It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Waggoner Carr, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Whether the playing of bingo on television constitutes a lottery and related question.

>The corrosion resistance of mantensitic and ferritic austenitic stainless steels and carbon steels in pressurized water at 500 to 600 deg F is compared. Included are specific out-of-pile data for austenitic stainless steels, AISI types types 410, 420, 431, and 440C; the ferritic AISI types 430, 442, and 446; the precipitation-hardening type 17-4PH; and carbon steels, ASTM 212 A and B. Available corrosion results obtained under irradiation at exposures in the range of 7 x 10/sup 16/ to 3 x 10/sup 19/ nvt are also included for types 304, types of martensitic and ferritic stainless steels which were evaluated do not contain nickel. For application where it is desirable to minimize Co/sup 58/ activity produced from nickel, selection of a martensitic or ferritic stainless steel may be more appropriate than choosing the more popular nickel-bearing austenitic stainless steel or a fuel-element cladding material. Interpretation of the data indicates that, on the average, martensitic and ferritic stainless steels corrode more rapidly than austenitic alloys but more slowly than carbon and low-alloy steels. Under selected controlled water conditions or under irradiation, the corrosion of the nickel-free stainless steels appears to differ little from the austenitics. The corrosion of martensitic and ferritic stainless …

A FORTRAN program is presented for processing pulse-height data for particles emitted from a nuclear reaction. The program corrects the particle energy for any absorber preceding the detector and computes the differential center-of-mass cross section as a function of the reaction Q value and the excitation energy of the final nucleus. The energies can be computed either relativistically or nonrelativistically. The program is written as a series of subroutines to facilitate possible expansion of the program and to allow easy accommodation of different data input routines. The output of the program is printed in tabular form and, at the discretion of the user, punched on cards for off-line plotting or for input to other programs. (auth)
