Cascade is an inertial fusion reactor that uses circulating Li/sub 2/O pellets as a coolant and tritium breeding medium. The pellets flow through a horizontal rotating vessel, and they are held against the vessel wall by centrifugal force. Three wall designs were considered: a steel shell and a SiC shell prestressed by Al or steel cables. The nuclear heating, tritium breeding ration, afterheat, inhalation biological hazard potential, and shallow land burial index were calculated for each configuration. Tritium breeding is more than adequate (1.35). Spray cooling of the wall exterior will be required during operation, but thermal radiation heat removal will be sufficient after shutdown. Allowable release fractions during an accident are higher than in comparable designs. Disposal of activated components by shallow land burial is feasible. Hands-on maintenance of the SiC/Al wall will be possible if it is moved away from the reflector.

Since 1981 President Reagan has requested increasing amounts of military and economic aid to assist two embattled Salvadoran governments in he struggle against leftist guerrillas. While Congress has generally supported the Administration's requests for economic aid, it has regularly cut military assistance to El Salvador and has made the aid contingent upon a semi-annual Presidential certification that human rights are improving in the country.
