This manual contains the Radiation Control Standards'' and Radiation Control Procedures'' at Hanford Operations which have been established to provide the necessary control radiation exposures within Irradiation Processing Department. Provision is also made for including, in the form of Bulletins'', other radiological information of general interest to IPD personnel. The purpose of the standards is to establish firm radiological limits within which the Irradiation Processing Department will operate, and to outline our radiation control program in sufficient detail to insure uniform and consistent application throughout all IPD facilities. Radiation Control Procedures are intended to prescribe the best method of accomplishing an objective within the limitations of the Radiation Control Standards. A procedure may be changed at any time provided the suggested changes is generally agreeable to management involved, and is consistent with department policies and the Radiation Control Standards.

Abstract: "This report describes six electronics areas at the Radiation Laboratory (Berkeley and Livermore) that are being successfully used with various particle acceleration for nuclear research. The electronics equipment, consisting of pulse amplifiers, scalers, coincidence circuits, pulse-height analyzers, automatic recording equipment, high-voltage supplies, etc., is arranged in such a manner that most experiments can be quickly set up, and a number of people can run experiments simultaneously. Advantage and limitations of these areas are discussed."

This report describes a study which has been completed of Hanford production pile space requirements for the manufacture of polonium 210, thulium 170, and iridium 192. Sufficient radioisotope is required for the generation of 2000 watts of heating by radioactive decay after a decay period of 150 days.

OTS). The situation of a leak of sctiwe material into a flowing air- stream presents the problem of determining possible upstream diffusion of the activity. In a constant velocity one directional flow involving three dimensional diffusion from a point source, the upstream concentration is severely limited compared to that downstream. For all practical values of the flow velocity and diffusion coefficients, this upstream concentration is negligible. It is to be noted, however, that the velocity profile of a flow in a finite channel involves points of very low velocity, and at these points the diffusion effect might predominate, resulting in some upstream diffusion. Even in this case, unknown convection effects would be more important than diffusion effects. (auth)

Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effect of boundary-layer control and inlet lip shape on the performance of a side-inlet air-induction system for a fighter-type airplane. Two methods of boundary layer control and three inlet lip shapes were investigated at a range of Mach numbers and mass-flow ratios. Results regarding net propulsive thrust are also provided.

Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of various methods for the control of afterburner combustion screech at afterburner-inlet total pressures from 4000 to 6400 pounds per square foot absolute. Generally, the range of afterburner fuel-air ratios in which screech occurred and the intensity of screech did not vary appreciably in the range of pressures covered.

Memorandum presenting a wind-tunnel investigation in which dynamic models that included elastic simulation were used to study the flight characteristics of a swept-wing bomber with parasite swept-wing fighters coupled at the wing tips. The configuration is meant to represent an efficient towing arrangement whereby the operational range of fighters can be increased.

Report presenting an investigation of the F9F-4 airplane to evaluate a high-energy blowing boundary-layer-system in flight in order to improve the maximum lift characteristics of airplane wings. A high-energy blowing-boundary-layer control system was installed by the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. A series of test flights were made to measure the lift and drag variations with changes in angle of attack for the flap and gear both up and down and for blowing on and off.

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation in which dynamic models that included elastic simulation to study the flight characteristics of a swept-wing bomber with parasite swept-wing fighters coupled at the wing tips. The configuration represents an efficient owing arrangement in which the operational range of fighters can be increased. Results regarding the bomber alone, fighter coupled wing tip to wing tip, and fighter coupled on boom are provided.

From Introduction: "The purpose of this paper is to review new and significant data which will be of interest to designers in determining the heating of these components. A comparison with existing theory to indicate its adequacy in each case is also presented."

Report presenting a discussion of the use of an effective rotor-blade momentum thickness in describing rotor-blade loss characteristics. A derivation of the necessary equations is presented for obtaining momentum thickness for given overall turbine performance, stator performance, and rotor geometric quantities.
