In den WarenkorbFolder. Zustand: Good. Multiple original. Format is 9 inches by 12 inches. Photograph of The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the center of the front of the folder. Pocket/flaps on both of the interior sides. Back cover has some text For Further Information. Oak Ridge National Laboratory was operated for the U. S. Atomic Energy…Commission. The Union Carbide corporation succeeded Tennessee Eastman as the operating contractor in 1947, remaining until 1984, when Union Carbide relinquished the contract for operating DOE's Oak Ridge facilities, and the Martin Marietta corporation (later Lockheed Martin) won the contract to take over the operation. Non-mandatory ZIP codes were introduced to the United States in 1963. Therefore, by this data point, this folder dates from between 1963 and 1984. However, the date range can be narrowed even further. The Atomic Energy Commission was folded into the Energy Research and Development Administration in 1975, meaning that this folder was produced between 1963 and 1975. This folder by itself would be an interesting exhibit item as well as an authentic holder for appropriate Oak Ridge National Laboratory materials a collector may possess. Folder has some edge wear and soiling. Fold is empty.

In den WarenkorbBrochure. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Eight pages plus covers. Illustrated covers (color). Illustrations (some in color). References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The Health Physics Research Reactor became operational at the Oak Ridge National… Laboratory on May 31, 1963. A small, unshielded and uncooled fast reactor, the HPRR was designed as a versatile tool for research in health physics and related fields. The core is a right, circular cylinder (8 in. in diameter and 9 in. high) of enriched uranium (93.14 per cent 235U) alloyed with 10 per cent by weight of molybdenum. Steady-state power levels range from 0.1 W or less to 10 kW, and the pulse mode yields pulses in the range of 1016-1017 fissions per pulse. For a pulse of 1017 fissions, the pulse width at half maximum pulse height is about 60 sec. The fast neutron to gamma ray dose ratio at distances up to several m is approximately 10. Dose rates for a fixed geometry may be varied by 12 orders of magnitude; the fast neutron dose rate at 1 m from the center of the core is approximately 3.3 tissue rad per hr/W. The facility has, in a number of cases, been made available for worthwhile research projects originating in other laboratories. This document discusses the history of the reactor, the DOSAR Facility, the Reactor building, the Fast Burst Reactor, its operation, Radiation Safety, and Research Experiments.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an American multiprogram science and technology national laboratory sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and administered, managed, and operated by a management and operating contractor. Established in 1942, ORNL is the largest science and energy national laboratory in the Department of Energy system (by size) and by annual budget. ORNL is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, near Knoxville. ORNL's scientific programs focus on materials, neutron science, energy, high-performance computing, systems biology and national security. ORNL partners with the state of Tennessee, universities and industries, to solve challenges in energy, advanced materials, manufacturing, security and physics. The laboratory has several of the world's top supercomputers; among these, Summit is ranked by the TOP500 as the world's second-most powerful supercomputer. The lab also is a leading neutron-science and nuclear-energy research facility that includes the Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Staplebound. 17 pages, plus covers. Printed on one side only. Map. Illustrations. This report was issued on December 8, 1972, a week before the visit and can be assumed to be both a planning document and part of the foreign visitor security planning. Nobuhiko Ushiba (…16 November 1909-31 December 1984) was a Japanese diplomat who served as Ambassador to Canada from 1961 to 1964, Ambassador to the United States from 1970 to 1973, and as Minister of State for External Economic Affairs from 1977 to 1979. The last was a position in the Cabinet of Japan. He received an appointment as first secretary at the Japanese Embassy in Berlin, and served there until the end of World War II (with a brief stint in the Japanese embassy in London just prior to the war). He was very close to General Hiroshi shima, Japan's ambassador to Nazi Germany. By at least 1939, he was helping to run a "bureaucratic intelligence service" which spied on Nazi Germany for the Japanese government. This document provides a step by step discussion of the visit itinerary with illustrations of major items to be seen. K-25 was the codename given by the Manhattan Project to the program to produce enriched uranium for atomic bombs using the gaseous diffusion method. Originally the codename for the product, over time it came to refer to the project, the production facility located at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the main gaseous diffusion building, and ultimately the site. When it was built in 1944, the four-story K-25 gaseous diffusion plant was the world's largest building, comprising over 1,640,000 square feet of floor space and a volume of 97,500,000 cubic feet. Gaseous diffusion is based on Graham's law, which states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass. The highly corrosive uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) was the only known compound of uranium sufficiently volatile to be used in this process. Before this could be done, the Special Alloyed Materials (SAM) Laboratories at Columbia University and the Kellex Corporation had to overcome formidable difficulties to develop a suitable barrier.

Illustrations (some in color). References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The documents starts out with a discussion of Accelerators, Past and Present,…High Voltage Accelerator Laboratory, the Accelerator Concept, the Van De Graaff Principle, the Cockcroft-Walton Accelerator, the 3mV Van de Graaff, 5.5MV Van de Graaff, The Tandem Concept, The Tandem van de Graaff, Experimental Nuclear Physics, and Special Facilities. Tasked in 1948 with developing an accelerator program to, initially, produce neutrons for research, Oak Ridge scientists begin acquiring or building Van de Graaff accelerators, the only known source of neutrons with precise energies. They later acquire a Cockcroft-Walton unit, an early particle accelerator named for its inventors, to test radiation effects at lower energies.
