A major instrumentation program was undertaken for the Rio Blanco experiment using accelerometers and velocity gages buried at various depths below the ground surface and at various horizontal ranges from the emplacement well. The objective was to physically measure the depth and aerial extent of spall (tensile failure of the earth material). Data from each of the instrument stations is given, along with the appropriate integrated data for particle velocity and displacement or just displacement. (auth)

Calculations for the process of auto-acceleration in an irisloaded pipe are presented. The electrom-agnetic fields generated by the beam current are calculated. Particle dynamics equations are given which consider only the axial motion of the electron. Also, results are given for calculations on a beam current rising linearly with time at the rate of 1700 A/ns. (WHK)

A plan is presented for production of oil by retorting oil shale in situ after breaking it with underground nuclear explosives. Reserves of oil shale of thickness and grade suitable (greater than 20 gal/ton) for this process occur in the Piceance Creek Basin of Colorado, and are estimated to contain 640 billion barrels of oil in place. Cost projections indicate that this oil could be produced at a price ranging from 00 to 30 at the wellhead with a 20% rate of return on investment (discounted cash flow). The price and production rate vary with oil shale thickness. At a rate of 32 nuclear chimneys per year in oil shale ranging in thickness from 1000 to 2000 ft, production varies from 28 million bbl/yr ( 30/ bbl) to 121 million bbl/yr (P2.O0/bbl). Capital requirements for this in situ process are estimated to be 20 times less than those reguired by a surface retorting process. Environmental problems such as the need to dispose of large volumes of waste rock associated with conventional mining and surface retorting of oil shale would be largely avoided. Problems of seismic ground motion and possible contamination of the oil and groundwater appear manageable. The necessity for …

A brief summary of the history of research in the fields of radiation damage, point defects, and dislocation effects is presented. Theory and previous experiments are discussed. Apparatus capable of continuously measuring changes in the elastic modulus and internal friction during gamma irradiation over the temperature range from <4 deg K to well above room temperature is described. A novel hollow-cylinder sample geometry permits use of a source strength of only 1 Ci. Survey experiments over a wide temperature range and isothermal irradiations above room temperature are discussed. Results are explained in terms of the KoehlerGranato- Luecke vibrating-string dislocation model and the Thompson- Buck- Huntington- Barnes defect-dislocation interaction model. Consistent results are obtained under the assumptions of wide dislocation splitting and the presence of two dislocation components. Long-range migration appears to-occur first in Stuge I in silver. The activation energy for the observed Stage III annealing is about 0.48 eV. The responsible defect is most likely the single interstitial atom. Pipe diffusion is necessary to explain the results. The trapping efficiency of dislocations could not be determined because of the presence of more than one dislocation component. (27 figures, 9 tables, 157 references) (DLC)

Fission foils for use in fission ionization chambers were produced by painting metal substrates with coats of fissionable isotopes. Areal densities as large as 2.0 mg/cm/sup 2/ were obtained with excellent adhesion. This painting technique has been successful in depositing isotopes of uranium, plutonium, americium, and curium on metal substrates made of beryllium, aluminum, copper, and nickel. The cost of this painting technique is estimated to be approximately one-tenth the cost of producing foils by evaporation, electrodeposition, or sputtering techniques. In addition, the painting technique is highly efficient, thereby minimizing waste of the available fissionable material. (auth)
