An assessment of land available at nuclear power stations was performed in an to determine the limitations land availability would impose on the implementation of reject heat utilization system.

Separate abstracts are included for development programs for electronic equipment involved with plasma research, data processing, uranium environmental surveys, and geothermal surveys.

The following program plan elements are described: barriers to commercialization, cost/benefit analysis for exploration assessment technology (hydrothermal systems), goals, objectives, technical plan, management plan, budget, and procurement plan. (MHR)

The stress analysis performed on the 4''-WH-237-E piping system inside containment penetration S-17B is presented. Deadweight, thermal expansion, and seismic loads were considered. Results of this analysis show that the subject piping system will meet ASME Code, Section III, Class 2 requirements.

A technical basis for assessing the true safety margins of containment structures involved with MARK I boiling water reactor reevaluation activities is presented. It is based on the results of a plane-strain, large displacement, elasto-plastic, finite-element analysis of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to external and internal pressure pulses. An analytical procedure is presented for estimating the ultimate load capacity of the thin shell structure, and subsequently, for quantifying the design margins of safety for the type of loads under consideration. For defining failure of structures, a finite strain failure criterion is derived that accounts for multiaxiality effects.
