A two year design study has been completed for medical ion accelerators with beams of sufficient range and intensity for therapy. The particles of main interest were ions between carbon and neon, but the generation of proton and neutron beams was studied also. Cyclotrons appear to be good injectors for a heavy ion medical synchrotron, particularly if neutron and/or isotope production is desired as well. They also offer a competitive solution for proton beams of 250 MeV. A superconducting cyclotron design for 380 MeV/u carbon was worked out, but a synchrotron for heavy ion beams of 400 to 600 MeV/u and 5 x 10/sup 9/ particles/sec was found to be more economical and flexible.

Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, John L. Hill, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification; Whether the county clerk is required to mail notice required by section 36.13(e) of the Business and Commerce Code when the commissioners court has declined to appropriate money for that final purposes.

A calculation has been performed to determine the offsite exposure to the general public in the unlikely event of the failure of Waste Gas Processing System (WGPS) piping. The consequences for this type of accident are limited by DOEM 0524 with an offsite dose of 1.5 REM. As can be seen in this LTR, the doses from this accident are far in excess of the 0524 limits. Also included in this LTR is a calculation of the BST gas space contents vs. time in the event of a WGPS piping failure.
