The following document analyzes one hundred and seventy-seven bevatron tau mesons for Q value of the tau decay, tau spin and parity, and possible polarization effects.

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 Ben Shepperd, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Requirement of a permit for transportation of pipe by a contractor for installation of a pipe line contracted for as a turnkey job when the pipe is furnished by the pipe line company and the contract includes an amount for the pipe's transportation.

The statistical approach to the gust-load problem, which consists in considering flight through turbulent air to be a stationary random process, is extended by including the effect of lateral variation of the instantaneous gust intensity on the aerodynamic forces. The forces obtained in this manner are used in dynamic analyses of rigid and flexible airplanes free to move vertically, in pitch, and in roll. The effect of the interaction of longitudinal, normal, and lateral gusts on the wind stresses is also considered.

This report discusses the use of solvent extraction techniques at HAPO for separating plutonium from uranium and fission products which is rather expensive. This is in part due to solvent, chemical and process steam costs and in part to the need for complicated equipment to handle the process. It is felt that the use of ion exchange resin techniques might be economically attractive both as to lowered chemical costs and equipment simplification. Also, the decontamination achieved by solvent extraction is at time marginal. Changing to another process following partial decontamination by solvent offers the possibility of greater over-all DF`s.

There is a continuing high interest in the development of organic coolant technology for application to future Hanford reactors. In addition to the HAPO organic program, two other programs are being sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission. These include the Naval Reactor program, aimed at a reactor for ship propulsion, and the Civilian Power Reactor program. Because of the similarity of the technical efforts in the three programs, an attempt is being made to establish effective liaison among the programs. To this end, a visit was made to several sites actively engaged in organic development work. These sites and their primary functions are detailed in this report.
