Progress Report on Nonaqueous Extractive Methods for Western Uranium Ores

Description: The following progress reports continues the investigation of the HCl-acetone process for extracting uranium, discovering that it is applicable to most Western ores, yielding high uranium recoveries. The economics of the process have been improved by substitution of sulfuric acid for part of the hydrochloric acid requirements.

Uranium in the Black Rock District Yavapai County, Arizona

Description: From abstract: A radioactivity survey of the Black Rock district in southern Yavapai County, Ariz, disclosed anomalous radioactivity in several localities, chiefly at the Abe Lincoln mine in sec. 11, T. 8 N., R. 3 W., about 14 road miles northeast of Wickenburg. The Abe Lincoln vein system occupies a fault zone which strikes N. 500 E. and dips from 780 to 870 NW. Moderate radioactivity is present at the Bracken property and at several other localities in the Black Rock district. The writers rec… more

Final report on Production Test No. 105-551-SR -- The fission gas experiment, KAPL-M-108

Description: This experiment was designed to furnish data on the quantitative relationship between exposure of enriched uranium metal to thermal neutron bombardment and the subsequent release of gaseous fission fragments from the metal. Studies of data obtained from the in-pile phase of the KAPL Fission Gas Experiment indicate, neglecting startup and shutdown transients, that gaseous fission fragments generated within a 6-mill foil of uranium metal maintained at an operating temperature of about 450 C are r… more

Macro-examination of enriched uranium slug ruptures

Description: This report covers the preliminary data obtained in a metallurgical study of the three enriched uranium slugs which ruptured in the 100-C Pile. The three slugs were from PT-105-532-A2, ``Irradiation of Enriched Uranium Slugs,`` a test conducted by Pile Technology for the purpose of studying the effects of high specific powers in uranium slugs. The uranium used in this test was enriched to 1.75.

Economic evaluation of recirculation as a method of pile cooling

Description: Reductions in irradiation costs and increases in production rate have provided a continuing incentive for more efficient operation of the Hanford Piles. These improvements have been obtained by means of higher specific powers, greater water flow rates, and better water utilization. However, the extent of the improvements which can be made in this manner may be limited by such factors as tube and slug corrosion, slug stability, and graphite damage rates at higher operating temperatures. Water pu… more

Determination of the Vapor Pressure of Lanthanum Fluoride

Description: Preliminary experiments have been made to determine the vapor pressure of lanthanum fluoride between 0.001 and 0.1 millimeter of mercury by means of the Knudsen effusion method. A tantalum cell for this purpose is described. Only preliminary results were obtained and they were all in a relatively high pressure region. However, a plot of the vapor pressure against the reciprocal of absolute temperature approximates a straight line such as would be predicted from theoretical considerations.
