The Density of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions and the Determination of Uranium Concentration by Density Measurements

Description: A study of the density of aqueous uranyl solutions is described which was had as its primary purpose the development of an analytical method for the determination of uranium in relatively dilute solutions of this salt. These solutions contain trace amounts of contaminating elements. The presence of small amounts of free sulfuric acid and moderate variations in the temperature at which density measurements are made can be compensated for by the use of equations provided for the calculation of ur… more

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE ISOTOPES OF AMERICIUM AND CURIUM

Description: Isotopes of americium and curium with mass numbers less than 242 have been produced by cyclotron bombardment techniques, and several of their nuclear properties have been investigated. The partial alpha half-lives of Am{sup 239}, Cm{sup 241}, and Cm{sup 240} and the partial half-life for spontaneous fission of Cm{sup 240} were measured. The alpha decay daughter of Cm{sup 238} was found and evidence for the discovery of Am{sup 237} (an {approx}1 hour electron capture activity) and Cm{sup 239} (a… more

The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis. XVI. Kinetic Relationshipsof the Intermediates in Steady State Photosynthesis

Description: A kinetic study of the accumulation of C{sup 14} in the intermediates of steady state photosynthesis in C{sup 14}O{sub 2} provides information regarding the sequence of reactions involved. The work described applied the radio-chromatographic technique for analysis of the labeled early products. The simultaneous carboxylation reaction resulting in malic acid as well as phosphoglycerate is demonstrated in experiments at high light intensity. A comparison of radioactivities in a number of phosphor… more

Temperature distribution in a slug

Description: Temperature variations in a slug create problems in stresses, corrosion, and design. As an acid in solving these problems for present and higher power levels, the temperature distribution and anticipated maximum temperatures have been calculated and are presented here. They are based upon theoretical investigations of heat flow in a four inch standard slug. The results of these investigations are presented in this document.

U.S. NAVY STRUCTURES. ANNEX 3.2 OF SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR'S REPORT OF ATOMIC WEAPON TESTS AT ENIWETOK, 1951

Description: Structures are subjected to a 50-kt blast, in order to obtain fundamental data on structures subjected to blast loading, to observe the response of the structures under this loading, and to determine the relative blast-resistance merits of several structural types. Modes of failure are determined. Shaped structures are found to be superdor to rectangular structures. Earth cover for the structures is also found to increase the blast resistance. It is found that standard Navy heavy bomb-proof str… more
