|
 | A special study of the infrared heat lamps used in the Radiological and Biological Chemistry Division of the US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency to dry samples was conducted during the period September-October 1974. It was concluded that a personnel hazard from infrared radiation did not exist; however, continuous viewing of the light reflected from the planchette exceeds current recommended limits. (Author) |

|
| A special study of the optical radiation hazards of the AN/UAS-9 Laser Rangefinder-Designator (LRFD) was conducted by personnel from the US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency at Sacramento Army Depot on 7 October 1974. It was determined that hazardous levels of optical radiation may exist out to a range of 9.7 km if viewed by the unaided eye. (Author) |

|
| In addition to the usual effects of distance, orientation, and frequency, the following factors and their interactions were evaluated for the tests conducted on the USS Randolph: antenna tilt, aircraft-antenna angle, and distance from the end of the flight deck. Many conditions on shipboard can not be simulated by the existing ground planes. Hence, ground plane tests can only be used to identify variables and their general behavior. (Author) |

|
| The design, development, and testing of a spaceflight experiment to provide data for the assessment of mathematical shielding study models was investigated. The experiment was to provide data for assessment of mathematical shielding study models for comparison with the results obtained by a computer program. This experiment measured proton depth-dose distribution, bremsstrahlung production, and the effects of radiation anisotropy, energy spectrum, and vehicle heterogeneity under known (measured) conditions of radiation ... |

| THE EFFECT OF SELECTED DILUENT GASES ON THE SELF-INDUCED ISOTOPIC EXCHANGE BETWEEN TRITIUM AND WATER VAPOR. |

|
| The effect of various diluent gases on the rate of the self-induced exchange between tritium and water vapor was investigated. The gases studied were: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, air, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and ammonia. The average value found for a second-order rate constant, for inert gases agreed with that found previously (See AD-246 259). Air and nitrogen as diluents yielded rate constants of 0.00127 and 0.00086 ml/mc/hr, respectively. Oxygen ... |
