ENERGY RECEPTION AND TRANSFER IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Description: The basic information about the path of carbon in photosynthesis is reviewed together with the methods that were used to discover it. This has led to the knowledge of what is required of the photochemical reaction in the form of chemical species. Attention is then directed to the structure of the photochemical apparatus itself insofar as it is viewable by electron microscopy, and some principoles of ordered structure are devised for the types of molecules to be found in the chloroplasts.

ROUND TRIP FROM SPACE

Description: Whence came life on the surface of the earth? Whether or not a complete answer to this question may be found within the context, and content, of modern science, may be a moot question. It is our purpose to see how far we can devise an answer, and how satisfactory it may be, within that context. We trace a path from the primitive molecules of the primeval earth's atmosphere condensed from space through the random formation of more or less complex organic molecules, using the available energy sou… more

An evaluation of the Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant

Description: A description of the new Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant for uranium concentrates is given. Prior to the startup of this plant the auger to be later installed was used in an evaluation program to test reliability for representative sampling and uniformity both within drums and between drums of various concentrates. Results of this program were used as a reference for the sampling plant evaluation which involved successive auger and mechanical sampling of a series of lots of se… more

Electrolytic procedure for the removal of ruthenium and nitrate from alkaline waste solutions

Description: The flowsheet proposed by KAPL for the treatment of alkaline nitrate radiochemical processing waste has been modified to include an ion-exchange step for the decontamination of cesium, strontium, and other cationic fission products. In laboratory studies of the electrolysis steps in a nitrate reduction cell, synthetic alkaline waste, 0.55 to 4.83 M total electrolyte, was decontaminated from ruthenium by factors of > 210. The nitrate of 3.0 M waste was reduced to ammonia with current efficien… more
