From Introduction: "This symposium focuses attention on the growing awareness of the necessity for developing and using better methods for characterizing solids. Many of the most interesting properties of solids depend directly upon these small concentrations of impurities and defects, and the illustration of this is a principal theme of this paper."

Report concerning the possible use of octafluorocyclobutane, R-C318, being used in the direct freezing process as a means of extracting fresh water from sea water. Topics include using R-C318 to make ice, flash precooling, design of a small direct freezing pilot plant using R-C318, and related economic studies.

Report evaluating the possibility of eliminating corrodible metallic heat transfer surfaces from sea water desalination streams, using direct-contact liquid-liquid heat transfer instead.

From foreward: "This is another of a series of reports designed to present accounts of progress on saline water conversion with the expectation that the exhange of such data will contribute to the long range development of economical processes applicable to large scale desalination plants for conversion of sea and other saline waters." This particular report describes various aspects of a demonstration plant in San Diego, California.

From introduction: "This report has been prepared in conjunction with the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Follow-On Study. It is the Concept I description of Task I as outlined by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Appendix C of their Follow-On Study Program."

The ACIR Library is composed of publications that study the interactions between different levels of government. This document addresses state-local taxation and industrial location.

This document is a Pacific Northwest Laboratory Monthly Activities Report for March 1967, for the Division of Production and Hanford Plant Assistance Programs. Included in this report are brief status reports on the following programs: (1) Direct AEC Sponsored Programs including Columbia River studies, whole-body measurements of Richland school children, field tests using the U{sup 235} Analyzer, and criticality studies (2) Assistance to Douglas United Nuclear including transducer development studies, design of a simulated fuel column, and process technology (3) Assistance to General Electric N-Reactor Department including various fuel element studies, N-process tube scratching studies, and other reactor-related tests and simulations (4) Assistance to Isochem including experimental studies on corrosion, separations instrumentation, etc. and (5) Technical Assistance to the Hanford Plant including programs on environmental evaluations, dosimetry studies, and instrumentation services.

This document contains information about the activities of Douglas United Nuclear at the Hanford site during the month of March 1967.

Report combining National Bureau of Standards Monograph 27 with the references given in Supplement 1 (May 13, 1963) and issued as a single publication to assist users of this material. References concern the field of temperature measurement. These references were collected from two general sources: Scientific and technical literature and government reports. References are divided into a number of categories based on the type of instrument used. Some references to calibration of instruments and to scientific theories upon which temperature measurement is based are also presented.

Report discussing the selection, specifications, and use of signal-light colors. It discusses the nature of the problem, and the mathematical representation, recognition, production, control, and use of such colors. The characteristics of different types of chromaticity boundaries and the purpose and effect of the requirement for similarity of chromaticity characteristics are given special consideration. The treatment is varied according to the intended use. The discussion of the control of colors and the section on the use of colors are nontechnical, whereas the section on the production of signal colors is designed for the colorimetrist who is faced with the problem of selecting limit filters or drafting a specification.

This document shows the status of production test control tube loadings (at Hanford) in reactor process tubes containing significant amounts of SS materials. This information is entirely numerical and is presented in the form of computer printouts. For additional information on the column headings and the current discharge goal plan, refer to document DUN-1048.

Report discussing microwave attenuation measurement methods and standards. In addition, a relatively new and more precise way of representing and analyzing an attenuation measurement is presented. This in turn permits more rigorous definitions and error analyses than were previously possible. The referral of microwave attenuation measurements to standards operating at lower frequencies is discussed with particular attention to the errors in the referral processes as well as the errors in the standards themselves. Desirable characteristics are listed for attenuators which are suitable for calibration. Measurement methods are classified and described. Comments are made on the accuracy and convenience of various methods, and references are given which cover most of the basic and important research in this field. Key words: Microwave, attenuation, measurements, standards, tutorial.
