Technical Report · Fri Oct 01 04:00:00 EST 1948

OSTI ID:4348337

Power Pile Problems. Investigations are reported on: the properties of BeO, impregnation of graiphite with U, effect of heating and radiation U- impregnated graphate, diffusion of radioxenon from BeO-UO/sub 2/, and radiation effects on BeO and BeO-UO/sub2/ materials. Solid State Problems. The studies reported oa are: radiation effects on artifical graphite and natural graphite crystals, neutron capture cross section of C/sup 13/, distribution of Cal in irradiated graphite, heat of sublimation and vapor pressure of graiihite, radiation effects on gas production in crystals, sputtering of metals on irradiation, absorption spectra of irradiated and unirradiated MgO crystals, alkali halide crystals with color center, and Tl activated alkalii halide phosphors. Radiochemistry. Snow neutron fission yields in U/sup 233/ and preparation of fission product Sn isotopes were studied. Analytical Problems in spectrograhy of Np/sup 237/ ere investigated. (T.R.H.)
