"Adlam and Allen and Davis, Lust, and Schluter have studied nonlinear plane-waves, propagating normal to the magnetic field, in a cold plasma. One solution of particular interest is a solitary wave, or single pulse. We present a method for solving the analogous problem for a plasma with finite temperature, in the limiting case where the amplitude of the wave is small and where, consequently, the width of the waver is very large."

Abstract: A 3000 kw (thermal) bayonet duplex tube model steam generator was performance-tested in a liquid metal test loop at MSA Research Corporation, Callery, Pennsylvania, under the cognizance of Atomics International.

Abstract: "This report presents the characteristics incorporated in the design of a ballistic rocket system that is capable of carrying recoverable payloads varying in weight from 75 to 200 pounds to altitudes of 600,000 to 1,000,000 feet (msl)."

Both in magnetohydrodynamic shocks and in accelerated partially ionized gas flow across a magnetic field, space charge separation occurs that establishes very large electric fields in the direction of motion. The width of the current layers associated with the acceleration is never less than the electron Larmor radius with no collisions and is broadened by electron collisions to a width solely determined by the effective resistivity. The electrons gain an energy regardless of collisions equal to the electric potential difference across the layer. This potential corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of mass motion per ion. For slightly ionized gases, the additional stress of neutral ion collisions within the layer can make the electric potential and hence gain in electron energy very large for only modest changes in mass velocity. Hence ionization may occur when the change in kinetic energy of the ions is small compared to the ionization potential.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing uranium mining methods. As stated in the introduction, "this report is one of a series published by the Federal Bureau of Mines to describe methods and costs of mining uranium on the Colorado Plateau" (p. 1). This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.

The guiding center motion and the adiabatic invariants of charged particle trajectories in electromagnetic fields are treated in this review. General and specific theories of charged particle motion are also reviewed.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing the mining costs and methods of the Regal asbestos mine in Arizona. Location, history, production, and development details are presented. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

Abstract: An evaluation extending over a two-year period was made of primary system sodium and of stainless steel, zirconium, and beryllium specimens exposed in the hot and cold legs of a bypass loop in the primary system of the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE).

Report describing "[t]he fabrication of of the first aluminum-plutonium spike enrichment fuel elements for the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) at Hanford" Laboratory (p. 2).

Abstract: "ground-water test well A was drilled to a depth of 1,870 feet with rotary and cable-tool equipment. Only alluvial materials were penetrated. These were saturated below 1,605 feet. Pumping and bailing tests indicate that the minimum transmissibility of the alluvium is about 800 gallons per day per foot. The specific capacity was 1.9 gallons per minute per foot of drawdown after 1 hours of pumping at rates of both 41 and 60 gallons per minute. A suite of geophysical logs, a summary of contract costs, and a detailed description of drilling equipment and casing record are presented."

This report summarizes only that portion of the injection-casting experiments in which the castings were made with air pressure.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing uranium mining methods. As stated in the introduction, "the Federal Bureau of Mines is publishing a series of studies on the methods and costs of mining uranium on the Colorado Plateau. This report describes the long-wall mining methods and techniques used at the Radon mine, Big Indian district, San Juan County, Utah" (p. 1). This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, photographs.

The following report is the last in a series of periodic reports covering investigations made by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Divisions of Raw Materials and Research of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The following is a bibliography of Geological Survey publications stemming from investigations on radioactive materials and deposits since 1942.

Abstract: "This report discusses tests conducted to determine the accuracy of meteorological equipment which is used to gather upper air data. Equipment tested was the GMD-2, SMD-1A, GMD-1B, and the WBRT-57. A four-station phototheodolite network was used as a standard for point-in-space determinations."
