From Introduction: "Detailed reports on various phases of the oil-shale mining research program have been published by the Bureau of Mines as Reports of Investigations, and numerous articles prepared by the mine staff have been published in the technical press. Summarizes of some of these publications are included in this report with other information not previously published."

Abstract: One hundred gram quantities of uranium dioxide, irradiated to burnup as great as 21,000 Mwd/MTU and previously reprocessed by AIROX (Atomics International Reduction Oxidation), were refabricated into high density pellets and encapsulated for re-irradiation.

This report presents maps and an annotated bibliography of ancient lake deposits in 11 Western States.

Report regarding ongoing research and development undertaken at Hanfdord Laboratories' physics and instruments laboratory and chemical laboratory.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines on the coastal sands and their potential for being used as glass sand. Samples were tested, and properties of the sands are presented. This report includes tables, maps, and photographs.

Report issued by the Office of Saline Water over studies conducted on the reverse-osmosis program. The methods of desalination through osmosis are discussed. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report containing the ongoing research and development of the Oak Ridge National laboratory's Analytical Chemistry Division.

Technical report on the activities of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Biology Division for the report period including a list of 346 publication and lectures and 205 short articles by members of the division on their research and activities.

Report containing ongoing research and development of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Physics Division.

Report documenting the design and testing progress of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Gas-Cooled Reactor Program.

Annual report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing work conducted by the Metallurgy Division during 1963 including progress related to experiments, programs, and studies. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Abstract: Data from the atmospheric sciences support systems for RFD-1 on May 22, 1963, at Bermuda Island, are presented. These data were taken for purposes of later analysis of the ballistic performance of the re-entry vehicle and of the heat transfer mechanisms within it, and for studies of the motion of ablated particles in the atmosphere.

A paper about lacustrine deposits of a pre-Tertiary age that are in lakes between Arizona and Montana.

Abstract: This report is a synthesis of published and unpublished data on the rocks of the Anadarko basin.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing the marketing of ores and mineral concentrates. As stated in the introduction, "the primary purpose of this report is to present data that will be useful to the producer of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc ores and concentrates in determining if a choice or ore markets is available and, if so, in choosing which marketing combination is likely to give a maximum return on ore shipments" (p. 2). This report includes maps, tables, and illustrations.

Abstract: This report constitutes the RFD-1 Safety Flight Plan for investigating the disassembly, distraction, and disposal of the SNAP-10A reactor during re-entry.

From introduction: The present investigation is an attempt, by means of detailed areal mapping, to resolve the relations of the shelf-rock units to one another and to the reef and basin rocks and to clarify the confusing stratigraphic nomenclature.

Re-entry flight demonstration number one (RFD-1) was launched on May 22, 1963 from the Scout launch complex at NASA Wallops Station, Wallops Island, Virginia.

The subject of this report is the generalized computer program written to solve problems involving steady fluid flow through heterogeneous, partially-saturated porous media.

Abstract: This report describes the SNAP-10A Simulated Test Reactor, the test philosophy of Re-entry Flight Demonstration Number One, the analytical analysis of reactor disassembly, and the results of the flight test.

This report documents the design, development, and performance of the flight vehicle for Re-entry Flight Demonstration Number One (RFD-1).

This report on the RFD-1 optical data and external fuel-element experiment includes a description of the instruments and test components used, a presentation of the data obtained, an explanation of the methods of data reduction employed, and a statement of the conclusions derived. It covers the theory, design, qualification tests, flight-test data, and results of the external fuel-element experiment. Also presented is a theoretical analysis of observed versus predicted ablation times and altitudes for the external fuel elements. In addition, this report presents recommendations for improvements to data acquisition and reduction methods in future, similar flight tests.

From foreword: The major objective of the symposium is informing engineers in industry, military, educational institutions, and in government agencies throughout the world of the current state-of-the-art nuclear explosives from an engineering standpoint.
