The results of the analysis of {approx} 1000 {nu} events of the type {nu} + N {yields} {mu}{sup -} + hadrons from the NAL dichromatic beam are presented. Distributions in terms of the scaling variables x = Q{sup 2}/2o{nu} and y = {sup E}n/E{sub {nu}} are presented. The x distribution is compared with F{sub 2}{sup ed} (x) from SLAC; the Q{sup 2} distribution is tested for the presence of the propagator term F{sub 2}(x) {yields} F{sub 2}(x)/(1 + Q{sup 2}/2){sup 2}; and the y distributions are fit to the form d{sigma}{sup {nu}N}/dy = 1 + a(1-y){sup 2}. A smaller amount of {bar {nu}} data will also be presented.

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 ISD once having provided for a runoff election, must do so in each election thereafter.

Tasks are reported that were done in assistance to the Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company in the area of process technology and development, and in assistance to the Hanford Plant in the areas of environmental evaluations, radiation protection, and radiation standards and engineering.

This report describes field geological and geophysical investigations of the Marysville geothermal area, including geological mapping, sample collection, a ground total field magnetic survey, gravity survey, seismic ground noise survey, microearthquake survey, and heat flow study. Although sufficient data are not available, it is likely that a magma chamber is the heat source. A second section, ''Contemporary Seismicity in the Helena, Montana, Region'' examines the coincidence of high heat flow and earthquake swarm activity in this region. (GRA)

As a result of the recent concern by environmentalists, the hypothetical accident thermal test can no longer be performed by simply burning gasoline in an open pit. The uncontrolled open pit technique creates thick, dense, black clouds of smoke which are not permitted by local authorities. This paper deals with the design of the fire test facility and the techniques used to eliminate the smoke plume. The techniques include the addition of excess air to the fire in combination with a spray of water mist near the fuel surface. The excess air technique has been used successfully in an experimental setup; it was found that the temperature could be controlled in the neighborhood of the required 1475 degrees F environment and the smoke could be reduced to very low levels. The water spray technique has been successfully used by others in similar applications and, on completion of a permanent fire test facility at Mound Laboratory (anticipated July, 1974), test results will be available. The water is believed to interact with the combustion reaction to provide more complete combustion. The permanent facility will be a 10 x 10 ft cement block enclosure lined with firebrick. It will be 8 ft high …

Design of finned casks for dissipation of heat from radioactive decay usually requires reliance on generalized correlations in the literature which do not necessarily apply to the specific cask design. A correlation was developed, based on temperature profile measurements, for the design of upright cylindrical casks with vertical fins for convective and radiant heat transfer to ambient air. Temperature data at various heat loads were obtained for two different cask sizes of the same basic design. Each cask is mounted on a steel pallet and contained within a steel mesh cage. The smaller cask, which has 23 fins, has been approved (DOT-SP-6321) for shipment of up to 1400 W (th), and approval is being obtained (AEC AL USA/9503 BLF) for shipment of up to 3500 W heat load in the larger, 60-fin cask. The applicable theoretical equations were fit to the temperature data for both casks by simply adjusting the value used for the number of fins. The resulting correlation provides a reliable method for interpolation and extrapolation and for design of similar finned casks.

Thesis. The optical absorption spectra of Ho/sup 3+/ in the rare earth salt HoF/sub 3/ is studied. Such optical region studies (visible radiation) are easily performed with standard light sources and optical arrangements. Since the energy range of visible light coincides with the excitation energy range for a number of electronic transitions within the rare earth salts, the studies theoretically provide considerable information about rare earth electronic energy levels. Data are compiled for the effects of an applied magnetic field upon the spectra and the effect of sample temperature on the observed absorption spectra. 61 references. (MCW)

BS>The status of delayed neutron measurements is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the absolute yield va the energy of the neutrons cauging fission, group yields and periods, and in the delayed neutron spectra. Systematics are discussed; and an evaluated data set, based both on available measurements and on systematics arguments, is suggested for inclusion in ENDF/B-IV. Areas of delayed neutron studies which require additional measurements are outlined. (18 figures, 18 tables) (auth)
