Selected reactors of the Power Reactor Demonstration Program : a literature search /

"Listing of reports dealing with eleven reactors of the Power Reactor Demonstration Program."

Lithium and lithium hydride : chemical and physical properties : a literature search /

This literature search consisting of 187 references to report and published literature taken from Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA). The period covered is January, 1951 - November 15, 1960. Abstracts for the references can be found in NSA by the abstract numbers provided.

Direct energy conversion devices : a literature search /

Included are 208 unclassified references on nuclear direct energy conversion devices. Major emphasis is placed on auxiliary power devices suitable for use in satellites including reports on nuclear batteries, thermoelectric cells, thermionic conversion, and all phases of the SNAP program, although not all SNAP devices employ direct conversion. This search supersedes a previous search, TID-3540, Isotopic Power and Thermionic Conversion, compiled by Raymond L. Scott in December 1959.

Direct energy conversion devices : a literature search /

Included are 344 unclassified references on devices utilizing nuclear energy in the production of auxiliary power. The coverage includes nuclear batteries, thermoelectric cells, thermionic cells, and all phases of the SNAP program, although not all SNAP devices employ direct conversion. References from Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) through December 15, 1961, are included.

NS Savannah : a literature search /

A total of 189 annotated references to reports, books, journal articles, and conference papers are cited, covering research, development and other aspects of the NS Savannah nuclear merchant ship. Personal author and report-number indexes are included.

Shock tube studies of the effects of sharp-rising, long-duration overpressures on biological systems /

Shock tubes have been used successfully by a number of investigators to study the biological effects of variations in environmental pressures (1,2,3). Recently an unusually versatile laboratory pressurization source became available with the capability of consistently reproducing a wide variety of pressure-time phenomena of durations equal to and well beyond those associated with the detonation of nuclear devices (4). Thus it became possible to supplement costly full-scale field research in blast biology carried out at the Nevada Test Site (5,6) by using an economical yet realistic laboratory tool. In one exploratory study employing pressure pulses of 5 to 10 sec duration wherein the times to max overpressure and the magnitudes of the overpressures were varied, a relatively high tolerance of biological media to pressures well over 150 psi was demonstrated (7). In contrast, the present paper will describe the relatively high biological susceptibility to long duration overpressures in which the pressure rises occurred in single and double fast-rising steps.
