The evolution of iodine during metal dissolution

Description: During the dissolution in nitric acid of uranium metal which has been irradiated in a pile, radio-iodine (8.0 day) and radio-xenon (5.3 day) are liberated along with the oxides of nitrogen. Since in the plant these gases are discharged into the atmosphere, the presence of the activities (particularly radio-iodine because of its greater chemical reactivity) presents a physiological hazard. As a consequence, the cooling period (that is, the time between the discharge of the metal from the pile an… more

The metal fabrication program for the Clinton Engineer Works and the Hanford Engineer Works. Including the Dummy Slug Program and the Unbonded Slug Program -- Project 1553

Description: The uranium slugs were used as the charge into the pile for the manufacture of minute quantities of plutonium. So little was known of uranium`s commercially adaptable physical properties that it was relegated almost to the category of a laboratory curiosity. A series of experimental and developmental programs were inaugurated to determine not only the extrudability, machinability and other physical properties, but also the influence on these of microscopic quantities of impurities present in th… more

A study of the Quartz Fiber Balance No. 1 (Information Report)

Description: This article is a de-classified document produced by Monsanto Chemical Company-Unit III in Dayton, Ohio. The date of the document is August 1, 1945, and the subject is the operation of a quartz fiber microbalance. In particular, the document examines whether temperature fluctuations affect the operation of the instrument. Data was presented to show that the accuracy of the instrument was indeed affected by ambient temperature.
