Boron equivalent weights

Many details of this masterpiece of chemical induction 10,18) were decided by pushing from firmer evidence for adjacent elements. Thus, beryllium had to be accommodated in column II, because boron needed a space in III the equivalent weights... 

In a series of experiments and measurements performed in the writer s laboratory, it was shown that the range of heat outputs can be vastly extended by using strontium and (even better) calcium chromate in lieu of the barium chromate (Table 23). Because of the lower equivalent weight of the alkaline earth ballast in the calcium chromate, the peak calories per gram for series of mixtures with boron... 

Each boiling water reactor must have a standby liquid control system (SLCS) with a minimum flow capacity and boron content equivalent in control capacity to 86 gallons per minute of 13 weight percent sodium pentaborate solution. The SLCS and its injection location must be designed to perform its function in a reliable manner. The SLCS initiation must be automatic and must be designed to perform its function in a reliable manner for plants granted...
