Preferred orientation in cross-rolled uranium /

A study is made of the preferred orientation that occurs as a result of cross-rolling uranium sheet. The study is made by the use of inverse-pole figures and calculated thermal expansion coefficients.

Study of plutonium oxide heat generation in a wood moderated container /

The generation of heat due to the radioactive decay of plutonium in the form of plutonium dioxide stored in wooden containers is considered. The results of two experiments in which plutonium dioxide is placed inside wooden blocks and the temperature rise measured at various points is reported. Heat transfer calculations are then performed to show that the data obtained are those which would be expected, i.e., that Fourier's Law adequately describes the situation. The heat build up in a proposed wood moderated shipping container is calculated, using some of the assumptions verified in the described experiments.

Growth of alpha plutonium crystals from melts under extreme pressure /

Large-grained alpha plutonium has been prepared by slow solidification of melts under pressure of about 60 kbars. The technique opens the way to produce single crystals of alpha plutonium, and to obtain basic information previously unattainable.

A study of spontaneous ignition of metals /

This report describes a study of the reactions occurring in the spontaneous ignition of zirconium and titanium (and their alloys), with emphasis on the former. Conditions required for spontaneous ignition, including the effects of certain impurities, surface conditions, and composition of the atmosphere around the metal were investigated. In addition, the mechanism of ignition was studied by following the thermal history of the reactions during the first few milliseconds.
