CM-458/U Signal Comparator
Abstract
The development history, the physical and functional characteristics, and the production activity of the CM-458/U Signal Comparator is described. The CM-458/U Signal Comparator is a test device used to verify proper delivery by the aircraft control equipment of the unique signal used in the prearming of modern nuclear weapons. CM-458/U monitors voltage levels, pulse widths and signal sequence to verify correctness.

COLLECTED INDEPENDENT FISSION YIELDS FOR THERMAL NEUTRON FISSION OF U$sup 233$, Pu$sup 239$, AND U$sup 235$, 14 MEV NEUTRON FISSION OF U$sup 235$, PILE NEUTRON FISSION OF U$sup 238$, Th$sup 232$, AND Am$sup 241$, AND SPONTANEOUS FISSION OF Cm$sup 24$$sup 2$
A study of the isotope shifts in the atomic spectra of the medium-weight elements was undertaken. Experimental data were obtained on the isotope shifts in the spectra of strontium, molybdenum, and ruthenium. A correlation between the binding energy of the last pair of neutrons, obtained from mass spectroscopic data, and isotope shifts was determined. The correlation is explained qualitatively in terms of shell energies and the potential energy of nuclear deformation. (auth)
