Proton hole states in the 1f/sub 7/2/ nuclei /sup 46/Ti, /sup 54/Fe, /sup 56/Fe, /sup 58/Ni, and /sup 60/Ni have been studied with the (p,2p) reaction with 46-MeV protons. The measured binding energies and angular correlations are consistent with the binding energies and orbital angular momentum assignments (1f/sub 7/2/, 2s/sub 1/2/, and 1d/sub 3/2/) obtained from proton pick-up reactions. 3 figures, 1 table.

From Abstract: "The Vacuum-Freezing Vapor-Compression (VFVC) Process was evaluated on high salinity brackish water during the period from February 1968 through December 1969 by Colt Industries Inc., under O.S.W. Contract No. 14-01-0001-967 at Roswell, New Mexico. The 15,000 gpd VFVC test plant is mounted on a mobile trailer which was built by Colt Industries Inc. in their factory at Beloit, Wisconsin. Prior to operation at Roswell, the plant was operated at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina to check out the system and to operate the trailer on sea water." Process Description: "A simplified diagram, Figure 2, shows both the essential components of the process and flow paths of the various streams in the system. Typical heat and mass balances are shown on Figures 3 and 4."

Per your request, we have summarized for both the single-pass reactors and N Reactor the amount of radioisotopes released in DUN reactor liquid effluents. Wherever possible, the sources of the radioisotope and the important parameters which influence the release of the radioisotope have been identified. Because of the great dissimilarities between the two types of reactors, the data are discussed on an individual basis.
