Studies were conducted on the causes of low germination of
monogerm sugarbeet seed grown in western Oregon. Emphasis was
placed on the identification and measurement of endogenous inhibitors
as related to the germination and vigor. Both qualitative and quantitative
analytical methods were applied to examine the organic substances
in the...
A two-dimensional perturbation theory computer code,
PERT-IV, has been developed that will calculate reactivity
coefficients, the delayed neutron fraction, and the neutron
generation time.
The program uses the output flux and adjoint
flux from either a diffusion theory or transport theory program.
A discussion and derivation of the perturbation equation...
The High Temperature Lattice Test Reactor (HTLTR) at Richland,
Washington, operates at temperatures up to 1000°C. Its low nuclear
power requires a 384 kilowatt electrical heating system, that is
divided into four circuits, to attain the high temperatures in the
ten-foot cube of moderating graphite. This thesis describes the
design...
This report presents a characterization of the quantum mechanical
analog of the Gibbs canonical density. The approach is
based on a method developed by D.S. Carter for the case of classical
statistical mechanics, which considers composite mechanical systems
composed of mechanically and statistically independent components.
After a brief introductory chapter,...
