jectives, the accomplishments, and a summary of the work outstanding. The obtectives of the experimental and analytical studies were to investigate and reach an understanding of the kinetic behavior of aqueous homogeneous reactors. Information produced by the program, experiments on the spherical core, capsule experiments, and the remaining work schedule are discussed. (W.D.M.)

Discussing holes drilled in order to evaluate the uranium potential of the Bee area in San Juan County, Utah.

The preliminary design of a 3095-Mw(thermal), helium-cooled, graphite- moderated reactor employing sign conditions, 1500 deg F reactor outlet gas would be circulated to eight steam generators to produce 1050 deg F, 1450-psi steam which would be converted to electrical power in eight 157-Mw(electrical) turbine- generators. The over-all efficiency of this nuclear power station is 36.5%. The significant activities released from the unclad graphite-UO/sub 2/ fuel appear to be less than 0.2% of those produced and would be equivalent to 0.002 curie/ cm/ sup 3/ in the primary helium circuit. The maintenance problems associated with this contamination level are discussed. A cost analysis indicates that the capital cost of this nuclear station per electrical kilowatt would be around 0, and that the production cost of electrical power would be 7.8 mills/kwhr. (auth)

The unclassified literature covering 2498 reports from 1907 through 1957 has been searched for isotopic exchange and isotepic separation reactions involving U and the lighter elements of the periodic chart through atomic number 30. From 1953 to 1957, all elements were included Numerous references to isotope properties, isotopic ratios, and kinetic isotope effects were included. This is a complete revision of TID-3036 (Revised) issued June 4, 1954. An author index is included. (auth)

Memorandum presenting an analysis of a large number of liquid-metal-to-air heat-exchanger cores for the nuclear-powered liquid-metal turbojet cycle to determine which types yield the best overall net thrust per total engine weight. The performances of all exchangers considered were initially evaluated at a median condition. The performance of the best of each of the four types was compared with that of a shell-and-tube exchanger with the air flowing through the tubes, operating at the same condition.

"An investigation was made of the trim and dynamic response characteristics of the free-floating horizontal tail of a 1/7-scale model of the complete tail of the Grumman XF10F-1 airplane in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers up to 1.13. The complete tail was mounted in the tunnel on a 3 degree conical support body. Various configurations were investigated. A loss in damping of the horizontal tail at transonic speeds was shown by both tunnel and flight tests" (p. 1).

Annual report submitted by the Boy Scouts of America to Congress describing highlights from 1956, activities, conservation efforts, health and safety, public relations, organizational leadership, and other information about scouting programs. {{{add/change details as appropriate}}}

Report documenting the suitability of Illinois for plant locations to produce synthetic liquid fuels, based on raw materials such as coal, natural gas, and oil shales.

This document presents a summary of work and progress at the Hanford Engineer Works for August 1956. The report is divided into sections by department. A plant wide general summary is included at the beginning of the report, after which the departmental summaries begin. The Manufacturing Department reports plant statistics, and summaries for the Metal Preparation, Reactor and Separation sections. The Engineering Department`s section summarizes work for the Technical, Design, and Project Sections. Costs for the various departments are presented in the Financial Department`s summary. The Medical, Radiological Sciences, Utilities and General Sciences, Employee and Public Relations, and Community Real Estate and Services departments have sections presenting their monthly statistics, work, progress, and summaries.
