Progress Report on Waste Concentration Studies: Engineering Results on the BNL Semi-Works Vapor Filtration Vapor Compression Evaporator

Description: Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing progress of waste concentration studies. As stated in the introduction, "the present report covers all experimental hot runs up to the time the still was turned over to the Waste Control Section for intermediate handling of laboratory D waste" (p. 1). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

The Concentration of Deuterium by Chemical Exchange Between Hydrogen and Ammonia

Description: Technical report describing the results of the chemical reaction between potassium amide and liquid ammonia and the exchange of hydrogen between hydrogen gas and liquid ammonia. This report finds that the reactions may be sufficiently rapid to be useful for isotope separations on a larger scale.

Irradiation Effects on 2S Aluminum

Description: As a result of unreported information, it was suspected by some people that a change in dimension was experienced by 2S Aluminum due to a sudden change in neutron flux impinging on it. This was thought to be of the order of 500 microinches per inch in magnitude. Such an effect, if present, could help explain some of the creep phenomena reported lately (i.e. change in creep rate due to cyclotron bombardment.)
