flow, are readily adapted to supersonic flows with only a change in sign of one of the parameters of the problem.
