Nuclear Science Abstracts

Public Availability of Reports Abstracted in Nuclear Science Abstracts. This publication lists in one alpha-numerical sequence all of the reports abstracted in NSA and its predecessor. Abstracts of Declassified Reports (1947-1948). In addition to providing a reference to the volume and abstract number for each report, the publication gives the public source and price (if known) for the reports. The latest edition (TID-4000, 5th edition) is available from OTS for 5.

A semimonthly journal. Nuclear Science Abstracts 19)is issued by the AEC. It contains abstracts and an index of all current nonclassified research and development reports disseminated by the AEC and its contractors, as well as pertinent nonclassified reports issued by other government agencies or appearing in foreign and domestic journals. 

Several hundred declassified AEC reports appear in the National Nuclear Energy Series (NNES), which is a record of the research carried on by the Manhattan District and the AEC. These volumes are being published by McGraw-Hill, and their contents are listed in Nuclear Science Abstracts. Qi special interest may be the volume, Preparation, Properties, and Technology of Fluorine and Organic Fluoro Compounds 20). Much of the development work on fluorocarbon polymers was done by the Manhattan District during the last war, and AEC-sponsored publications are a valuable source of information on these materials. 

Over 1500 AEC reports published in the usual scientific and technical journals are also listed in Nuclear Science Abstracts. However, over 1600 reports not published in journals or listed in the NNES are for sale by OTS, from which price lists may be obtained. These reports are also listed in the monthly catalog of the Government Printing Office. Nearly all the nonclassified AEC research and development reports which are not published in journals or in the NNES are supplied to 40 depository libraries located throughout the country and are thus readily available to literature searchers. A list of these libraries is contained in a booklet, Availability of US AEC Research and Development Reports 21).

A scientist or engineer seated at any of these terminals may search through the system s indices or browse through the document citations to locate the ones he needs. The citations in the system are those which have appeared in Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) since 1967 or which have been compiled into one of the special data bases added to the system. Information from NSA or the special data bases can be selectively retrieved by typing simple search commands on the station s keyboard with the dialog between user...

This report has been prepared as one of a series of monographs on the radiochemistry of the elements for the Subcommittee on Radiochemistry of the Committee on Nuclear Science within the National Academy of Sciences. Information presented here has been obtained in a search which included the Chemical Abstracts from 1937 to June I960 Nuclear Science Abstracts from 1948 to June i960 Abstracts of Declassified Documents for 1947 and 1948 Analytical Abstracts from 1955 to June I960 and the author s personal experiences from 1950 to the present. Data have been included primarily for radiochemists working with tini but it is hoped that others will also find the information useful. 

The specialist abstract journals, such as Analytical Abstracts, Nuclear Science Abstracts, etc., should be scanned in the same way as Chemical Abstracts, and these should be followed by a perusal of the annual indexes to specialized journals of relevant interest. The technical indexes such as Engineering Index, Applied Science and Technology Index, and British Technology Index are often very useful, particularly in the case of chemical engineering subjects.
