Uranium Oxide Slurry Pumping Experiments

Description: Abstract: Experiments on colloid milling and pumping show that uranium trioxide, when carefully dehydrated, can be dispersed in water to form a relatively stable slurry, suitable for a homogeneous slurry pile. At temperatures considerably below those of anticipated pile operation particle size growth occurs attended by increase in settling rate and decrease in viscosity. Theses properties of the slurries may be strongly affected by impurities present as well as by special operating condition… more

Electrolytic Production of Uranium from Solutions of its Tribromide in Fused Salts

Description: Abstract. the electrodeposition of uranium metal, in the form of tree-like deposits, from molten strontium halide baths is described. Under the best conditions studied, approximately 40% recovery is attained. Freedom from side-reactions of the reduced uranium with anode products and/or refractory materials, and high cathode current densities appear to be essential to the success of the process. the refining of uranium under similar conditions appears to occur quite readily, with approximatel… more

Sealing of Holes in Aluminum Sheet by Oxidation

Description: Aluminum oxide occupies a larger volume than the aluminum it contains would fill as metal, consequently, the assumption has been made that holes in metallic aluminum would close by a sufficient amount of oxidation. Therefore, we were asked to investigate the rate of plug formation under conditions to be expected in the pile. For the latter we were requested to approach the pile conditions as nearly as we could by employing the Chicago cyclotron. It seems to us that the problem divides itself in… more

[Typed version: Letter from Carolyn R. Itri to Private Nicholas C. Soviero, August 14, 1944]

Description: Typed version: A love letter from Carolyn R. Itri to her future husband, Nicholas C. Soviero. The letter reads, "I was very lucky today and started the week right. I got a letter from you this morning & and a V mail this afternoon". The letter continues with a description of a photo that was enclosed in the original letter and a discussion of how Nicholas should write to his mother and father more frequently as Carolyn doesn't want his mother to be hurt. The letter coincides with an anniversary… more

Fission Product Poisoning in a Pile

Description: Abstract. The effect of the neutron flux on the relative importance of different fission product poisons is discussed. The general expression for the poising of a fission product is given with the various equations for special cases of interest. The formulae are applied to the problem of finding the poisoning due to fission products at the end of one day in a pile operating with a flux of 4 x 10(14) neutrons/cm(2)/soc. These results are summarized in the table on page 12. Appendix I contains a … more
