Abstract: "The analysis of an immobilized plasma is here extended to the case where the geometry is cylindrical rather than Cartesian. (This report, UCRL-4439 (Rev, 4 constitutes Part II of the report series (UCRL-4466, Parts I, III, and IV) dealing with this general problem.)"

Subject: This report presents an investigation of a reportedly large low-grade ore body in the vicinity of Cameron, Arizona.

An attempt to apply quantitatively the equation of state of a free electron gas to relatively low temperatures in order to emphasize correlation effects.

A report discussing and area of 2.5 square miles along the southwest border of the pre-Cambrian granitic rocks complex in the pre-Cambrian core of the Harney Peak region, Black Hills, South Dakota that was mapped to determine the relationship between the granite-pegmatite complex and the pegmatites containing beryl and other industrial minerals. This investigation was part of the U.S. Geological Surveys program for the investigation of domestic beryllium resources and was carried out on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission.

The following report introduces the aquadag, a part of the stellarator with the purposes to prevent the non-uniform accumulation of electrostatic charges on the walls of the stellerator and to free the electrons of the stellerator and provide accelerations, achieving a uniform field distribution.

The following report provides data based off of the solubility of sodium uranyl acetate that was measured under a variety if conditions.

Introduction: "In the early operation of the WTR severe canal corrosion of dummy fuel assemblies and a beryllium A-piece caused a great deal of concern as to the possible effects of long-time canal storage on such elements. A short-term experimental program was started to determine the causes of this corrosion and to correct them before any irradiated fuel elements had to be stored in the canal. The results of this program are presented here."

An ex-reactor test stimulating the charging of a tubular fuel element in a Zircaloy-2 process tube showed a problem of severe process tube scratching and galling may occur if metal sliding contact fuel element supports are used. Both the fuel supports and the process tubes were autoclaved. Although the conditions of this test were severe in that the sharp edges rather than a flat surface of the supports were in contact with the process tube, it pointed out the potential problem of galling by point on small area contact supports on heavy fuel elements. This difficulty had not been observed with the lighter tubular or cluster fuel elements used in KER irradiation. In addition to the loss of metal and thinning of the process tube after a number of charge-discharge operations, these scratches may lead to localized corrosion or act as points of stress concentration.

Experimental studies on continuous denitration performed in 321 Building resulted in the development of an agitated-through-type calciner. The performance of a paddle-agitated 4-in.-diameter by 44-in.-long reactor was sufficiently promising to warrant construction of a 16-in.-diameter by 8 ft.-long semi-plant scale model. This progress report summarizes the results of studies to date employing the semi-plant scale calciner.

Research progress on projects: Landau Effect with 32 Mev Protons, n - p Scattering of "300" Mev Neutrons, Geologic History of the Earth's Magnetic Field.

The results of an examination of "O" ring gaskets remove from the HRT following a discovery that the water in the leak detector system contained 1000 ppm chloride are presented.

The Fuel Cycle Program is an integrated program of investigation in the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor and other facilities to improve the technological limits of boiling water reactors in several areas.
