This report describes A series of tests that are being conducted by general Dynamics/Forth worth to evaluate the effects of nuclear radiation on various mechanical components which are to be used in the NERVA Program.

LRL has the responsibility of demonstrating the feasibility of a reactor for use as a power plant for a low-altitude, high-Mach-number missile. This reactor is literally a very high power air heater which must work at temperatures in excess of 2000' F. The reactor is exposed to high loads so one of the primary problems is providing high temperature structure. Considerable effort has been devoted to developing ceramic structural elements. One of the materials considered for this purpose is silicon nitride. In ceramic structural elements operating over large temperature ranges, a major problem is coping with thermal stress. In this respect there is a similarity with the radome problem. The work on silicon nitride at LRL consisted of limited fabrication studies (principally for familiarization), measurement of properties of interest to the application, and funding of fabrication scale-up efforts.

The isoprenoid hydrocarbons, phytane (C{sub 20}H{sub 42}) and pristane (C{sub 19}H{sub 40}) are present in the oil seeping from the Pre-Cambrian Nonesuch Formation at the White Pine Mine, Michigan. Gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry provide the isolation and identification procedures.

From introduction: "The present report indicates additional preliminary progress in the interpretation of the geology of the area on the basis of preliminary gravity and magnetic surveys and sketches the progress made in operational phases of the study of the hydrology of waste disposal."

From Introduction: "In this report we will present the results of extending our study of MPE desalination systems to include freezing processes."

From Introduction: "The major difficulty in interpreting the results obtained by this simple experimental technique is the specification of the temperature at the crystal-liquid interface. Since, the liquid-to-solid transformation is exothermic the temperature in the vicinity of the interface will exceed the temperature in the vicinity of the interface will exceed the temperature of the bulk of the cooling bath, which is the quantity most conveniently measured and most frequently reported."

From summary: "An industrial piping failure survey covering 701 contacts in electric utilities, petroleum refineries, chemical processing, marine applications, architect-engineers, component manufacturers, piping fabricating and erectors, insurance companies, and others was conducted as part of the Reactor Primary Coolant Rupture Study."

From introduction: "This report presents lithologic and geophysical logs and construction data for NRTS research observation wells."

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

Report describing a gravimetric hygrometer that serves as the NBS standard instrument for the measurement of the moisture content of gases on an absolute basis in terms of mixing ratio (mass water vapor/ unit mass of dry gas). The National Bureau of Standards and other laboratory reference and working instruments are compared and calibrated with this instrument. The measuring operation involves the absorption of the water vapor from a water vapor-gas mixture by a solid desiccant and the determination of the mass of this water vapor by precision weighing; it also involves the determination of the volume of the associated gas of known density by counting the fillings of two calibrated stainless steel cylinders. The construction and operation of the instrument is described. Discussions of the tests and calibrations of component parts, and of the sources of errors also are included. There is also an analysis of the random and systematic errors effecting the overall accuracy in the determination of mixing ratio.

Criminal intelligence report addressed to Captain W. P. Gannaway of the Special Service Bureau in Dallas, Texas. The report, which was submitted by detective H. M. Hart, states that Lee Harvey Oswald may have used Jack Ruby's automobile. The automobile was parked at Gibb's Garage. The owner of the garage, Barney L. Gibbs, and the manager of the garage, Leon E. Woods, Jr., denied that Jack Ruby ever parked his car there.
