The fallout hazard and protection factors in current use for large groups of buildings, i.e., urban residential areas, business districts, industrial complexes, government centers, Atomic Energy Commission facilities, and academic and medical institutions, are largely unsubstantiated by experimental evidence. These data are important for personnel protection on a national basis in the event of war and on a local basis in the event of certain types of nuclear accidents. The need for such information is discussed and methods for obtaining it are suggested. The methods suggested should provide a cross check of the data obtained on isolated structures under actual fallout conditions with the data from studies that made use of methods such as distributed point sources and a moving single-point source (as used in the Mobile Radiological Measurement Unit, Civil Effects Test Operations) to simulate actual fallout fields and with data from other studies in which predicted values of fallout protection were calculated from strictiy theoretical considerations.

The Salt Cycle Process is a nuclear fuel processing approach designed for application in compact facilities located at the reactor sites. Irradiated UO/sub 2/ fuels would be processed through a brief sequence of steps and partially purified UO/sub 2/ or UO/sub 2/--PuO/sub 2/ powders recovered, suitable for refabrication into fuel elements. The major steps of the process are the dissolution of uranium oxides in molten NaCl--KCl eutectic by chlorination to form soluble uranyl chloride and the reduction of uranyl chloride to UO/sub 2/, which separates as a solid. The preferred method of reduction is the electrolytic method, which yields UO/sub 2/ as a conveniently handled, adherent deposit on the cathode. Means are described for separation of Pu from U and for co-deposition of the Uo. Also included are discussions of the probable nature of the U and Pu species present in the molten salt, side reactions in which uranyl chloride may participate, and the influence of certain variables on the properties of the UO/sub 2/ produced.

Abstract: This report describes a 300,000-kwe, sodium-cooled, graphite-moderated nuclear power plant based on existing technical information.

The Shippingport Atomic Power Station was operated for 715 EFPH from Ang. 11 to Oct. 7, 1959, in order to determine the performance characteristics reliability, stability, and lifetime variation of the core during rated power operation for an extended period of time. The plant was operated at successively lower power levels of 60, 43, and 17 Mwe to extend the Core I, Seed 1 lifetime. Logs and tables are included which present the events and all recorded data in this period. (D.L.C.)

Separate abstracts were prepared on 25 sections of this report. A list of publications during the period is included. (C.H.)

>The performance characteristics of small linear-induction electromagnetic pumps suitable for high-temperature liquid-metal test-loop operation were examined. Also, methods by which the performance of such pumps may be improved were investigated. The phenomenon of fluid wetting of the pump duct wall and the use of side bars provide powerful tools for improving the linear-induction-pump performance characteristics. Full advantage of the improved performance can be obtained if the hydraulic losses are minimized by using a pump section with large duct width, which also improves the power factor and decreases the phase current requirements of the pump.
